I think you are right. This is not just a cyclic off-season defeat. There are fewer conservatives than there used to be. They are not being replaced as fast as the old ones die off. Conservatism is based on ethics, honor, patriotism, and religion, all of which are systematically being sabotaged and subverted by the media (including Hollywood and the rest of pop entertainment) and the education establishment. The drastic loss of Republican strength in the mountain West and plains states, and in old Republican areas like northern New England and the Midwest, is the result of cultural decadence and (in the West) of massive invasion by third-world aliens, who will soon get full citizenship through amnesty. Most of the American people have been trained to think and react like sentimental children, not to be critical, mature, analytical and ethical. It's pretty much what happened to other great civilizations in the past.

Superb, spot-on observations. I wish I had included some of them in my original essay ... especially:

Most of the American people have been trained to think and react like sentimental children, not to be critical, mature, analytical and ethical.

So much said in so few words -- and that one sentence describes why the citizenry is so easily led ... the reversal of which could dramatically reduce the power of the mainstream media, ivory tower academia, and the lying left, and lead us out of this self-imposed wilderness. But it will not happen. The mental sloth, apathy and ignorance is too ingrained.

Thank you for the excellent insights.
