The Left has followed the Gramscian model of seizing one by one all our institutions. Religion, education, government, heck, the family. The media is the glue that holds it all together (none of those institutions following a socialist model can stand on their own merits). Their incessant droning on of lies, distortions, fabrications and re-definitions have lulled our republic into a stupor both moral and intellectual.
We need to utilize a “come out from among them and be ye separate” approach, as Israel did in the Old Testament. We must create a successful and separate alternative to today’s media (one that won’t get gobbled up in the end like Fox ) and offer up a more accurate take on the world and its practices. We must provide educational solutions that ground our youth in the truth, in our history, in our nations true values. We must re-condition ourselves to think about the corrupting nature of everything the Left has to offer and withdraw and then learn to abstain. We must adopt a 60’s hippie approach to “life on the commune” and develop and support with our dollars only those entities that support our way of life. In short, we must provide the alternative, provide what we know to be effective when it comes to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” and compete with this in the marketplace of ideas. Right now, our side (and I include myself in this) is nothing more than dabblers. We taste a bit of this, we sample some of that, say no altogether to the other—always knowing that we don’t (and shouldn’t go too far with things) but ignoring to greater or lesser degree that no matter how much or how little we take, we are supporting the very institutional apparatus that is destroying us from within.
Massive undertaking—especially given it will need to take place in the context of the Left’s “sex and drugs and rock and roll”, government-dependent, big brother-control-freak-power-hungry approach to people’s lives.
Sorry for the double post. Not sure what happened.
