 MS>         One of the reasons that we're losing is that we're sticking to

Good point.  
 
 MS> making movies about cute girls who got raped because some utterly

Actually the only movie I can recall seeing that was even semi-pro firearms 
was that film called "Red Dawn" (maybe?) About the invasion of the USA by  
the communists. At one point it had the bad guys tossing a gun shop for 
the records of who bought firearms and where they lived. But it was nothing 
like on the emotional level that you're talking about. 
 
 MS> media war for 30 years and in media wars, psyops predominates and in 
 MS> that entire time we've failed to learn what the propagandists on the 
 MS> other side know as first principles. 
 
Can you even name any bestseller book titles? (Apart from Heinlein) 
I can't. There are some with Libertarian leanings, but nothing like would 
be read by the general audience. It's usually SF or Military Fiction.
