WWS/168:

I’ve finally won the global warming argument with 3 “true believer” relatives.

That’s 2 extended family members better than me on AGW. Congratulations.

But don’t shoot too high on these conversion efforts – realize, politically, that the *best* possible case for former leftists may be that they simply become so disgusted with politics that they never vote and never contribute to anyone again.

Normally good advice, but hell, don’t tell a man on the front lines to retreat.

One of the reasons urbanites, even those in the middle class, vote in large numbers for the Left really seems to be something akin to Stockholm syndrome. The urbanite still believes s/he’s liberal even as his candidates are openly fascist, or conservative and his candidates prove to be worse than merely spineless. Demonstrated inconsistency are met with everything from shifts in subject to violent denials, and only conceded in the manner you describe — “I don’t want to talk about it!”

Voter fraud is close to a sacrament here, committed by radicals who use illegal aliens, protected by Incrementals who claim any crackdown is racist (Dems) or could appear to be (GOP). Nobody should forget how over-the-top both Schwarzennegger and GWBush reacted to the Orange County GOP candidate who ran against Loretta Sanchez’s voter roll padding. We will never get a super-majority of any sort of conservative movement as long as the Sinisters can steal large blocs of congressional seats.

What is that [Proper name] rule that any institution not conservatively anchored must eventually turn Left? Giving up on large areas of the country WILL sustain that rule for sure, and today’s win will be but another forestalling of the inevitable end of this great republic.
