I did not say I believed that....I said many people do (perhaps a significant majority of Americans do).
That perception will be a daunting task to overcome indeed.
It will take educating the public.
Unfortunately the education establishment is against us.
I think Newt Gingrich gave us an example of how to educate the public when he gave his one minute and special order speeches that were televised on CSPAN in the 80s and 90s.
In those early years CSAP permitted conservatives to bypass the conventional media and reach the political public in a new way without the filter of the Leftist Media Complex.
We need to find a way to reach the young through the new media of the internet in a way that will inspire the young to learn and get involved.
