While it's not possible to turn the clock back, it is possible to influence things in the direction we want to go, using the incremental approach.<BR/><BR/>It works for anyone who is persistent enough to apply it consistently. Tammy Bruce explained that quite well in her books. Incremental progress could work for conservatives too, if only they would use it.Chashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165615466886851925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15832687.post-78530118068668674802008-12-11T10:17:00.000-08:002008-12-11T10:17:00.000-08:00"The secret: they did it incrementally."That's a k..."The secret: they did it incrementally."<BR/><BR/>That's a key point. And they haven't been doing it incrementally just for the past 5 or 10 years - they've been doing it for decades. Start with Antonio Gramsci (died 1937).<BR/><BR/>There's a three-pronged attack: one, undermine the idea of the family (the welfare state has done much on that front; more recently, the push for homosexual "marriage"); two, undermine religious belief (up till around the early 1900s, we were a country of towns with churches and schools); three, undermine the education system (academia is almost 95% left-liberal - one reason is probably that many of the young demonstrators and anarchists of the 60s have gravitated into tenured professorships (like Ayers and Dohrn)).<BR/><BR/>There are probably others - but they've been going on so long it's hard to notice. It's the old "lobster in the slowly boiling pot" effect.ZZMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16913899667726940233noreply@blogger.com
