NEOCON ALERT!
Kerry go 60 million votes. Hillary needs to sway very few others to win.
Unfortunately, even this kind of conspiracy exists on a small scale; but, more importantly, there is such a thing as a tacit conspiracy. This is de-centralized and often sub-concious, existing largely within the specific values and affinity networks of certain subcultures.
The institutional media culture, the "MSM," is the glue that holds it all together. The noted leftist Thomas Frank gave away the store a few years ago with his remarkable cultural history, The Conquest of Cool.
This documents exactly how, when, and why the media culture developed its slavish affinity for perceived radicalism. Media apologists will ask why the leaders of the institutional media, the most competitive and capitalistic industry in the world, would sit around plotting to destroy capitalism. The answer, as Frank reveals, is that they wouldn't but they might as well be, since it suits their short term goals to do so.
The bottom line: To the media cult, the world is a movie and the terrorists have the James Dean role. Back in the '80s, you probably recognized that gay rights would be a big issue because the media were giving some hints in that direction. The youth counter-culture had faded and they were looking for a new high-profile movement to cast in the role of rebel. Today, Islam has the starring role, with a 40 year accumulation of media sponsored co-stars in supporting roles.
Bill Kristol in his career has difused more conservative accuity than just about any political figure I know of. All this, from the vantage point of being the darling 'conservative' in the eyes of the elite media.
Whenever we needed a point man out there with clear vision to make a point, Kristol was there to short circuit the message.
Kristol, Hatch, Lott, McCain...
With friends like these...
I guess we were an odd pair but we became friends and in fact established an informal shooting club among grad students.
His Father was a well liked professor at the college where I got my undergraduate degree and a couple of other students told me his brother was a genuine anarchist.
One day we were discussing the possibility of leftwing conspiracies and he shocked me by agreeing. He then said they are basically "unorganized conspiracies", which sounds like a contradiction but I knew what he meant.
Me, I am beginning to think there really may be a real group sort of like a real "stonecutters" organization.
Hildebeast won't be able to win one red state, the unions are inceasingly not in the RATS pocket anymore, and minorities are increasingly catching on to the fact that the RATS have given them nothing but promises on the liberal plantation. Hillary won't be moving into the White House again in this lifetime.
We already sit through Diversity and Sexual Harassment training and AIDS/GLBT trainings. The commies are here and the conservatives do a lousy job of fighting them. In fact, some of the worst liberal nonsense comes out of our supposedly conservative administration.
Kiss the rings of your oppressors and they will smash you like an ant. That's what our "conservative" friends are learning. If we as a movement can't set basic boundaries against the left, which means clearly identifying who our enemy is, we will continue to lose the battle and be at the mercy of Democrat special interests and RINO'S.
"As in the case with her hubby, the hildebeast can only become prez if a third party draws off all the pubbie whiners as perot did. This may very well happen."
wrong text.
Whiners = conservatives.
