Look at the list you put together there. Some of the things don't even belong there, and most of the others are not symptoms of conservatives "losing" at all. Instead, they're symptoms of a problem that this guy personifies perfectly: misplaced faith in institutions.
We've gone through variations of this discussion a number of times on Free Republic about some of the topics on that list, and I still go back to what I've posted here many times. I mean, really ... who gives a sh!t about the Boy Scouts? Raise your own damn kids and stay the hell away from formal organizations like that. It's been nothing more than a business enterprise -- and a half-assed one at that -- for years ... and its demise is a symptom of how little ANYONE (conservatives and liberals alike) even care about it anymore.
And the military? Can you name any truly conservative principle that allows for a massive standing military force whose sole purpose is to serve as a mercenary force for global corporations and foreign governments? Who gives a sh!t if the thing is filled with flaming homosexuals and assortments of other stunted misfits?
And universities?! LMAO. I won't even waste my time with them.
I don't see conservatives "losing" in these battles. In fact, I see them as valuable lessons for conservatives about which battles are even worth fighting at all ... and which institutions really ought to mean anything to them at all.
We got an interesting -- even amusing -- glimpse of the future just in the last few days, in the diplomatic dispute between Canada and Saudi Arabia. Now there's an interesting clash that conservatives will happily watch from the sidelines: radical Islam vs. radical secularism ... two dysfunctional cultures that have nothing to offer anyone with half a brain and an ounce of common sense.
It's a function of urbanization first and foremost. It's probably been the single biggest factor in the demise of every civilization in human history.
They are fighting the good fight.
“RATs are the ones losing!”
No they’re not. They’re losing somewhat at the ballot box but winning like crazy in the courts. Can you really dispute this?
“Conservatives have lost on every battlefront: free speech, the military, the universities, marriage, nuclear family, child education, the media, the government, Boy Scouts, business, law and justice, Christianity, patriarchy, immigration, the welfare state, and capitalism.”
His message might be too right-wing for FR.
Conservatism is no longer the answer. There is little left to conserve. We either go on the offensive against the Left, or we will be defeated.
The winning post.
last few years with the alt right’s astonishing rise and then disastrous defeat in Charlottesville at the hands of their more capable enemies.
this fool doesn’t even know that was a staged event? And he is here lecturing us that we are a bunch of losers?
This fool’s blog is nothing but pick up artist and gaming women bullshiat. Why is this crap here?
The good news is that even the courts are changing, with new Trump appointments.
One is the most profitable restaurant chains in the country, and who are the Dixie Chicks?
Even I question this writer’s opinions.
President Trump is in the process of getting the scum judges out of the courts. It’s not going to happen overnight. Negativity isn’t going to fix anything.
It’s going to take all of us united to help fix the mess we’re in and that starts at the ballot box by getting everyone out to vote and to expose the VOTER FRAUD and demand prosecution and prison time for those proven guilty. Voter fraud is the life blood of the Left along with “their” illegals.
One just opened up not far from where I live.
and we've been compromising in the "wrong" direction ever since......
see my tagline
The closest one to me is about 20 miles away, I live in a rural part of New Jersey, I consider it a good thing or I would eat there just about every day
According to this writer’s definition I’m not really a Conservative. And BTW, neither is Donald Trump. Neither of us has much interest in “holding the line” against the barbarians at the gate but instead want to take every opportunity too attack and leave their rotting corpses figuratively (for now) strewn across ground that “Conservatives” like Bill Kristol, George Will, and the gang barricaded in the top floor of the National Review building gave up, bowing and scraping as they retreated. The title “Libertarian” carries its own smelly baggage of open borders and tolerance of what should be intolerable, so personally I’m bereft of a precise moniker to define myself. I guess “Patriot” or “American” might have to do.
Forgive me for being “negative”. Didn’t mean to come off with bad vibes. I thought I was being realistic. I couldn’t help but notice you didn’t attempt to dispute the long list of issues on which we have lost over the past few years. I’m not suggesting fixing anything; I’m simply stating the indisputable fact that we have lost on those issues. I’m not sure when we started discussing voter fraud. You confuse me.
I was stating that it is up to “us” to demand that the areas that we’ve lost ground be fixed and voter fraud, IMO, is a primary reason that so many political extremist hacks are in office. These Liberal hacks are responsible for the laundry list of areas of our society where we’ve lost ground.
I spoke out in the 1980’s for over eight years about the Liberal brainwashing in the public schools. I helped one of President Reagan’s subcommittees that issued the report “A Nation At Risk.”
The Liberal airheads marching in the streets and causing sedition were brainwashed with Liberal propaganda from kindergarten through college graduation. Therein lies many answers as to why we lost generations of Americans.
Watch the YouTubes of “The Children’s Story” written by James Clavell and you will see how easy it is to brainwash children in school!
bump for later
Sorry, I don’t understand you. Can you explain?
