Well put. We are not liars, cheaters and thieves like them. And there are so very many of them, so well placed, and so widely supported by our ignorant masses. Winning against them is such an unbalanced fight.
Right. As I said, it is a fundamental and integral part of being a conservative that we would have to violate, and I don’t think that will happen.
Leftists have no compunction at all about not only taking the laws up to the edge of legality, but overtly and deliberately crossing that line into illegality.
It isn’t that I don’t think we can defeat them at their “game”...I simply think we won’t.
I took the time back in 2008 to read “Rules for Radicals”, and was so repulsed by it that I become angry when I hear conservatives on this very forum saying that we should adopt those tactics. (Not angry at them, per se, I think they are doing what we all are...wondering how to respond to the totalitarian thugs called “Democrats”)
I just don’t want to debase myself by doing that. Does it mean I will go extinct or die “politically”?
Maybe it does. But anyone who has real principles probably has something they might be prepared to “die” for rather than surrender.
