Well, at this point we have only two requirements:
1. Win the election.
2. Do the job.
We can’t do 2 unless we do 1 first.
Sure, this is childish. But the one or two months between the end of the conventions and Election Day are not enough to re-educate a whole country.
That requires taking back the government and gradually rebuilding the culture—a matter of decades, not months.
Are we introducing these kindergarten stupidities into the news cycles? Of course not. They have been there since the start of the Countercultural Revolution in 1968, and steadily reinforced as the left has seized the levers of power, especially in our schools, colleges, and media.
You don’t undo that by wishing it gone. First you have to take back the levers of power and start appointing decent, sensible people to the judiciary . . . and ultimately to the proper education of our children. Getting someone like Sarah Palin into office, as a wonderful example of the culture as it should be, is a great first step.
Mostly what the current McCain ads are doing is simply to show Obama, the Democrats, and the media FOR WHAT THEY ARE.
This is perfectly illustrated in Norm Coleman’s recent ad against Al Franken. In one sense, it is trivial in stupid. But what it DOES do is throw the Democrats’ inanity and stupidity and boorishness back in their faces, for everyone to see:

What could be a more effective way of beginning to turn the culture back toward traditional values? What better than to have someone stand up and say, “The Emperor is naked!”
The emperor is naked. Sarah Palin, by advocating a position that puts state prerogatives ahead of the unalienable right to life, has proven not to be pro-life, in fact. Just exactly like John McCain, who, by the way, is the one running for President of the United States.

What would result from removing all nudity and filthy language from TV. If your screen showed the American flag when you first turned on the TV would people still watch TV?
Well said, Cicero!
Thank you.
