Wrong. The goal has to be to educate, not intimidate. You cannot bring a person to your way of thinking if you refuse to talk to them. The simple and unpleasant fact is that there are not enough hard core conservatives to get a majority. In many places yes, but not in the big blue states like CA, NY, NJ and Illinois. If you reflexively drive out anyone who doesn't think like you on every issue FR will get very lonely. And there will be very few conservatives in congress.

I need only point out that at the time of the first Tea Party in 1773 Benjamin Franklin (you know that guy on the $100.00) was a royalist. He thought compromise and negotiation were the best solutions to the colonies problems. It wasn't until after the fighting started in 1774 that he realized compromise was impossible because the King was negotiating in bad faith. He became on of the most influential members of the continental congress and the greatest of patriots.

I will draw the line between the liberal troll, and the establishment conservative. You fight the first and argue with the latter. An argument is designed to reach a point of understanding. A fight is just shouting down the other participant until they go away. Ban the trolls, not because they aren't conservative enough, but because they are jerks.

This fight is just beginning. The 21st century Tea Party, like the Tea Party of 1773, are ahead of the curve. Sam Adams and John Hancock may have started a revolution, but they needed late adopters like George Washington, John Adams and Ben Franklin to win it.
