1. They are both rather small as a percentage but with control beyond their size.

   The Left dominates American culture via education and mass media.

2. Will the bickering between the conservatives and the libertarians make it impossible? Will the religious and the athiest wings of Free Republic dilute the power of the whole?

   WORLD Sept. 2, 2000: Remarkable Providences: Fear of the Lord…Rabbi Lapin's fearless statement makes sense: "Those of us who venerate freedom, be we Jewish or Christian, be we religious or secularized, have no option but to pray for the health of Christianity in America. No other group possesses both the faith and the numbers sufficient to hold back the ever-encroaching, sometimes sinister, power of the state."

3. Is it even possible for conservatives to make the sacrifices necessary to deliver if action is called for?

   We have to work and play and worry about our 401k. Not much energy or time left for anything else.

4. Just look at the list for which we could fight to "liberate" America, the issues where most Americans have one opinion but the left forces another direction:

   There are numerous conservative organizations, initiatives, and ideas. The means of transmitting those ideas to the general public is limited. As a result, prioritizing and implementing those initiatives are most difficult. The few ideas that eventually make it through the propaganda gauntlet, are highly compromised by the time they become policy.

5. With all due respect to President Bush (and a lot of respect is due!), his Presidency and the current Republican majority is not much better than the 1991 Iraqi cease fire.

   Given the decline in public morality and knowledge of self-government, Bush is the best you could have hoped for.

6. Can we deliver shock & awe to drive the left out of the political landscape for good?

W]e have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion....Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. John Adams

O]nly a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters. Benjamin Franklin

Your message would suggest that it is too late. However, I know how forcefully you argue here on FR, so I know you haven't given up all hope.

I agree with prayer.

Is there a way we can act to back up that prayer?

Shalom.
