I wish the eyes of America, and the world, could be opened to see the truth behind the Democrats. On every issue, from public development to race to fiscal responsibility to human rights, they always portray themselves as the good guys. The White Hats. And we conservatives are always likened to Luddites, regressive, xenophobic, destructive! I am so tired of Democrats always using obfuscation to make themselves appear lilly white, while they demonize anyone who has a modicum of opposition to any of their precepts. And thus I have been taking steps to try to do my part to change this vile equilibrium. Even though it is as simple as talking to friends, I have been doing it. And it has been interesting to note how easy it is to awaken people once you present them with facts (instead of blindly going on attack mode).

I think it is time we stop just sitting by letting Democrats paint themselves as social heroes while making us look like the dregs of society. For the longest time they have said all sorts of things, with the only response from Republicans being silence (in public) and a lot of mumbling (in places like FR where basically it is like preaching to the choir). It is time to say something if you hear a workmate state a fallacy clothed as fact, to say something when a friend says how Hillary would be a great president, to speak up when Kerry tries to honor someone who is against everything America stands for! And the key to doing this is by facts, not going ape and starting an argument. Democrats cannot counter facts, but they can easily counter an angry Republican by saying 'I told you these guys are crazy.' But give them facts and they slink off like the lowly serpents (actually worm is a better term) that they are.

But we need to stop being silent, we need to talk more in the open (and not just to ourselves), and we need to do this without losing our tempers. The Democrats greatest weapon is their obfuscation. And darkness and shadow will always be chased away by light and truth. But we need to speak up, and we need to do so in a way that will be listened to.
