Unc Says "We're Not Winning"

I'll have more to say on this later tonight.

In this post ("we" as in small government, leave me the hell alone libertarian types)

I can't help but agree. I wish I could have the optimism I see from from Kim & Sebastian's quotes, but I don't. Chalk that up to being a realist, or better yet to genetics and upbringing. I'd rather not admit it, but I agree with Tam on this one guys. It echoes my post from just a few days ago.

Here's Tam's take on things.

"I think the big difference between our points of view is that you haven’t given up the fight, while I have. I just don’t see even a tiny plurality of human beings that give a crap about freedom. They want to be led. They want free stuff. They want to tell other people what to do. They’d rather watch American Idol than read a book. And they outnumber me by a thousand to one. And I’ve come to the dawning realization over the past years that I’m the abnormal one."

I agree, we're vastly outnumbered. We're also seriously screwed, since our education system, politicians, and the media teach obviously anti-libertarian viewpoints. Education is the key, and we're losing on that front. The problem is that the media is in large part in bed with government. Most major media outlets (save foxnews, who are just as bad on the other end) will parrot big government, liberal talking points without even an attempt at fact checking or objectivity. (just look at most gun control pieces)

I remember reading Sensing's quote over at Kevin's It's sad, but the cynic in me thinks it's likely accurate. It may not happen in my generation, but I see the U.S.A. going the way of the UK and other Socialist Democracies in the future. That's downright scary, but it's useless trying to tell the masses that what they're clamoring towards just ain't what it seems. I'll keep writing my thoughts here, and try to educate those I care about. As far as everyone else, well you can't educate the happily and willfully ignorant.
