I re-read your statement and think that you have an interesting take, a take I have pondered.
The bottom line is that Cloward & Piven have won, in some ways. Kids are taught the CORRECT ANSWER (the one that gives them an ‘A’) is the Communist/Socialist answer. There are more takers than producers and the planned influx of the third world, both legal and illegal is gutting the social order of a once proud country.
If 50% of your populace does not pay into the system and the producers are shrinking and retiring, and their replacements are spoiled, weak, PC Greenies, the backbone has rotted, so to speak.
I often wondered about buying 20,000 acres up in Idaho or Montana and growing food and having a Conservative “refuge” for like-minded people, but I then think of Jim Jones/Ruby Ridge stuff and back off that idea. If I bug out of CA, it will be on 10 acres up in rural Oregon or suburban Idaho.
The hardest part to accept is that many nice and well-meaning people really believe the New York Times and NBC News, thinking it is rational, objective reporting. We here at FR know the painfully obvious omission, spin and utter lies they produce, but if you are on the teat, and Kate Couric tells you it’s OK and Obama is doing great, your business isn’t affected because you do not really drive the economy. The Public Unions are so self-centered they cannot see the fact that they are killing the very source of their outrageous salaries, perks, healthcare and pensions...
I want to make a difference and get the gist, but am unsure of how banding could work, logistically.
You raise the first most obvious points... That of the alteration of education. We as conservatives need to intentionally invade education, take it back from the liberals and set things right.
You don’t seem to understand... the left has arranged hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayer money to fund their debates and coordinate their propaganda machines, to fund thier assault on education and so forth. Conservatives have not a single, grassroots intentional effort to organize to counter it head on, from the people up. There’s always think tanks who publish in DC, get accolades from a few thinkers and yet, the public knows nothing of it.
This means starting a debate, learning from those who know, how to create an effective media, and launching said media. How to invade academia, and deliberately coordinating the effort to do just that. They do and have done it for decades... Now it’s our turn.
I said “serious” discussion, and I meant deadly serious.
