While the Left is actually working to achieve generational political power, elites on the Right seem satisfied to simply celebrate ... what? The latest white paper? The sold-out conference on how the Left is beating them in the political arena? Another record fundraising year where 60 percent of the funds go to promote the institution rather than on-the-ground efforts to implement the ideas? It's usually all of the above.
Anyone invested in liberty, free markets, and a fundamental respect for life should be horrified by the Left's obsession with complete power.
Now juxtapose the Left's pursuit and use of the sledgehammer of raw political power, with Conservatism, Inc. fiddling while the republic burns.
Nothing could have highlighted how the Left and Right approach "Change" in this country better than the Left's moves in Minnesota occurring simultaneously with the Heritage Foundation's anniversary celebration for all of whatever it is that think tank now does.
More than 70 years ago, the Left funded by the Rockefellers, Carnegies, and other staid-but-strayed foundations began investing in institutions in Washington and New York to support their policy endeavors.
The Left's nonprofit money funds investigative journalism, lawfare, voter registration, community organizing, and mobilization.
Maybe we should start thinking about how we reposition ourselves, our strategy, our tactics, and our funding before it's too late? Because, trust me, we're not beating back the militant Left by swatting at them with white papers.
