Decency wins

Flake jumps on the renewed "civility movement" which the country fell for in 2001.

It is interesting to look back on how the civility movement got started and where it went. It started with a book by Fornio written in 2002 and became the new leftist talking point in 2011, e.g. the Rally to Restore Sanity put on by Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. A good discussion is the article The Problem with the Civility Movement

Key the article states: "The civility movement is political correctness by another name....Like political correctness, the civility movement seeks to protect us by limiting what we can say in polite society. They seek to be the umpires who can declare what rhetoric is overwrought, dangerous, and unacceptable, and what rhetoric is in bounds. Most of the people trying to play this rhetoric-control game are on the left.

Those of us who have experienced this up close and personally have observed that the call to "civility" is used by the I'm-a-more-equal-pig-than-you bullies who shoulder you into the ditch and then berate you when you swear at the act for being "uncivil."

It's all a big hoax, employed by the GOP stooges of the left, e.g. Bush and McCain, to give them what they want. Flake is on the game as well.

It's a scam and a fraud and those who employ it should be called for what they are, fraud, crooks and fascists.

The last thing these folks want is a genuine civil respectful debate on the issues. Indeed the issues are regarded as "uncivil." Out of control immigration - what are you some kind of racist?

The problem for them is the didn't think through their logic. You see we stupid lazy deplorable Trump supporters just want what we want. Being among the unteachable ignorant masses the appeal to their version of civility is wasted breath.

The real problem is that we don't want civility. We want our country. Are you civil to reprobate theives? Or reprobate genuine rascists or fascits or tyrrants? No? We why should be be civil to these sellouts?

Which I could give a toot about. How many supporters has Trump lost because of their antics?

So they accomplish nothing.

Decent people were reminded of everything we despise about the Washington DC douchebags. McCain's funeral display was nothing but a narcissistic display put on by establishment assholes who think they are better then everyone else. Truth is they are the scum of the earth and we know it. We now have a president who is willing to fight for us instead of the interest of the swamp.

Jeff Flake has a 30% approval rating in his home State. 51% disapprove.

They’re going to bury him?

I thought they were going to prop him up in some museum like Lenin or Mao and sew his ears back on whenever they fall off from time to time.

Seems like McCain chose his own cheerleaders to be at the funeral. Maverick? Pooooof. Liberal Dupe more like it. Joined together with the Flake like Siamese twins.

Flake et al don’t have to beat around the Bush. Being decent means that you’re being honest with the people. McShame didn’t hold back his contempt for the liberty movement Tea Party and Trump supporters.

Now Flake and the Bushies are free to call Trump supporters trolls and voice their support for Fakebook, Google and IRS to shut them down.

Unmasking these anti liberty globalists is progress.

How did decency win? Do you actually mean that it won by having McCain died?

The funeral itself was a circus, a display of bitterness and tackiness and Cindy parading in a low cut dress that by any standard is not proper funeral wear by a widow.

Some here posted that at least Meghan cried big tears at the funeral, but none of the photos I saw showed tears streaming down anybody's face.

Trump should tweet, “Very few people in life are born with a surname that perfectly reflects their personality. I am one of them and Jeff Flake is another.”
