Appreciate your comments, but the arguments in favor of preserving the ethnic heritage of the Founders need not be on a particular level (intellectually). They can be on a level no more complex than some of the children's books that once taught American kids about American folk heroes in terms that resonated with kids.

On the other hand, the Founders were themselves on such a high level, that the Kid Level approach can be a part of a far wider spectrum of arguments. The important thing is to create appealing images that make the points. Words, after all, are only symbols, not actual impressions. One size--or one description--need not fit all.

The Liberal method of arguing is to make television shows and movies that present their ideas as though they were a normal part of life. Liberals show people events and carefully constructed outcomes so as to make their ideas seem reasonable. They go straight for the primitive brain approach of "monkey see, monkey do."

Creating Drama that advances your arguments appeal directly to the emotional centers of our brains, and this is how they motivate people to agree with them. They did it in literature long before they did it in movies, but when the art form of movies and television came out, they quickly adapted to using it to spread their political messages.

I could give you countless examples of liberal doctrine messages disguised as entertainment in movies and television programs.

This is the most effective way to argue with Liberals or conservatives. Paint a picture for people that they can see, and that can capture their attention long enough for them to grasp the point, and if it resonates, they will accept the message attached to it. Also, keep doing it. Repetition eventually convinces.

On the other hand, the Founders were themselves on such a high level, that the Kid Level approach can be a part of a far wider spectrum of arguments.

The founders were brilliant. You can see it in their writings and their actions.

The important thing is to create appealing images that make the points. Words, after all, are only symbols, not actual impressions. One size--or one description--need not fit all.

And here it seems you are putting forth the exact methodology I mentioned above. Yes, speak to them in impressions, not words. Words require intellectual processing, but everyone's brains are wired to process images and events.

The best method of convincing people of the rightness of your arguments is the stage.
