Thank-you for that post, Due. Wonderful.

HOPEFULLY, you are correct - that there really is a strong enough core of morallity in this country to restore integrity in governance.

I am not subject to the 'MSM' any longer - and my observations were of a 'personal' nature - from people that I see, live around, am (attempted to be) 'controlled by'. That is where my statement about 'amoral majority' (your words - incredible phrase, and quite accurate) actually originates from.

As with the American Revolution - a majority is NOT required - and that is where the brilliance of your second part really comes into play.

What is lacking is not righteousness, but rather courage--the will to fight for what is right.

I was struck by the implicit meme in your post, mon--'Amoral majority'--and went to the google monster to check my intuition. Sure enough, the googs try to substitute 'moral majority' to steer one away from the 20 million hits that result from your meme.

I'm not so sure that there really is an Amoral majority and suggest that the pervasive and perverted MSM has created the illusion to help infect the next generations with the leftish morality.

I do believe that the majority in this country still have a sufficient sense of morality to carry the day. What is lacking is not righteousness, but rather courage--the will to fight for what is right.

Here's an interesting analysis of the Republican presidential candidates, rating them in terms of ideology. The author begins thus:

If you are following along I was pondering about a real presidential candidate, and I shared a story of common sense American ingenuity. It ain’t necessarily fancy, it often times is difficult for intellectuals to understand, but it works. It works because we are American, and as history has evidenced quite accurately Americans just do things differently than most. After all, it was the individual spirit of people from all various walks of life that picked up roots, walked away looking for something better, and founded this great melting pot nation.

So why then is it so difficult for media types or analysts to understand the current discontent with the overwhelming absence of American Exceptionalism. Glenn Beck can draw an arguable million people to Washington DC simply because every day folk want to restore our national honor. The radical left can spend four solid weeks beating up a governor in Wisconsin 24/7 for speaking simple truths; yet all the money, manipulation, fraud, literal drum beating and endless spin narrative cannot overwhelm the common sense electorate and defeat a principled common sense conservative candidate for the judiciary. Why is that?

Simple, because we are in the majority. “We”. Not the noisy ‘we’, nor the demanding ‘we’, or the ’ideological we’, but the average, every day, common sense We The People ‘we’. Yeah, the intellectual elite cannot quantify it, they cannot successfully gauge it, they cannot even statistically discover the size of it because it exists in virtually every single American. It is the same principle approach that led the Japanese team of researchers to a dead-end where they scratched their collective heads trying desperately to quantify the unquantifiable. And that is what we are seeing play out 24/7 in every media outlet.

He then discusses the need to field a candidate as far as possible from Obama's ideology and proceeds to rate the (mostly pathetic) choices. Regardless of the accuracy of these 'ratings', the author's conclusion is inescapable:

Again, this is time to “put up or shut up.” And not get sucked into a false narrative. If you ain’t in this fight then sit down. If you ain’t willing to get into the field of combat and push back, then you are part of the problem. This must be the message not just in the primary, but in the general election too.

We must select a candidate as far away from Obama as possible so the distinction between the erroneous direction is crystal clear. Then we must support that candidate relentlessly, in every venue, in every conversation, in every manner we can muster.

This election will be won, and America will be saved, on the back-end of a pick up truck. Not in a board room, and not by some method of actuarial analysis. This election will be won with determination and grit....
