Too many on the rational side of the spectrum are living in the powdered-wig era of the Founders where gentlemanly conduct and the existence of a "loyal opposition" was considered to be a given.
This is expressed in the [current year] by statements like, "not being too High-handed and Preachy" or, "We're better people than to use [tactic x]", or "let's not descend to their level".
Well guess what: It doesn't make any difference how "Even-Handed and non-Preachy" you look, how much 'better' you are, or what 'level' you're on, if you'reextinct. And make no mistake, they want you extinct; meaning at minimum, jobless, unable to communicate or raise funds, and socially 'black-balled'.
Then there's the baseball-bat and bike-lock brigade...
Time to harden our hearts, while they're still beating. Outsiders with older, harder cultures are 'looking', too.
