I disagree with this theory. For most of this country's existence, the sentiments expressed in that post were perfectly reasonable.
No, the reason we keep losing elections (apart from the fraud) is the fact that the public has been drastically misled by people whom they do not realize have an agenda.
Everything you see and hear on television or in the movies is filtered through Liberal Democrat Union members with an agenda. They promote ideas they like (Gay everything!) and they oppose ideas they don't like. (constraints on abortion.)
They cover up facts about their candidates (Obama knew and worked with Bill Ayers for more than a Decade) and they make up allegations about their opponents. (She can see Russia from her house.)
The reason we lose elections is because the American public has been deliberately misinformed and misled by people whom they turn to for news and entertainment.
When you suggest that we lose because our opinions are too extreme, you neglect to note that we have not changed our opinions. They are the same as they were a hundred years ago, and this notion that fundamental truths must give way to whatever happens to be popular nowadays is very foolish advice. No, there is nothing wrong with our opinions, what is wrong is that society has been made stupider by government run school systems, and it has been misinformed by Liberal run News and Entertainment systems.
The solution is to address the actual problem; Liberal control of News and Entertainment.
We need to destroy their monopoly.
Nothing I disagree with in your post. Totally with you.
While everything you say is true, it can't be accomplished in time for the next couple of elections. So for people to think they can "teach the GOP a lesson" by staying home and not voting, they are math-impaired, to say the least. Our country is almost completely taken over by an interlocking web of nefarious leftist plans that they have frog-marched through every institution of society since 1948. There is NO TIME LEFT to accomplish secondary goals like influencing the party system by not voting.
We are in a grave, grave crisis in which every vote against the outright evil of the DEMOCRAT/PROGRESSIVE/SOCIALIST POWER STRUCTURE is greatly needed, even if the opponent is insufficiently conservative. The elections of 2014 and 2016 are two battles in which not enough ammunition is better than none.
How? Conservatives appear unwilling to enter the fields and major in the subjects that would facilitate this. Instead they just mock those fields and majors while patting themselves on the back for starting their own businesses or "having a real job".
62 was well put and well said...kudos to you
That's true. I did my part in 1999 by swithing off the TV for the last time. That is hardly going to save the world though and the media and the socialists and atheists support each other and are a billion times more powerful than I am.
