An electorate that elected and then reelected Bill Clinton and then eight years later elects Barack Obama has me worried.
I suppose it’s related to the utter degradation of the media and the academy that’s occured in my life time. Miseducated and misinformed voters are the cancer on the body politic.
The election of Clinton was not nearly as big a tragedy. At least Clinton wasn’t a radical socialist to the left of the Europeans. Remember how he infuriated politicians from the left and right by continually “triangulating” and finding a position in the middle? Please don’t flame me too badly for this. I’m no fan of BJ Clinton, but comparing him to the favorite son of Kenya gives the Odumbo way too much respect. Obama was the electorate’s really Big Ass Mistake (America).
Misinformation from the media (and from the “academics”) is a really big problem. We need to take the war directly to them.
The media, the democrats who helped to put McCain at the top of the ticket, the wimpy RINOs who didn’t want to say anything bad about him for hear of being labeled racist, the RINOS who crossed over and voted for The One because they watch too much American Idol and were confused about what we were voting for...! I could go on. Feel free to add to the list:
P.T. Barnum was right...suckers are born every minute....and America is chock full of ignorant suckers willing to believe anything especially wrapped in meaningless platitudes of “hope” and “change”. We will be paying for the sins of these suckers for decades...
The electorate that are shaping this country have no clue to the larger picture.
They are sustained by intravenously-fed, 24/7 entertainment yielding very successful dumbing down that is continuously primed by sugary “gimme” promises and class contempt by the manipulative left—and faddish pop culture messages of ‘sacrifice’ ( look for this to wear thin, the left leaning populace has not demonstrated the maturity or ability to really know what ‘sacrifice ‘ means-—it is today’s fashion trend led by the cult of Obama and is a flagrant and evil device to gain hearts and minds for social control).
While in parallel, the citizenry are “progressive” lemmings ( read: “I’m hip, see how enlightened I am?”....just like my favorite celebrities) in demonizing the responsible common sense, cause and effect fundamentals that represent ‘stodgy’ conservative ideals.
These victimized, indulged, childlike citizens are paving the way for us all to be dominated as pawns in the grand reframing of cooperative civilization, led by a few.
It is not a pretty picture. But they are vicious in their defense of Obama.
My previously intelligent cousin has been inoculated against reason with her rapt support of Obama, she will not tolerate ANY discussion that is not automatically positive about Obama. She throws her hands up, “Says I will NOT discuss THIS”...turns her back with an emotional shield that is cult-like.
Until the grisly outcome is set and done—and we’ve lost so much of what so many sacrificed for—and this cult-like, child-like populace begins to feels the discomfort of what they’ve ushered in—this direction will continue traction.
Ignorance is bliss. Pain must come before awareness. The pain will come.
To win this fight you have to know the tactics of your enemy, and turn those tactics against them. The left has been very successful in characterizing Christians as self-righteous, unenlightened, hypocritical, flat-Earth types. They have been very successful in characterizing conservatives as poorly read, mean-spirited, selfish, non-'progressives’ who are responsible for the gun deaths in America, make the world hate us, and who are throwbacks to an earlier less enlightened time in history.
The terms of the argument need to be redefined. The democrats and liberals need to be characterized openly and repeatedly as naive, self-centered, narcissistic, totalitarian types who have outdated ideas and who are unenlightened and anti-progress. Alinsky’s rules support ridiculing your opponents publicly. The left has done this repeatedly (Palin, Bush, Quayle, etc.) The old money types on the right seem to feel it is undignified to get down in the trenches and fight the criticisms and ridicule thrown at them. I don't think that's a viable strategy when dealing with the left. I think the left needs to be counterpunched, each and every time they try their tactics.
The goal should be to make the words ‘liberal’ and ‘progressive’
Marxism is our nation's most serious threat. Schools are the Marxists most important weapon.
Schools could also be the conservatives most important weapon. We must completely close down government K-12 schools, work to reform our colleges and universities, and open new conservative alternatives.
