But it appears to me that they are playing a tag team game. By that I mean their supporters who are in all of the government sponsored entities like our colleges, as well as medical and science endeavors continuously produce papers that the liberal media distributes and then the liberal politicians pick them up for talking points and beat the drums in unison like a high school marching band. They have the ability to do this on every single sociopolitical issue and they politicize everything imaginable.
Over the years, they have led on these issues and have made them part of the social-political landscape.
Nobody ever looks under the sheets to examine the sources of these movements but they are created by the libs, for the libs to capture the attention of the ignorant masses and subsequently they appear to be in total control of them leaving the republican-conservatives with the only choice available to them which is to join the party or try to deny the libs a political victory.
So the reality is that they are in charge of the political narrative, day in, day out, 24/7/365.
New ideas? Yes.....I suppose they are, but these ideas are not ideas to make government better, more efficient, or leaner. They are ideas that lead to continuous expansion, control, with the promises of fairness, free stuff, and particularly with women, a easier life style with fewer decisions.
So all the ideas I see, are based on social needs, not pragmatism or thrift. They come right out of what I call the “Star Trek Bible”. The goal being a society free of encumbrances like decisions about food, shelter, money.
Are these new ideas? No.....
But they are most certainly based upon fiction, and fit perfectly into the pie in the sky narrative that has been surreptitiously pumped into the brains of even the conservatives as many threads and comments on this very forum have long indicated.
Free range chickens, anti- GMO beliefs, health foods, anti- military draft, global warming, isolationism based geopolitical thinking, evil bankers, evil big corporations, detrimental commentary against republican leadership based on single issues like Romney and health care, Cruise and amnesty...the list is huge...and all of it can be sourced to the left and their supportive public agencies like the press, higher learning, Hollywood, The CDC, NASA..........
So yeah.....they are winning the war and we are just twiddling with a single issue here and there while our base is corrupted with constant leftist baloney that is repeated endlessly in a giant communications loop.
IMO, you can't fix this. It has to be allowed to destroy it's self under it's own weight, and that is happening but it takes time.
In the interim, all we can do is carry on and try to be there to pick up the pieces. To do that we have to survive it..intact and with our prodigy poised to take the helm of conservatism.
That is what I am about, and I think others in the leadership of the movement are doing likewise. I point you to Rush Limbaugh's efforts with children as a good example.
Politically all we can do is slow this down a bit, but I debate myself often if that is wise to do. However I always conclude that we have to try regardless..
I know they know how to bang a drum. I know they march lockstep in noisy parades...flags flying - noisy empty spectacles... My question is WHAT IDEAS DO THEY HAVE THAT ARE LESS THAN 30 YEARS OLD?
