We had to learn to express our views, explain to people in a persuasive way what we believed and at the same time we're being challenged and impugned and laughed at, mischaracterized by the left and the media, and yet we forged ahead. After 50 years we've gotten damn good at telling people why we think what we think. The left hasn't. The left can't tell anybody why they think what they think. All they can do is discredit us and try to scare people into thinking we somehow mean harm to them. They can't explain their positions. All they can do is articulate them. That's why they're losing elections. I mean none of this is particularly upsetting to me but it is an interesting intellectual exercise to try to explain them, and I defy anybody to be able to do it. I mean you can come up with examples. But to give me a reason why a 35-year-old human being in America living a prosperous life hates this country and accuses this country first, assumes this country is the enemy, I defy you to give me an intellectual explanation that I will accept. There isn't one. There are only psychological and emotional reasons and they make no sense whatsoever. You can go nuts trying to understand it. It's best to laugh at it and understand that it all means they're losing. No matter where you look they're losing. No matter where you look, other than their strongholds. But even in their strongholds there's some trouble because there's some defectors. Some liberals can't abide it anymore. We've had their columns on this program. They can't abide the intellectual hypocrisy. They can't abide the dishonesty. They can no longer associate themselves with it. They can't explain it themselves, and they'd rather not.
