May I suggest toning down your efforts to kill hope?

Tone down? TONE DOWN?????

If my pointing out the biases out there offends many on the right, then we have lost. That’s a fact.

‘I’ prefer to confront it, not put my head in the sand.

If I had a website or a radio show or otherwise able to communicate to the public, I’d be SCREAMING about it.

I would encourage you to keep in mind the words of Adm. James Bond Stockdale, reflecting on his time spent checked-in at the Hanoi Hilton:

This is a very important lesson. You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end—which you can never afford to lose—with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.

I had to get back to my work earlier but left thinking that perhaps I jumped on your comment a bit harshly.

I came back to apologize, but then I read your comment again and realized I misread it earlier...

...I do apologize for the earlier comment, as it WAY OFF BASE.

Frankly, I’m more than PUT OFF that anyone would read that post and suggest my ‘efforts’ here are to KILL HOPE.

I’m so put off that my stomach’s in a knot.

The only thing that assuages that feeling is the pretty good response here; I do have some hope left and won’t stop fighting. That includes reengaging the conservative radio hosts that are on the wrong side of the fence on this next week.
