It's the Culture Stupid

[adkbuck]

We talk about impeaching people and voting people out of office but we are not being realistic. It's not that easy. The problem isn't with Cuomo or Obama, its with the voters. I understand Cuomo is still very popular with a 70% approval rating. We are not going to get him impeached over the SAFE act. People like Cuomo and Obama are slick spin experts who know how to look good and get votes. They will do or say anything to garner votes. They are pros! The problem is our ever more non-thinking ever-more government dependent electorate who can't see past it all. We have been losing the culture war.

I would like to quote Laura Hollis who I recently heard speak: "Our largest primary social institutions - education, the media, Hollywood (entertainment) have become nothing more than an assembly line for cranking out reliable little Leftists. Futhermore, we have allowed the government to undermine the institutions that instill good character - marriage, the family, communities, schools, our churches."

If we don't reclaim the family their is no hope and we all lose. For instance, take the inner cities where the leftist's like Cuomo get their most votes. Marriage is infrequent and unwed motherhood approches 80%. That trend is increasing even in the suburbs and rural areas. The best thing we can all do is to set an example and influence those around us especially our families. Strengthen the family and reverse the trends. It won't happen overnight but it is the only thing that will save us. I'm not saying not to write our elected officials, school admistrators and the media, but to really make a difference, we need to teach our children, grandchildren and friends not only about wisdom of the Second Amendment and the Constitution but we also need to teach them about the truth about character, respect for life, respect for others, and personal responsibility.

What are you talking about? Offcourse you cant vote an anti trapping lawmaker out of office in NYC, but in other areas a focused sportsmens vote hits hard.

Cant impeach? Why did Spitzer, Patterson others quit? Clinton almost got oustead. Why did Interior director Salzar and USGS director McNutt suddenly "resign" their cabinet level posts this month?

We, not the so-called "protected groups" are the biggest minority in this country - that is true. However, when your in Rome, you do as the Romans do... The baby is born into the family, not the family born into the baby... Maryland and Virginia didnt want DC as a liability- so they severed the cancer. NY, Illinois, and other places can cut out thier respective cancers, NYC, Chicago...

Change, or change back, is possible, but it doesnt come easy.
