Is it too late for America?


There is an old saying that goes "Dont bring a knife to a gun fight". I think that is pretty true in what has happened to America. Our Constitution is no longer followed and honored. We have had Supreme Court Justices admit that they look at other countries constitutions in determing their decisions. That is of course a violation of their appointed position. How much more blatant can it get than that?

Here are the issues in the fall of America:

It starts in the Public School System where they teach group type concepts while implying that parents are nice and well intended but they just do not know what is actually going on. They point to injustice and add that the real answers are found in Government actions. People do not have the answer, your Government does.

Yes the media is a huge issue with constant misleading and agenda driven articles. They slander and mislead. Why? Because they have a focal point in their belief system. Its the group. Banding in a group that is tied to perpetual causes. The causes never stop they are just a smokescreen to keep people seing what is really going on. The truth does no longer matter but the cause does. So, it becomes acceptale to lie in order to promote the cause.

The conservatives believe the truth will play out in the end. They know the success they can have if just left alone to use their talents to prosper. Just as great as this is, it also is an achilles heel in the fight against socialism. Why? They are united as a group that will do whatever they believe it takes to get the job done because...they believe in the group.

Individualism is a great thing in the venue of everyday life's directions whether it be work or family rearing. However when determing who makes the laws and the leaders in charge of making the laws, it is failing miserably.

If we think just simply uniting is going to change things we are sadly mistaken. Our knives are not winning the battle against the guns. Let me elaborate. Michael Steele was just chosen to lead the GOP. At first some people thought that was a good thing. A few short weeks later we are clearly seeing it is not. In many cases people are looking at his statements and calling the man a democrat in his views. So in a few short weeks he has went from being called a conservative to a socialist. This is the man chosen to lead the GOP.

This takes me to my point. In order to really succeed you have to have a plan. You have to find individuals and raise them up. Prepare them step by step in this journey from office to office. I personally do not see this happening. Perhaps because conservativism is a belief in one another, the people and their ingenuity and perservarity. That plays well in the private sectorm but in the political it does not.

People think we can return to prominence in 2010 and 2012. Personally I do not know how anyone with half of a brain could vote for any Democrat. Ahhhhhh therein lies the problem. The Democrats know there are many people out there with half a brain and will not take the time to ever fnd out if the crap flying from the fan is indeed crap.

We have just given the biggest voter fraud 4 Billion dollars to work with. Instead of being in jail, they are given boatloads of money to keep lying and keep registering people who know little about anything. The big push is out there by Democrats to restore voting priveledges to felons. Just who would the felons vote for?

My question is what are we as conservatives doing about any of this? Moderates will not do anything. They have been tricked into believing its kool to be in the middle stradling the fence on everything.Yet they are so easily deceived. As it is, I see no hope for America avoiding becoming a totally socialist country. The flow of lies is too much.

I also do not see conservatives putting their money where their mouth is. As much as I love Rush and Hannity and Mark Levin; I feel they failed the movement in 08. How can I say that? Yes you are entertainers. Yes you have been very informative. They say they should not point to one person and form the opinion for the person, and yet they do it everyday on issues. Why not a person? In my opinion they failed us by not getting entrenched behind their man and promoting that man. That is how we ended up with Mike Hucksterby and John Mccain instead of a Mitt Romney or a Fred Thompson. Mccain was embarrassing to watch in the debates. Hell he got embarrassed in the 10 man forums.

Conservatives want to be left alone and live under the constitution. Those days are totally done. The media has you. Acorn has you. The education system has you.There is no place to turn right now. Many splinter groups of conservatism concentrate on a few things they are worried about losing...free speech, your guns, etc etc etc.

So what could you really do? What do the people who could actually do something really do. I wish some people with money would start in one place. A national newspaper. The socialists have the USA today. Why not "American Heritage Today" ? Start a national newspaper with writers telling what is really going on? Not everyone will turn on Rush or Mark Levin. But many will buy a newspaper and read. What about a national station like TBS? Ted Turner did it. He came up with CNN. It all worked. It could work with conservatism if people believed in the cause just a little more.

In England a year ago Al Gore was beat in a liberal court on lies in his Global Warming movie. They talked about it on the Glenn Beck Show. The scientist they interviewed said they could do it here in America for 2 million dollars and win again. A lot of big talkers out there. If I had the money I would do it. Yet, look at all the money these talk show host make, look at al the great businessmen out there and no one really does anything. So why are we bringing a knife to a gun fight if we really believe what we say we believe?

Dennis, you have me pondering so many things that I probably should respond on my own blog instead of taking up all of yours. Very interesting subject!
