Great points, as always, bray. Unless we understand and accept the underlying spiritual basis for this conflict we will always be at a severe disadvantage.
I do think we need to remember, however, that Sandra Fluke was not simply a mis-guided, brainwashed “young person” - she’s 30 year old long-time activist who by her own admission chose Georgetown so she could mount an assault on its traditions, institutions and policies. Further, I have no doubt she was in on the White House plan which George Stephanopoulis publicly launched weeks before in the debates. She is not a concerned student - she’s an enemy operative. She may have begun as an ignorant puppet, but she’s now willingly graduated to one of the low-level puppeteers.
The problem is that that is how the media describes her.
Every story, every AP shared article, only referred to Fluke as “Sandra Fluke, Georgetown University student,..”
Given the short attention span modern mankind has with all that invades our lives, I’d say that’s what the vast majority of Americans heard about the issue: Rush Limbaugh called some student a slut.
The press is Pravda.
They did seem to have the counter attack pretty well run out of the gate. The feigned outrage routine ended up backfiring.
