It has become blatantly obvious conservatives cannot defeat the radicals because their values will not allow them to sink to the levels of despotism that the left routinely embraces. Let us say more than 50% of the US is conservative in nature, believes in free will choice, freedom of worship, freedom of ownership, freedom of speech, freedom to travel, etc. Though this may be generalizing but conservative values get their root from divine law (as opposed to man's law). Which means we will not cheat, lie, steal, blackmail and murder to get our way, which is a decided disadvantage to the good guys. If the majority of us are of like mind and agree that criminals are running the show, then why do we tolerate it? A great movie way back in the day was a film called Boondock saints, (I highly recommend watching it). It is about a couple Irish guys in south Boston who got a calling, presumably from God, to take out the trash. They became pulp fiction super hero vigilantes who started wiping out the mob. It's funny how you see the same stories retold through out time, Moses started his career as a rebel who watched an Egyptian beating a slave and murdered him out of righteous justice. Moses lost his nobility, and became exiled but came back and with God's guidance over-threw his brother the Pharaoh. All it takes for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing.
