I do what I can. I try to persuade people through my writings of the problems with liberal rule. I think that if you took a person who trends left but is not committed, and had them read some of my writings, then had them read some of yours, mine would be more persuasive in pulling the person our way. Not because mine are "better" in any sense, but because you can't expect people to move from 3 to 10 without any steps in between.
There are a lot of people who don't want to vote Dem but can't imagine themselves voting Republican (other than for a celebrity). To move them our way, we can offer them reason or bombs. I think my way is more effective but I don't presume to be all-knowing.
"I am NOT pursuaded to except the attempt at a self-fulfilling prophecy that we conservatives should all lie back and try to enjoy the incrementalism you insist must take place."
Somewhat of a mischaracterization. I did not "insist" anything. I didn't say you should "enjoy" anything. I discussed what I thought was your "all or nothing" philosophy earlier. Right now we've got "some" and are moving to "more." In my opinion, your call for an immediate "all" will result in "nothing." As I see it.
"What if those pioneering CA conservatives had resigned themselves to your point of view? I expect we wouldn't have even taken the Assembly in 1994 and Willie Brown would STILL be the Speaker to this very day!!! "
The 1994 takeover was not a Conservative revolution, at least in California. The Republicans eked out a narrow victory, led by a moderate governor. And before long the Dems were back in control with an iron grip.
Great post.
You must be making sense to generate such personal research!
Yes, because the Repubs were so giddy that Willie was finally gone, they acted like a pack of dogs that had been chasing cars for so long, they didn't know how to act once they caught one!!!
This is the disaster insurance the lib/dems depend on. Repubs stuggle so hard to win that they haven't boned up on how to govern and blow it after one short term!!! The MSM just love to facilitate this "end-around" as well!!!
There is one thing we can all be certain of... Whenever a Conservative wins ANYTHING political, "they" will become ruthless, relentless and remorseless in rubbing out the victory and ANY of it's effects, along with any records of it as quickly as possible!!!
They truly believe they rule by devine right!!!
