It is despicable what the conservative media have done to this man. ‘Learn to navigate the minefield’? So, he has to learn to back peddle and be slick or they throw him under the bus? Liberals do this, not conservatives. I find what Hannity, Loesch, FOX and others have done to him to be weasel crap. Don’t even get me started on Rand Paul. I’m a white conservative and I don’t intend to denounce him for ‘expediency’. That is ridiculous and it’s exactly what liberals do. Not me.
"...........The brilliant French philosopher and journalist Jean-François Revel spent his life warning Americans and Europeans of the tremendous power of the left's creative discourse on compassion and social justice. In books such as The Totalitarian Temptation, How Democracies Perish, and Last Exit to Utopia Revel collected a mountain of evidence in order to paint a very modern picture of a very old but successful, and enduring, leftist strategy:
The Left's winning strategy [is] to make [conservatives] fear the consequences of their own devotion to their philosophy, and to pressure them to abjure it altogether."
