That's the whole problem with our political climate. If conservatives had half as much spine as the liberals have arrogance, we might have a chance. As it is, we have "conservatives" without the courage of their convictions, and liberals who are pathetically lacking in convictions, but, by golly, they can sure bully us around by taking ours and beating us with them. Just once, I'd like to see our side take the risk and smack down the bullies, instead of running for cover to lick their wounds.
Beautifully stated. I agree.
