Thanks for the posting this interview BFH. I’m casting about now looking for methods of mental escapism and to that end watched Jimmy Stewart in “The FBI Story” last night. I was curious about the facts of the bombing of the airplane carried out by a disgruntled son who wanted to kill his mother and collect on her insurance. That took me to Wikipedia and then I looked up a link to the story in “Life” magazine published in 1955. The whole magazine is online. I think some of you will be surprised by the contents. There’s stories about the D’s and R’s and an advert with George Romney for American Motors. Every generation has its troubles, but I wish I could time travel back to the ’50s. Things *were* simpler then. Check out the article about American conservatives and how they sought to get their message out.

Oh, and “The FBI Story” is worth watching, too.

i need a reason to not react, but I dont see a future.
this has never been the case for me, i have always been able to look forward and make adjustments for the problems I couldn’t overcome or get around. But now I dont see a future, I dont have a way forward.
and, to quote the big bang theory, future generations will condemn you for not having presented me with a less … . . . . messy way to express myself.

I dont feel good and dont expect too any time soon.

“Take back the culture.” I think one of our hopes with the election of Mitt Romney was that we would see something we could generally count on, the pendulum swinging back in the other direction; that our culture would see a recovery of basic virtue and decency as well as a recovery of our economic situation. Alas, I think most of my grief comes from loss of the former. We’re at that point now, it seems apparent, that even if people understand the basic difference between right and wrong, they don’t tie it to the political or the economic. Society’s culture is unhitched from the things that gave rise to it. It’s a force of its own operating in the world under its own power.

Spencer’s comment that conservatives are too willing to shun one of its member groups (usually over nits) leaves us atomized and impotent. Suppose someone were to come up with the basic tenets of conservatism with which all conservatives could agree? Using that as our basis, and leaving out anything else that would cause bashing each other over the head with the oars in our leaky life boat, could we create a Congress of the conservative movement that can more swiftly respond to this crisis of culture?

It doesn’t need to take 30-60 years to change this.

I’ve long appreciated Robert’s insightful, well-reasoned (and researched) views on Islam, and was glad to hear his take on our present, er, national “predicament”.

Get the kids, I say.

- Make cool cartoons
- Make TV shows (even just for YouTube) of attractive, cool people
- Make propaganda
- Become a teacher
- Indoctrinate your own children with every breath

BONUS:
Encourage every liberal to have a gay marriage, use birth control always, and if pregnant, abort every child. We will simply out-breed them in one generation.
**OK I was kidding about the abortions, but can you see what they have set themselves up for?

good interview with Mr. Spencer

I have been calmed, a bit, by stuff by rational still-in-the-fight words this week after the stolen ‘election’ put the illegal usurper back in the hen house…

hard to get ‘people’ to care when they have their free iPhones and whatevs

keep up the great work here at IOTW

you inspire

It’s over. We’re done. We ain’t taking back nothing.

Anon: Forward is a perfectly good English word. It bothers me how many people here use the eff word like it is normal. It ain’t.

I agree Joe. We use elf words like they’re normal, but I bet not one of us actually speaks Elvish! I even saw someone writing in Gobbledygook right after the selection… Like there are any Goblins at IOTW!!! The nerve of some people.

While I agree with Spencer’s premise, I despair of the chances of turning things around.

He’s right…since the 1950′s, the left methodically infiltrated ALL elements of the culture, and have now a brainwashed, malleable electorate.

Have any of you actually tried to have a conversation with anybody under 35 lately?
Following the election, I was horrified to learn than a young member of my family voted for the Won. And this person actually said that he thinks he is the “lesser of the two evils”.
He’s totally bought into the so-called “social” issues platform…healthcare, women’s issues, “green” energy, etc. And the scary thing is that this guy’s off-the-charts intelligent.

I said something snarky like, “Well, I hope it’s a comfort to you when your kids college funds have been stolen by these bastards.”

The young voters were brainwashed in grade, jr high, and high school, then in college by the uberleft communists which have infiltrated every nitch of our education systems. There is no hope, for the young think the WON will provide for them from now till the grave….with what you ask? they dont care, he is their Mommy and Daddy now, even though he has forgotten every promise he made or will make now that the WON is in…for keeps. When they finally awaken to this, it will be too late. They are truly the LOST GENERATION for all eternity. They earned that by supporting the WON rather than thinking with their own brains.

This civilization deserve a reset,
and it would come,with us or over us.
