Just because I fight, however, doesn't mean that I don't have a brain to see the writing on the wall. As I originally asked, if you have a logical reason to prove my assertion wrong, why don't you present it? I don't mean a bunch of rah-rah macho sounding crap that's as worthless as teats on a boar hog; I mean a bona fide reason to think that things are going to get better instead of worse.

I can see no practical purpose to saying "there is no logical reason I can win" before going into a fight. WHo cares.
Now that I have better explained my distain for defeatist attitudes, I will give you a logical reason why you should have hope.
In my opinion the fight we are engaged in has two fronts. There is a cultural front and a political front. The mistake of the conservative movement has been to fight almost exclusively on the political front, while the culture rots beneath us. The truth is that politics follow culture, not the other way around.
The reason why the culture is rotting beneath us is because the left has controlled for decades the institutions that shape our culture. Put simply, our current state of cultural decay has been engineered. If it can be engineered it can be re-engineered.
In preceding centuries cultures developed slowly through the accumulated knowledge of generation after generation. Modern technology has allowed information to pass so much faster and so much easier that the left's assault basically destroyed in one generation, what took centuries to cultivate.
So what gives me hope, is the idea that just as the cultural factories of media, education, and entertainment have been hijacked, they also can be rehijacked. How is the important question. And I think it is more important and productive than asking how we can possibly win.
Can you give me a logical reason why we can't do that?
