You cannot defeat the liberal narrative if you don’t understand the liberal narrative.  Whether conservatives realize it or not, conservatives have to consider the far-Left political narrative of every aspect of our lives.  For example, because of Harry's political jujitsu this argument is no longer about spending.  Now the argument is all about abortion.  Harry Reid delivers the perfect political jujitsu as 51% of the American people become mentally bewildered thinking everyone is arguing about abortion.  Other Americans think we are now arguing about soldiers - “Some think the White House has walked into a trap by threatening to veto the House GOP's one-week funding measure that would cut $12 billion but provide full funding for the Pentagon, ensuring U.S. soldiers do not lose any pay.”  Harry's move is the perfect far-Left political jujitsu and a thing of political beauty.  For the far-Left everything is political.  Everything is ideological.  Planned Parenthood is a government-run charity.  In the case of Planned Parenthood, the far-Left demands politics and ideology come first.  The political war over money for Planned Parenthood is central to totalitarian progressive ideology.  Therefore, this fight will not be easy.  Republicans have become expert at sitting in bible church, yammering about God and the bible while the country fiscally collapses in the middle of a party to party political war over a government spending problem.   Yet elected Republicans are timid and weak because Republicans do not understand the liberal narrative.  Everything is under constant progressive assault by far-left totalitarians who view how you live your life as an ideological, party to party political war.  Progressives are religious and political fanatics.  Totalitarian progressives have declared jihad on every aspect of being a free individual in order to impose their vision of political correctness.
