I have been trying since 2000 to wake up Republicans

Voters prefer to remain unteachable and live in fear and that was what this past election was all about. They played right in to the tactics of the GOP despite being warned repeatedly here. The writer is correct.

Yet voters can be woken up; but not by those who are afraid to challenge the false dogma; the gross denial of actual reality, which has motivated the Left since the Jacobin "Reign of Terror" in Paris in the early 1790s.

We need to start explaining how what is being done to America helps no one but demagogues & scoundrels; that it interferes with anyone's best use of whatever talents they may have. Pretending that Government is the solution to the real differences between different personalities & aptitudes, the implied premises in program after program, is not the way to solve anything; although it neatly leads to the Blame & Envy Cocktail on which Leftist demagogues have always relied.

Properly handled, truth is not answerable; people can be woken up.
