No need for apologies, I wasn't scraped that bad and I've been around FR for a long time.

I'm not saying your plan is bad, just that you have to start at the basics, educating the public and moving opinion, before you can put it in place. Look how much money George Soros spent to get Gore and Kerry elected. He wasted his money because he thought he could buy public opinion instead of concentrating on shifting peoples positions.

This is particularly difficult for us because the left owns most of the media, higher education and Hollywood.

Gawrsh Bob, that statement is just full of holes.....where to start. First of all, Soros didn't need to shift peoples' positions, that's been (what's left of the MSM) ABCNNBCBS's job, along with the NYT, LAT, WAPO, etc for decades. They have been the Dim's cheerleaders for a long time under the guise of news. Influence? Certainly. Soros just supplied and supported the candidate.

Would you agree that by most any measure, America is a conservative country, but Americans generally have had problems identifying issues with parties because of the media's persistent muddying of the waters? Only within the last 15 years, more or less, has the media become the object of suspicion for most Americans and look what's happened. As they lose their grip on the electorate, the electorate has swung right. IOW, the electorate, in larger and larger numbers, no longer trusts the media.

Just as an aside, the socialist media still wields some clout, partitularly within the beltway, where they apply their bludgeon to our conservatives. I submit the constant harping has the effect on our guys, whether they realize it or not, of perpetually looking over their shoulders.

The point being, look how close they've come to winning, with socialist, doofus candidates in, of all places, hostile territory.

Well crap! I was actually going somewhere with all this but I totally lost my train of thought. I'm forced to leave it as is to pick up later maybe. Oh, to be 20, 30, 40, 50 again.
