We lost the culture wars because we are an all or nothing philopshy.
The left is happy moving the ball just one yard each year.
They are the adults politically.
“Compromise” was a dirty word to them and they wouldn’t face the fact that we couldn’t get all of what we wanted today. They wanted all or nothing and they wanted it all at once. If you don’t get it all, some said, don’t take anything.”- Ronald Reagan
I was referring specifically to continually losing on the corercive blackmail issue.
Regarding the “culture wars” though, the Left is winning simply because it is infinitely easier to destroy than to preserve, protect and build up.
The Communista are all about chaos and destruction, aided mightily by their essential, brainwashing foundational pillar of non-judgmentalism.
Adults don't steal elections, make promises they have no intention of keeping (lies), lock doors to keep their opposition out of the room, vacate the State and go into hiding because they don't like the outcome of a vote.
They're not adults, they're petulant children we keep trying to reason and compromise with and any good 'parent' knows that when Johnny's in the middle of the mall throwing a temper tantrum, you don't 'compromise' with him by buying him what he wants to stop his tantrum. You haul his ass back to the car, drive him home and put him in his room until he can learn to behave like a proper boy.
As long as republicans continue to coddle the democrats instead of taking them to task, this won't change. Everything that's gone on since Obama's inauguration has resulted in nothing but silence by the GOP. Boehner is spineless and rather than breaking ranks and speaking out, the rest of the dimwits follow his lead. They've even managed to tame Allen West. We need 'fire in the belly' conservatives; we need to clean house!
Sorry for the rant!
