Taking Candy from Babies

As we await the swarming of the socialist hordes, we can take solace in the fact that we enjoy some distinct advantages over our opponents. People who depend upon a paternalistic government for their every need are, by definition, weak, pathetic, helpless losers. They cannot take the first step in life without instructions from some government functionary. They lack ambition and initiative. A lifetime of listening to false promises of something for nothing has dulled their intellects. They spend their lives waiting for some smooth-talking strongman to save them from the burdens of striving and making decisions. They are takers and not contributors. The more advanced among them expect the strongman to vicariously purify their souls by robbing the haves and giving to the have-nots. As the socialist government's promises fail and the promised nirvana fails to materialize, the drones must turn to the more resourceful members of the society for their needs. A black (that is, "free") market appears, which undermines and discredits the government. The government, already corrupt, becomes loathed rather than revered. The free, capitalist system again has the upper hand.

Therefore, do not compromise or throw in with the collectivists. Continue to clearly and forcefully articulate and defend your beliefs; after all, they are correct. Winning an argument with your opponent is like taking candy from a baby. To have the truth echo in his ears will cause his morale to crack.
