p.s.:
I need to elaborate that statement.
It seems to me that the GOP has the "best" ideas right now. Unfortunately, the GOP has no real strategy, not to mention the tactics necessary to carry out any strategy.
In other words, they may be "right" on the foundational principles of American society; but they have no real strategy for carrying them forward.
On the other hand, we have the Democrat party, which is utterly mindless; It has no good ideas at all.
All of its ideas have repeatedly been tried in human history, and every single time they have shown themselves impoverished in terms of securing individual liberty, prosperity, and well-being.
But such ideas have surely boosted the fortunes of tyrants, anytime they have bee tried.
May it be noted that all these failed "progressivist" schemes presided over incalculable human misery while they prevailed....
They have caused the deaths of millions of human beings just within the last century — the bloodiest century known to man in the history of humankind.
Notwithstanding they have no ideas at all that have not already been tried and condemned by history, the Democrat party knows how to win elections. And they don't care by what means it takes to win them.
I imagine they are placing all their bets on the current corrupt moral climate of America these days. They think they can literally "get away with murder" — for there's no one around to look after the interests of the victim....
Has America fallen so low????
They know they cannot wield power and influence unless they can get their people into positions of power.
I imagine it is the rare conservative who thinks in terms of "power" and the "influence" it gives one....
The "Other Side" has the worst ideas imaginable; but they definitely know the "logistics" of how to "WIN" elections.
And that's why they "routinely" beat us. And maybe will beat us again, next November.
BB, For some reason that seems to have slipped my mind, I had mistaken you for a serious FReeper.
