Let me begin by saying to all you leftists that I told you so.
Lots of leftists are supporting raping, mass-murdering Seventh Century semi-humans, and they are mad that they are now being treated like people who support raping, mass-murdering Seventh Century semi-humans. Apparently, this is a terrible attack on free speech and McCarthyism and probably Islamophobic and transphobic and is the worst thing ever since the last thing that was the worst thing ever.
Well, I think it’s kind of funny.
They are mad and accuse us conservatives of now embracing cancel culture. You can argue about the definition of cancel culture, but I’m not going to bother because I am totally indifferent to anything leftists tell me. Maybe it’s cancel culture and maybe it’s not. I don’t care. I just want supporters of raping, mass-murdering Seventh Century semi-humans to be driven from civilized society for supporting raping, mass-murdering Seventh Century semi-humans. I think that’s a reasonable position to take in light of all the circumstances.
Of course, one of the key circumstances is the existence of the New Rules. Now, understand that I was against the New Rules where people’s political views would cause them to be driven from their jobs and relationships and polite society in general. I strongly supported the notion that people should be free to be able to say whatever they thought with no organized, systematic repercussions. It was called tolerance, and it worked pretty well.
...
Obviously, if you’re a black guy and a job applicant comes in wearing the form-fitting pointy cap of the Democrat-founded KKK, I’m thinking you probably wouldn’t hire him. But I’m thinking that society would have been better off if we had continued to honor the norm that what you think about politics should generally be put aside from what you do on the job and in your interpersonal relationships. I thought this was a really good way to do things and I thought we should keep doing it that way.
But I lost that argument. I was overruled. People on the left decided that no, we have a lot of trouble supporting our terrible and gross ideas, so we’re going to try to intimidate people by taking action against their jobs and ability to live in our society in order to get them to conform to our communist worldview. I thought this was a terrible idea. I argued long and hard that our society should not embrace this paradigm. I said that we should keep the Old Rules and not substitute these New Rules. I also pointed out, very specifically, that the New Rules would end up biting the left on their collective Schumer.
But I was ignored. I was outvoted, to the extent there was a vote and not just sort of a consensus decision by the elite imposing the New Rules upon the rest of us. I tried. I argued long and hard against it. I warned people that there would be consequences and they might not like how it ended up. But I lost.
Our culture decided to embrace the New Rules, where economic and cultural power would be leveled against people whose views were determined to be repellent by the cultural curators. And the leftists loved it. They thought it was the greatest thing ever. They enjoyed their petty tyranny over normal people. Normal people got fired for questioning, for example, the utter nonsense of alleged systematic racism. People got driven out of jobs for making political contributions to designated bad causes, which were always conservative causes. One guy, some kind of lineman for a power company, even got fired for making the OK symbol with his fingers. Apparently, this meant he loved Hitler somehow, though apparently loving Hitler is currently cool with the leftists.
They just enjoyed the power that they were able to leverage to make people afraid and conform. They enjoyed the New Rules because it was fun to hurt people who they didn’t like. Until the New Rules got applied to them. Then it was not so fun. Then it sucked, for them.
It’s probably petty to point out that I told you so, but I told you so.
Normal people are disgusted by the sight of leftists supporting raping, mass-murdering Seventh Century semi-humans, and they are applying the applicable rules, which are the New Rules. Oops. Suddenly, the leftists are experiencing what leftists have been imposing on other people – except leftists actually deserve the treatment. Normal people see leftist celebrating savagery and are thinking, “You know, these people suck, and I want them to suffer.” So leftists supporting raping, mass-murdering Seventh Century semi-humans are getting exposed and fired. There are Twitter accounts devoted to identifying the leftists who are supporting raping, mass-murdering Seventh Century semi-humans, including the spoiled jerks who rip up pictures of kidnapped kids because they don’t like having the reality of what they support made public.
They are losing their gigs, and it’s got to be a sigh of relief for the rest of us. You have doctors talking about how Jews are awful, and I’m not sure those are the kind of people you want treating patients. And you have other people too, models and artists and other schmucks, and they’re losing their gigs too. They are very sad.
Well, I told you so.
College professors and regime media hacks are complaining that we have a new McCarthyism. Good! McCarthy was right. The American government was riddled with communists, and there should be a giant statue of 'Tail Gunner Joe' in DC with flowers strewn upon it. When these commies cry “McCarthyism!” I don’t think of bigotry against dissenting points of views. I think of being brd and seeing how a lot of people in positions of authority are either leftists supporting raping, mass-murdering Seventh Century semi-humans or are tolerant of leftists supporting raping, mass-murdering Seventh Century semi-humans.
If McCarthyism means seeing that there are bad people in positions of power in our culture, society, and government, and that they must be driven from it, count me in. If cleansing public life of the Hamas toe-suckers is the goal, I wish to score.
This gets me called a “hypocrite” on social media, but it’s technically wrong. I’m not a hypocrite, because I was always against what was called “cancel culture.” But I lost that argument. I’m just going with the flow. All hail the New Rules!
Now, just as I predicted, the people behind the New Rules are taking this like a five pointed suppository. I just want to say to them, as they cry, that I told you so.
I told you so.
I told you so.
Your tears amuse me.
I told you so.
“They saw how we talked about American values like capitalism and God, but sent our manufacturing, technology, and money to a communist nation that oppresses the church just to save a few pennies”
There was a period where we thought that the Chinese were going to slowly transition away from authoritarianism and be more like postwar Germany, Japan and South Korea. So it wasn’t only about cost, it was about opportunities.
We’re in the same position now with the middle east and Russia.
It’s obvious that Putin has for 15 years been far more interested in creating an authoritarian gangsterist empire on the Warsaw Pact and USSR footprint through conquest, than in coming in from the cold.
The EU tried for fifteen years to look the other way and downplay Russian aggression in the hope of a change of heart, but Europe now needs to accept that currently any peace with Russia utterly depends on western Europe screwing over far more reliable allies further east.
Anyone reading the Russian demands to NATO from December 2021 can see the intention; Russia wanted NATO to leave all countries east of Germany open to Russian interference if not outright invasion. The Kremlin reiterated these demands in the spring 2022 negotiations. Yes, Boris Johnson told Zelenskyy these terms were unacceptable but only a Russian stooge cannot see that he was speaking for all of EU NATO members and its Nordic partners when he said it.
The USA needs to think like that too and get out of the bad habit of thinking NATO is ONLY there for the benefit of the USA. The USA remains the only NATO country to invoke Article 5, and when it called, EU NATO answered. The EU NATO countries need to pick up their share of the tab, Trump was right on that, but EU NATO keeps Russia looking at “enemies” westward instead of turning its attention fully eastward.
There’s no point the USA getting directly involved in cultural conflicts with Russia, the Middle East or China, but if Five Eyes and NATO don’t stand firm together, sooner or later Russia and China will attack us through our weakest links. Hoping they attack Europe instead of the USA is poor strategy.
The McCarthy referred to as being right - Senator Joe McCarthy - was never Speaker:
“College professors and regime media hacks are complaining that we have a new McCarthyism. Good! McCarthy was right. The American government was riddled with communists, and there should be a giant statue of ‘Tail Gunner Joe’ in DC with flowers strewn upon it.”
“..., but I’m not going to bother because I am totally indifferent to anything leftists tell me.
That is a bottom line statement for me. “
If I performed a service for these people, they get charged more, an un-discount, and never never explain why or reason with them about anything. A. Waste. Of. Time.
McCarthy was Wrong. That’s why he is no longer Speaker.....
🤭🤭🤭🤣🤣🤣
That’s true, but we both know that THAT McCarthy is the wrong McCarthy.
The former Speaker was a True Kevin; isn’t that a Karen/ Ken brother?
I don’t know why this is so hard to understand. islam is evil. It’s a kind of mass delusion centered on murder, rape, lies, theft, genocide and deep, deep racism.
It’s not a religion, it’s a war plan. There is no such thing as moderate or benevolent islam. ALL islam is evil. The founder was evil incarnate; a drunken, murderous pedophile with delusions of grandeur and serious anger issue.
It is cultural cancer. One does not willingly compromise with cancer, one destroys it or is destroyed by it. This is the choosing time.
No he was right and history has proved it time and again. Do try and keep up Pal.
I suspect your internet provider is a loonie leftest organization as well, maybe even your electric provider but here you are still using them. We don't choose to support them we are forced to use them because no conservative had the foresight to create Amazon. WalMart was created by a conservative that raised a bunch of leftest kids, which seems an almost inevitable outcome in our society today.
I use Amazon because the items I purchase there are unavailable to me any other way.
I hope you are joking...
Just in case though...
Wrong McCarthy.
My take—we live in enemy occupied territory.
We need to act as people have done throughout history in such situations.
Be polite, live well below your means—and do the best you can to boycott what works for you.
You don’t need to justify what you do because you stopped caring what anybody thinks anymore.
You are in enemy territory—and nobody in power cares what you think anyway.
But, they live among us and there seems to be enough of them to wreak havoc by their votes or by rigging elections, i.e., Virginia’s legislative and Kentucky’s governor results.

Yes, my comment was not intended as a defense for how those people think or behave. They pose a danger to all of us and need to be dealt with in whatever way is necessary to eliminate that threat.
Yes we do. When you get to feeling down, just listening too the Goodmans sing "This Place is Not My Nome" cheers me up. I have been here about long enough anyway, took my first Oath to the Constitution in 1954 at age 16 I still honor it, sadly most politicians don't anymore. It was a great ride.
“ McCarthy was Wrong. That’s why he is no longer Speaker.”
Wrong McCarthy.
L
Unreadable. Stop posting this shit.
Maybe. I need electricity and the Internet, but I don't need their TV service. I agree with your point that we can't get away from them entirely, but I only need the Internet and electricity. I don't need their TV service or the leftist media that I would be paying for with it, so I cut it out. I don't miss it.
I use Amazon because the items I purchase there are unavailable to me any other way.
I have no idea what you get from them that you can't get from someone else, and I won't ask you to give out any personal information, so I'll take your word for it. Everything I need I get from other sources.
The problem with that is that Bush and the GOP gave them permanent MFN status AFTER they had stolen our technology during the Clinton years. We knew what they were up to, but we sent our manufacturing, technology, and money over there anyway.
Hoping they (Russia and China) attack Europe instead of the USA is poor strategy.
Sending our manufacturing, technology, and money to China was an even worse strategy. The American tax payers that were paying into our infrastructure and military were replaced by Chinese workers that are paying into their infrastructure and military. Meanwhile, we have to borrow to keep our economy from crashing and raise our debt ceiling just to pay the interest on our debt. What kind of a strategy is that?
I’m so glad I looked at ‘replies’ to your post before I repeated everything. HAHA!
Interesting take. I like his writing. Why is it BS?
100%, FRiend, 100%!
Even in the metaphorical sense they need to "pay more" in any interaction in whatever way it can be extracted from them.
Ignore them, pretend to not speak English, pretend not to understand them and make them repeat themselves, speak to them like they are children, whatever comes to mind. "and never explain why"
