Absolutely right. Being right is not enough if we don’t fight to fix what’s wrong.

We need our smartest conservatives thinking about how can we create conservative schools, how can we make conservative movies, how can we start airlines that won’t demand proof of vaccination?.....etc, etc, etc.....Not whining. Acting.

Practically speaking, it’s utterly irrelevant why the left does what it does. The only thing that matters is: What are we going to do about it?

This is a very deep truth - but one which can be very hard for Conservatives (who implicitly reject a "malignant universe" outlook) to accept.

Regards,

I could not disagree more, it is vitally important to our survival that we fully understand why the left does what it does which is really another way of asking, why does the left think the way it does?

Those of us on this forum who for years have been shouting dire warnings about the effects across the whole of our culture, especially education, of The Frankfurt School's Marxist ideology know that left-wing action emanates from left-wing ideology. If you want to defeat left-wing action you have to know their motivation.

Know thy enemy, know thyself,Sun Tzu, The Art of War

It heartens us that others such as Mark Levin are joining in the exposure of The Frankfurt School in his new book, American Capitalism. I understand that he also couples his exposure of neo-Marxism with a chapter for action.

Thus the author of this article should be pleased that the call to action is made but it can only be effective if it is intelligently directed and that requires that we understand the enemy and its seductive ideology.

I get “I don’t understand, what are they thinking”? from a friend of mine all the time. As if they are of sound mind and body. It comes down to we the people literally, there is no knight in shining armor coming to save us, the knight in shining armor IS US.

Yeah... me too.

One little catch.

What are we going to do about it...

I agree that this is a very deep truth and Conservatives do have trouble accepting this truth. They don’t “get it”.

If you want to know the Left, DO NOT chase each “issue” like a dog chasing its tail, they can screw any issue faster than you can process “issues”. They LIVE by, “The issue is NEVER the issue, the ISSUE is the Revolution”...

What is their doctrine, their reason to exist? If you want to know where the Left will (has) attempted to destroy America you have to look no further than what God has ordained. They exclusively attack the list of things God has ordained.

Next time you are thinking about one of their freedom and life negating policies, preface it with the phrase, “Hath God said”...

They cannot deviate from this reality because they are COMPLETELY NOT self aware. This is because, unlike the founding fathers, they COMPLETELY reject God, which ultimately is the only relationship that endures.

Bad news? Yes, Conservatives (and many in church) don’t get it because their fight (in Amarica) is to “ get back to normal” where their disposible income spent at stores flooded with products made elsewhere cause them to contextualize the problem as an annoyance to living the old “normal”.

Like the first Bunker Hill “moment” we only survive by the Grace and Mercy of God. Stand on what he ordained and you have a chance of meeting and blocking every attack on Freedom.

How can anyone not understand what motivates the Left?

You cannot be serious.

Do not mistake the inaction by our side with not understanding the enemy.

> ...crushing dissent...

Hmmm... freerepublic.com and townhall.com still exist do they not? Last I heard the 5 most popular Youtube pages were held by conservatives (Ben Shapiro et al).

Believing that your opinion is not sufficiently popular is not the same as repression. Why do we have to have this apocalyptic tone?

> Why does Facebook and Twitter censor free speech?

This is a conservative victory, not a defeat. For decades conservative have argued for the primacy of business interests (freely made transactions between free people, remember?) while undermining government’s anti-trust enforcement. Now here we are. Facebook and Twitter are free to run their businesses as they see fit and if you don’t like it you are free not to patronize them.

It really confounds me how often the glass being half full is mistaken for the glass being half empty.

Is that you, Paul Begala? I can sniff out a troll a mile away.

Facebook and Twitter have become the defacto enforcers of the DNC. They are collaborators with the CCP and Deep State. That is not what’s called a “private” business. They are unregistered lobbyist.

I love this article. It’s because there are too many new posts here pointing out too many outrageous things going on but no solutions. 2 to one recall loss and people want to bring up fraud? Fight mail in balloting and the ringos. There are primaries if only there are challengers. I could go on.

Too hard. Many red states should just secede and form a new nation not aligned with the coastal DC-NY-LA axis of evil.

That would work for me. Could a working agreement like the old Czechoslovakia work? What about the Articles of Confederation? Leftism should be outlawed. Leftists would have the option of moving to blue states.

Next-call for Quebec separation. That would give us the Canada’s west but first things first.

As long as we keep in mind that the left and the deep state will infiltrate and try to sabotage those efforts. There's no doubt whatsoever that a number of the participants in those new forums are "FBI informants" and leftists promoting illegal acts and violence. That is their job, even if they have to do it themselves, then use those illegal acts to justify further infiltration and provocation.

The enemy is not going to stand still. Even Facebook themselves will do it in order to marginalize and shut down the competition.

Wouldn’t quicker results come from a massive endowment to conservative universities such as Hillsdale? The infrastructure is already in place.

“ it is vitally important to our survival that we fully understand why the left does what it does which is really another way of asking, why does the left think the way it does?”

The only thing that’s vital to our survival is recognizing the truth of my tagline. And then acting on that truth.

You cannot be serious.

Clearly, you are the one who is unserious. Conservatives have contested countless issues with leftists and lost virtually every one as we watched the left shape all the issues, dominate our educational system, structure the media to their advantage, conquer the courts, steal our vocabulary and generally dominate discourse.

Let's keep doing it your way, exulting in our own ignorance even as we lose every institution.
