We must make American focus on the real culture war.
Fighting back the culture of complacency, cronyism, and corruption, and infectious greed amongst the top 1%

How much money does the netroots and the grassroots have to raise before we can stop sucking off the coporate and rich-donor teet and actually start yelling about what really matters?

We need to appeal to peoples emotions, well reasoned arguments about policy have barely stopped the roll back of the new deal let alone made any progress.

We have to get Americans talking about class again.

4. Class
is a big part of the culturee war.But to permit rampant cronyism,domination over others lives, greed, corruption and bullying in one part of the society the other part must be taught or forced to give when they shouldn't,trust when they shouldn't belive when they should not,,ignore abuses of power, ignore bullies,accept being shafted stolen from and lied to from others and accept and submit to being lesser.

For one segment of a population to be able to getto the point they are beholen to no one else ..It requires a population that tolerates tyrants and on some level has learned to submit to power instead of question authority..

3. unfortunately the ground troops are the crazy xtians who don't
understand politics, or give a shit. They only perceive bogus "moral values"

so we need to fight both "cultures" (the ruling elite and the fundies)
