Re-read this one -- his is 100% correct:
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. The right to bear arms is the only battle they’re not losing in a rout, but I’m confident they will lose that too within a decade’s time.
President Trump's election is at best a stop-gap. If we can extend it to Pence we merely are putting off the inevitable until we start adopting the same attitude and tactics as Americas liberal enemy from within.
We didn’t lose those battles, because the conservative movement wasn’t really around then. This guy is full of shiat. The left won because they had no opposition at the time, now they do.
Also this “what is old is new again.”
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.
