This is the kind of article that Guardian writers pen for Guardian readers. Remember one advantage we have, and it is key: the Left lives in its own echo chamber. They actually believe that Michael Moore is popular. Michael Moore is a con man and a liar, but that is beside the point. What I am getting to is that Michael Moore's works reach a very small audience of committed liberals. Most of America doesn't give a rat's ass what he thinks, and won't care after Bush is reelected anyway. But because Julian lives in this international Eurotrash Echo Chamber, he believes that his assertions are as fact. And why?
Because everyone that Julian knows in the smart set agrees with Julian!
This is a key for us domestically. Liberals really believed that Air America would take off like gangbusters. Instead, it has tanked in less than three months, despite a big media sendoff. They thought that everyone in America with common sense agreed with them; they could not conceive of the possibility that they could be wrong!
That is our decisive advantage as we go forward as conservatives. Our opponents are intellectually arrogant enough to fail to question their own first principles. We, as conservatives, must never fail to remember that and do two things:
1. Rigorously argue our own first principles so they stand up to scrutiny.
2. Remember that conservatives are a minority. we live in a 40-40-20 nation. NEVER assume that "most Americans" think as Freepers do. They don't. We must constantly argue our positions, and never assume, as the liberals due, that our positions are the "default" positions.
Be Seeing You,
