And conservatives have no one to blame but themselves for not investing their collective efforts in the pop cultural and the greater media experience.' If we do not engage Hollywood in particular and the pop culture in general, then we are in a war of attrition in which America is ultimately lost. If we engage the culture and force the liberals into a war of competing ideologies, then we can defeat them. It has come to that. Period. Money quote:

'Never say no' 'Speak only of possibilities' And I'm sure some other non-threatening platitudes. Something like... "Let the American people go and then we'll help you. We promise we won't let them hurt you." If that doesn't work... game on. To avoid Dhimmi bloodshed at this point we might try dialogue similar to the tactics used in hostage negotiations.
‘Never say no’
‘Speak only of possibilities’
And I’m sure some other non-threatening platitudes.

Something like… “Let the American people go and then we’ll help you. We promise we won’t let them hurt you.”

If that doesn’t work… game on.

Basically show that conservatism isn't just some fat old white guy in a suit. If we get the younger generations we secure conservative dominance for at least the next 30 years. :arrow: Steve

The conservative movement is ripe to grow in today's society if it is seen differently. It should be seen as the movement to embrace and encourage personal responsibility and the good that comes from it. If that can be sold to the mush heads this country may not continue it's slide into a new dark ages in which it is currently headed to. I'll be the blue guy in the corner holding my breath.
