The word “gay” was hijacked by a special interest group a few decades ago.
Now the word “teabag” has become unmentionable.
Why?
Let us not give certain people power over our use of language.
Let us mock anyone who wants to use the new meaning of a perfectly good English word.
All of the pop culture outlets that you mention have been totally consumed by leftists. That is a fact. We will not attract the twenty-somethings through pop media. That is a fact.
The majority of academia and the government school system has a serious leftist bent - which started before Bill Ayres really got going. It is wishful thinking that conservatism will make inroads in Hollywood or the general campus.
The under thirty crowd start to become aware of the conservative message when they start getting paychecks that have about a third of their gross pay withheld. What is said on South Park or the Daily Show is immaterial to life’s reality.
I would love to say that our message of “Liberty is Cool” is a message that sells, but we are up against a torrent of “America is an oppressor nation, who even hate polar bears” messages.
It is a struggle to get the truth out. I haven’t given up, and I hope you don’t.
No sir I have not, in fact it's the point of my argument from a PR and image perspective that this is a way in which I fight.
My argument is in trying to convince some of my fellow freepers of the importance of this and to try to suggest ways to get that fight back out there in the media/culture war. I didn't write the current rules of propaganda warfare. Goebbles, Alinsky, Stalin, and Castro did.
But we know how it's being fought. Though the left has the advantage of being entrenched, there are ways to fight entrenched enemies. It just must be tried, and tried again, and again. Rule #1 though, is don't give them anything to hit you with. Which is something we all agree on. It's a fledgling movement and they have to get up to pro real quick.
