I stand with you 100%. Now, if we can squash the infighting among ourselves, maybe we can focus our attention of the atrocities of the Left and their lies.
At least I can hope.
I guess they'd have to continue the chart on the right all the way to mono-cellular life forms in order to include the democraps...

Red Rumpus
In the Beginning such people were prominent liberals who were lured into sponsoring or joining organization that seemed American enough at the time. When the Moscow-directed line emerged, numerous liberals quit. But others like those below stuck it out. Some of them were receptive to shrewd Communistic persuasiveness. Some in high positions stubbornly ignored their critics in the honest belief that there would eventually be a meeting of the minds. Still others cynically pursued personal ambition, thinking that Communists could help them along with their careers. Not a few became so notorious that they were accused of being actual members of the party. Some of those pictured here publicly and sincerely repudiate Communism, but this does not alter the fact that they are of great use to Communist cause.
Indeed membership would damage their special usefulness. Innocently or not, they accomplish quite as much as for the Kremlin in their glamorous way as a card holder does in his drab toil. The Communist-front organizations have been exposed often enough, however, so that by now the perennial joiner whose friends try to excuse him be is "just a dupe," is clearly a superdupe

This is eye-opening.
It is truly amazing how the Democrats can twist any law to suit their purpose. Of course that's not difficult for those who believe the end justifies the means. They're busy twisting and tweaking CFR as we speak. Thanks for the post. It's very informative.
But anticonservative web discussion is no more of a challenge to us than anticonservative talk radio--no real factor. Why? Because the niche for anticonservative discussion is filled by journalism. Journalists and other anticonservatives define "objectivity" as the opposite of "conservative," and conduct a jihad against any conservative being positioned as being objective.
The internet is the medium best suited for rational give-and-take, even more than talk radio. Slash-and-run tactics don't work so well when the audience can reread the attack and compare with the rational response. Superficiality is a crashing bore on the Internet venue, just as it is in talk radio. So I say, if (to a specific individual) you can't promote FR in particular, promote the Internet in general anyway. They just might figure it out on their own . . .
These people are sad. Imagine the self-loathing from which such hate and self-justification spews.
