What Star Wars Teaches Conservatives

by Dr. Tony Mangana, American Daily Review

The 1977 classic movie, Star Wars, portrayed an epic struggle between a righteous outnumbered few (Rebel alliance) against a much stronger dominant government (Empire). The now well known story tells how a small group of activists can effect change by adhering to their principals as a source of power and focusing their efforts on the identifiable vulnerability of their adversary. A useful analogy may be drawn to the current situation of contemporary conservative activism...

In Star Wars the Jedi were warned against using hate as a destructive force but instead to trust their principals. Similarly, Conservatives must avoid spending too much time being reactive (the antagonist) or negative and instead spend more time being protagonist for Conservative principals. This way they can begin to control the message...

He has a good point here. We spend too much time talking about how bad it is in socialist-atheist countries like Sweden, and not enough time talking about how great it is in True Christian nations like Gambia or free-market nations like Somolia.

The recent departure of Arlene (sic) Specter can be likened to the lancing of an abscess to remove the nidus of infection which is necessary for a body to be healed. Similarly, the Republican party must purge out the Republicans In Name Only (RINO) if they do not immediately repent. The "force" of the Republican party is their conservative principals (sic), just like the Jedi Luke Skywalker, they must resist temptations away from this force...

I am reminded of the classic battle in the movie "Star Wars" where the small force of the Rebel Alliance is attacking the much larger and stronger fleet of the Empire. They know that to win there is only one strategy, they must focus their attack on a specific area of vulnerability on the otherwise impenetrable Death Star. In the end, victory was achieved by "staying on target":

Umm, well, that's one way of looking at it. Can't say I really like the Conservatives/Republicans - at all- but whatever gets you people liking Star Wars is okay by me, I guess.

The Star Wars movie was a wonderful inspiration to our greatest president, Ronnie Raygun, which is why he decided to fund the Star Wars Missile Defense system. It worked superbly, having hit its target in 2 out of 14 rigged tests, which easily justifies the billions of dollars we've spent building it. I feel so much safer now knowing that if Russia or China decides to nuke us, there's a good chance we'll be able to shoot down 15% of their missiles - assuming that the Russians or Chinese tell us in advance exactly where their missiles are located and what the targets are, and when they'll be firing them.

Star Wars missile defense is worth every penny in my opinion. Of course, that commie Obama will probably give our missiles to his father, bin Laden.
