We've never really tried. I keep hearing the self-defeatist crap about how it's hopeless because the country is so conservative. If that's the case, why are we pro-choice? Why is the anti-abortion-rights crowd so frustrated as to resort to terrorism? It's because the pro-life cause has made its case forcefully. It's time the rest of the left wing learned a few lessons from this one issue and stop accepting moderate-conservatives as the best that can be achieved.
Are you suggesting the liberal progressives resort to random acts of deadly violence? Aren't those that have commited these violent crimes been arrested, tried and convicted? Haven't they been considered extremist members and denounced by the moderate-conservatives in the party? How is your action going to be any different?
