How can culture be reformed or rebuilt when the very basis of thought and action is distorted?

It usually requires a very violent response!

If a Republican official asserted an admiration for Hitler, the outrage would reverberate for months. But a Democrat official asserts an admiration for someone who was an even larger mass murderer and The Emperor says so what?

Typical.

Merely voting a bunch of Democrats out of office in 2010 or 2012 won't solve the problem. See this post by Charles Murray. Murray looked at political self-identification, as recorded in the General Social Survey from 1972 to 2008, for whites aged 30-39 in six demographic segments: Traditional Upper, Intellectual Upper, Traditional Middle, Technical Middle, Working, Lower. For each year and segment, he subtracted the percentage of "conservative" and "extreme conservative" from the percentage of "liberal" and "extreme liberal". In 1972 all segments were in the range +3 to -7. By 2008, all segments had moved right by 3 to 8 points, except Intellectual Upper, which moved 22 points left. IOW, the segment of society which does most of the perceiving and analyzing and communicating (including teaching) has become overwhelmingly leftist. How can culture be reformed or rebuilt when the very basis of thought and action is distorted?

Is there anything else you want to add to this?

Yeah – since you issued a challenge to prove that you were lying about your earlier statements, you suddenly disappeared when said proof was provided ad nauseum. Since you stand exposed as a lying liar and hateful pedo – perv as well, it’s well past time that you don’t show your repugnant arse around here in the future.

#31, yes, I do have something to add. It’s not on your laundry list of straw-men either.

The cowardly Obama sent a women, Anita Dunn, out to his dirty work, he doesn’t want his own fingerprints on something so repugnant to American traditions as a government sponsored program of suppression of dissenting opinion.

That’s what tin-pot dictators in Banana Republics do when they can count on enough useful idiots running interference for them to get away with it. They call contrary opinion a crime against the state, we call it tyranny.

Classical liberalism is, like Churchill remarked elsewhere, the best of the worse possiblesystems. It should have been very clear what Obama was offering, yet the opposition candidate had like the chicken pox version of what was beingoffered, and the one who told the truth, well you know how that went. And even after the election, when the classical liberal case was being propounded, there
was some strong antagonism to that strategy

An Argentine historian, that I know, made the same analogy, he was a big fan of Jonah Goldberg’s’Liberal Fascism’, having lived through a good chunk of that enactment in his country.

The only good thing that can come out of such a debacle is when a good percentage of the limousine liberals of a country, be they in Argentina or the US (Hello, all you overpaid dopes in Hollywood or Wall Street!), get screwed as much as anyone else.

I know one of the ultimate LLs, and a big supporter of Obama, Warren Buffett, at least had enough common sense not long ago to say that — to paraphrase — cap-and-trade, anti-global-warming policymaking was idiotic and would be nothing but a financial burden on the public.

And I can’t help but snicker after learning that another of the US’s line of ultimate limousine liberals, but of the 1930s, and in reference to Franklin Roosevelt (and the supposed savior of this country during the Great Depression) tried to avoid paying the higher taxes that he himself had pushed into existence with the support of a Democrat-dominated Congress.

Lovey? You there? Or did you get too pantsed to show your face? After all, you’ve been so busy showing your nether regions to everyone, I thought I’d help.

Earth calling Lovey. Lovey, are you there?

Oops. Late 19th century, that is.
