Rachel Alexander thinks most Americans are too stupid to be conservative. And if they’re not stupid, they’re too lazy. And it really ticks her off, since she believes that Americans are once again falling in love with good old fashioned conservative values. What’s her proof? Duck Dynasty!
appear to have begun entering a more conservative phase, reflected in
part by the popularity of the family-oriented, God-loving TV show Duck
Dynasty. Although it is not a big expensive production, just a reality
show, it has become the second most popular show on cable TV. – See more

Yet this isn’t translating into changes in Americans’ politics or their
government. Americans are still voting for Democrats, accepting
socially liberal positions and expanding government. The reason is
simple. Liberalism self-perpetuates itself if left unchecked because
people are lazy. This is due to the nature of government. It is
difficult to feel the effects of incrementally raising taxes and
increasing spending across the board. – See more at:

Even though it’s Alexander who’s using Duck Dynasty to build a case for America’s change of heart, it’s the rest of us who are complete buffoons. Not her. However, despite America’s love affair with the bearded hunters, those pure values aren’t being reflected in how Americans vote. What? I know, right? You’re not surprised are you? But Alexander is surprised.
“[These values aren’t] translating into changes in Americans’ politics or their
government,” she writes. And furthermore, according to Alexander…
Americans are still voting for Democrats, accepting socially
liberal positions and expanding government. The reason is simple.
Liberalism self-perpetuates itself if left unchecked because people are
lazy. This is due to the nature of government. It is difficult to feel
the effects of incrementally raising taxes and increasing spending
across the board.
Have we had an election that I failed to participate in? I mean, this article feels a year late. But perhaps I’m just too stupid or lazy to grasp Alexander’s logic.
Building up to her conclusion, Alexander writes, “The
left is also winning the culture war. While Americans deep down prefer
shows like Duck Dynasty, they’re allowing the left to win on social
issues.” See? Alexander seems to really believes that one TV show reflects how an entire country is thinking? But how is the left winning despite Duck’s popularity?
…by portraying Republicans as cold
and heartless, using emotional arguments to sway the public.
Because Republicans have never portrayed themselves as cold and heartless, not once. They are victims.
But all is not lost according to Alexander. She believes the right can win again! How?
Republicans can turn this around by doing the exact same thing back to
the left.
What?
Portray the woman who wants to abort her baby as cruel and
selfish, and showcase those children who grew up with permanent injuries
as a result of an attempted, botched abortion.
Wht?
These kinds of
portrayals must be done frequently and everywhere.
What the?
It must become common
knowledge that the left has cruel and selfish policies that injure
people, in order to turn the tide.
What the holy Duck is she thinking?
But alas, here’s Alexander’s true point.
Conservatism is too cerebral for many Americans.
That’s why you can’t comprehend Sarah Palin… because she’s too brilliant for you to understand.
Consequently, the
right has to try twice as hard as the left to gain support for its
policies. This means working smarter too, by using methods that are
effective like emotional arguments. Although it may feel foreign to most
on the right to use an emotional argument about something that is not
terribly worthy of emotion, to continue down the same old path that no
longer works is slowly making the Republican Party a minority.Republicans need to quit lamenting over the backwards fact that the most
intelligent party is not the most successful.
Is Alexander correct? Are Democrats less intelligent than Republicans?
And… does Duck Dynasty reflect your politics?
