Your point is valid but also trivial. We’re never going to beat the left by playing according to their rules. We have to overturn the whole system. Yes we have to be smart and tactical but we also need to understand that it takes effort and courage to affect real change. If our approach can be undermined by one guy not saying the right PC platitudes, then our approach is doomed to fail. We have to be stronger than that. We need to be like a locomotive, not a chess game. That’s how the left wins its battles. We should be willing to do the same.
I understand what you’re saying - but conservatives keep playing into the hands of the liberals, playing to their strengths, which is not smart strategy...and we keep doing it, then we all get distracted by arguing why whatever was said shouldn’t be important in the larger scope of things.
Bundy was actually building steam in that locomotive, and then he shot a hole in the boiler.
Conservative keep playing to the liberal’s strength, handing them the very weapons they use to defeat us, over and over again. Talking about race in a fight over grazing rights is just foolish. Conservatives would be better to say simply, as I have been, that was a stupid move, it only takes focus away from the issue....AND GO BACK TO THE ISSUE. But we get caught up in defending the diversionary statement.
Watch the liberals, they never get off message. They keep pounding and pounding and pounding. But they easily get the conservatives off message because we tend to equate the messenger and the message. Bundy did a dumb thing. I’m not afraid to point it out, while still stating clearly that he was right in his case against BLM. Now I think I understand why he has lost in court each time. His court loses don’t help his case either, and I believe if he had been making the right case - like the Hages did - he would have won - like the Hages did.
