Stop blaming the Supreme Court and start looking ourselves in the mirror. The path forward is clear . . . until we regain control of the education of our kids and clean out the progressive influence throughout it we are screwed.
Young conservatives out there . . . major in education and become teachers
Conservative Parents . . . volunteer for the PTA and infiltrate the younger grade apparatus
Republican governors . . imitate Walker and start to take on tenure
Run for school boards all over the place and reject the leftist textbooks.
Focus on secular conservative ideas to start. Shoving religious dogma will not work at first. You need to inculcate liberty, freedom and personal responsibility in the educational materials first. it's time to utilize Alinsky on our side. Pick a simple target and go after at. For example, call this president a crook for his real estate deal with Rezko and for Michelle's salary tripling because of an earmark when Obama was in the Senate. Repeat it 10 million times until EVERYONE you know also knows it.
Talk about nothing else.
Stop sitting on our asses and complain because we didn't get our way or wait for Jesus to reappear. The other side did all the heavy lifting the last 30 years and look where we are now.
It doesn't matter if our ideas are superior if we don't fight for them.
too late
even if you are a volunteer, on the PTA or school board
You will never stop the leftist control of education
Well said...
Thus speaks a “Let’s work w/in the “SYSTEM”” DUMBASS! THE GD “SYSTEM” IS RIGGED NOW! YOU “work” W/in the “system” I WANT TO DESTROY “IT” and NUKE IT FROM orbit!
The only real alternative now is to consider immigration to a more sane country.
We deserve whatever wrath God has in store for us. Not just the Leftists and the homos, but those of us who sat smugly by, feeling superior on our moral high ground. We did nothing, and we're gonna pay for it.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
That’s because education is full of leftists. Difficult, but not impossible to change. For the first steps, see Wisconsin.
It is far easier to keep your neighborhood than it is to take it back.
You destroy it from within . . . save your dumbass comment for others.
The Left did not destroy us, they outworked us within the system . . .
It’s not either / or.
We tried the ballot box in 2010 & 2014...that really turned out well, hasn’t it?
College administration is another very good target.
Ignore the whiny naysayers who cry all the time. We would be better served if we handed them over to the democrats so they can drag them down instead of clinging to our ankles.
Not going to change, ever
Abbott appointed a home schooler to the board of education but that won’t change anything.
FTSC!
The system is so totally corrupt that it has to implode and something else replace.
No more platitudes about working within the system. I’m ignoring it and the g’ment.
Far... far too late. We do not have the forty plus years it took the Progressives to do this. We frogs are in boiling water now.
That’s why we need to get our hands on the apparatus . . . because voting isn’t enough
I remember the “Establishment” of the sixties telling the leftist radicals of that generation: “if you want to change the system, work within the system for change.” Boy, did they ever listen and this is what we got. Another grassroots change within the system is necessary. I don’t, however think we have the luxury of time for the kind of change we desperately need.
Can we blame ourselves for the Supreme Court?
Admittedly it is rather annoying that so many on our side keep thinking that Jesus exists to sweep in and save us from our screw-ups and laziness.
The truth is that our side does not fight like the left and just wants the easy win. We dont want to get dirty, we just want to buy lots of guns and thump our chests. We dont want to show up to rallies and marches, we just want to talk about how we are too busy or we have to take kids to soccer practice. We show up to elections, but then we dont show up to the front door of those people and make sure they do their jobs. We dont make our presence felt in the media, we just think AM talk radio will have us covered.
Conservatism is the lazy man’s political philosophy. We just assume that the Constitution is so clear, that it will maintain itself, and then act dumbstruck when it is easily violated.
Unfortunately, the only way for things to get better is for a war, bringing a vast vast amount of bloodshed. Nothing else will turn this back, and nothing else will get the Left to stop. No nation on earth, including ours, has ever removed evil or authoritarianism in any other way.
