Just one of the many points about liberals that make them dangerous to our nation

When I first started my student teaching I was possessed of the belief that I could make history interesting to all of my students. I believed I could get them engaged in class discussions and excited. At one point I produced an actual Nazi party pin (part of a collection of various historical items I had obtained over the years). It didn’t register with them. I had already described the horrors of Nazi Germany. But no one in the class sat up straighter, no one gasped. There was no reaction at all. I remained puzzled for a long time after that but finally concluded that some people (though I admit some of them would later grow up and change their view) just didn’t care about much beyond themselves.

I felt the same way - though you would think I would have learned by that point - when I started writing a political column. I felt my simple way of explaining things and the obvious truth behind what I had to say would result in at least some responses indicating that I was changing minds. Instead I get vastly more attack letters than I do e-mails that show support. I don’t know of anyone who has a better understanding of conservatives or liberals now that, originally, hated or disliked the former and loved or merely allowed by inaction the growth of the latter.

I’ve become increasingly confrontational and harsh, fully aware that you catch more flies with honey. After years of attempts, however, I have reached the conclusion that die-hard liberals- the modern variety that hate the military, wish to destroy the traditional family and the values they represent, and worship big government but hate Christians and most other faiths - cannot be reasoned with. They just have to be stopped. That’s what my latest column is about.

But, in the end, I think conservatives will loose this fight. Human beings are possessed of many qualities and good points. But our own ignorance, fear, laziness, and selfishness sometimes overwhelms the better parts of our nature. If it looks too good to be true it probably is. But too many fail to understand that. But that doesn’t excuse those of us who do realize the value of small government, responsibility, and family values from fighting too keep us out of the abyss as long as possible.

I will therefore keep fighting- for as long as I draw breath.
