Yeah, unfortunately you’re probably right.
One thing about all this is that it really highlights the power of good oratory. A good speech can move mountains in public opinion. I read a biography recently of William Wilberforce and was impressed that it was basically his speeches before parliament that drove England to abolish slavery. It’s too bad our side doesn’t have any great speakers on the scene these days, someone who could heave the mountain back at Obama. It makes you realize how good we had it when Reagan was president. Thankfully we do have Rush, but of course he doesn’t speak to the whole public.
Check Peggy Noonan’s comments on tv this morning. Confirms exactly what I said. Like Johnny Cash, he “walked the line.”
This is something that demands consistency, dedication, and a relentless energy, which our side seems to lack.
