That is a ridiculous analogy and I think you know it. This is an argument of ideas and words, not fisticuffs.

Just because we have losers in leadership that cannot articulate a conservative idea worth a damn (that would be: President Bush, Senator McCain, and all the RINOs in the RNC/GOP) doesn’t mean that we have to cheer death threats to a President-Elect that over 50% of the population voted for.

Start with articulating conservative positions, and then we’ll have a level playing field. We are losing because we are liberalism-lite with Compassionate Conservatism and the Maverick run amok.

No, we are losing because the leadership of the Republican Party is liberalism-lite, despite the howling of their base, especially in recent years. So why would the leadership of the party go against their own base? Because the Left owns the media of information exchange in this country - television, newspapers, magazines etc., as well as the propaganda tools of entertainment - TV, movies, music, etc. They own that because they are ruthless in their acquisition of control of these elements, and care absolutely nothing for fair play. Do you think someone like McCain or Bush gets their news from FreeRepublic? Hell no. They get it from the above sources, and they actually believe the BS line that America is turning left, so they go where they think the wind is blowing, not understanding that it is the core base that is against illegal immigration, the bailout, expanded government, etc., rather than just some fringe element.

We need to employ the same ruthlessness as the Left in our protection of this country or we will lose it. We need to cry "free speech" and "dissent is patriotic" and "how dare you question my patriotism" and on and on whenever people even marginally on our side express controversial things. We need to emasculate the Left, so that they become as accepting of vicious, brutal, lying attacks on their character as the Right has become. We need to make the Left look like prison b*tches, the way they have been making us look. I'm convinced that so many young people flock to the Left because that appears to be where the strength is, while the Right looks like a bunch of hand-wringing, simpering, apologizers every time some yahoo on the Left points an accusatory finger. People, especially the dumb young ones, respect and follow strength and despise weakness. That is the brutal reality.

We all need to embrace this brutal nature of the game and work with it, or we will lose. You can take what you see as the high road all you want, but we'll see how noble that was when the communists slam you against the wall and put a bullet in the back of your head. We fight now and use every dirty trick we have to, or we will lose this country, and we will deserve to. No apologies and no prisoners from now on.

No one is cheering these children on and you know it. Quit trolling and ignoring facts.
