I think this is important enough to reiterate...and clarify:
We Conservatives/Libertarians/Constitutionalists often fall into a trap because we are only human, and find it difficult to resist engaging the Progressives/Marxist/Statists when they say something stupid, false, cruel, ugly, mistaken, threatening or evil.
That's the trap, you see.
If you offer money to a woman for sex and she doesn't slap your face, but starts arguing about the details of the transaction, she's pretty much ceded the underlying concept that she's a whore.
If you offer a citizen Socialized Medicine, and she doesn't slap your face, but starts arguing about the details of the bill, she's pretty much ceded the underlying concept of the possibility if not the legitimacy of Socialized Medicine.
The citizen's reaction should be as sharp and instantaneous as the virtuous woman's: Outrage at the mere suggestion of such a concept, and its utter rejection on Principle.
The only correct response is to avoid debate on the details, and denounce the concept itself—on PRINCIPLE—and never let the baiting of the Left suck you into a false argument.
It is our principles of Individual Liberty, Limited Government and the Free Market that the very idea of Socialized Medicine offends. And that should be our argument. And we should make it clear to all that we will not dignify with debate or discussion, the details of a concept we find un-American, unconstitutional, immoral, reprehensible, repugnant and entirely unacceptable - on Principle!

Amen Gunslinger. It's total victory or abject defeat. There is no middle ground and I will not stand for or with anyone who will accept 'consensus'. Either you are with us or you're against us. It's the Global War On Socialism and we MUST win.
ReplyDeleteTo reiterate myself...Attack and destroy the false premise from the start. Tho FoxNews and C-SPAN Washington Journal are informative,there's WAY too much kabuki theater going on,and I'm all too often left screaming "WTF,you lame-o beltway wussy!",so I find more cheer-up listening to Mark Levin's radio show that local radio started carrying.
ReplyDeleteAllow me to peat and repeat that:

Well said!
