Back in the day when I was in politics, I never let the Left define the terms. I remember in the 1980s my Democrat opponent in a debate at a Community College in Florida kept called the Nicaraguan Resistance, “Contras” - and I refused to use the term.
I went on to paint the freedom fighters of Nicaraqua, as a contemporary French Resistance against the Nazis.
I won the debate.
It is truely written that if you let your opponent define the terms, you always lose the debate.

Absolutely. We cannot let the other guys define the issues and the terms. But that is just what is happening, day in and day out, and we have to find a way to turn that around. I think the tea parties are a good start as they seem, generally, less willing to do this. Unfortunately much of what we hear about these events is being filtered through things like FoxNews, and they invariably concede the terms to the Left. Unfortunate.
