Why Have Conservatives Been Unable To Stop The Liberal Revolution That Threatens Their Culture?

Posted on 03/19/2022 12:22:35 PM PDT by JAG 5000

Is a question asked by Patrick J. Buchanan in his classic work The Death Of The West. `

Says Buchanan: `

One reason is "The Liberals have captured the institutions where the young

spend most of their waking hours -- MTV and primetime, movies and

magazines, schools and colleges -- the Liberal Revolution is able to shape

the values, beliefs, and attitudes of the young. Artists, actors, playwrights,

song writers, and popular singers are almost all on the other side. `

(As for the Conservatives. . . ) `

Op-ed page commentators and radio hosts (eg Mark Levine) cannot match

this cultural firepower. The arsenals are unequal. Moreover, the entertainment

that the (Liberal) cultural revolution has to offer is far more attractive and

alluring, thus many of the children of traditionalists defect."

__Patrick J. Buchanan, The Death Of The West, pages 201-211

`

The Death Of The West is an oldie goldie but well worth

reading or re-reading. Its a magnificent conservative

work.

Thoughts?

Conservatism takes work.

Work is hard.

Nuff said.

One more item.

Can we the people of God be safe and thrive here in this land area (America) while General Time and General Death are destroying Feminism and Homosexualism through normal historical processes?

YES.

Here is the Biblical principle:

It did NOT hail in the land of Goshen where the people of God were living while at the same time, just a few miles away, the Sovereign God was killing the wicked Egyptians by the ton load.

In a battle a bullet misses one man, but kills another man.
God is absolute Sovereign and controls the details of our lives ~~ “sparrows” and “hairs” remember “sparrows” and “hairs”?

The Sovereign God can make it rain in Bob’s front yard and the house right next door, 30 feet away, does not get even ONE (1) drop of rain.

The Sovereign God knows where the wicked live. He has their name and their street addresses.

So will God kill the wicked? How about the Flood? What do you think? How about the Canaanites? What do you think?
How about the Egyptians in the Red Sea? What do you think?

Fact.

the GOP became gutless, beginning with Bush Sr.
Why? this was when the huddling masses began to really build aniw o alswas as their center of politics, to even include video messages from major players and presidents, to the exclusion of those who didnot attend, even their own housebound party-mates.

so, the word did not get out, and the world was no longer their field to sow and reap.

i was a witness to this. i was also witness, to the less politicking and more praying when the clintons were on the ballot! where’d that lead?

lastly, when that group of pastors “laid the mantle” on Donald Trump, which has never been seen performed before, i knew he would win.

( but know we are in the time of when that prophet was dumped into the city cesspool)

Here is another quote from Buchanan that I wanted to put in this thread.

“Americans who look upon this cultural revolution as politics-as-usual
do not understand it. It means to make an end of the country we love.
It cannot be appeased. Its relentless, reckless use of terms like
extremist, sexist, racist, homophobe, nativist, xenophobe, fascist,
and Nazi testifies to how seriously it takes the struggle and how it
views those who resist. For the true believers in the revolution the
Right is not just wrong, the Right is evil.”__Patrick J. Buchanan,
The Death Of The West, page 215

Observation: The list of SINS and EVIL that the Donk Party supports
either directly or indirectly is HUGE-ENORMOUS and growing. Fact.

In my younger days (decades ago) I was heavily involved in political campaigns, particularly getting relatively unknown candidates started in their careers.

The fund-raising was very depressing. It seemed like a large percentage of the potential donors (and usually the wealthier ones) wanted special treatment for their special interest.

The public interest was the last thing on their minds.

We should not be surprised when the politicians reflect the values of their wealthy donors.

I personally believe that statement goes far beyond just politicians.

Here is another quote from Buchanan I wanted to put into this thread:

“A new generation has grown up for whom the cultural revolution is not a
revolution at all, but the culture they were born into and have known all
their lives. Public homosexuality, pornography, abortion, trash talk on TV
and in movies, and filthy lyrics in popular music have all been around since
before they can remember. No big deal. Many have come to accept the
axioms of modernity about how wicked the old America was It is the
traditional culture they find odd. They have passed through the schools
and universities, consumed the fare, and come to believe what they were
taught about the country’s old heroes and history. ‘We will steal your
children’, the sixties radicals howled at Middle America. They did.”
__Patrick J. Buchanan, The Death Of The West, page 214
