“We must show them that their best interests are served by individual liberty, responsibility, accountability and less government.”
Why? To what end?
This was a nice essay, but has it ever occurred to you that those who oppose us not only disagree with us, they hate us as well?
One of the major strategic mistakes we continue to make is to assume that by some combination of argument or packaging or persuasion, that we can convince the denizens of Sodom that our way is better. They aren’t buying what we’re selling. On Tuesday, we had a stark choice between moderation and radical socialism, between opportunity and a welfare check. The choice was clear and the majority chose radical socialism and a welfare check.
There is no combination of appeals to God, patriotism, nation, decency, logic, altruism, or self-interest that is going to convince people who think that they’re entitled to the fruits of other people’s labor that self-sufficiency is a better path. They. Aren’t. Interested.
At a certain point, Lot had to make the decision: to stay in Sodom and take the consequences, or to follow God and leave Sodom to it’s fate.
There is a group that hate us and all we stand for. Obama knows what he is doing, All those in that poster above in my thread about Marxism are part of that machine.
But there are a lot of Americans who vote who have been taken in...and in order to move forward short of a total train wreck, which I pray we can avoid...but also know it may be too late...we have to educate those people so they understand their true best interst and the ways they are being used. Then they will change their mindset and vote for what is in their best interest. That’s why.
I am not ready to consign 60+ million Americans who voted against the proper principles to hell and view them as mortal enemies.
Those others? Absolutely...and there may not be tens of miliions of them, buth there are a lot of them. Probably number in the high hundreds thousands as a minimum...maybe a million or two at this point.
But they are using the others and we can and should try and reach them. In fact, if we want to defeat them at the ballot box, and, God willing, I still believe we can, we are going to have to find a way to eduate them.
