“Know your enemy” is a much quoted phrase. It is used in many situations, obviously in war, but also in business, in politics, even between neighbors or relatives. Competitor is a more suitable word in most cases less violent than war. In any case when two or more people,businesses, etc. are involved in a conflict of purposes or ideas, each player needs to know as much as possible about the other side.

Any competitive situation requires a plan if one has any expectation of winning. In order to develop a winning strategy you not only need to know your desired outcome and your skills, strengths and weaknesses, support, etc., but also as much as possible of your opponents’.

I am conservative in both life and politics, so in order to know how to oppose those on the other side, I study them. I do not enjoy it but see it as necessary. We (the citizens of this nation) are now in a pitched battle for control of our country! I pray not, but I fear that I’m on the losing side. We (conservatives) are possibly outnumbered because the enemy has gained control of two major weapons through which they have created a huge, perhaps overwhelming, army. Those weapons are the education system and the mainstream media as well as the social media networks.  Their army, having been indoctrinated into liberalism and socialism by the previously mentioned weapons are not even willing to consider anything presented by the other side.

If you have the best plan it should be possible to convince  those on the other side to cross over to your side. Unfortunately, if they wont even communicate with you and they have the biggest army, YOU LOSE.

Let’s, just for a moment, forget politics and look at our nation strictly the from the point of common sense and reasoning. Many things change in our world like styles, technology, even cultural norms. Change can be good or bad, determined by the results or outcome of the change.

Some changes are comparatively minor or totally insignificant in the grand scheme of things. Clothing, hair styles, car designs , etc. will not greatly effect the important things in our lives. According to polls we consider things like national and personal security, jobs and income, education, health care/insurance, crime, taxes, and religious freedom, and currently, apparently, abortion are the things we are most concerned about.

I want everyone (with an open mind) to look at these things, how they have changed, how satisfactory they are now, and what does the future look like in these areas. I have my opinion of what and who can give us the best possible results in these areas, going forward. I’m interested in what others think!
