'The battle in America between left and liberal continues, and its outcome will determine the future of the world, much more so than the war on Islamo-nazism. '

That is indeed the Good Fight of our day. The frustrating thing is, it can't be fought with fists or fighter jets. In this battle, the pen is not just mightier than the sword, it is the sword, and our Education is our armory - the left has always known this, the Right has forgotten it. The left has also known that if they could manage to discard Metaphysics, or cause the Right to be embarrassed by it - then the Right would be enemies in name only, their attempts to fight the left would be for position only, having been conned into flying the same flag.

That's about where we are with McCain.

The real battle is in the schools, in our associations and in our daily words and actions. Anytime you let a remark go unanswered, we yield ground.

It is an unpleasant thought.

Accepting it will lead to many uncomfortable encounters, distasteful to decent and polite people.

And the left knows it. And the left counts on it."
