The main enemy we're facing now is the indifference, apathy and ignorance of much of the population, including many conservatives. "Moderation" is a much more potent and insidious weapon than those used by leftist ideologues. Using this weapon, conservatives have gradually "moderated" the country down the path to utopia and collapse. The "conservatives" of today are the "liberals" of the mid-20th century and the "socialists" of the early 20th century. While leftist ideologies are no longer taken seriously, pragmatism (as a rejection of ideology, both leftist and rightist) is becoming so mainstream that to even question it is blasphemy. <br />While such life-and-death issues as America's cultural collapse and the government takeover of the economy are on the agenda, some of the conservatives are still wrangling over such absurd issues as creationism and abortion - many of them don't give a damn whether the government will take over every aspect of their life but they do care a lot about the life of fetuses - just because the Bible says so. It is a spectacle perhaps more disgusting than Obama's pontificating bullshit.Reaganxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11767392975509574516noreply@blogger.com
