We Liberals often operate under a handicap.  We inform opinions with reason, logic and fact, especially historical facts.  We know that cooperation balances competition and both are necessary.  We tolerate personal behaviors that do no societal harm such as sexual orientation while condemning public behaviors that are harmful such as corporations hiding $2 trillion overseas to avoid taxation.  We know that humanity thrives on progressive action and stagnates on conservative inaction.  Stagnation is death.
We believe that people such as Jamison are a Honorable Opposition with common goals for our country, differing only in method.  We're wrong.  They're a loud minority animated by fear to support a national agenda of greed and power-lust that guarantees our destruction as a representative democracy if allowed free reign.
We can't convince them, only marginalize them.  We must mobilize our own, defeat their candidates and curb the power of those who profit by gulling them.
