I realize the implications, however, I simply don't subscribe to the FEAR of retribution for the fact that others will deliberately misrepresent my words.

If we are going to let the other side govern the definition of our words, then we've already lost, and we might as well submit to Communist rule.

There is a huge difference between a personal insult directed at a single individual, and a deragatory comment made in reference to a racial or ethnic group, and conservatives need to understand the distinction.

If you're in a fist fight, yet you don't subscribe to the FEAR that the other guy will punch you in the face, and refuse to duck out of stubborn principle thereby refusing to let the other side govern the definition of a "roundhouse," you'll wind up with a broken nose regardless.
