FREE SPEECHOPHOBES--Speaking of -ists and -phobes, let's call liberals/leftists what they are

Posted on 05/09/2016 11:58:47 AM PDT by Cubs Fan

Most people here I'm sure are all too familiar with it--Liberals don't debate their side anymore. Instead they twist everything into an accusation of-- racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, Islamophobia and all the rest. Its intellectually lazy and dishonest, nearly always inaccurate, and a bald faced totalitarian tactic. But worst yet, too often, in today's world it seems to be effective.

So next time you argue with a liberal and have stated your case with logic and intelligence and their inevitable response is "Hey man, you can't say that, that's totally ___phobic."--give them some of their own medicine--let's call the liberals/leftists what THEY REALLY are--Free Speechophobes.


TOPICS: Editorial; FReeper Editorial; Politics/Elections
KEYWORDS:
IMO that there is great power in terminology. So if you like the term, please pass it on.

Liberals/Leftists are Free Speechophobes.

How about “ eleftheriaphobe” which means “fear of freedom”?

All discussion and argument with hard-core leftists is a total waste of time in most cases. They will always respond with blanket assertions of your phobias that don’t exist, or they will use the annoying “I don’t understand what you are saying” approach which really means “my brain cannot process words like that, sorry.”

I used to try to engage when liberals went into their little digs to each other (another favorite tactic is to say things to each other that are meant to yank your chain) but now if pressed I just say that I have moved beyond political discussion although my views have not changed, or just that I find it uncomfortable to argue politics at the dinner table (using their jargon) perhaps I should add that I prefer to remain in my safe space which is, well, sanity.

Why we even have any relations with liberals at all is a great mystery to me, I think they should have to wear an identifying label so they can be shunned and assembled for re-education, I mean, what’s good for the goose ...

Really, really bad idea, reminds me of Flush Limbaughs “low information voter” another form of PC speech.

Fascism works, fascist/socialist also work.
