To paraphrase von Clausewitz, 'politics is the continuation of war by other means'...
It’s a war of ideas, when carried out in its noblest form.
Have to hand THIS to liberals, they are serious about that. Modern conservatives are less so. They’ll get in your face about folding their arms and refusing to support some impure person... but when it comes to being emphatic about an issue when and where it matters? We hear less.
