The liberal/progressive strength: Why the socialists are winning the conflict.

“Meet me on the battlefield of ideas”

This quote, attributed to the great George Washington, is the reason the liberal progressives are winning the struggle for our country. They have retained the fact that socialism is an ideal, a philosophy, and it is spread from person to person and they have never missed a chance to spread this ideal to any and all that would listen.

It is easy to see that constitutional Americans have forgotten that they are fighting a battle of ideas; because, we have allowed the battlefield to be completely taken by the opposing side. While we have focused our efforts on political action, the other side has focused their efforts on saturating the education system and the television and movie industries with their ideals. The true battlefields of idea in our country are the institutions that educate the young and the industries that bombard our citizens with ideas twenty-four hours a day.

If we are ever going to win this conflict we have to get back into the battle of education and ideas. We have to start taking every opportunity to teach anyone that will listen the philosophies of self-government, free market capitalism and what a social contract system is, ideals almost no one can explain anymore. If we get back into the fray in these fields, the political field will work itself out.
