Break-down both left and right political types into three general categories:

Type one: real elites, from both the political left and right, are well known media personalities, nationally recognized elected officials, and vary – vary – wealthy individuals. Home town (or state wide) recognition is not sufficient to change mass minds on the federal level.

Most conservative elites are obviously registered Republicans; and similar for liberal Democrats. PC elites (Lingensjo previous blog sociopaths) are typically liberal; however, a few are inexplicably not.

Type two: acolytes - many acolytes envision themselves as elites; however, their influence is not significant enough to be included in that class. The actual elites will discard acolytes when convenient.

Conservative acolytes promote the defined (by elites) philosophy using empirical evidence and rational thought; the “silent majority” is traditional middle-class. Liberal acolytes promote the collective party-line through emotional responses to unpleasant situations. Reality is disconcerting for PC acolytes if they are not sociopaths.

Type three: cool-aid drinkers – the vast majority of liberals have arrived, and maintain, their talking points through “feel good” social contact. Conservatives in this class are a smaller percentage of the total right-wing, and they are better informed and rational.

EXAMPLE: Labor wage rate as a function of supply and demand.

Imagine for a moment, a rhetorical question, what would the common (not craftsmen) labor wage be if every able bodied adult had regular employment. If you’re honest, you must conclude that compensation would be higher; how much would be significant. When an employer wanted to hire another person they would be forced to entice an individual away from their current job.

This econ 101 review is a reminder that; when the supply (of labors) is increasing faster than demand, the equilibrium point (compensation) is lowered. Modern economists consider 5% unemployment on the macro level as “full employment”, because at any given moment, there are potential employees in transition from one job to the next.

The official unemployment numbers are not accurate (even allowing for some small percentage of transitional workers) because, over the years, many citizens have fallen out of the statistical collection system. Many more people (without official social security numbers) are not even included in the base numbers.

A recent local LA television spot about the large number of children, of homeless adults on the streets, is heart-breaking. What impact would employment for the parents, at a living wage, have on those children? Flooding the economy with illegal aliens has had the direct result of lowering labor rates and taking jobs from US.

Everyone knows business owners (liberal and conservative) want the lowest possible labor rates so their company can maximize profit. We also know what to expect from groups such as the Cato Institute; “let them eat cake”. Over the past few years, real family income has declined on average $2,000 per year.

Liberals win the prize for extraordinary deception, way beyond hypocrisy, in that, they claim to be for the “little guy”, and yet, consistently advocate LA be a sanctuary City. This rationalization is astonishing; over the past 50 years I have witnessed the devastation of the “minority” living standard in LA. Low-income citizens have been thrown under the bus.

Influencing the elites by the average person (such as temporarily stopping amnesty) can be done from the bottom up (plan on Lingensjo blog at TownHall.com). Acolytes will come around only when given implicit instruction to do so from their respective elites. Cool-aid drinkers want to “change” the people in charge of the same shenanigans, hoping they will personally benefit.

If you are incapable of comprehending the above facts and analysis you are a cool-aid drinker. If you simply refuse to acknowledge this reality you are a PC acolyte. “What luck for rulers that men don’t think;” Hitler 1940.
