Good post however we have to do more that simply shrug off the racist charges. We have to throw it back into the faces of the regime and let them know we are aware of the con they have been perpetuating on us and let them know it won’t work and will backfire on them.

Well, long ago, personally, the few times it happened, I just did what I said in my post—I just shrugged and said “so what” when called a racist. It left the accuser with nowhere to go but back to the substance of the matter. Since adopting the policy, I’ve wasted not a moment of my life trying to convince someone I wasn’t a racist. Try it. It’s liberating.

The point really is that if you’re gonna be accused of it no matter what you say, why bother defending? The US will be called “imperialist” no matter what. Always has been, always will be. We can do nothing at all and be called “imperialist.” We could nuke half the world and take over the other half and face the same accusation. Which means, there’s no reason provided by our accusers NOT to nuke half the world and take over the half.

I don't see it as just this one issue.

I think we have learned from GW who failed to fight back when the left attacked him relentlessly usually lying about what he did or said.

If we nail them on every lie they tell they will tell fewer lies and think twice about going after us when they know there will be a price to pay.

The left are mostly a gutless lot. They seek constant political advantage with no price too pay. Make them pay and they will slide back into the coffins they live in.

It's time to take the lead. Not let the far left dictate the issues.
