Again, I am a little bit proud that we don’t stoop to lies as the others do.

On the other hand, I wish we had more success in using the truth.

We don’t have the requisite propaganda power to get away with lies. "Liberals” - and the journalists who are so arrogant that they actually argue from the premise that they are themselves objective - occupy the commanding heights of propaganda institutions. That this is so is widely understood by conservatives, and masked by propaganda from the eyes of the low information voter, and by hubris from the eyes of the politically informed “liberal.”
On the other hand, I wish we had more success in using the truth.
We have such a propaganda power disadvantage that we can’t even humiliate a sitting president who has committed his international prestige to a blatant lie - the “anti-Islam video riot” that never was - to cover the fact that he was asleep while his representatives were dying in Benghazi.
