Sorry, musiclady. But we're all Americans sharing the same heritage. (In this Woody Guthrie was right: this land is your land this land is my land).
My cause is not to defeat liberals; it is to defeat liberalism and their wrongheaded liberal ideas. I come from a family of liberals. I don't want to defeat them; I want to change their thinking. That's all people like Limbaugh and Levin are about. Changing minds.
I suspect that we're not very far apart in any of our beliefs, aligncare.
But it's my opinion that to trust anyone who is a liberal when it comes to things about America, is folly.
They do NOT want the same things. Leftists want America to lose its heritage of freedom and become a massive government with loss of individual liberty.
YES, we must try to defeat liberalism, but we cannot do that by being (what I believe to be) naïve, in trusting that leftists want the same thing as we do.
They simply don't.
I believe the search for "common ground" is futile. (In this particular case with this particular fellow, I think it's a ruse, and an act of profound insincerity. He proved yesterday with his lies about OWS and the Tea Party that he is nothing more than a troll, and not worth any legitimate effort to persuade).
When one side believes in racism, government control of everything in our lives, loss of individual liberty (unless you're homosexual and want to get 'married'), believes in the slaughter of the unborn, and that women's 'rights' (actually devastating to women) consist of killing babies, and wants to take our religious liberty, our right to bear arms, and our right to free speech away, there is NO common ground.
It won't and can't happen.
