The benefits of capitalism, on the other hand, are indirect and mostly unseen; Adam Smith had to create a metaphor with tangible form and heft -- "the Invisible Hand" -- to explain this. If something is complicated and abstract enough it can only be explained via metaphor, it's not "simple."

 

Stephen Crowder's    "redistribution of Halloween candy"     video was a perfect example of this.      To the point, simple, and bang-on accurate.

24 One thing the GOP can do is propose to eliminate certain taxes that everyone pays from Warren Buffet to Joe Sixpack and have a high annoyance factor.  Here's a short list

1. Al Gore's Universal Telephone Service Tax
2. Eliminate Phase out of Tuition Tax Credits (ditto for anything phasing out at incomes around $100K)   This would be a huge impact on suburbanites (pisses me off).
3. Allow credit for annual furnace cleaning/checkup as an energy savings.  Everyone does this, it actually saves energy.
4.  Lots of state stuff for state GOP

Yes this is a giveaway but they are real tax cuts that everyone pays and sees directly.   The Dems always want to cap or restrict these to cronies, let the GOP be the party of the regular guy

25 >>>Belgian discovers his wife used to be a man after 19 years I heard the same thing, except the guy I heard about had a hook for a foot.

Ahhh, Ace, ol' chum, you forgot to mention that the media goes even further than blacklisting us. They carefully choose their "conservative" from a pool of ninnies such as David Frum, Meghan McCain, etc.

And what's more, the Left will simply create a conservative to put on the airwaves. Sorkin's lousy new tv series The Newsoom has a few "conservatives" on it, but of course they are caricatures.

And that idiotic show with Ellen Barkin as a "conservative."

30 The problem with messaging something complex like conservatism is that it gets beat by "free shit" every time.

It took decades for the commies to assert communism as Teh Awesome, and they did it by word-swapping and language manipulation.   We     need to     do the      same damn thing,     but even craftier.     We need to make movies people want to see, books they want to read, shows they want to watch, music they want to hear, websites they want to visit, without EVER telling them that what we're doing is deprogramming their leftist brainwashing.     We have to make escapism educational.

53 Conservatives as a whole need to start playing the game by the lefts rules. Diversity law suits over ideology, true alternative medias, the list goes on and on. This is institutional capture at its finest. I was accepted to UCLA for a Phd once then unaccepted. Why? The guy I was going to work with, in hushed tones like he was admitting to enjoying kicking kittens, told me it was because the letters B Y and U were on my CV and the committee decided that I wasn't going to be able to fit in at 2008 era UCLA. To paraphrase what Ernie Pyle said after the Americans got their ass kicked at Kasserine Pass in North Africa. Until the Americans learn to fight with German rules the Americans are going to keep losing. You would think with the ass kicking the right keeps getting from all these groups we would recognize its possible to fight like a cornered animal and still keep our morality.

60 We need to put efforts into try to take over some of these institutions that control our culture. We need cultural capital. As I've said before, buy a company like Disney and put in a board that shares our values. Its complicated and takes time, but this is what the libs have been doing for 100 years. We need to play catch-up.
We also can't keep ghettoizing ourselves, whether on blogs or on what TV we watch and our reps appear on. We should be filling the comment sections on all sorts of news websites, and places like CNET, etc. Liberalism has to be challenged everywhere. They can't have safe havens.
If we can't escape their ideas, they shouldn't be able to escape ours. We need to pop their bubble. We've established a foothold in the new media. Now its time to expand it.

I liked  Hanson's ideas in his "Let Obama be Obama" piece - citing the fact that 8 of the 10 wealthiest counties in the US voted Obama, raise taxes more steeply on the mega-rich - as an alternative to caving in on the $250k and up tax increase. 

The idea that we're the "party of the rich" hurt us more than anything last time.  I'd rather be known as the party of small business than big business.

I'd still demand steep spending cuts (that actually happen now, not sometime in the future).  I'd still warn everyone that taxing the rich won't solve any problems, will slow growth, and all the rest.  But don't make "no tax increases for anyone" a hill to die on.  We'll die on it, and everyone will get their taxes increased over our dead political corpse anyway.  250k and up is the opening salvo in the inevitable round of middle-class tax increases to come.  We won't be around to fight any of that (or won't do so effectively) if we're marginalized.

I'm on board for that.  I WANT HER MAYOR of Cleveland.

84 Delurking for a bit. This is why I love those videos Bill Whittle does. He is a *fantastic* voice for conservatism. In his videos he makes very clear and concise arguments for our values and ideas and he does so in a calm and rational way that is very appealing. Every single person I have shown those videos to has come around to what he's saying by the end of one of the videos. If we could get those some air time I think it would be a start. But as we all know getting the air time is the first problem, and I fear we have hit a point where it's a hurdle too high.

85 I think an open hand, palm up is the person of the year. Gimme. As far as winning the culture goes, I think Amish had a point about learning from the Pelosi/Reid bad behavior machine. I add: never apologize. As for us Cons being reactionary and stodgy, who are the pc scolds, eh?

86 I hate to ask, did curious dissapear? Seems I haven't heard much from here lately.

87 Georgia O'Keefe approves. So does Judy Chicago.

88 Yes, well a vagina is easily loved. It can be influential and a source of power. It can be a relentlessly persuasive. It can bring things to life and tempt even the most chaste amongst us. It can be ridden ad naseum and never tire from the abuse.

89 I love the "Here's a movie!" idea.  It needs to happen.

And it wouldn't even be all that hard. 

Take, for instance, the War Movie.  War movies make lots of money every time they're tried (well, unless they're explicitly anti-military war movies).  How do you make a war movie (which should mostly be about explosions and people getting shot) be Conservative?  The characters. 

We take their formula (where the Main Character is screwed up can only be saved by one or all of the others) and drop it on its head.  In our formulation, the Main Character is the paragon of virtue.  It's not that he never makes hard choices, but that he makes right choices.  Then the supporting cast are each representations of his various aspects taken too far.

There's the Gung-ho dude who doesn't know when it's time to retreat.  There's the Tactical dude who thinks so much about the "what ifs" he's constantly second guessing the Main Character.  There's the Merciful dude who is willing to sacrifice his own team's safety instead of shooting people who are obviously enemies, just because they aren't armed right then (or whatever).  There's the psycho dude who wants to kill everyone "and let God sort 'em out."

And you can do that with other movie types, too.  For instance, I've suggested the Rom/Com in which both the principle characters are virtuous and the conflict comes not from one party lying to the other (even by omission) but because one party tells an ugly truth, and the other has to come to terms with it.

The current model of right media, as an "alternative" or shadow media, is inherently ghettoizing as we first define ourselves explicitly as conservative and "alternative."

94

Well . . .  we have been catering to the vagina since Eve.  So - I guess the Republican Party might as well.    It's always been all about the Vag. 

Make it our party policy like the Dems have.

"Well the last time that happened we ended up with the New Deal."

That's what I'm talking about.  Reminds me of all that 2010 talk of "constitutional conventions."  If one was actually held today, what it would produce would be Frankenstein to Madison's Adam.

 

Steal a line from Pelosi's playbook this time - make the tax increases sunset.  Make the Congress revisit the question so we can keep saying "we gave you your tax increases - where are your spending cuts."  Not every 5 or 10 years - every year.  The public doesn't remember the last round of tax/spend debates - we do.  We remember Bush I getting screwed on spending cuts.  We remember Reagan getting screwed on border enforcement.  HoneyBooBoo voters don't.  Keep the issue fresh.

99 More evidence that we are in the midst of a culture that requires cult of personality, we are officially a banana republic. From the NY Post, It didn't work for Ohio State fans, who petitioned President Obama to pardon their NCAA-sanctioned team so the Buckeyes could play in a bowl game this year, but now Dallas Cowboys fans will give it a shot. Fans of America's team, which sits at 5-6 in the NFC East -- two games behind the rival Giants -- created a petition on the White House's website to get owner Jerry Jones impeached from his position with the team. Jones, who purchased the Cowboys in 1989, has been in charge of football operations ever since, and has stated he has no plans to give up control any time soon -- although he did say several weeks ago that he probably would have fired himself already. The Cowboys have won one playoff game since 1996. The petition, in full reads: “We, the Citizens of the Great State of Texas, and Dallas Cowboys fans worldwide, have been oppressed by an over controlling, delusional, oppressive dictator for way too long. Request the Executive Branch’s immediate assistance in removal of owner and GM, Jerry Jones. His incompetence and ego have not only been an extreme disappointment for way too long, but moreover, it has caused extreme mental and emotional duress.” According to the Dallas Morning News, the petition didn't even have 100 signatures, while 25,000 are needed for a petition to even be considered. So the JEF determines who plays in what competitions, and who is allowed to own sports teams? That is the perception

105 Yep. To put it another way, it really is Hayek vs. Keynes.

I don't see Hayek and Keynes as opposites.  Hayek's point was that "planned economies" lead inevitably to authoritarianism and poverty.  Keynes' point was that an interventionist government can manage cyclical economic downturns by dumping money into the economy at appropriate times.

Hayek's opposite number philosophically would be the Karl Marx and other socialist theorists, not Keynes, IMO.

106 look, the GOP House is going to fold. Like they always do. No matter how much power we have in DC, we fold. fine. If there's a culture war, then we need ammo. I don't know if there are any rich people left who care about the GOP but if there are, maybe they should hire some PR firms who can look into this stuff. BTW, fox news isn't ghettoized because Fox is a real channel with a real culture war axe to grind against fox news america. Maybe Fox can hire some writers or fire some producers to make things fall into line.

107 It's not just a vagina, it's a vajazzle.

108

The New Great Depression 2.0 (starting in a country near you real soon) will CEMENT the Democrat Majority because the narrative will be that the Republicans (Bush!!!) and Capitalism were the causes.

 

This has been said here many times, but it does bear repeating until we all know it.

 

The propaganda in the 1930's was pretty thorough. All the media of the time (newspapers, etc) were pretty much for FDR.  I use to have copies of a few old newspapers from the 1930's that my mother had saved, and reading articles and editorials with the hindsight of history is pretty breathtaking.  Just the writing and grammar were somewhat better.

 

Interesting that the curmudgeon "Progressive" H.L. Mencken did not like Roosevelt and said so, and his peers in the media of the day all turned on him, and his popularity plummeted.

 

The Media today is not so nearly in lockstep, but the organs of the Federal Government can find ways to harass and intimidate dissent, push it into the margins (which they have and are still doing).

109 Yes, Vagina. There is a Santa Claus.

110 Democratic Vagina: roaches go in but they don't come out

111 And here I thought it was just a clever way of calling the electorate pussies...

119 Times Person of the Year: Top hole. Doggy style. Covers everything.

120 So I'm in ToysRUs with my wife the other day when we hear loud cursing from one of three young black women standing with a black guy.

My wife isn't the confrontational sort, but she was so outraged by the lack of respect that she marched up to the "lady" dropping the F-bombs and told her that there are young children all around and to please mind her language.

The scrunt she was addressing stared at her with contempt. As her eyes began to narrow, I locked on to the male in the group and just gave him a blank stare that said, "I see you there. See what happens if you start any trouble.

After a brief silence, my wife and I walked away. There was no more cursing. But afterward, I realized something... there was a time in my life when I would have told you that a man should NEVER hit a woman unless his life was in danger.

But as I saw that bitch contemplating maybe getting physical with my wife, I was already preparing to fuck her shit up in the worst way.  I'm not talking about intervening and pulling her away from my wife, I'm talking smashing her into the ground and stomping her face.

What that says about me and the culture's effect on me, I don't know. What I do know is that I'm not having any of this shit. Not when it comes to my family. My wife isn't a fighter, but I am. Fuck with her or my kids and I'm putting you in the hospital -- I don't give a shit if you have a vagina or not.

122 Part of the problem is the dearth of Bill Buckleys and Milton Friedmans in the modern age. 

Most of what we have now are shrieking info-tainers more interested in pandering exclusively to their already conservative audience for ratings.

123 A commenter?

124 The Senate will likely place a hold on anyone President Barack Obama nominates to replace Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, according to Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R., N.H.). “There will be a hold” until the Obama administration fully answers lingering questions surrounding the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Ayotte told a group of reporters Tuesday afternoon during a conference organized by the Foreign Policy Initiative (FPI). “My view is we should hold on this until we get sufficient information from the administration because there are questions that need to be answered,” she said. A “hold” is a parliamentary rule that allows any senator to delay action in the Senate. I guess Kelly has a set of balls

#93 Ace, I think this has been part of the Left's plan, they have failed to outright kill conservative media, so they have herded us into our little corners of the Web and we seem content to stay there.  When we venture out they have spiked clubs labeled "racism," "homophobia, "sexism," etc.  We get tired of being clubbed.  So we go back to our corners and preach and joke to each other, and we stop venturing out. 

 

I've found myself spending less and less time on this and other blogs and more on Twitter.  First, it is good discipline to have to make a point in 140 characters.  Second, you can troll and argue to your heart's content.  You can follow liberals or get on their hashtags to see what they are saying and how they are saying it.  Conservatives have made a lot of headway on Twitter.  Jim Treacher pretty much singlehandedly killed the Seamus'on-the-roof attck on Mitt Romney with his Obama Ate A Dog stuff on Twitter.  We are abusing Obama with hashtags that are driving liberals nuts.

No, we, as a party, must always be embarrassed by our own side. W may not have been perfect but he did a good job considering where we are now. You can compare and contrast every data point from 2001-2005 to 2008-2012 and see.

128 and the almost complete blacklisting of any contrary voice.

Yep, even liberal Juan Williams was attacked by the leftists at npr.  Course, he never quite learned the lesson.

4. Make maximum use of mobility
5. Operate mainly in small, local groups
6. Remain largely detached from the enemy
7. Do not attempt to hold ground
8. Operate in depth rather than en face
9. Aim for perfect intelligence about the enemy
10. Concentrate only for momentary tactical superiority
11. Strike only when the enemy can be taken by surprise
12. Never engage in sustained combat
13. Always have lines of retreat open
14. Make war on materiel rather than on men
15. Make a virtue of the individuality, irregularity, and unpredictability of guerrillas

132 We also can't keep ghettoizing ourselves, whether on blogs or on what TV we watch and our reps appear on. We should be filling the comment sections on all sorts of news websites, and places like CNET, etc. Something I've noticed on Insty lately is that pretty much any time he links to something patently stupid the comments there are completely taken over by non-liberals. It's a lot of fun to read an unthinking libtard article followed by 10 pages of people explaining how the article sucks, especially when it's at a supposedly non-political site.

133

Its not the conservative movies that are not made but the liberal movies that are made. 

 

Almost all of the top grossing Super Hero movies have a conservative message. Almost all of the top grossing animated movies have a conservative message. Almost all action hero movies have a conservative message.

 

Law abiding people whether they want to believe it or not lean toward the conservative message but a conservative message in real life is much of the time a hard message and not for the weak willed.  Movies are fantasy outlets for the weak willed.  They use the liberal movies to justify there real life positions.

Which is why I agree with MWR, and think we need to start focusing on Rom/Coms and "Dramas" for our conservative messages.

It's also why I'm conflicted about boycotting Hollywood.  When something comes out with a conservative message, I want to support it- because it deserves support.  On the other hand, I know that's just financing the crappy LibTard movies that are going to come out next year or the year after.

154 Seriously, the Cognitive Dissonance must be very, very strong with Joss Whedon. Whedon says he gets into the character's head and writes what they'd actually say, regardless of his own opinions. I actually believe it more than ever after seeing the Avengers. Atheists pitched a minor shitstorm because Captain America says "There's only one God, ma'am, and I'm pretty sure He doesn't dress like that". It's a pitch-perfect character moment, much like Mal's "I aim to misbehave".

This aggravates the crap out of me.  The (original) Jason Bourne novels (I haven't read the new ones) were about a CIA Hero who chose to essentially give himself MPD to stop America's enemies.  The CIA were the good guys.

You're a funny guy, AllenG.

164 All the points Ace made are so obviously true that only a deliberate liar would attempt to refute them. Thus I think it is reasonable to conclude that we have suffered de facto disenfranchisement. What, then, is the right response? The state is now illegitimate because the funtions of society that gave it legitimacy have been wholly subverted. For me, in my despair, the conclusion is that we must either work to live well while subverting the system or we must escape it and rob it of our strength and productivity. For now I must do the former, but I am making preparations to do the latter.

165 That was a terrible PC drudgefest of gay siblings, ruined marriages, awful PC shills.

Oh. So "The New Normal" and "Modern Family."  Right then.  (No, I don't watch them.  I don't have to to know what they're about).

166 @159. Right, because she's not a women, she's a republican. BTW, it's sexist or would have been sexist to reply to the war on women by quoting insane lefty hate filled hate against GOP women.

167 I guess I agree with ace's sentiments but if you believe capitalism is a manifestation of evolutionary psychology, or even if you believe a god put these regular functions in your head, then you should know the Left's stranglehold on the institutions that disseminate information is leading to its demise. Let them have the old and dying structures. They're old and dying. Let's focus on the parallel systems that will replace them.

Sorry man, but W set  the cause of limited government back 30 years. He was wrong on entitlements, immigration and education - sold us out on all three. At a time when we controlled all branches of government and could finally implement what we've been yammering about for decades. Sold us out. He sucked.

172 well, it's like this, folks. As the immigration for the sake of immigration movement moves towards more immigration of folks who want free shit and more immigration progresses, the new populace will eventually tire of asking for free shit once (and I am using the words of some lefty asshole in another thread) all the old white men die (because old white women don't die or something), they'll then start paying attention to the governance of the country. so, maybe, in 50 years or so, the ship will restabilize. and remember, immigration is a losing issue. for the left. That's why we're not allowed to discuss it. and remember, our alleged hatred is already baked in the electoral mindset, so embrace it.

2. Pain-Free: Vote for me and raise your neighbor's taxes,  not yours.

 

3. Demographics: Vote for me and I'll see to it that more people that look like you  can  enter the country.

 

4. Opinion-Shapers: Vote for me, every news anchor, professor, rock star and actor you know agrees with me.

Was W better than Obama? Of course.

 

But consider that we went from Reagan, who wanted to abolish the Education  Department on the solid, constitutional and practical grounds that it was not the domain of the federal government, to Bush, who engineered a  virtual federal takeover of schools. It wasn't just bad policy, it made three decades of thoughtful conservative opinion on the subject look foolish.

 

And he did it solely to get re-elected. He's a good man and was great on security (though his oopsie on WMD's was embarrassing) but, like his dad, he wasn't really grounded philisophically on domestic issues.

No such thing as a free lunch when it's extracted from someone else's hide. I need to roll my sleeves up and get to work now that I've seen the light."?

 

My education into how long the effect of a crisis might last was 9-11. That was REALLY a wake up call of the nth degree. Which lasted for liberals and the 'low information' types a few months at best before they reverted to their natural selves.

When we do hit rock bottom, and your choices are working hard and getting by and starving they'll still hold out hope that someone will give them a scrap of food. Until it doesn't happen. Then they'll either die of starvation, attempt to take by force food from others (and probably die trying), or roll up their sleeves and start busting their asses. Mother Nature is a harsh mistress.

No, all in all, Bush was not "better than" Obama. Similarities, differences, of course.

He not only overspent like Obama, but he enacted the Patriot Act and DHS which certainly are boondoggles that function contrary to propaganda promises influencing legislative passage. There isn't a piece of legislation that Bush enacted from his own agenda that hasn't proven to squander tax dollars and squash the Bill of Rights. It was Bush, not Obama, who started the obtusely foolish TSA. It was Bush who started the federal program usurping religious freedom as a faith-based initiative. Bush added to the ineffective public educational process and costs via "no child left behind." And when fiat money is printed and spent without congressional oversight, thank Bush whose executive order declared the Office of Treasury Secretary as autonomous, beholden to no one.

If support for an agenda is based on an image that you've bought into, have the guts to admit as much. Yes, the Bush family is very patriotic, well mannered, and completely insulated.

Look at the destruction sown on the basis of public trust in American patriotism abused by our presidents. Begin with the loss of this most recent patriotic generation of young adults volunteering into our Military. Aside from the Bush suicidal rules of engagement, they are stuck being perpetually redeployed in  never-ending wars supposedly to sell Western "democratic" ideology to "nation build" (by destroying) Middle Eastern civilizations. So many people destroyed; so much liberty lost. Even Bush's initial propaganda to establish permanent US Military Installations in Iraq in order to prevent Iran's influence in the region came to naught.

The NATO/US-deployed-funded illegal war to destroy Libya is Obama's extension of Bush's international interventionist war. Italy and France demanded to pirate Libya's Central Bank. What have the Libyans now? Gaddafi had actually built the Libyan nation from its oil profits, providing food, housing, medical care, and education FREE to Libyans. And women had more liberty under Gaddafi's rule than they do now, much more than they will as the Wahhabi Muslim Brotherhood educated barbarian misogynists overwhelm the Middle East on behalf of the Saudi global caliphate (to be).

Get a grip. No thanks to GWB, "we" are not simply making matters worse, but are lying to everyone, beginning with ourselves. There is no justification for genocide. And the genocides resulting from US interventionist wars (to profit global corporations, not US taxpayers let alone US workers) occur amongst the indigenous Buddhists, Christians, and every religious minority sect that proffers societal harmony and peace, leaving the power in the hands of the most egregious Wahhabi monsters. 

So much ancient history destroyed. So many populations obliterated in the name of Muslim "progress" -- really the opposite given the advances made during the 20th Century.

Of the global corporate pirating profiteers whom Eisenhower deplored -- THEIR PROFITS are funded by the dumbass US taxpayers, provided by the US Military which is no longer permitted to protect and defend the US Constitutional Republic (no longer functioning).

Too big to fail? Who is still buying?

203 Before the "Bush ruined my life" argument gets going,  I just thought I would tell you who I predict will be the democrat candidate for 2016:

MICHELLE OBAMA

It will keep the personality cult going,  sort of like Eva Peron did.

Now chew on that for a while. 

By the way,  Bush wasn't perfect,  but I sure do miss having someone in office who loved our country and supported the troops.  Also, 5% unemployment.

Bush campaigned on school reform in 2000. It was not a pander. Its main thrust was accountability.

 

His main thrust was School Choice. Little talk of the largest federal spending on education ever. It was co-sponsored by Ted Kennedy for fuckÂ’s sake.

 

It has not been proven to be a failure in the least.

 

I didnÂ’t say it was a failure. Like every other federal incursion on education, itÂ’s an expensive way to avoid facing the fact that the schools are fine, the kids have changed. For conservatives, it was definitely a Consistency Fail.

 

And you sound like the left in describing the WMD issue. 

 

 No, IÂ’m just a conservative who passed on the Kool Aid.

 

Social Security reform was BushÂ’s only courageous endeavor, and he folded like a tent. I donÂ’t mean to be harsh, but with Jeb hinting at a run I want to send the Bushes a clear message: No Thanks.  

 

 

209 Speaking of choking, remember the guy who dropped dead after a roach eating contest? He died from roach. He barfed and choked.

210 Miss Marple

Go figure how ordering suicidal rules of engagement and perpetual redeployment into wars with no design beyond never ending "supported the troops".

Compassionate conservatism sold really well in season. Relabel, "new, improved" ... the lengths politicians will go to gain public sympathy/support.

No argument that the Bush family shows up to cheer on the troops. But lip service only goes so far when combat is perpetuated, designed to go on forever, with no constitutional purpose. Rather, for global profiteering, blood money.

It's easy to be attracted to and seduced by good manners. An old Nazi professor scoffed at his class, "You can say anything you like so long as you smile." The most frequent response after being conned? "He seemed like such a nice man."

No , school choice was just part of Bush's overall Education reform plan in the 2000 campaign.  Acccountability of schools and teachers was the main focus.

 

And in regard to drinking the Kool Aid , I guess one of Bush's main critics, Hans Blix, drank the Kool Aid when he reported that there was over 1000 documented tons of VX gas that was never accounted for.  

213 203 Before the "Bush ruined my life" argument gets going, I just thought I would tell you who I predict will be the democrat candidate for 2016: MICHELLE OBAMA You know, this was the very firstest thing I thought when I heard the "our ground game doesn't translate to other Democrats" bullshit. 12 more years of this shit, motherfuckers.

10 friends or family.  What's your point pyscho?  

215 "Yes, housing subsidies have saddled people with homes they cannot afford."

No.  No, they did not.

The subsidies encouraged people to foolishly overcommit.  The saddling was a result of this personal foolishness.

Startled me, that did.

218 MICHELLE OBAMA

Hey, wouldn't she at least have to be coronated as a Senator or Mayor or something - like Hilary - before she gets to be President? Let's give Hilary 4 to 8 years before Michelle. 16-20 years is the math I believe. 

219 Maybe the "Well-Used Vagina"?

Go ahead and keep fighing that fight, poly.   If a Democrat made Bush's WMD oopsie-daisy, we'd never let  them forget it. I'm not going  to pretend it wasn't a humilating,  costly error.

221 Only Democrats care about skin color.

222 The reason The Vagina works so well as the message that got Obama elected is, it represents a Yawning Chasm of Need, Waiting to be Filled, Never Satisfied.

Sure, keywords like "Illuminati" and "Jewish lobby" out you immediately as a bona fide tinfoil hatter, but subtlety can only get you so far when you demonstrate the ability to say words and phrases like "military industrial complex" and "global corporations are responsible for every US war in history" with a straight face. I used to give them a little bit of benefit of the doubt because their Constitutional talk sounded pretty. After this past election, though? Hie thee to thy concrete bunkers, for I'll not entertain thee.

224 Twits for Twats!!

225 "If we could get those some air time I think it would be a start. But as we all know getting the air time is the first problem, and I fear we have hit a point where it's a hurdle too high." Is getting air time difficult, or is it just expensive? There are conservatives with money, right? If conservatives expect to make any progress into pop culture we'll have to grow a spine and stop self-censoring. People will never be persuaded by ideas we never share.

226 If you go to YouTube and search for "Free to Choose" you can watch the entire season right there on your PC. What funny, not funny haha but funny I'm laughing so I don't cry, is that nearly everything that Milton talks about in the show applies today. Plus you get to see a young Thomas Sowell.
