Obama will be using government funded Stormtrooper like Acorn in the next election.

The big youth bulge will not be a factor in the next election.

A lot of these people will be out in the real world. That changes things considerably.

Much is based upon the success of the Obama campaign. Ooh, look how well he did with it. (gush) It’s grossly overstated. We never got the details of whence the money actually came. Indications are that it came from overseas donors in contravention of the law. The claim that it came from all the small donors is just a smokescreen.

Further, election data shows that the youth vote was pretty much the same as it ever was, despite all the media-hyped projections. So, if you want to get all a-twitter (pun intended) about the new tech, go ahead, but know that it really always comes down to demographics. Always.

I can, however, think of many uses for it, mostly in identifying our group. The Get Out The Vote potential is huge. Talking points. Arguments supplemented by raw info. Other equipment for the troops. Fundraising. But it is not a panacea. In the end, one has to educate the majority who vote, that is, the over-30 crowd.

We need to find a way to reach them, and to reach them with a message they can hear. It mustn’t be drowned out in the vast sea of other info (and spin). I’m thinking a daily blip:

Maybe a cartoon or joke;

Maybe, a thought-provoking self-answering question. They need to be taught to see through the lies this way; to learn critical thinking;

It needs to not take much time, but something they look forward to each day;

Perhaps some quote from some great speech or article that enunciates a conservative principle.

Baby steps. Pithy enough to appeal to their limited tolerance/time for the info. Eventually, make the info slightly greater; a little more depth. Make it something they want to share. Humor is the best thing. It’s more eagerly received, and the Left is notorious for not being able to tolerate humor directed against them.

Hmm, think I’ll apply for Michael Steele’s aide job.

We must teach children that when they take care of themselves and their families and see that they are safe, secure and have decent and moral lives then that is charity enough, more than enough. Only the extremely gifted add more to the wide world, and then only if they are lucky.

Taking care of your and those close to you is the best that you can do for the world, provided that you do this with morality and deceny. In very real sense it is all most of us can can do that has any real effect.

I think it comes down to “resilient communities”. I think we need to make our lives as independent as we can from the national/global Leftist Established hooks, snares. grips traps and levers. We should do this at the same time we try to take down the Left’s power structures and reshape the regional, national and global political mess that the Left as put us in.

This may all seem at counter purposes or counter intuitive, but it is not. We need an save place, and “Empire of the Hearth” as a haven; let us win this battle first and then from this place we can then march to the larger war. (note: I do not mean this “Hearth” in any Feminist sense at all, it is just a metaphor, and when I say communities, i am not talking about communist soap operas like “Habitat for Humanity” I am talking about getting youself and those around you as independent–and as politically shrewd–possible.)

So our communities should be resilent–independent and self-supporting as we can make them. Resilient spiritually, humanly and economically. Let us not ship of our cash to the enemy if we can help it (but break no laws). Let us not send off our children to the enemy, if we can. Only send them to battle, send them to fight, not to be co-opted. Let us let them take our children from us anymore. Let us cleave toward one another and what is good in us.

So the examples that you want to give them are in the community, they are close at hand, not on the TV, not on myspace. They can be reflected by media, but they are close to the bone. As close as a good dog, or an old friend. Media, social or otherwise, cannot gives us this.

Your examples need be close to hand, and they are there:

They are the local Veteran, the local business man, the local farmer, the local teacher (if we can find one that is not corrupt), the housewife. The good father free of Leftist cant.

They are the “Heroes of the Ordinary”, the Sons (and Daughters) of Martha.

But there are Sons of Mary too. There are Dreamer and Artists too.

They are there, quiet, but there. If not, then let us create them in ourselves and in our communities.

In the end this is a battle of the spirit made flesh in culture, action and belief.

Our enemy thinks that man is just an animal. SO THEN, how can we possibly lose the battle?

A lack of love and faith and respect. Let us look close to home for that is where these things live.

I would add another thought to your points 1-5. In order to shift the culture from “socialism/government is cool” to “capitalism/individual responsibility is cool” we should be thinking how we can encourage young people to see the light.

Our society rewards young people who volunteer to paint a house, who set up a program to provide blankets to homeless people, who round up cans of food for the food bank. THAT IS GREAT, NECESSARY, COMMENDABLE.

However, we ALSO need MORE programs that focus on rewarding youth who help struggling families learn how to build things (not just building the house for them), to take care of themselves for the long term. We have to teach a different way of thinking. Programs like junior achievement, where adults work with youths to develop viable businesses – every one of us should be working with organizations like that. The feeling a child gets from doing things for himself is long-lasting. We, as a party, need to “capitalize” on that feeling. Every school needs a corporate sponsor that works to develop programs teaching these principles. Every PTA needs a parent promoting these concepts. And so on.
