That is one of the oldest liberal arguments. Another favorite is "Im not smart enough to answer that".
Why should we chill? What we are doing is effective.
The goal of conservatives for many years was to be left alone. To be principled in our debates, arguments and disagreements. To treat even those that disagreed with us as we would like to be treated and respect their opnion. Those attitudes got this country in the mess its in today. When you are facing an enemy like the socialists and their legion of useful idiots (Dixie chicks for example) you simply must resolve yourself to go to war.
During a time of war you disable the soldiers you are fighting because they are supporting the OTHER side. If you disable enough of the supporters you will defeat the enemy. You dont attempt to be fair about it, you attempt to take out as much of the enemy as possible by whatever means possible. Taking out this ideological enemy is done through defending them, discrediting them, embarrassing them etc. That means ANYONE of sufficient public standing who knowingly or unknowingly hurts OUR cause must be neutralized economically and personally (reputation).
Sorry, but just as the soldier going to war must do something that he would not normally do and is against his morals (kill), we must use whatever nonviolent tactics are effective to defeat our enemy.
The "disagreement" we have with socialists is not simply a disagreement between family members, it is a REAL war for REAL freedom from REAL slavery to the state. Get used to it Tally, we have adopted the effective ideologically neutral tactics of the left. We will take a bite, lock our jaws and not let go until the enemy stops moving.

Awesome post, you hit the nail on the head. Americans are realizing that they unfortunately are going to have to play hardball too if they want to preserved their country.
Personally, I don't enjoy having to write emails and call and take up part of my day doing that, but like you said, it's a war and I will do my part to combat the Dixie Chick types and the American types who are complacent enough to let it all unfold because they don't want their personal listening habits inconvenienced.
