"I disagree. In order to retain long-term credibility, we need to remain truthful in our commentary. Anything less is incredibly shortsighted."
Right on. Liberalism/socialism is going to die under its own weight, eventually. It will be naturally REJECTED by those that now blindly support it. The lies, the deceit, the scams, the crime...all the things that liberalism has to be to survive, will kill it once the kool-aid drinkers start wising up and liberalism can no longer support itself.
The prevailing party will be the party of REALITY AND TRUTH. It will prevail. There is no substitute for truth. When you tell the truth, you don't have TO REMEMBER WHAT YOU SAID!!!
EagleUSA and NittanyLion,
Read it again. I'm not advocating lying -- I'm advocating silence.
If you haven't said anything, commented, or taken a position, you haven't lied, and there is nothing to remember later anyway.
To say otherwise it to aver that there is an affirmative duty to speak, and if you don't, you've lied. That is nonsense. Just as we have a right to free speech, we have the freedom NOT to speak.
Your premise is not based on the legitimate facts as we know them.
We are battling voter fraud, internatinal Communist forces, and plans to destroy our Consitution by tying up the states' in a court of law and rendering states' rights null and void.
Please search and read the thread Shadow Government I and Shadow Government II to truly understand why it is important that we are all on the same team.
I'm not a follower or a group joiner by nature - I have my complaints. However, since we don't practice "the ends justify the means" fighting, the only thing we have is consolidation of our resources and work with each other.
Most threads that involve activism don't interest or involve me, but I participate any way - I write letters, emails, etc., because the person making the request is a FReeper. I'm not Catholic, but if called to help the laypeople in some way, I do it. I don't have kids, but if parents ask for action or information on home schooling, I'll try and help. It isn't about me - it's about family. I consider FR family and hope those with a differing opinion on loose lips will see it through these eyes.
