If as you say "Liberals... have taken over the churches, schools, universities, the newspapers, public radio, television, virtually all of our eleemosynary institutions, federal and state bureaucracies, unions, and generally everything politically correct" how is it possible for conservatives to win? Is conservatism just a futile rearguard action in the face of overwhelming odds? If America is center right what sustains it? Homeschooling? I'm hard pressed to answer the last question. I agree that "The problem is not in the stars, Horatio, but in ourselves."
Part of the problem is the university where "there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so" or where relativism is used as a convenient tool to scoop out the capitalistic residue in student's soul and have it replaced with socialist thought and activism. The university is like the magic mountain where the Pied Piper, Mr. Obama, keeps the children (the potential DemocRats) that he has stolen the village of Hamelin. (Is Hamelin also a hamlet and is Obama a Hamlet or just a ham?) Excuse my excessive metaphors and wondering thoughts, but I think what is needed is a group of cultural warriors to purge the spirit of the magic crone that lives in the heart of the university. The university has been feminized, it has become pagan, and men have become "sensitive" and yet are willing to commit the greatest violence and most barbarous acts: killing helpless babies (abortions). There is a spell cast on people's minds that removes restraint, moderation or any conformity to God's law or Natural law. People have lost their way; they have become beasts (again think of the Pied Piper and his job with rats). A great movie that reflects some of these themes is called The 13th Warrior with Antonio Banderas and Omar Sharif. This movie kind of encapsulates it for me -- humans becoming beasts, falling away from their divine nature. I see something heroic and redeeming in this movie though I doubt it was ever intended to be use as a modern metaphor, especially in regards to the university. It is also like The Magnificent Seven (if you like older westerns).
According to Aristotle, if you don't conform to societys moral dictates and rules, if you are outside of society, you are either a God or a Beast. That is what the Democrats aspire to and it makes no difference if they are Gods or Beasts. Christianity and its moral authority is a joke to these Democrat socialists. If "God is dead," as Nietzsche famously states, then Dostoevsky finishes the thought with "all is permitted." That is Liberalism in a nutshell all is permitted -- bad dreams and all. Liberalism will change the face of American culture and its institutions into something wicked and monstrous. I wish we could say to the socialists, the human Gods, the social engineers that want to remake the world into their vision of Eden: "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." But it would make no difference in the future. We would be talking to ourselves about something our education tells us doesn't exist.
We are in a place in America today in which virtually every institution has been co-opted by the left. The infiltration is broad and deep and not one major institution has escaped. Our great universities, our teaching down through kindergarten, our great charitable foundations, our courts and the guilds associated with the courts such as the American Bar Association, the establishment churches, like the United Church of Christ, the Girl Scouts, the League of Women Voters, Hollywood, the publishing industry, the advertising industry. This list is by no means complete and it is growing daily under the predacious appetite of the Obama administration which has swallowed whole our industries such as automobile, insurance, banking.
The administration marches from industry to industry and from conquest to conquest in a series of usurpations and intimidations which have effectively seized control and sometimes ownership of America's great industries. We have seen corruption in America before on a national scale in the administrations of Grant and Harding. We have even seen usurpations and intimidations and thuggery in America before but isolated to a local scale in places like Chicago and not federalized nationwide. I think the problem goes back to even before the Alinsky school to The Frankfurt School which was the precursor to the cultural subversion which has come to America and which found expression in the Alinsky school and political consummation in the election of Barack Obama. It is not by accident that all these institutions have fallen into the hands of the left. The left has generated a new eschatology, a whole new way of thinking, which rejects the logic and and culture that was the common or majority experience in America at least through the Eisenhower administration.
The Frankfurt school was explicitly created to undermine those institutions which tended to hinder the sought after triumph of communism. These included the nation state, the church, the family, and the "liberal" tradition in education. So they devised means to undermine patriotism and combine that with wholesale immigration as just a couple of methods of undermining the nation state. They assaulted the churches and made expressions of Christianity in the public square illegal. To undermine the family, they belittled the father labeling him "authoritarian," derided paternalism, and encouraged abortion. They have had unimagined success in undermining our school system from kindergarten to postgraduate work. But these instances are but merely the symptoms and the venues of the dirty work.
The main problem that comes out of The Frankfurt School is that it changes the way we think. If one legitimatizes relativism then one begins to talk about George Bush as the moral equivalent of Hitler. If one says that there is no such thing as historical reality, one has destroyed the underpinnings of civilization. If one espouses and sells a "critical theory" one has made all other forms of analysis except downright cynicism look naïve and unworthy. Describing the methodology by which the The Frankfurt School "deconstructed" our epistemology is truly frightening.
The media behaves the way it does because that's the way it thinks and it thinks that way because that is the way it has been brought up. And all of this goes back To the Frankfurt School.
We are at a crisis in the moment because of the person of Barack Obama. We must bend every effort to prevent him from achieving the ultimate victory sought by The Frankfurt School and its disciples, Saul Alinsky, William Ayers, and the rest. But if we survive this crisis we must then as patriotic conservatives undertake the restoration of "liberal" common sense and biblical morality (but not necessarily religiosity) to our culture. That means we have to change the way people think, the way they see the world, their whole value system. That is what has been done to us and if we do not undo it we will always be one election away from the next Barack Obama.
