In the war of ideas conservatives need to fundamentally retool their approach.
Recently it has become far more annoying to see the right side of an argument collapse against much weaker positions. Conservatives need to re-evaluate their historical weaponry and step forward into the new paradigms of the modern era.
We know our positions are based on natural truths and supported by the empirical realities of both history and future, very predictable, consequence. So why do we constantly open the gates, and allow them our association, when the progressives flee away from dealing with the consequences of their own ideology?
Take the recent example of Rachel Canning, an 18-year-old who is suing her parents for continued financial support. She is a direct consequence of progressive ‘touchy feely feel good’ parenting based on the premise of responsibility avoidance. It’s the same insufferable ideology behind legislation to keep a person on their parent’s healthcare to the age of 26. Yet, when faced with an adult-child demanding actual ideological recognition therein we allow progressive retreat to our own conservative camp.
We let Canning’s parents defend themselves from their liberal consequence by supporting their new found convenient conservative defense, “individual responsibility”. The very definition of which the parental Canning’s intentionally avoided for the previous 18 years in favor of being “cool”.
Why do we allow it ? It’s time to change strategies, retool and force the consequence.
We cannot simply allow progressives to run amok acting like children, constructing ridiculous legislation, dimming down the body politic, and then step in to protect them from the consequence of their creation.
You want ObamaCare? Force it to realization. Force it into full effect?
You want a minimum raise hike ? Force it to $20/hr. Force it into effect?
You want tax hikes ? Force them to their maximum impact. Force 75% onto millionaires and billionaires with no deductions. Force it into effect?
When Progressive Candidate Obama sits on TV and tells Mitt Romney that he is out-of-touch with his views on Russia. Pause – Look into the camera – force the media to watch as you say:
…”OK, well, my fellow Americans, please write this down folks, this candidate, our president, claims Russia is no longer a geo-political threat to our nation.
Write down today’s date, so that on the day that Russia proves who is espousing the naive position – you can look back on this moment and recognize who makes sense. Thereby committing yourself to never make the same mistake again”.
Drive the difference. Widen the gap. Draw distinct lines which cannot be avoided. If ObamaCare is so great then why is this president desperately trying to avoid implementing it. Shout it into every microphone at every opportunity. Drive the message – make them own it.
On Race – Progressives are the most racist people on the face of the earth. Their political ideology has suppressed more people, and created more negative outcomes, than any other political ideology ever espoused.
When George Zimmerman was hiding from progressive attacks people stood with jaws agape when I said he should live out in the open. What exactly is there he should fear? What reason is there for him to hide ? Progressives are not violent right ?
Had George Zimmerman lived in the open what would have created the need for the City of Sanford to provide 24/7 security? What would have created that need ? [*Hint, it isn’t a risk of conservatives.] If a risk existed – who or what exactly creates that risk ?
Progs demand dependency – when they attack you for taking away things, agree with them – don’t run; agree while drawing out the inherent position within their argument – progs are really saying you (____fill in the blank____) can’t get it on your own, you’re too stupid, too inept, too incapable. Really ? …..Who’s the racist/bigot with the low expectations ?
When talking about America shout: “Yes, we are exceptional“. We’re better. We’re the best, we’re the biggest, and we are damn proud of it – – – – “what’s your point” ?
