“The key is figuring out the truth about obama.

I respectfully disagree.

We live in a culture in which truth no longer exists for most people. They are totally manipulable. They will believe any lie, if it’s told skillfully.

In that world, discovering the truth about Obama, while a good thing to do (truth is always good), is not the key.

The key is getting the truth heard and received.

And, quite frankly, I think that is no longer possible. The Lie has won. The Lie will not win forever, but for the next several generations (say, about 70 years, like the old USSR), the Lie will dominate. The Lie can win, for a time. It has happened in the past and there’s no reason to think “it can’t happen here.” It not only can but already has happened. Within the last five years I have noticed a marked change in my middle-class college students. They have dead eyes. They cannot think. They do not even know how to begin to think. The Left has succeeded in creating a Zombie culture.

Those who believe the Truth will have to witness to Truth in suffering.

The populace is now a rabble, easily manipulated by the Demongogues.

And George W. Bush/Teddy Kennedy’s “No Child Left Behind” helped to midwife the birth of this Zombie culture. These kids cannot think because they’ve only ever been taught to jump through hoops, to prepare for the tests. They have no notion of how to attack a problem and analyze it, unless the problem is which buttons to push on their darling little smartphones (how quaint, pushing buttons—I meant which icon to roll around on their touchscreens).

We can thank George Bush’s “worship the Test” mentality for that.

Will all Bushes please go hang themselves and get out of our lives forever and ever.

And that includes you, Jeb-crap.

I find little to disagree with in your post. As you say, the key is getting the truth heard and received.

The mental trap the demonrats have avoided is thinking one needs to win every heart and mind to gain control. You don't. You just need "enough" to get the ball rolling, then it takes care of itself and rolls over the opposition.

If or when "enough" individuals start listening to that sense that "something ain't right" about the world, and that maybe some of those whacked out crazies might be onto something, they'll start asking the right questions and the ball will roll all by itself.

There are enough individuals here, anywhere here is, to move the ball.

Hold the highest principles up like a beacon and the right people will respond. The rest will wonder what's going on and soon will follow.

If you think about it, that's how obama got in. Turn it around and hold him up to those high principles and beat him with them, exactly the same way he beat the Bush/McCain GOPe.

It's far from over, but I sense we are at a fork in the road, maybe even wide enough to turn this bus around. Can you feel it?
