I don’t think you will change the Liberal left’s mind, nor do I think we need to negotiate or compromise on our God given rights to keep and bare arms, however, If you don’t sit down and begin an intelligent conversation with those they are trying to influence and sway to their leftist agenda we may very well loss the argument because people empathize with their false narrative of fear.
Cursing, stomping, bullying and being a general bone head doesn’t change anything. That also doesn’t mean we just sit back and let it happen either. I agree with John Lovell’s position, “Now is not the time to bare arms but to have meaningful conversations that are informed by truth and facts and history”. Fact’s that challenge the left’s ideology and cause those who can be reasoned with to rethink their position.
You will not change the left’s mind, they know exactly what they are doing and they don’t care about our rights. Personally they are not worth the breath of air it takes to argue with them, so don’t waist your time. You can’t fix stupid and stupid won’t fix itself. But, when someone ask a legitimate question and wants to reason together then we owe it to them to give them the time to hear reason and truth. That doesn’t mean again that we hold back our emotions or feelings on the issue but it does mean we treat them with respect and dignity, other wise we will simply loose them to the left. When the time comes to be vigilant in the defense of freedom with more than words we will all have to choose where we stand, but for now this is a war of ideas, ideologies, and words and the way we fight it will make all the difference in the world and plot a course for generations to come.
Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr once took hot pokers to each other on the floor of the Capitol. A disagreement that ended in a duel. At times civil arguments must move beyond civility. I am always amazed at how the left tries to frame civility in this country. They strike the first blow and then try to play the victim. Civil Discourse doesn’t mean one rolls over and plays dead in blind toleration to the whims of the misinformed or deviant left it does however mean we attack them with truth as to cause them to show their cards to the masses. Remain calm in the storm and you will prevail, loose you junk and you are defeated already. That applies in any fight.
In a competition, make no mistake this is a competition for the soul of America, everyone is equal at the practice butts but it is the one with the best mental game that wins! So let us,while we can, run in such a way as to win without hatred or violence, as that is the very message the left wants everyone to hear about those who would keep and bare arms. Those who would defend freedom at all cost. You must, we must be calm, be vigilant, be steady and truthful in the midst of the battle, so stand your ground and don’t give an inch but be nice until it is time to not to be nice!
