Well, I think the reason we lose some of the PC wars is that liberals talk to everyone like a potential convert. They will spell out a very easy to understand and pretty picture of the world as they see it. Theirs is simply "A cute deer". Many conservatives would have just told the guy to "go to hell, don't tell me what to do, you PETA idiot". We just too often *assume* all people should just *know* that deer, in the absense of predators, will overpopulate and starve to death. And that a deer taken by a hunter has a much better standard of living and much higher probability of a dignified and 'painless' death than a steer or a chicken in a slaughterhouse. We need to paint a better picture of our side. In thirty seconds. People will not listen long enough to get it if we can't learn to paint a 'more attractive than the alternative' picture. We have the same image problem in environmentalism. "screw the hippy wackos" doesn't win votes.
