“And your “manners” will be the death of the conservative movement.”
I disagree strongly. “Manners” will be the saving of the movement, not its death. The good book says “be as wise as serpents”, not actually BE a serpent. If the conservative movement stoops to the level of the opposition, if it uses the same tactics, the same levels of ridicule, manipulation and spite, then ultimately it will become the opposition. What is the point of saving us from these people, if we have to become like them to do it?
I understand that the militant left uses our own virtues against us, but that is the reason (and actually the main reason) why I am against them. It’s also the reason that most “moderates” and “undecideds” will be against them too. The pollsters ask the wrong questons, and the mass media treat the masses with utter comtempt, but people are more astute than they think. They take note not only of the message but the way the message is delivered.
Militant left people are really repulsive. I don’t mean their policies, I mean them personally. And people (voters) register that. Do not be fooled. How we think and the way we transpose that into action matters more even than winning or losing an election. Those who use lies and hate and subterfuge will eventually become sneaky, hate-filled liars.
Actually, theres also something about CRUSHING the serpents head while 'bruising' our heel...
we must realize that this is the final push [by the homegrown commies] in a very calculated WAR against America and her FReedom...
the gloves must come off at all levels or we will lose to the demons of the left...PC is the serpents subtile weapon...
A better approach would be ridicule.
The devil cannot abide scorn.
