“We need to find a way to help them understand the corrosive, destructive consequences of liberal policies.”
Convincing someone presupposes a logical facility that is completely absent in Americanus Liberalus. You already admitted that the appeal to emotion-what Aristotle rightly called pathetic rhetoric-is the lifeblood of the left. The only way leftists are converted is by mugging and even then, they are more likely to just move than change their minds. It’s never the fault of policy, just a societal failure.
Maybe, in their new location, they will finally able to move from good intention to implementation. It is not only their right, but their obligation. After all, it’s hard work imposing a Utopia on people.
What you say may be true, sarcasm noted.
But it is a pipe dream to think they can be stopped by searching their cars at the border. The thought that it can be done that way is rather infantile and un-conservative. And it is that thought process I take issue with.
Also, note who I refer to. It is not the hard eyed liberals (Obama, Hilary, Alinsky, et al) and it is not the starry-eyed, spittle-lipped liberals such as Al Franken, Cynthia McKinney, the mass of Hollywood, entertainment and media, and nearly all liberals at all levels in government.
It is the people you live and work with who say something in one sentence that sounds socialist, and in another sentence, something conservative.
Those are the people we can aim at.
