(Stolen idea) IF you aren't working with young people... start. If you're in scouting, stay. Work harder. If your church has a youth group, get active with it. IF it doesn't, talk to the pastor/priest and START one. IF there's a kid in your neighborhood with NO father around - step forward. Take him to a ballgame, hunting, fishing.

The "liberals" didn't "take over" education. WE (Rs, conservatives, etc) abandoned it too them. When I started teaching high school (1975) in the metro Phoenix area, at least half or more of our faculty of 125 were on the 'right', and at least 1/5 of them were veterans.

When I retired in 2011, there were only about a dozen of us "righties" in a similar-sized staff. Surrounded and outnumbered - and I was the only airborne vet - out of 6, including the two JROTC instructors. (And one of those vets was pretty far to the left!)

When I work in the community, I don't see a lot of my conservative brothers and sisters beside me. I see liberal 'do-gooders'. If WE want to change things in the way people act...and react to conservatives... WE need to put our words into actions.

Or WE can sit on our asses here and whine.
Great post, Zonie. Absolutey nailed it.
We also need to enlighten women, Latinos and college students as to the potential for economic disaster with the status quo.
