Conservatives, if we are ever to achieve a lasting ascendancy and eliminate liberalism as a significant cultural influence, must understand that a long term plan on confronting and overcoming this challenge must be put in place or we will always just come up short of our goals. Lasting ascendancy is impossible. Prevailing political sentiment swings left and right with the passing of generations. Enjoy our time on top, work to prolong it if you can, but don't make the mistake of thinking that you can break the natural political cycle. -Bob JLasting ascendancy is impossible.

Forget "lasting" ascendancy. Conservatism is ascendant right now, but the effect of it is being blunted by the media. Also, left and right aren't symmetric. The press will always tend on the left because faulty ideas get some lead time before reality comes crashing in.
