I hope you'll take consolation in your high-minded stance as they bayonet your kids. You people really have no idea what's in control of this country right now. No idea whatsoever.

Yeah, I have a very good idea. You might be surprised how good. Knowing it for what it is does not mandate writing snarky remarks about their kids, as if that helps achieve anything. It only detracts from our ability to get the word out as the target of the remarks plays the 'victim' card and the 'racist' card to trump the valid point someone might have been trying to make.

Some of the oldest liberal gambits are to attack the message if they can, attack the wording if they cannot, and attack the messenger if all else fails. Don't play into it, it is as stupid as diddy-bopping into a kill box.

If we are as intelligent as we claim, we can make our points without giving the enemy the opportunity to malign us and silence us over some quibbling words--and still make those points effectively.

As for bayonetting my kids, they have to go through me, my wife, and the kids themselves to get that close in. They better bring lots of friends and pack more than lunch.

That was an outstandingly well-thought-out response my FRiend, and I really appreciate the consideration you put into it.

Let me add this: They don't care about rational discourse, logical arguments, or opinions held by their opponents. They care about acquiring and retaining power, period. I understand that your focus is on the "bystander" class, but they are irrelevant. When you are in an arena in a knife fight, it doesn't matter how many bleachers are cheering for you.

What matters is the size of your blade and the ruthlessness with which you wield it.

Only results count, and no weak spot of theirs is off-limits to me.
