They are painting conservatives as "the other" - in order to justify killing us.

The reason I asked the question was not to provoke unreasonable fear but rather, thought. Do they (the now-dominant Left) really intend to go that far? Murder is the ultimate consequence of hatred of "the other", a result of cruel passion untempered by reason. But other, less dire consequences of group hatred often precede physical violence: ridicule, marginalization, dispossession, and censorship among them. The Jews of Nazi Germany suffered all of these harms before Hitler decided on his "Final Solution".

Once again, I'm not directly equating our current Left with the Nazis nor attempting to project an historical inevitability. My point is that ideas have consequences, and that beliefs in time will always manifest themselves in action. Because the American Left is today so dominated by a philosophy of Feeling and the (necessary) negation of Reason, many of their numbers may not realize just where they are ultimately headed when they choose to view Conservatives not merely as political opponents but as beastly enemies of humanity.

Liberals now routinely ridicule and marginalize conservatives.They almost always employ some variation of the ubiquitous "racistsexistbigothomophobe" slur or the classic "rich-white-bastard-who-hates-the-poor-and-doesn't-care-about-the-children-and-wants-to-throw-Grandma-starving-into the street" appeal to idleness and envy. Increasingly, Obama's advisers and czars (say, wasn't that the title of the Russian guys who persecuted the J-... oh, never mind) call for higher taxes on wealth and for increased control of our communications media. And so I ask: what's next?

Of course you're right - but the fact that elite radical liberals choose not to "realize where they're ultimately headed" does not imply that we can't tell them where they're headed. It's our best defense.

For example - all those times we accused the MSM of working together against conservatives - and watching them roll their 'ever so superior eyes' in disbelief at our lack of sophistication - well, we were right. They were wrong - or lying - and we have the proof. JournoLists existed - four hundred powerful, interconnected journalists - working against us with hatred and malice. They were doing exacting what we were accusing them of... That episode peeled off a few real journalist who were forced to look at themselves in a new light. Maybe, just maybe ...

Some will stop rolling their eyes - not many - a few...

And it's got to be the same with the radical liberal elite's hatred of us ... and their ability to instill that hatred in minority groups. We need to speak the truth - in words and actions and love. And while you're scratching your head about the last comment - yeah, love.

More later...
