Don’t feed the troll. It isn’t worth your time. It has zero intellectual honesty and is here only to stir up trouble. It’s best to laugh in its face and treat it as the sorry pathetic creature it truly is.
Most political party hacks and campaign operatives are not worth the time because pushing party and power is all they live for and it is all that matters to them. They are like dogs chasing cars.
However, they do great damage to the foundations upon which what remains of our liberties rest. Like the Left, they are at work discarding them as a drag and burden on achieving political power. I'm more interested about destroying the zeitgeist that preaches that our principles are offensive and irrelevant. The knee-jerk reactions of contempt and disgust whenever principles and virtues are discussed on this board are a sad testament to understanding why we have arrived at the point of decline we have, and how people like Obama, Pelosi, Reid and the rest of the Left have the hearts and minds of more than half the population.
Sadly we are become a people who view virtues, morality and principles as an offensive negative that needs to be put down and made fun of, so that the replacements they desire can be erected over where they were once rooted.
If we do not fight for them in the arena of ideas, then they are going to be replaced using the power of the state, which will impart it's own ideas of virtue and morality and do so with an iron fist to achieve that conformity that the Left demonstrates that it operates by.
Which is why this 'virtue signaling' meme that began on the Godless Marxist Left, now finds itself being used by the Trump Republicans as often and as insistently as it is in the Democrat Sphere of MSMS blogosphere and commentary social sites like Twitter.
