Yes, but what I meant to say was that: we should get theatrical, in a clever way, of course. I don’t know what that looks like right now. I mean, theater is adult too (not to be confused with adult theater). I have a small network of artists and comedians who think the way we do. It’s time to put them to work. But we do need funding. If Acorn can get money, we should too....
Yeah, I understood that, it's just that both sides are driven by a whole different set of, I dunno, values I suppose. It would appear their deepest need/desire whatever, is to "buck" the system, to "do their own thang", much like adolescents. Given that this yields an almost entirely emotionally charged set of "values", they are emotionally attached to them. Their deep-seated need, if you will, is to "change" the system consequently they are driven to "sell" their values, or more accurately, lack of values. If it feels good, do it.
Conservatives on the other hand seem to arrive at their closely held values through a more rational, reasoned approach. Our values make sense to us because we possibly know enough about human nature to understand, instinctively maybe, what works for the stability and continuity of the culture long term. If we expect most people to go through the same thought processes, we apparently don't see the need in "selling" our vision.
Whew, all that to say I absolutely agree with your premise that entertainment mixed in with the "lesson plan" is probably the only thing that might reach the uncommitted "soft" conservatives in particular. I said as much several days ago on a Glenn Beck thread. HE in fact said as much on O'Reilly's show one evening, "When the lights come on, it's showtime"! Heh, the short answer is, I agree. ;^)
Well we could do a history lesson like the first group dressed as revolutionary soldiers and the second as the Union soldiers...the republican party was born from the anti slavery movement don’t forget. Lots of stuff to pull from history to use. :)
