Ignore Right-wing Manipulations |
|
Here's the bottom line: Right-wingers are trying to manipulate liberals and liberal-leaning folk into being ashamed that they're liberal.
For liberals to buy into this manipulation, IMHO, would be far more damaging to our goals and our country than agreeing with them and trying to become "Republican-Lite". Recall what happened last time the Democrats sent a Republican-Lite to the White House--The Republicans tore him to shreds anyway! The right wing is going to do anything, and I mean anything, to tear down the power of anyone who wants to do things for the people at the expense of their favored corporations and industries. They are greedy extremists who think money and power are the end-all of life. They are unenlightened and unChristian, but they are masters at manipulating those who are the most devout of Christians.
The only way for liberals to fight the right wing is to FIGHT BACK. Don't change your values... GIRD AND CLARIFY THEM. Fight as hard as they do, but don't become them.
If everyone starts to believe that the only way to political progress is to join one big party or way of thought, esp. if they're ethically wrong (and they are)--this is the end of our republic, folks. The very end.
