For Dr. Timothy Daughtry, a clinical psychologist who has co-authored a book for mainstream Americans, too many citizens think they have done their civic duty if they show up to vote and return to their normal lives.

To Daughtry, they are “like summer tourists in politics,” whereas the progressives are like the “locals.”

“We’ve got to get active now or we are going to lose this republic,” Daughtry says. The danger is, he says, that “our country is being taken away from us right under our very noses.”

He believes that a historic debate is being played out about whether Americans are citizens or subjects of their government.

Conservatives are on defense too much to succeed, he thinks, but also believes that help is on the way as citizens are waking up to the problems caused by both political parties.

“We have to make the left start defending socialism instead of us defending liberty,” Daughtry said.

Mainstream America started waking up when Republicans and Democrats in Washington embracing bailouts, which he says “fundamentally struck Americans as wrong.”

Then, the widespread unpopularity of Obamacare became surprisingly irrelevant to a government that “rammed it through anyway.”


Educational textbooks depicting American history through a distorted lens of progressive ideology that glorifies redistribution is another “red flag” waking up parents, Daughtry believes.

Losing cultural institutions to the left, like the media, education and entertainment, is far more significant, says Daughtry, than the harm done by the U.S. government. Daughtry also discusses how to respond to being called an extremist or a racist in this two-part interview.

He thinks conservatives should not accept the left’s premises, since the left has done incalculable damage to the black community with their policies and programs. Now more than ever, conservative solutions need to be introduced to the marketplace of ideas that many activists are now joining.

We must be on the offensive. If we always defend then they will break through our lines eventually. They have already taken over several defense lines and we must counterattack! We must attack their Schwerpunkt!

Knowledge and techniques provided by the trivium are a must. The Trivium is extremely effective against liberals or anyone who uses emotion, logical fallacies and distraction techniques.

When he was talking about how kids are taught math, it totally reminded me of my Algebra 1 teacher in 8th grade. Half of our tests would be just showing the skills in that chapter and then half would be word problems that looked like this:

A factory produces 8,000 widgets per hour. The factory is open 80 hours per week. The factory pays owner pays his employees based on how many widget they make, and there are 100 employees who work on 2 shifts. Each widget sells for $8. It costs $3 to make each widget. The employees share $1 per widget.
1. How much profit does the factory owner make per year, if the factory operates 80 hours per week?
2. How much more would a factory worker make if they increase their work week from 40 hours to 50 hours?
3. How many more widgets would the factory produce each week if it was open for 100 hours per week?
4. How much more does each worker make per hour if the factory increases production by 30% per hour.
5. If it costs $600,000 to increase production by 30%, how long will it take the factory owner to recoup his investment?

Sometimes the employees would be commission sales people, sometimes we were calculating interest, sometime we were dividing floorspace for offices, but it almost always involved widgets, gadgets or gizmos and involved consideration from both an employee and employer standpoint. I always loved the word problem section, but it sounds like the way they are teaching kids math now is the polar opposite of what our word problems looked like.
