This is where the Left has conservatives at a disadvantage. Personally, I think it has to do with the fact libs want to change the world and that means advancing their agenda. So its no surprise they head for the schools, courts and news bureaus to do just that. What we can we do about it? Precious little since we only want to preserve traditional values and keep government out of our lives as far possible. Unlike the Left, we are not interested in change merely for the sake of change.

We have something on our side which negates any advantage the left may have or ever hope to obtain — it’s a scale-tipper known as human nature.

What a great article. It’s so refreshing to see someone who actually gets this dynamic.

Now keep this in mind when you hear guys like Ried demand Bush appoint a moderate. The left wouldn’t appoint a moderate to dog catcher, let alone a court or Department of Justice position.

If the person wouldn’t succumb to the leftist MO, the dems wouldn’t have a thing to do with them.

“Merely teaching is as unimportant to most left-wing teachers and professors as is mere reporting of the news for left-wing journalists or mere rendering of justice to most liberal judges. They regard their professions not as ends but as means — to higher, leftist ends.”

Notice these are the 3 areas that had the least amount of public scrutiny as teachers and judges were “presumed” to do what was best and “media” hides behind the constitution.

Notice also that these 3 institutions are able to “make changes” in their rulings, teachings, and reportings with nothing to be done until after the fact.

The left has pushed all the rules, all the boundaries, all the common understandings....for them, everything is "political" and politics is unlimited warfare.

Everything else must give way in support of their war on the society that they have decided is profoundly corrupt and unjust. The law is to be twisted and used, continuous confrontation is the order of the day, academia and education, generally, are not intellectual endeavors but tools to be reshaped and used to bludgeon the political opposition.

This is a war. I believe it will be resolved by the usually bloody means.

Then the solution is the conservatives should do so too to counter unhealthy liberal values, brainwashing children, and spread the values of conservative values, and honor to our traditions.

Calm down. It’s politics as usual.

We will ultimately honor our traditions when we are forced to water the tree of liberty.

Even from the standpoint of history, are you in denial.

Completely wrong; the goal of the left is to win the last election, i.e, once the levers are in place no further elections that are not foreordained will be allowed. Hugo Chavez is both hero and role model, but the left has absorbed the lessons of seizing and holding power of all the leading totalitarians throughout history. Underestimate them at your, and our, peril. At least Eastern Europe, for example, had the US to fight the Cold War for them; if the US is enslaved - and make no mistake, slavery is the inevitable result wherever the left is triumpahnt - who will fight for the freedom of the US? We are the last, best hope for the world.

The left’s anthem of ‘68 (Graham Nash and CSN) summarizes the outlook, that the left nobly stands for “justice” and so anything at all done in its name will be justified, without regard to law or constitution or political process:

We can change the world rearrange the world
It’s dying - if you believe in justice
Dying - and if you believe in freedom
Dying - let a man live his own life
Dying - rules and regulations, who needs them open up the door

For over 40 years our children in American colleges and universities have been indoctrinated in Communist propaganda while we have been picking up the tab.

Lenin, Marx & Stalin must be grinning in their graves.

LOL! Come on, think about it.

This has gone on since the Garden of Eden, and will never be 'resolved'. It will only ebb and flow.
