"I may not be a professor of “symbology,” but I have taught at Harvard and studied religious symbolism. So I feel in a particularly strong position to reveal the entirely unsecret conspiracy against patriotism, tradition, and religion hiding in plain sight on our movie and television screens, in our universities, and on the pages of the mainstream press. Conservatives have forgotten just how precarious our position is. One cable news channel, talk radio, and the blogosphere do not an invincible army make. It only seems that way because we also have nominal control of the reigns of power. But lose our foothold in government, and conservatives are up a creek. The other side controls the levers of cultural power in this country, and we are the enemy in their eyes (and on their screens).
Conservatives need to face the fact that our position in this culture is genuinely precarious. If we lose our hold on power, we’ll scream bloody murder on our outlets at everything the other side does. Yet those screams may only confirm our helplessness. The deep cultural dimension of our political battles makes an ordinary transfer of political power far more consequential than it was in the days when America had a bipartisan foreign policy and a broad cultural consensus. We can dream about forcing Republicans to the right and then riding back into power two years later, but one big loss could easily turn conservatives back into a marginal cultural force for some time.
Why have Democrats been so angry? It’s because their taken-for-granted cultural superiority has been called into question by 9/11, the return of patriotism, a tough foreign policy, and the open defense of the sort of traditional values they thought were on the way out. Republican victories have punctured the cultural left’s sense of the historical inevitability of their triumph, and that is at the root of their rage. By controlling the political agenda, conservatives control the cultural agenda as well (or at least a large part of it). But the truth is, other than the government, the left is still in control of our critical cultural institutions. Should the left recapture the government as well, it may well succeed in pushing traditionalists aside in the culture at large." -Stanley Kurtz at The NRO Corner

[Qx commentary: I'd say--would definitely turn conservatives back into a marginal cultural force for the forseeable future. Think about it. It is CERTAIN--100% CERTAIN that the DIMRATS are up to the tops of their pointed heads in bed, in the swamp, in universities, in the media--every where--with the NWO Marxists/ Machiavellian/ tyrannical/ One World Government globalists. Just watch what their stands have been on every major issue the last umpteen years--e.g. immigration, the wall, national ID's etc.
Sure, it's likely a hideous number of RINO's are also complicit with such evil folks and plans--though OVERTLY to a LESSER degree. And LESS in bed with EVIL is BETTER! and in this case, often enough, MUCH better.
Obviously, to me, the old truism exists in this context. Evil individuals are essentially extremely selfish. They would slit their grandmother's throat for an advantage. They are, to some degree, competing with each other to be king of the evil hill--at least as high as they can claw and grasp up the world government food chain.
Therefore, THEY want to be in overt political power when the world government forces it's way overtly on the world stage. They want to get all THOSE political plums, slots, power positions; !CONTROL! POSITIONS; PERKS. This is one of SHRILLERY'S main driving forces. I figure she's AT LEAST DETERMINED to become QUEEN OF NORTHAM.
If conservatives loosen their very tenuous grip on any levels of power, ANY SPHERES OF POWER even slightly--the DIMRATS and their complicit demonic forces (yes, literally), will swoop in with all the force and energy at their disposal TO TAKE THOSE LEVELS AND SPHERES OF POWER OVER UNTIL THE WORLD DICTATOR PARCELS THEM OUT DIFFERENTLY AFTER HE TAKES OVERT WORLD CONTROL.
I kid you not. This is just logical. This is a minimal logical sorting through of the current USA/global political stage. It should not even be a remotely doubtful conclusion of anyone informed and logical enough to view the whole scene with a very reality based perspective. This has nothing to do with conspiracy THEORY. This is just a minimal facing of THE FACTS regarding the forces of global power manipulation and spheres of political, economic, media, cultural power as they really are at present--and particularly as they are certainly to most likely to be in terms of trend lines for the next several to many years.
I say again, we, as a people, a culture, as individuals who care about our nation, ourselves and our family and loved ones--we canNOT AFFORD to loosen our rather tenuous grip on any levels or spheres of power politically in 2006 and in 2008.
Sadly, that means we cannot trade in a RINO for a DIMRAT in any race without super huge destructive risk. Those are risks we simply cannot afford at this time.]

They did not just think those values were on the way out--they have been busy engineering the exit of such values for decades. THEY HAVE PUT IN PLACE THE JUDGES WHICH HAVE REMOVED SUCH VALUES FROM THE PUBLIC SQUARE OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN FOR DECADES. THEY have put in place the legislators, lawyers, ACLU, movies, professors, media leaders and media organizations which have been working overtime to remove such values from culturally high ranked positions--they've been at it INCREASINGLY SUCCESSFULLY FOR DECADES.
At this time, they are salivating and getting erections and orgasms over the close at hand prospect that their values will be commanded from the top of a tyrannical globalist government. They can't wait. They are prone to rushing things too fast--so fast that people notice and start to rebel. Regardless--they are champing at the bit and ruthless TO FINISH THAT TASK AT ALL COSTS ASAP.
That is NOT THE TIME to give them a micrometer. Give them a micrometer and they'll take a kilometer. We canNOT afford that.

ABSOLUTELY. And their greed, lust for power and rage are all escalating exponentially. The more they get the more they want. The more they are hindered, the more they want sooner. That we cannot change EXCEPT BY CONTROLLING THE REINS OF POWER IN AS MANY WAYS AND PLACES AS LONG AS WE CAN.
By controlling the political agenda, conservatives control the cultural agenda as well (or at least a large part of it).

ABSOLUTELY. And 1/3 to 2/3 of the world's population WOULD NEVER EVER AGAIN SEE IN THEIR LIFETIMES A FREE REPUBLIC. They would not even SEE one, much less live in one--becuase they will have been killed by the tyrannical world government and the chaotic, warmongering forces it turns loose upon the world.
We canNOT afford that.
Yes, students of Biblical prophecy can rightly say that some variation on that theme IS inevitable. HOWEVER, WE DO NOT HAVE TO BE COMPLICIT TOWARD SUCH AND WE DO NOT HAVE TO GREASE THE SKIDS AND HASTEN THAT DAY. We will be held accountable for choosing to do and act toward the opposite on the side of God, good and right.
