This writer is brilliant. And I particularly enjoy the Scarecrow analogy in the associated link. What is particularly amusing is that, in the movie, Scarecrow is stupid and ignorant until receiving a "ThD" degree, whereupon he recites the Pythagorean Theorem. Except, he recites it wrong. Not that most people know, but the script was poorly written and the "theorem" he recites is garbage. In other words, we merely THINK that Scarecrow knows what he is talking about because we have been conditioned by the Elite to believe that anyone with a doctorate is somehow an expert.
And then there is this about the liberal elites:
...even they would have a hard time continuing to pretend that they’re the ones in favor of a “big tent” while busily purging the Republican Party of Sarah Palin...
Here it is in a nutshell: liberal elites who are trying to change the Republican Party hate people like Palin. They hate conservatives. They hate religious Americans. They hate YOU. So, they have created a false argument that, in order to be a "big tent" party, we need to welcome moderates by rejecting the right.
Do you see the inherent flaw here? They want to "build" a "big" tent by... railroading out the people they don't like! We are bigger by being smaller!
Reagan built a big tent, and he did it while staying true to conservative principles. He did it not by rejecting one wing of the Party, but by using character and principles to attract people in from the other side. He grew the Party while keeping it conservative by appealing to moderates and independents through his personal charisma and an honest and hopeful message for a better America.
The liberal elites hate Reagan and everything he stood for. And that is why we must be careful of them today. Rather than water down the Republican Party, we need to make it the proud conservative patriotic American Party it once was again and attract new members by articulating a positive message of limited government and traditional values.
Good post, good links, thanks.
There is, in my opinion, a robustness that comes from honesty. Governor Palin's words have that robustness; her words honestly inform the listener of her intent. Most frighteningly for her detractors, that honesty, that robustness transforms the speaker. It becomes charisma. And, you can't fight charisma.
