No--

You have the formula down pretty good!

The problem is that most conservatives just live their life focused on their own actions. The best witness is not your words- but your actions. So we don't spend as much time rinning to cameras and microphones trying to sway opinions and spend so much of our efforts in rhetoric. But we are learning.

We have been pushed into a corner for too long. We are starting to PUSH back. And the opposition DOES NOT LIKE IT!

Boy, you have got that right.

I finally figured this out some years ago. I wondered "Now why is it that the vast majority of the MSM, college Profs, etc, are libs?"

It puzzled me for years until it dawned on me - it was while I was doing investigative reporting for a statewide paper. I found that even thought the stories I did were true and even tho' I made it a rule to talk to both sides of any issue...I didn't like printing anything that hurt anyone, even if guilty.

I went back to editing and writing Home & Family stuff and writing my nostalgia column - positive stuff.

And it dawned on me the MSM was top heavy with libs because libs don't mind stepping on toes or minding other peoples business - indeed, they think they should running everyones business. On the other hand, we conservatives were content to live our lives and let others live theirs.

This, however, gives them the upper hand. They yell the loudest, They get heard.

And so you are totally right: "We have been pushed into a corner for too long. We are starting to PUSH back. And the opposition DOES NOT LIKE IT",

We can only beat them by their own game - fire with fire. Have you noticed how it confuses them?

We did the first summer of the war. The flotsam and jetsam would rally down town for protesting and shouting, burning flags, etc.

So we started our own rallies at the same time - with flags and signs and songs blasting like "Glad to be An American..." - and supporters in traffic would toot for us....the rats couldn't take it. They were totally taken aback and after 2 times, never showed up again.
