The "Culture War" has been going on for nearly 40 years. I fought for what I thought were American values and what was morally right for much of my working life. What I found to be the main problem was that most Americans were so convinced of the correctness of their position that they did nothing to stop the fringe groups when they first started pushing agendas.

Now when headline after headline defies all reason and logic people are wringing their hands. All I want to know is where the hell were you 40 years ago? Apathy lost this fight and it was assisted by those too busy to take the time to stand up and be counted.

The "Culture War" wasn't won by the plaintiffs. It was forfeited by those who claim most to be moral. And they were helped in large part by churches that wanted no part of getting embroiled in controversial issues which might cost them a buck.

Shame on us! Shame on all of us!

JR, the problem is that Progressives infiltrate all organizations. I could start a conservative non profit today, and within 5 years the progs will get in there somehow.

JR, the problem is that Progressives infiltrate all organizations. I could start a conservative non profit today, and within 5 years the progs will get in there somehow.

Nope, I lived it. The problem was total apathy when it came to putting resources into legal fights. Nobody wanted to put their money where their mouth was. In a Republic, and that is what we are, if you aren't involved in the legal process and the legislative process, if you don't display the political power of your side then you are toast.

To give the progressives some kudos, they put the time and sweat into their push. And initially they had some very valid issues to push. The problem was for those with more traditional views is that while we understood their initial agenda with equal pay for equal work, proper representation, civil rights, and labor laws, we went to sleep at the wheel over the truly fringe issues. That silence to politicians may have well have been consent. When organizations that were expected to voice opposition to some of the more fringe elements remained silent, in part over LBJ's Senatorial legislation (early to mid 50's) relating to non profit tax exempt status as it pertains to expressing a political agenda, there was no structure around which to build opposition. Face it. If your church or synagogue won't stand with you then you appear to be only a disorganized and disgruntled rabble.

I meant what I said. It was silence from all quarters except for the evangelical right which as always took their stances so far right, mostly to garner donations, that they lost the support of the secular people who probably would have sided with them if their opposition had remained focused on the particular issue at hand.

The same lack of focus still plagues the Right today. They always tend to turn a single issue into a soapbox for blasting everything they don't like. You don't win political battles that way.

But even if they had kept a focus and had rallied the center, particularly the secular center, it would have been tough to maintain any kind of constant effort to keep the struggle up long enough to win. The apathy in this country is just too pervasive to sustain any time consuming struggle. So the Left wins by being relentless.

Where the left is vulnerable is precisely now. They have gotten so outrageous in their claims and in what they have forced upon the mainstream public that it wouldn't take as much now to start reversing some of this. But it will take a honed focus on what to attack, a constant drumbeat of information before the public, and that costs money, requires volunteers, and needs boots on the ground in areas where the vote would be contested.

The middle class is having to work too long and hard to find enough folks to push that on a volunteer basis, the cost of living has risen against incomes by incremental but steady advances so you can't count on their donations either.

The Left by comparison can garner outside contributions by those with a desire to undermine the nature of our freedoms and to create social chaos. They have plenty of unemployed volunteers most of who are subsidized by those with the agenda.

Many of the demonstrations are just paid protesters. I know I've been there too, just not on their side.

So shame on us is what I said and what I meant. If we don't defend our way of life on the minutest of fronts, then we won't defend our way of life against the mid-level or high level threats either. And that's where we are and anything else that is said about it is either excuse making or a defeatist take on things.

If progressives can infiltrate and subvert a non profit it is because we aren't equally dedicated and vigilant.

I wonder if I can join the girl scouts if I self identify as a girl, not a woman mind you, but a girl. Never mind my age or the appendages that suggest otherwise.

No longer the Boy Scouts. I wouldn't send my daughter, or son, into that.

So now, instead of the Boy Scouts, we'll just call it the "Scouts." Really, what's the big effing deal. Ya'll don't like girls? Well guess what, they're here to stay, and no longer just in the kitchen. You're gonna have to learn to deal with it.
