BREITBART: Online activists on the right, unite!

Andrew Breitbart

Link
ANALYSIS/OPINION:

A digital war has broken out, and the conservative movement is losing. Read the comment sections of right-leaning blogs, news sites and social forums, and the evidence is there in ugly abundance. Internet hooligans are spewing their talking points to thwart the dissent of the newly-out-of-power.

We must not let that go unanswered.

Uninvited Democratic activists are on a mission to demoralize the enemy - us. They want to ensure that President Obama is not subject to the same coordinated, facts-be-damned, multimedia takedown they employed over eight long years to destroy the presidency - and the humanity - of George W. Bush.

Political leftists play for keeps. They are willing to lie, perform deceptive acts in a coordinated fashion and do so in a wicked way - all in the pursuit of victory. Moral relativism is alive and well in the land of Hope and Change and its Web-savvy youth brigade expresses its "idealism" in a most cynical fashion.

The ends justify the means for them - now more than ever.

Sorry, but principle does win out and should be part of the tactics we use.  People might be fooled in the short-term by the truth-be-dammed policies of the left, but they wake up to them and the backlash will more than erase any gains they might have realized.

Truth matters.  If by "losing" Breitbart means they're outshouting us, that's true.  But slow and steady wins the race, people.

I was drawn to this section. I thought of Frank and his assessment of DUmmy's.

Been waiting for that to become truth for over 2 decades now. This culture war started in the 60's and we're still treating it like an aggressive game of Tiddly-Winks.

Maybe the sheeple's dependence on the government teat is the only thing that keeps it going.  What would they do if all of a sudden those "nets" weren't there anymore?

I mean, they wouldn't affect me greatly aside from having to have a more direct role in my mother's care, but still, that's not such a bad thing all-in-all.  Personal responsibility and self-determination?  Who knew?

Most of them would die.  This would NOT be a bad thing.

As most of the conservatives have jobs, families, homes, yards, vehicles, churches, friends and numerous commitments, those who spend their every waking moment toking and typing are always going to outpost the sane.

Not all of them, but I fear far to many do.
