This article discusses the demise of Air America Radio, saying it did not have to be this way: conservatives fund money-losers in order to keep their movement alive; we don’t.
I admit I don’t understand how to just lose money, but ideologues seem to pull it off. I guess it’s because they keep re-raising funds from followers who enjoy the appeal to their imaginations.
As our side is want to blame Obama for not walking on water and parting the Red Sea in his first year in office, we would be wiser to remember the words of Lao Tzu: “To lead people walk behind them.” Which means, we still have to walk toward the goal!
This article mentions the point of how our side does too much “talking to ourselves” but doesn’t develop it too much; I presume the point is not that we should talk more to our ideologue asshole relatives who spew their James Dobson/Rush Limbaugh hate speech, but rather to people who do not know much of politics and could be swayed to join us if only we would take the time to talk to them.
