Major defeats inevitably tempt us to despair, but despair is foolish in times of defeat just as is excessive celebration and confidence in times of victory. Ultimately, conservative principles endure and rise again after defeat because those principles are grounded in lasting truths about human nature.

In addition, political matters are subject to changes of fortune as reaction sets in to the effects of bad policies. Thus Jimmy Carter and an era of economic decline and perilous retreat during the Cold War led to the election of Ronald Reagan and an extraordinary roll back of the burdens of taxation and government, a renewal of the American economy, and victory in the Cold War.

In simple terms, as bad as things are, we are but a few good elections away from reversing defeats into victories and setting a new course for the country.

Yes, you are correct - after all it’s the national Socialist left that has to base their agenda on LIES. We can proudly stand up on our principles and the truth without flinching.

The national Socialist left has to obscure it’s action and motivations and rationalize their actions as ‘the ends justifies the means’.

In fact it’s beginning to dawn on me that we can now almost universally apply a rule of translating almost everything the national Socialist left say into the opposite effect.

When they say they want ‘Equality’ it means they want Inequality (their side being more ‘equal’)

When they say they want ‘Liberty’ it means they want tyranny.

When they say they don’t want to ban guns, that exactly what they mean to do (Ok, that was an easy one)
