Are Freepers Still Winning the Online War?
One area in which we can and do must do more is blogs

but to truly defeat the Left,
liberal talk radio.”
there is no way Democrats and the Left can win

Your enthusiasm is to be admired yet I detect a bit of “pulling the punches”. You make a good case when rallying the troops but it is a case of preaching to the choir. If the message is to be delivered to the unwashed masses then PC must be cast aside. By that I mean if you are to make a lasting impression, you must challenge the mindset.

I have pasted snippets from your article and highlighted terms you use which only tell half the story. You along with everyone else use the terms, “Left”. “liberal” and “Democrat” to describe Socialists, Communists or others promoting their “ism” de jour. Why do you provide them with cover? Why not finally awaken the general public to the fact that these people believe in political concepts that are contrary to our representative republic form of government?

If Reagan could rally the nation to defeat the “Evil Empire” (Communist USSR) then why can’t you rally the nation to defeat the home grown communists by first, calling them by their proper name and never letting up? I have just recently heard a talk show host or two nail some Democrat guest by calling them socialist. You should have heard the sputter, but no denial. You and others can blog all you want but if you want a quicker result, try a bit of “disclosure” or “outing” of the socialists and communists that hide behind such benign labels as Liberal or Democrat.

I'll agree with that! I'm personally finding that it's getting more acceptable in common conversation to point out that some people and their ideas are communist, and that they are actively pushing it in our own communities. A decade ago, people thought you were a nutcase for saying that, but the communists have become so transparent in their views that manymore people are recognizing it. That is helping the swing to conservatism, in my opinion.
