"The battle between Obama and the Republicans is a sad and pitiful contest for the same reason that a baseball game in which one side plays by the rules and the other one races the bases in motorcycles and shoots the balls over the fence with an RPG.
Ted Cruz has come the closest to understanding that the other side just doesn't play by any rules, but lacks the leverage to make much of that. Cruz is still a product of a system in which there are rules. And that system is as unfit for challenging the left-wing radicals running things as trying to play a game of chess against an opponent who feels like moving the pieces any which way he feels like and always claims to have won..."
I've been thinking about this for a while. How on earth did conservatism get reframed as radical? How did we let that happen? And, how is the illusion maintained?

Leftist Academia, Leftist Media along with their political puppets and Liberalism in the Church (all denominations) have steered the thinking of the mind-numbed mush heads so far to the left that truth and righteousness have become evil radicalism.
And yes, we let it happen.

I have had far too much free time to research the answer to that question.
I have come to the conclusion that we are witnessing the results of the efforts of the Fabian School and its heirs the Cultural Marxists to supplant our traditional culture and morals and condition the population to accept global governance by unelected bureaucrats/technocrats. It has been a slow insidious campaign spanning generations requiring the corruption of our major institutions including the educational system, the media, large corporate like religious institutions.
IMHO free enterprise and capitalism have been replaced by crony capitalism / corporatism / fascism. We now have the pretense of private ownership or property while in reality ownership and use of private property is contingent upon a myriad of government regulations, fees, taxes, licenses, etc.
The enemy within has been very successful in creating a story for the ‘left’ about economic, social, educational, and environmental ‘justice’, 'sustainability', 'concensus' and a story for the ‘right’ about ‘free trade’, 'comparative advantage', free movement of goods and natural persons, jobs american can't / won't do, and short term 'profits uber alles' with no reference to patriotism or morality. Both stories lead to the same place - destruction of the American economy, security, traditional culture, values and its pesky middle class under the tyranny of global communism.
The 'left' call themselves progressives and put a D after their names; the 'right' call themselves compassionate conservatives and put an R after their names. In reality the left and the right are one and the same. Only the window dressing is different. The right will do behind your back what the left does in your face. Neither side wants a strong sovereign United States.

Exactly. And, we need to keep in mind that everything our resident in chief does is to that end. Not incompetence or lack of experience. That's not what we are seeing.
