Currently, the liberal left controls the presidency, the Congress and a majority of the state's governorships. Also, with the exception Foxnews, they also control the media. Obviously, Hollywood is pretty much controlled by the liberal left. Everyday, President Barrack Obama blames former President Bush and the republicans for the economic problems faced in our cour country. Currently, he has an unprecedented majority of fellow democrats in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Yet, he still feels compelled to complain about the supposed "obstructionist" republicans who block his legislation which often goes against the wishes of the majority of the American people. Besides this, he has a favorable media excluding Foxnews who often make excuses for his obvious shortcomings and even embellish his successes to make him look better. Again, Obama and his administration still feel the need to complain about the dreaded Foxnews because they do not play this game. Finally, Hollywood is controlled entirely by the liberal left. As a result, conservatives are often portrayed as tyrants or evil bigoted people. The small town people(who often are from red districts) are portrayed as racist, ignorant pricks who are ignorant country bumkins. I watched the movie '2012' the other night for the first time. Like the other movie about disaster concerning globlal warming 'The Day after Tomorrow', this film had an ignorant, bullying conservative played by Oliver Platt. Fortunately, both of these men in the two movies respectively were straightened out somewhat and learned to be more open-minded for the "betterment of man". Obviously, the first year and a half of President Obama's presidency has not gone well. Yes, he has passed major legislation, but it was passed because of the large majorities he his political parties had in the House of Representatives and the Senate. Unfortunately, most of the bills passed went against public sentiment. The overhaul of Health Care was very unpopular and his pushing this legislation through bordered on abuse of power.
Conservatism in its pure form is successful everytime its tried. It is successful because its focus is on following the rules and respecting other people, but sometimes there is need to criticize. The second part of my definition is where the problem is for promoting criticism. Here is a biblical verse from 2 Timothy 4- "1 In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: 2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. 3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. 5 But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry." Obviously, this quote being from the Bible will automatically be rejected by the liberal elitist and mainstream media despite its wisdom. If this verse came from the quaran or the buddha book, the liberal elitists and the mainstream media might take this verse more seriously-still unlikely, however. Sometimes conservatives need to take a stand against the everyday thinking that is popular. For example, I understand the plight of the African American and atrocity of slavery. Also, I understand the original thinking about giving African American people help in the form of affirmative action and welfare privileges. However, this help has become an entitlement and needs to be phased out. Unfortunately, the African American neighborhoods are worse off than when these assistance programs based purely on race began. Gains have been made socially, but will never be at an acceptable level either way as long as we have a liberal race baiting media and a leftist Hollywood. The truth is that conservatism will lead the way to a better life everyone especially African Americans. Subsequently, feelings need to be hurt to do this. I call it 'tough love', liberals call it racism. Economically, tax cuts work everytime they are tried. The supposed "horrible" Bush tax cuts will expire at the end of this year, but many democrats are NOW AFRAID to let these tax cuts expire?http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,2005389,00.html If these tax cuts are so bad, why are they so scared to let them expire? The truth is blaming Bush for for the bad economy because of the tax cuts was very effective for the deomocrats in the 2008 surge to victory. However, the reality was the tax cuts helped the economy and play no part whatsoever in the economic downfall. Its this type of TRUTH that really has the democrats panicked. The key to democrat victory is and has always been to distort reality and paint your opponent as evil or off the wall-the truth be damned. The major fears the democrats have is that when the overwhelming of the public realizes that conservatism is clearly better than liberalism by large margins, the democrat party will become extinct at least in the form it is now.
