It’s dangerous to everyone that the left underestimates the resistance they would/will face.
It's just as dangerous to underestimate the left on this issue; the bill is not dead.
I am writing key senators who voted against it and stroking them, while at the same time acknowledging they will be faced with revisiting the issue again soon, and that I expect them to "stick to their guns".
Much as I wish we could declare it dead and replenish our ammo stocks... it's not going to happen until the 2014 elections cleanses Washington - if it does.
“It’s dangerous to everyone that the left underestimates the resistance they would/will face.”
I disagree!
Allow the Left to become more underestimating, and determined that THEY believe that THEY know, what they do not.
Not if, but when the resistance, if you will, does occur, how much more quickly will their hearts and minds, chip and shatter? How much more quickly will ‘the dog piles’ occur, in their efforts to find the cockroach-comfortable corners, only to have those corners refused? How quickly will their self-made resilience wither, in the face of self-determined free Americans?
Bill Clinton warned Democrats about this in January, urging them to remember that “these polls that you see saying the public is for us on all these issues — they are meaningless if they’re not voting issues.”
For a large plurality if not an outright majority of Americans, this issue is a direct challenge to their most fundamental rights. This is not simply a voting matter, it is a killing matter. This isn't highway funding or midnight basketball, it's life or death. We don't need to be dragged down that road by the ideologically blindered.
