Pasted below are excerpts from the Free Congress Foundation's lengthy strategic statement for the Traditional Conservative Movement (the URL is provided if you want to read the whole thing). It lays out the  strategy obviously supported by some on the far right. Recall that the Free Congress Foundation is headed by prominent and influential conservative activist Paul Weyrich (who also founded the Heritage Foundation).  The Bush administration is cozy with with Weyrich. This quote from a Time magazine article is apropos:

          "Each Wednesday Rove dispatches a top administration official to attend the regular
          conservative-coalition lunches held at Paul Weyrich's Free Congress Foundation. When
          activists call his office with a problem, Rove doesn't pass them off to an aide. He often
          responds himself. When Weyrich heard a few weeks ago that Bush's budget slashed
          funding for a favorite project called the Police Corps, which gives scholarships and training
          to police cadets, he complained to the White House. To Weyrich's surprise, Rove called
          back. "We've taken care of it," Rove said. "The problem is solved." Weyrich, who says his
          memos to the Reagan and Bush Sr. White Houses were rarely read, was impressed. "That,"
          he gushes, "is what it means to have friends in the White House.""

The Integration of Theory and Practice: A Program for the New Traditionalist Movement

               http://www.freecongress.org/centers/conservatism/traditionalist.htm

               by Eric Heubeck

               This essay is based on the belief that the truth of an idea is not the primary
               reason for its acceptance. Far more important is the energy and dedication of
               the idea's promoters--in other words, the individuals composing a social or
               political movement...

               We must, as Mr. Weyrich has suggested, develop a network of parallel cultural
               institutions existing side-by-side with the dominant leftist cultural institutions.
               The building and promotion of these institutions will require the development of
               a movement that will not merely reform the existing post-war conservative
               movement, but will in fact be forced to supersede it--if it is to succeed at
               all--because it will pursue a very different strategy and be premised on a very
               different view of its role in society....

               There will be three main stages in the unfolding of this movement. The first
               stage will be devoted to the development of a highly motivated elite able to
               coordinate future activities. The second stage will be devoted to the
               development of institutions designed to make an impact on the wider elite and
               a relatively small minority of the masses. The third stage will involve changing
               the overall character of American popular culture....

               Our movement will be entirely destructive, and entirely constructive.
               We will not try to reform the existing institutions. We only intend to weaken them,
               and eventually destroy them. We will endeavor to knock our opponents
               off-balance and unsettle them at every opportunity. All of our constructive
               energies will be dedicated to the creation of our own institutions....

               We will maintain a constant barrage of criticism against the Left. We will
               attack the very legitimacy of the Left. We will not give them a moment's
               rest. We will endeavor to prove that the Left does not deserve to hold sway
               over the heart and mind of a single American.  We will offer constant reminders
               that there is an alternative, there is a better way. When people have had
               enough of the sickness and decay of today's American culture, they will be
               embraced by and welcomed into the New Traditionalist movement. The
               rejection of the existing society by the people will thus be accomplished by
               pushing them and pulling them simultaneously.

               We will use guerrilla tactics to undermine the legitimacy of the dominant
               regime...

               We must create a countervailing force that is just as adept as the Left at
               intimidating people and institutions that are used as tools of left-wing activism
               but are not ideologically committed, such as Hollywood celebrities,
               multinational corporations, and university administrators. We must be feared, so that
               they will think twice before opening their mouths...

               We will be results-oriented rather than good intentions-oriented. Making a
               good-faith effort and being ideologically sound will be less important than
               advancing the goals of the movement...

               There is no medium more conducive to propagandistic purposes than the
               moving image, and our movement must learn to make use of this medium. A
               skillfully produced motion picture or television documentary has tremendous
               persuasive power...Rational arguments simply do not have this power, and all
               arguments made in print tend to appeal to the rational, critical faculties of the
               mind to a greater or lesser degree...

               The visual image allows us to illustrate our beliefs and arguments to our
               members and others in highly compelling terms--we will be able to show all the examples
               of cultural decadence, irrationality and disingenuousness in public debate,
               combined with our commentary, selectively edited and arranged for maximum impact...

               We need more people with fire in the belly, and we need a message that
               attracts those kinds of people....We must reframe this struggle as a moral
               struggle, as a transcendent struggle, as a struggle between good and evil.
               And we must be prepared to explain why this is so. We must provide the
               evidence needed to prove this using images and simple terms....

               Some will argue that "conservatives" do not believe in apocalyptic fervor. The
               reader should simply ask himself, is he happy with the state of cultural
               conservatism in this country? If not, does he think it likely that conditions will
               improve in the future by operating according to the current rules? And if not,
               is he willing to witness the death of true civilization in this country so that
               conservatism will not suffer the ungentlemanly taint of "fervor"? If the answer
               to any of these questions is yes, this movement will not appeal to the reader.
