I love my critics.
I love waking up on a given day and reading that I have been mercilessly attacked by a liberal. I love that fact and I love the free exchange of ideas. Our nation was founded on it and it is the lifeblood of our society.
I particularly love it when my critics decide that my opinion is too radical or shouldn't be heard. It puts a very fine point on an old debate: Liberals are allowed to call conservatives racist, homophobic xenophobes, but don't you dare criticize a liberal or it's all over.
In the debate of ideas, I represent a real fear to liberals across this campus. As John Prince articulated, I really scare them to death. I possess the single most destructive element to the liberal indoctrination that they have been trying to instill in youth for 70 years: critical thinking.
Using the liberal media (ABC, CBS, NBC, New York Times, Washington Post, etc.) and the demagoguery in educational institutions such as ours, they have tried to destroy young conservatives by labeling them as "right-wing radicals" or demonizing them as the rich elite or some other nonsense.
In the academia's debate of ideas, I am widely attacked. Professors like to tear me down and praise liberal columnists, but I am OK with that. When it comes down to the debate of ideas conservatives have the greatest weapon of them all. To coin a phrase, we possess the weapons of mass ideological construction.
While liberals may have hold in education and media, we have the one thing that scares them to death: better ideas. Ideas that they would silence because in their minds the same policies that have already failed in America and across the globe are really the best policies for the future.
I haven't commented on the elections. Quite frankly, the Republicans won for a reason. The Democrats had absolutely no new message. They were fighting with the same old attacks, and people are getting wise to their lies. For example, the Democratic National Committee created an ad where Bush was pushing a senior citizen off a cliff to her death.
That's right; they claimed Bush was going to kill old people. It worked years ago with the "Whither on the Vine" ad used to misquote and demonize Newt Gingrich, so why not use it on Bush? The answer is simply because people are tired of deception and propaganda.
The Democrat playbook for 2002 looks nearly the same as the one for 2000, 1998, 1996 and 1994. It is the same old stuff, and it still outlines the same strategy that has failed for the last 70 years. Big government doesn't work. All the government ever does is screw stuff up. You give them a new agency, and they'll mess up. That is why social healthcare and the continuation of the current Social Security system are so foolish; the government will just fail into the future.
I believe in smaller government and lower taxes. I believe that individual freedoms and capitalism are the greatest things given to us by God, and articulated by our founders. I believe that Conservatism is better than liberalism. I believe that our nation is the greatest on the planet.
I scare liberals, and that is just fine with me.
