They need to be confronted and called out. Why are they so afraid? Why do they want you afraid? <br /><br />In Canada we had the Conservatives trying this tactic of fear. I was afraid it would work but luckily it didn't it was resoundingly rejected. People will actually repond to hope. Obama won on hope and appealing to peoples better instincts. <br /><br />It also helps that reality is liberal and tolerant.

I agree that we need to stop running scared and call out these bigots. I'm so tired of the right-winger Christianists framing the questions and the debate. Our side always seems to be on the defensive. Where I live, we lost the first and second go round of same-sex marriage debates because of this very thing. Our local chapter of HRC was so timid that despite having a prodigious war chest to fight with, they came out with very weak defense. They had the attitude that we must be very careful not to offend, when the other side was pulling out all the stops and lying through their teeth. Keep up the good fight. Your blog is one of the better voices out there.Bradnoreply@blogger.com
