I wouldn’t attribute it all to laziness. Conservatives just aren’t programmed to use government in the same way as liberals.
This is a small, and maybe not relevant example, but look at gun control efforts after a massacre. Its obscene to be pushing an agenda, using a pile of dead bodies as a base. Conservatives just flat would never do that. And we generally are squeamish about leveling false character charges (like the liberals do with ‘hate’, ‘racism’, etc.) in order to push an agenda.
Really, I don’t know of anything a liberal wouldn’t do to push an agenda. Its all ends justifying the means with them. Its no holds barred, go for the neck, constantly.
Yes we have a lot of work to do, and have to be less afraid to get ‘dirty’...I just don’t think its all laziness.
Well said. Plus, the left is Alinskying the American people every day. Only 20% of Americans identify themselves as liberals while twice as many identify themselves as conservatives.
Problem is, liberals dominate many of places of influence including most importantly, the media, even at the local levels, being a big part of that. Part of Alinsky is looking like you are a bigger force than you really are. The medias and their minions do a very good job of this. The answer is to stop patronizing their advertisers and let the avertisers understand why. In the long run, the statism the left represents today is damaging to those businesses as more and more big government hurts free enterprise. Many medias do not have their advertisers best interest at heart but they are willing to take their money. We also need to get the whole media establishment out of the control of just a few boardrooms. The medias can be defeated in this country if more and more people realize they are nothing but propaganda outlets for the left and hurt them where it really counts.
I realized the local medias are the enemies of our freedoms and liberties the day they treated the death of the evil George Tiller as a martyr and a saint to their cause. I haven’t patronized their advertisers since.
