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?

Communists have been at war for decades, with a complex plan to infiltrate every facet of our culture and government, and implementing their attack through the democrat party. Conservatives have largely been in denial that this offensive has been going on, opting instead to just holding ground on values, while remaining oblivious to the steady string of victories by the other side. Kind of like conservatives in a strong, solidly built fort, based on conservative values. The democrat communists have been consistently, over many decades, lobbing shells at the fort, slowly but steadily chipping away, while conservatives do relatively little to counter the attacks. The result is that there is little left of the once strong structure.
Totally agree on Spock!
My theory is he is the cause of the hippie thralldom to hedonism and then communism, and so forth. People were obsessed with this idiot male doctor as being some kind of expert on actually raising kids. And they keep showing that damn book 50+ years later in all the movies.
Conservatives vote in elections that are reversed, and then blog with heartfelt anger. Other than that they don't actually do anything.
When we decided to fight like them, we became like them and they drug us down to their level and beat us with experience. We became big spenders, big government, we swap old RINOs for new RINOs. We have gone so far left we are now democrats and Dems are commies. Lastly we aren’t paying attention outside our own confirmation bias, we have no idea what is happening ‘out there.’ There was a time when FR was light years ahead, now we are stuck in the past, by design. We are just now figuring out the WEF Agenda (sort of, not really) When it is unstoppable now. A sad state of affairs.
Sadly it’s hard to disagree with anything you said there.
They ARE able. They had 4 years under Trump.
The answer is...they don’t WANT to do anything. They are part of the problem.

Also because the corporate establishment types only care abut corporate issues. They will not spend political capitol on anything else. Once they get their tax cuts they are done and wait to get more. We vote for them on issues that they don’t care about and get nothing.
You have to turn the argument around on them. They call you a bigot because you disagree with homosexual marriage, call them a bigot because they hate Christians and Christian beliefs. Also, any other major religion, Judaism and Islam both are against homosexual marriage. Do they hate Jews and Muslims, too?
Abortion? They hate babies and want them to die. By the millions.
Section 8 housing and other social services keep people enslaved. Do they really want modern day slavery?
In my opinion, the end goal of liberalism is unrestricted sex with children. They are making every effort to get there, especially when they want to teach small children about deviant sex acts and acceptance of crap like “drag queen story hour”. The parents don’t care because they are pedophiles, too.
We’re too easy-going. Until we’re not.
For one thing there is no ‘Liberal Revolution’ because those that call themselves ‘liberals’ are not true Liberals.
They have stolen the name of a respected and honorable political and social philosophy, “Classical Liberalism”.
and use it to hide behind and disguise their totalitarian bent.
2nd law of thermodynamics.
It takes far more energy to build something than to destroy it.
I used to see this all the time with my kids - one kid would spend hours building an elaborate castle out of wooden blocks, and then try to defend it.
The others would easily be able to wreck it in a matter of seconds by throwing a pillow from the other side of the room.
The Marxists are out to destroy our Constitutional Republic - Conservatives are trying to protect it - the Marxists have a huge advantage.

You speak the truth.

It sure does appear that way.
But maybe that will change as time goes on.
How?
Sustained pain. The American electorate experiencing
SUSTAINED SEVERE ECONOMIC PAIN (and learning NOT to elect
Marxists as their policy makers.)
NO GAIN WITHOUT PAIN.

Because they are positioned to profit from it.

I hear ya.
But we gotta keep hope alive . . . LOL . . .

Yes. I think of them as parasites. Conservatives can certainly live without them, but they feed on us.
I think that’s why they get so pissed when we build our own platforms (Truth Social, Gab, etc.). When they would get a whole country, they’d build walls to keep us in.
It will eventually turn around, as the consequences mount.
Israel faced this issue under the times of Balaam.
The time it may turn around may be when Christ comes, but it will turn around.
>“..The answer is...they don’t WANT to do anything. They are part of the problem....”
>^THIS^
Exactly. They are comfortable enough to not do the needful.
The needful being not to allow the left to use the same air.
“One more thing, why do Conservative parents pay to send their kids to lefty universities?”
There’s nowhere to send them that isn’t leftie! You just hope that by home schooling and CLEPing the low level classes then stick to a STEM major that they can avoid the social justice “classes”. That’s what we did at least.
