The Reactionaries Speak » Reagan http://thereactionariesspeak.com History affords us many instances of the ruin of states, by the prosecution of measures ill suited to the temper and genius of their people. The ordaining of laws in favor of one part of the nation, to the prejudice and oppression of another, is certainly -Benjamin Franklin- Sat, 28 Aug 2010 17:52:58 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 A Way Back To Sanity http://thereactionariesspeak.com/2009/09/a-way-back-to-sanity/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed http://thereactionariesspeak.com/2009/09/a-way-back-to-sanity/#comments Fri, 25 Sep 2009 16:48:53 +0000 minneapolis mike http://thereactionariesspeak.com/?p=460

From Real Clear Politics

Henry Olsen has an article that bears looking at. Find it here.

It lays out what ha happened in the past, and what needs to be done in the future to ensure the current lurch to the left is a blip on the screen of history, much like the failed Presidency of Jimmy Carter.

It is important to learn from the past, from both victories and defeats. The liberals understand that in order to perpetuate their agenda, they need to control the voting blocks of the urban dwellers, traditionally those under the thumb of the welfare state, beholden to the purveyors of the crack that has corrupted generations now. The crack of the Great Society experiment, the crack of the entitlement idea, the crack of vicitmhood. These are a few the linchpins of the Democrats system of control. Others include keeping the population concentrated in the urban areas. The concept of property ownership is something that needs to be beaten down by the Dem’s in order to keep the populous dependent. When people aspire towards ownership, the liberals lose a powerful ally in their fight for control. I’m not talking about the ACORN or CRA methods of ownership either. I’m talking about working for it, and what comes from seeing that dream realised, pride in self.

As is becoming clear, self esteem cannot be given to someone, it must be earned by doing esteem-able things. We have 2-3 generations of namby-pamby little wusses on our hands who have not had to work to achieve anything at all. Like I have been told many times, a little suffering is good for the soul.

It’s time to lay a little suffering on the liberals

10 minutes of pure gold from the Great Communicator about what we face today. Listen to it more than once, and see that the left totally blows chunks at coming up with something new.
