I see a recurring theme in all of this, and I find it a little bit disturbing. We act as if there is a uniform code of behavior, and all of the citizens of this country including the politicians and members of the mainstream media all subscribe to it.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Not only is there not a uniform code, the people who are screaming loudest about violations of the civility code (whatever that is) are not only the worst offenders themselves, but fully know and understand that.

For example, there appears to be a rule civility that says you do not call a woman a “slut”. We may adhere to this, and that’s fine. I’m all for it.

But we have to understand that same time that the people making the biggest stink about this are laughing their asses off.

Almost any conservative that I know has seen the famous video clip of Bill Clinton at Ron Brown’s funeral, laughing and joking, then looking up and realizing they are being filmed, suddenly become very somber and straight faced.

We shouldn’t kid ourselves, and neither should we cut our own throats by refusing to recognize it, that liberals practice the same behavior when it comes to this kind of “uncivilized” discourse.

They recognize our weakness in this respect, which for the most part is our honesty, standards that we attempt to adhere to, and desire for consistency.

Most people that I can sort with look at those metrics, and would fully embrace them as positive things. And they are.

But we must also recognize that liberals do not view those in that fashion.

To them, their honesty is different from our honesty. Our honesty on the face of it, is what we think it is. Their honestly is conditional, changeable, and adjustable.

To them, their standards are very different from our standards. Actually, liberals have no standards, because if you have standards and you fail to meet them, that does not mean that you are a fallible human being, it means you’re a hypocrite. To liberals, there is no worse cardinal sin than hypocrisy. So they have no standards. (This is actually, for them at least, the most humorous part. They fully recognize this, and seem to take great jollity in recognizing this and then putting their face in front of a camera and admonishing others for not living up to their standards.This is by design, because fundamentally all committed liberals are devotees of Saul Alinsky at heart, and rule number 4 is one of the most important for them: “Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules. You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity”)

To them, consistency means only one thing: a consistent desire to achieve a goal regardless of the means. And that is it. End of story. All committed liberals understand and believe that the ends justifies the means.

And that is what makes them so evil. If we forget these basic differences, and think for even a single second that they somehow share these values with us, we are slitting our own throats with knives they hand us, as they laugh in the background at our stupidity.

It doesn’t mean that we have to sink to their level, and as someone who hasn’t listened to the entire context of what Rush Limbaugh said yet, I’m not ready to admit that is what happened. But I will say that leaving your back exposed in an environment full of knives waiting to be plunged into it is not a good idea, to say the least. Rush Limbaugh has been doing this long time, and I expect that he does regret having left his back exposed.

But that does not in any way invalidate what I said above. We don’t play by the same rules, and we had better recognize that, for the good of ourselves and our country.
