... that our brains are in danger of falling out.
Don't forget, the Left believes that the ends justifies the means. There is no loyal opposition. There is no marketplace of ideas. All conservative thought has been branded evil.
We have let the Left neuter our language. We speak of "pro-life/pro-choice" when we should be speaking of "anti-abortion/pro-abortion". A late-term "fetus" is actually an "unborn baby". "Entitlements" are actually "welfare" which is really "handouts".
Paying taxes is patriotic? Hello? Up is down? Black is white? American Revolution anybody? We all know all about the whole taxation without representation schtick, but why wasn't Biden pilloried with it? Instead it's debated as if it's a concept worthy of serious discussion.
We're all too easily cowed by the threat of being called insensitive, racist, misogynist, homophobic, etc.
As a conservative you are not considered a decent person. If you qualify a statement, "I'm not a <fill in the blank>, BUT...", you are just confirming the preexisting bad opinions that others have of you.
Speak your mind unreservedly. Don't hesitate to mercilessly criticize the politically correct. If we don't advocate for our own beliefs, then who will?
