| Home Front: Culture Wars |
| This Culture War We're In |
| 2015-04-02 |
| How are wars won? To win a war you don't need to kill every soldier on the other side. What you need to do is destroy the other army as an organized force. You destroy the ability of the officers to command and the morale of the men. You destroy their perception of the worth of their side and of their own self-worth. All wars are culture wars. To win you must destroy the values of the other side. (That is one reason why we're losing to Islam no matter how many times we beat them on the battlefield.) You must destroy their sense of purpose and the values instilled in them to break them as an organization. That is what the left has been doing to us. This culture war we're in is slow and subtle. It's not always as loud and as obvious as the counterculture was. The purpose of the counterculture was to shatter the dominant culture. Once that was done, the culture could be slowly cannibalized at will until the counterculture became the culture. And then it was no longer about freedom or free anything, those were the disruptive tools used to drive youth recruitment with a facade of anarchy, and it became about conformity and control. This culture of conformity and control is still being sold as 'rebellious' when it's just the establishment. ...The most important thing to understand about this phase of the culture war is that the left's goal is to break you as an individual, to take away your values and to replace them with their own. If it cannot do these things, it will try to destroy you and even use you as a cautionary tale to warn others. And they're doing a damn fine job of it |

| #17 Enjoy your crap sandwich, America. You'll soon wish you had ordered it with extra mayo. |

#16 "It has no foundation of values." Erm, no. Even animals and plants have values, goals their organism pursues until it's no longer possible. The Left's goals are absolute power, as in:always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — forever. Leftists fantasize they will be wearing the boots. |

| #15 I'm bloody well sick of the kakpack crowd. It's all you get on the tube these days. Not even "Wheel of Fortune" is safe. None of my business what goes on with these people, I just wish they'd just keep it to themselves. |

| #13 Yes, indeed well said JohnQC. The recent bashing of Gov. Pence and Indiana by the left is telling. Their total contempt for 'flyover' and anything remotely conservative is palpable. Walmart's message to the Gov. of Arkansas was also quire revealing. As is so often said here, 'follow the money.' |

| #12 Procopiusék. The founding fatheers had in mlind different shades of Christianism so they thought in basiccallay benevolent religions separated by relatively minor details (for an outsider) but not ion the goals. Had they been confronted to the Aztec religion or to Islam like the Spanards had been First Amendment would be very different. |

| #11 Because of people like you, I shall keep counting muskets and swords. And Pray for a Heart of truth to rush over this Nation like a flood. Nice write-up John QC / all |

| #9 The Marxist don't teach history, just fantasy, and make damn sure no one is aware of real history. Then they wonder why all their plans and programs fall so short if not out right fail. Massachusetts founded by religious 'dissenters' Pennsylvania founded by religious 'dissenters' Maryland founded by religious 'dissenters' Rhode Island founded by religious 'dissenters' of the religious 'dissenters' I'm guessing the Left is looking to relearn the lessons of the 30 Years War. The lessons the Founders took to heart when they enshrined the Religious protection clause of the First Amendment. |

| #8 Greenfield nails it. The left assiduously tries to replace values that have taken eons to develop; values that work to advance civilization. What do they want to replace them with? Nothing of value. Bupkus. What are their tools? Misinformation, propaganda, lies, character assassination, political correctness. Harry Reid, when asked why he lied about Romney said "We won." These people should not be anywhere near the seats of power--they are just friggin evil. The left is a virus. It has no foundation of values. It is based on shifting sands. It feeds off the established culture. When the culture is dead they have nothing to replace the host with. Without our values and culture, we become a bunch of disparate tribes like the Mideast where stoning women, head-lopping enemies, or burning enemies alive is de rigueur. Or we might become a bland, politically-correct organization of apparatchiks and commissars ruled by corruption, payback to enemies, reward to friends, a shut down of debate of ideas or free speech, no religion, no freedom of association, no Constitutional, no individual rights--a corrupticrocacy or idiocracy--whichever best suits description. No thanks. |

| #7 Then it was same sex marriages. Now it is forcing you to actively participate in same sex marriages even if you have deeply held religious beliefs against it. I shudder to think of what's next. |

| #5 Interesting how calling George W. Bush a 'smirking chimp' is acceptable but calling Obama a 'sneering chimp' isn't. |

#4 Typical headline: SANTA FE – A self-described court jester who threw a banana peel and hit comedian Dave Chappelle onstage Monday night insists he’s not a racist and that Chappelle should be able to take a joke. What 'race' are bananas? |

| #3 But full of hope. Cling to your families and organizations, cling to your guns and your bibles, don't surrender to the culture of destruction. |
