Liberals work off emotions conservatives work off logic. When will people learn to follow their head and not their heart.

Will Liberals Win The Propaganda Wars?

Unless the ENTIRE criminal history of the Clinton-Clinton-Reno-Gore crime family is completely exposed before the American public -- yes.

As long as the fiction that "the Nixon Administration was a criminal enterprise, with serious crimes, but Clinton was just a good-natured womanizer who lied ONLY about sex" fiction is allowed to remain the mantra of the dominant media, we WILL lose the culture war.

In this area, I wish to God somebody would donate Bush a CLUE!!!!!!!!!!

With labeling as a foundation, liberals go on to select from a number of other proven techniques. Hopefully, the voters in the coming election can cut through the propaganda and select the best leaders for our trying times. Let´s get out there and help them do it.

Make personal attacks part of a political platform. Put the adults in charge. Labeling is for those who have nothing else to work with.
The right wing, the adults of society. The mature.
Make the progressives into "regressive" - back into their childhood type image.
Once liberals are portrayed as children, the country will notice it right away and agree.

Liberals usually win the emotional side of debates, which for most TV viewers is the only side that counts, while conservatives win the less exciting logical side.

Who really believes that it makes a difference? Now that the nation has reached the point where 50% of the people pay 96% of the taxes it is time to recognize the meaning of the words of Teddy Roosevelt on the Fall of the Republic. Study his words carefully and see if his observation brings any of your own observations to mind.

"The Roman Republic fell, not because of the ambition of Caesar or Augustus, but because it had already long ceased to be in any real sense a republic at all. When the sturdy Roman plebeian, who lived by his own labor, who voted without reward according to his own convictions, and who with his fellows formed in war the terrible Roman legion, had been changed into an idle creature who craved nothing in life save the gratification of a thirst for vapid excitement, who was fed by the state, and who directly or indirectly sold his vote to the highest bidder, then the end of the Republic was at hand, and nothing could save it. The laws were the same as they had been, but the people behind the laws had changed, and so the laws counted for nothing."

Will Liberals Win The Propaganda Wars?

And just who will the liberals convince in this propaganda war causing them to vote for liberals? Could it be liberals? Not likly liberals are already liberal. They vote liberal. That is why they are called liberals. What abut the conservatives? Will the right rush to vote for Hillary or Gore the next time? That is not too probable is it? How many of you are just waiting for Hillary to say the magic words that will open your eyes to see her propagandized truth?

Then who is the target in the propaganda war. The object of all political wars is the people that somtimes vote for the left and at other times vote for the right. The object of all propaganda wars is the middle. That is who the left always goes after. He who wins the middle wins. That is not rocket science but it escapes most conservatives.

The center never goes for the stuff that motivates the left. If the center bought the same pitch that persuades the left, they would be leftists... wouldn't they? The center never goes for the logic that motivates the right. If they were persuaded by the arguments that persuades the right, they would be conservatives... wouldn't they? The center has its own middle of the road agenda that appeals to it. The party that bends enough to garner center support wins. That always has been the case. It will always be the case.

Neither the left or right has enough support to win. They have about 1/3 each. To win a political party must get over half the center.

What Democrat candidates always try to do is appeal to the center. If they get the center they win. Why did Bill Clinton run as a NEW DEMOCRAT. Is it becuase true blue Democrats don't like Old Demorats? Hardly. Democrats love old leftist Democrats. It is the center that does not like OLD Democrats. So Bill and Hillary offered the center a NEW IMPROVED MORE MODERATE Democrat.

Why is Bush running to the center? It is because the center does not like the right. They certainly don't like the old right. They never have. They never will. They don't like the old left either. They never have they never will.

I can hear someone screaming, Clinton wasn't a NEW DEMOCRAT, he was an old Democrat. UH HUH. Try telling that to the center. And listen closely to yourself. YOu may have just discovered teh secret to ruling America.

Our a two party system is so established in law it cannot be changed. The two parties agreed on that little item. Tthere are only two ways to change the nation. The left can do things to appeal to the center, then further the agenda of the left when it gets control of the house senate and presidency. The Right can do things to appeal to the center, then further its agenda when it gets control of the house senate and presidency.

One advantate for the left is leftists totally support a Democrat when he does the New Democrat bit to apeal to the center.

The right tries to destroy a New Repubican if he tries a similar tactic to gain control. They right just loves losing to Democrats. Either that or they are clueless. Some are so principled that they demand defeat rather than do what it takes to win. They are among the best supporters the left has.

The success so often enjoyed by the left and the frequent failure of the right is not based on media or smarter politicians on the left. It is the rights constant demand that no right wing policitan ever be permitted to go after the center.

The right always thinks that if the center just heard them out, the center would become conservative. Here is the clue. They have heard what the right pitches, and they have consistantly rejected it for 70 years.

The only good news is the center has rejected what the left pictches for nearly 140 years.

The left learned in 1930 what it takes to control America. The right hasn't figured it out yet. Perhaps they never will. Tom Daschle certainly hopes the right never does. He is betting the future of the Democratic party on his belief that you will not.

Somehow suggesting that liberals win the propaganda wars because of their hysterical and irrational behavior combined with half-truths and out right lies really begs the question, doesn't it? And I'm totally unconvinced that television is anything but a liberal bastion. The only place I hear clear and concise conservative discussion is on Talk Radio. Not television. Ironically, Carvel and the rest of those criminals come across on the radio exactly for what they are: liars, deceitful, dishonest, and corrupt. In other words socialist. voyager2

The great thing about a 'propoganda war' is that it only ends when one side slacks off and gives up. If neither side does that, it can go on forever. And I dunno about you, but I don't see conservatives either slacking off or giving up, President Bush's capitulation to the center notwithstanding.

The terms "left" and "right" ignore the reality that there are three distinct groups of people:
  1. Those who want someone else to care for them.
  2. Those who want to care for themselves.
  3. Those who want to care for (and control) others.
Although the first and third groups are both to the "left" politically, they are in fact polar opposites. An amazingly-well-kept secret in this country is that it is the Democrats, not the Republicans, who are the party of the super-rich and large corporations. Republicans want people to improve themselves; elite Democrats want all the "little people" to stay in their place.
