Why indeed?
My opinion of many Americans doesn't alter my conservative beliefs. I can't make a lot of stupid, selfish people any less so by having faith in them.
They are what they are and that's the way it is. Libs have done pretty well by appealing to the baser part of people. That says as much about those that listen and believe their claptrap as it does about the liberals that spew it.
Who is worse, those serving up the crap, or those eagerly eating it? Libs wouldn't be where they are if there wasn't a market for hate, class warfare and ignorant envy.
I've lost faith in the idea that you can single-handedly bring a liberally brain-washed person back from the brink and into the light. I've failed so many times at that, that I've come to understand that it's a personal journey of discovery. No one else can force another to look, or listen to the truth. They've got to at least want to know more for themselves.
In that same vein, there are millions and millions of others who have either discovered the truth for themselves, or were brought up around it, and spared the brain-washing of the liberal left.
Many of those people are here on this forum. And we're worth having faith in, my friend.
