Stop Allowing The Left To Set The Rules
The American Thinker ^ | September 28, 2009 | Lloyd Marcus

Posted on 09/28/2009 2:21:19 AM PDT by Scanian

I am so sick of the Left being allowed to make the rules. Imagine the absurdity of a competition in which one side is allowed to set the rules against their opponent. The Left tells us what is racist. The Left tells us what we can and cannot say. The Left published a cartoon depicting former black Secretary of State Condolezza Rice as an Aunt Jemima; another depicted Rice as a huge lip parrot for her Massa Bush. Neither were considered racist by their creators or publishers, or even widely condemned on the Left.

In opposition to black Republican Michael Steele's campaign to run for U.S. Senate, a liberal blogger published a doctored photo of Steele in black face and big red lips made to look like a minstrel. The caption read, "Simple Sambo wants to move to the big house". Not one Democrat denounced these racist portrayals of black conservatives.

Ok, I agree, what has taken you people so long to get here.

Let’s start with the word “PC” which actually stands for “Politically Corrupt” or “Political Corruption.” Yet, everyone falls for the Marxist version, when you people start standing up for America and stop worrying about being liked or who is going to call you names this will come to a halt fast! I can attest that when this crap is tried on me they fined a very virulent problem. Stop being spineless and start being Americans of first choice and not convenience.

So let us get this straight: Political Corruption is when someone else can dictate what you can think, say and do; overriding free thinking, common sense, lawful behavior and your First Amendment freedoms.

And for the government or “Friends of Government” to tell anyone what must be said is unconstitutional, however, that has never stopped some in Government from misbehaving under the color of law. Especially, those that want to dictate against freedom.

Most people here say simply “PC,” which could mean Pile of Crap, Purely Corrupt, or anything else you want it to.

I have a personal peeve about the acceptance of the term “birthers” by conservatives. That is a raw smear that came out of the leftist blogs that carries the same stench of derision as “9-11 truther.” No excuse for us falling for it.

The Democrats have the agenda because of having the Presidency, Senate and House. The Republicans had the agenda from 1995 to 2006 and for some reason squandered it.

Republicans and conservatives aren’t into symbolism and BS like the Dhimmis. They are better at the propaganda game, having studied the efforts of their commie heroes.

Dude... the only reason the left can get away with this is because too many people on the right don’t play politics for the bloodsport that it is. As long as one side constantly wimps out of the fight, it is only reasonable to predict the other side will win.

There you go.

Most conservatives have lives outside politics and government whereas the libs’ and lefties’ whole world view revolves around government power and how to get more of it.

We need to get down to their level of nastiness to neutralize what they have been getting away with for years.

And then we’ll have the joy of hearing the likes of Slick Willie complaining about a new, right-wing conspiracy out to deatroy Obama, as we did yesterday.
