Name ONE thing, desired by the left, that has not been steadily advanced over the last two decades. Democrats SERVE their base.
This is not excuses for the Republicans' non-performance.
That is precisely what it is. Excuses.
What low-voltage back-east Republicans will never understand is that they will not win without the Conservatives. And Conservatives are in three factions. Each of those factions REQUIRE their primary principles to be upheld. Without ALL THREE factions, Republicans cannot win, or at least, cannot win decisively...
SO WHY it is so important to uphold the principles of Conservatism, is because without doing so, you will not win, because you will not get enough people to go to the polls, unless ALL the principles of Conservatism are being served. All else results in voter apathy or split votes as the various factions break apart to support various candidates
The 1%ers (me included) are right. Even if you don't believe in Conservatism, or lack faith in one or more of it's factions and their principles, Compromise is never going to lead to success. When ALL Conservative principles are being served, THEN, and ONLY THEN, will rise the Conservative juggernaut.
That, in a nutshell, is Reagan Conservatism. You should try it sometime.
Hegelianism laid the predicate for the works of Marx and Engels. Even Marx and Engels said so. They simply stripped God out, and used Hegel’s method of finding the ‘thesis,’ the ‘antithesis,’ and the ‘synthesis.’
Here’s the fundamental problem: Stripped of God, this is a process bound only towards hell. Because, there can be no synthesis between good and evil. Good corrupted by evil is evil, as a bottle of fine wine poisoned by one drop of cyanide becomes a bottle of poison. Or, to use the biblical analogy: ‘A little leaven leavens the whole lump.’
This same mindset has infected the American heart and mind, even in Christian circles. We see it expressed every day now in the political process. They call it ‘choosing the lesser of two evils.’
If folks are tired of seeing their country going to hell in a handbasket they need to wake up to the fact that there is only one possible way to stop it: Quit compromising with evil.
