ROGER SIMON AND DR. HELEN have an interesting pair of posts on the value (or lack thereof) of conservative 'bitching and whining'. After reading both posts, it seems to me that both are arguing in favor of Andrew Brietbart's philosophy: punch back, twice as hard. I agree. Speak up! Strongly, loudly, and as necessary, rudely (or as Instapundit would put it, 'mock them'.)
