Well done. I think this format / organization will work on those who already think the way we do, or are intelligent enough to work through the ramifications of your points. I don’t think it would work on the Rove-ists or those already on the left.
Your amygdalae-related explanation fogs the point you’re trying to make which (IMO) is that the country in general lacks a proper grasp of where we are, and the consequences of continuing the status quo. They live in that happy ignorance that comes from a life lacking the explanation and critical consideration of real world consequences. They have had their self esteem endlessly, and needlessly reinforced by their teachers, parents and leaders such that they’ve never had to lose, never been told “no”, never understood that someone winning through effort and natural ability is a good thing. The endless preaching of non-violence (which you touched on) goes hand in hand with an overabundance of caution, and a mindless protection of the environment.
From top to bottom, it’s my opinion that the populace is “damaged”. Whether you could reach them through honest ad-engineering or not remains to be seen. Until the current crop of appeasers and panderers is flushed from the party (or a conservative party is properly formed, which in itself seems an insurmountable challenge), the party will not be willing to perform what they see as political suicide through “negative”, “hateful” and “divisive” ads.

Thank you.

Interesting. I may think differently, so this seemed good to me. Perhaps most others don’t?

My hope is some will read the research on my site, and realize the damage is almost certainly not so much damage, as atrophy of the amygdala, and that research indicates that it can actually be corrected, through an aggressive derision of the Liberalism.
Thank you for the feedback. I increasingly realize we all think differently, and appreciate others giving me a window into their perceptions of my unique (odd?) angle on things.
