I guess I have a different take than most here. I no longer have a FB account, didn’t like the company. However, I am also on other blogs that are not political. Sometimes they will bring up politics, and most are leftists.

Now, here’s the thing, the left was and is obnoxiously in our faces with politics. I totally understand why we all would not want to be like them, but...they are successful in changing the culture with this obnoxiousness. It really isn’t the rabid dem we need to try to convince, but typically there are many other people lurking, that can possibly be converted. Especially, when we give them just enough rope to hang themselves with. It’s kind of a fun hobby for me. Too many low info voters do not know the other side to any political disagreement, and if we don’t tell them, they never will.

One example: On a decorating forum, when Kohman breast cancer awareness pulled funding from planned parenthood, the women on this site were rabid. I posted a comment that simply said “choose life”. Of course I was attacked. I then posted a link to famous Margaret Sanger quotes, the founder of planned parenthood. I received 2 private e-mails from others saying they appreciated my response.

I really think for Conservatives to gain ground, we really do have to speak up.

One more example, and I have many, but a couple of months ago, my DH and I were at a party and another guest, who I had heard in the past talk about faux news, came up to me and said he had been talking to my husband about politics. He is mad at the dems, but not ready to like the r’s. I told him, we are not r’s were tea party and proud of it. He was surprised. But by now, he knew us, and knew we weren’t all the things the media says about us.

I really feel though like I don’t have anybody to have my back. IF you went to any website and said something negative about the current pres. there would be so many people jumping in to disagree and try to make you look foolish. We have to start having others back, and we all need to start standing up for ourselves. IMHO

There really are a lot of good ways to tear down their hold on the culture, but as a group, we don’t talk about them. I wish we had a section here for just that purpose.
