That, of course, would be their best scenario. But I've heard and read too much from 'the other side' to believe that they would ever admit being wrong. They would rather die first, in a mundane way or in an attack on our country.
Some liberals can be reasoned with, even if it doesn't change their position much. These people seem to be shrinking in number, perhaps out of fear of being 'outed' as moderates by their side (you see this at DU all the time). So they don't speak out. This is true on our side at times, too. I won't deny that. But I've found that our side has a far larger percentage of reasonable people across the continuum of conserative thought than liberals do. When we get angry, it is usually for a reason. Liberals are just always angry. DU shows this very clearly.
