Very interesting day

 

What made it most interesting is the new sources of information. Although, it is new, it will grow stale pretty soon, I suspect.

Why? There's a phenomenon at work here that will keep us down until we figure it out and beat it. That phenomenon is a rather persistent tendency amongst the so-called conservatives to keep preaching to the choir.

You won't win over many people by concentrating your message on people who already agree with you. That seems to be what the conservatives are doing.

I think for all intents and purposes, the so-called conservatives are winning that fight, but are losing the fight that counts, which is at the point of decision. The point of decision is where the votes are counted, and the laws are made. We are losing the culture because of that---not because the public finds liberalism so appealing.

Why this is true, I cannot tell you. For if I could put my finger on it, maybe the idea could spread around and make a difference. Perhaps in that last sentence, there's a truth which evades most everybody. The truth is this question: What motivates people?

Why do you support traditional America, if that is what you truly believe? Why indeed. If you do such a poor job of it, then you should be distressed that you aren't getting results that you ought to believe are rightfully yours. If we are right, then why don't we win? Why keep going back to the same things that haven't worked?

Could it be that the biggest frauds are the ones in the very heart of us? We need to purge the dishonesty out of ourselves before we have any chance of getting others to follow suit.
