The Leftist Progressives are good at certain things, which Conservatives ignore at our own peril. But conservatives have a few assets of our own, which we often fail to employ.

Always enjoy these conversations. This is particularly good. Self-examination is always difficult but also tremendously important in any form of improvement.
When Jesus was describing what type of people would not gain entrance to heaven, I find it interesting that cowards were first on the list.
As long as they can parrot the approved narrative, they appear strong. Just like gangs appear strong. They’re really conditioned to be stubborn which is definitely not the same thing. Once you challenge their narrative one-on-one, they pull themselves into their shell.
Love these free ranging discussions Bill. Would just love to see Zo in a room with Jordan Peterson if only to see how Mr. Peterson would react to Zo.
I can’t wait to see the “weaknesses” episode because our strengths, while important, are not where the adversary attacks us. The Left has become masters at using the weaknesses of Conservative America against us.
This is not a remarkable or new kind of situation. You must always attack your enemy at his weak points. That is both strategically and tactically sound doctrine in a conflict.
The problem we have in this regard is that many American Conservatives don’t understand the doctrines of conflict. I see people, on my side whom I want to succeed, going at our foes strong points and failing, then excusing that failure because “they did the right thing”.
This is a failure on the part of such people to grasp a concept my Dad taught me at my earliest recollections. You can be right and you can be so right that you’re Dead Right.
For example, and I’ve used this before in case it sounds familiar …
You’re driving down a street, there’s a green light in the intersection directly ahead of you. It just turned green while you were watching it. You know it will be green as you transit the intersection. You have every right to cross that intersection and any traffic from the intersecting streets has to stop.
So you don’t bother to look both ways as you approach the intersection and a driver who didn’t see or didn’t care about his red light T-Bone’s you and your car sustains expensive damage, you are badly injured or you die.
But hey … You were in the right. In fact you are now Dead Right.
The parallels to Leftist tactics are unmistakable. In fact, they like to eat their own as much as they like to hurt you so they will intentionally send someone into that intersection to take you out. If they don’t have a willing stooge they’ll use whatever opportunity avails itself.
Like using the overdose induced death of a career criminal fentanyl addict who charitably happened to kill himself in a cinematically favorable manner while a police officer was trying to hold him down because he was violent.
They used that one instance to burn cities and spark off a crime wave like this nation has not seen in decades. They used that to remove police services and blame the police for failure to combat crime. They used in-place agents in the form of Soros funded prosecutors as a force multiplier to add to their intended effect.
Because they control the narrative through a largely corrupt media they sold that as justice. For something that does not exist, namely systemic racism in America.
That they were largely successful in all of that is due to their ability to use our own weaknesses against us. Righteous people do not like being called out as evil. Racially indifferent people do not like to be called racists. Honest people do not look for lies, they assume as they know “honesty is the best policy” then everyone else knows that and tells the truth. Law abiding people do not like having the law turned against them, even when it is clear that legal justice should be on their side but is not.
When any Conservative leadership person buckles to those tactics, it hurts all of us. People like Liz Cheney, Pat Toomey and their ilk need to go. ASAP.
You know them by their fruits and their fruits are rotten to the pit. Every so-called Republican that voted to impeach Donald Trump tipped their hand and told us what they were all about. We all know there was no cause in any of the THREE impeachment-grade attempts levelled at Donald Trump.
The Russia Hoax was a bald-faced lie and an outright coup attempt.
Trump not only did nothing illegal regarding the Ukraine, he did nothing wrong either.
Trump did not instigate or support the relatively small number of idiots who got suckered into what the Left now labels as “The January 6th Insurrection”. Shit, it wasn’t even an insurrection and the only person who died was an unthreatening patriot woman who made the mistake of being the first person through a broken window.
If we know this already, then so do the 10 House Republicans and the seven GOP Senators that voted to convict Donald Trump of impeachment.
There’s a lot about Donald Trump that I do not like on a personal level. There’s a lot more about him that I do like on a policy and national interests level. I don’t think Donald Trump did a very good job as a person but as a President I was, and still am, happy to vote for him twice.
I do not belong to the Cult of Trump. I do not think Donald Trump could do no wrong. I think Donald Trump is a flawed human being like the rest of us. I think if Donald Trump had channeled more Ronald Reagan and less New York Playboy he might still be POTUS in spite of the dirty tricks the Left pulled out of their hats in the last election. Because I think, unintentionally and in fact with the best intentions, Donald Trump did not realize he was giving the opposition exactly the sort of weakness they are armed for and poised to attack against.
We need to learn our lessons, all of them including the ones that we don’t like and don’t want to learn, if we’re going to win this. I’m not talking about Trump’s “mean tweets” or any of that rubbish here either. I actually liked most of that.
I’m talking about another lesson my Dad taught me of the same caliber as being “Dead Right”. Which is …
“It is possible to call a man an asshole in such a way that he will like it and thank you.”
Because even if calling someone that makes you his enemy, he cannot point to what you said to justify his enmity towards you and use it against you. You have nullified a strength of his and shielded a weakness of yours in doing so.
Ronald Reagan was a master at that. He was so good at it that he managed to get himself elected to a second term as POTUS. Despite the venom and vituperance of the Left brought to bear against him and they hated Ronny with a passion every bit as dark and angry as their hate for Trump.. Ronnie didn’t give them ammunition to use in their own strength against Conservative weakness.
Ronald Reagan didn’t get down in the mud and roll around with the swine. Swine are the masters of the mud pit. Ronnie knew perfectly well that “wrestling with a pig just gets you filthy and the pig likes it”.
He LAUGHED at them and that hurt them more than any sort of argument ever would. The biggest vulnerability of the left is mocking laughter. If you want to shut them up, if you really want to hurt them, laugh at the obvious, undeniable stupidity of their policies. Don’t argue their points with them, that’s like peeling an infinite onion and they know how to deal with that. Once you expose a lie, they just fall back to the next lie and they never run out of lies.
That’s the thing about liars, they can invent anything they want if they think it will win an argument. That’s a strength to people whom honesty and truth are simply irritating impediments to be overcome.
So don’t argue with them, laugh at them like Ronald Reagan did.
That’s a lesson, in all his life experience and all his business background that Donald Trump seems never to have learned and it’s an important one if you want to succeed. As it turned out, that was also Donald Trump’s Achilles Heel. It made it way, way too easy to lie about him.
Campaigns. The left is full of campaigns to demoralize us: Women aren’t equal. Being a man is bad. America is systemically racist and homophobic. The weather, which we can’t yet predict with complete accuracy, is evidence we’re destroying the planet. Petroleum products are evil. Parents aren’t capable of making school choices or educating their own children or supervising their education. People are going hungry. The unvaccinated are killing us all.
Free your mind, and your butt will follow.
You talk about being a servant… I don’t think the left would ever understand the concept of the servant-leader that is now practiced in much of the military.
