I think the death knell for liberalism is being sounded. I can hear it. But the key to it is not changing their minds, though that does happen, but not as a result of that being the objective. There are a whole bunch of factors that cause that to happen and that\u2019s a slow process. But the real committed ones are just as committed as you are to what you believe and you\u2019re not going to change your mind, either, and if you look at it that way you\u2019ll understand it\u2019s not the way to go about it. <\/line>So many things need to happen for a full complete victory. Number one is regaining some measure of control or input in the education system, that would be one of the major things that could be done. And it\u2019s being done, and it\u2019s being tried, and there are successes to report in it every day. We have some people who look out at the culture and think, “Rush, you\u2019re full of beans, we\u2019re losing everything, we\u2019re get more decrepit every day. The culture is depraved and so forth.” And it may be when you compare certain elements to others, but overall I think there\u2019s a positive attitudinal shift going on. The idea has to be just, you know, be who we are and let that influence the people we come in contact with and don\u2019t measure your success by how loud or soft liberals get. Because the objective is not to change their minds. And I know that sounds curious, too, and I\u2019m running out of time. “Well, Rush, how we going to win if we don\u2019t change their minds?”<\/line>The art of persuasion is a touchy thing. I mean, you\u2019ve been in discussions with people personally and you\u2019re yelling at them and you\u2019re pointing a finger in their face and saying, “You\u2019re wrong!” Never works, that\u2019s not going to change anybody\u2019s mind, unless you\u2019re a parent, and even then you may think you\u2019re winning but your kid grows up and basically tells you, “Screw you.” There\u2019s a way to persuade and the way to do it, one of the best ways to do it, is set up circumstances to which the conclusion is obvious. Let them come to it on their own, therefore they think they\u2019ve realized something. Like Reagan said, “Doesn\u2019t matter who gets the credit, as long as the right thing gets done.” And there are ways to make this happen. Maybe we could discuss this at length someday in a future show, because people ask me this frequently, particularly on Open Line Friday. I\u2019m out of time now, got to go to a break. Thanks for the call. <\/line>END TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n
