If we are indeed at the point where speaking the truth harms the Republican or Conservative brand then we are past the point of talking....
Regardless of whose interpretation you are correct. Mine is..
for a hundred years we've been talking, debating. About 50 years ago the left's idea of debating turned to screaming "Bigot!" "Nazi!" "Racist!"
No longer discussing the issues of the future of America the Left turned to making their opponents exclusively the issue.
I guess that's the influence of Alinsky.
IMO it became a kind of appalling dialectic -- with the Right attempting to escape the verbal assaults yielding 90 percent and the Left yielding at most 10 percent and the result is -- that the enemy within is close to putting an end to America the "shining city upon a hill whose beacon light guides freedom-loving people everywhere."
Let's get it over with before there is another country strong enough to take advantage of our turmoil.
I just hope that patriots already in position to handle the turmoil (military and LEO) do step up, take charge, and put an end to the enemies within with our cooperation. IMO.
