Oh Geez, a moral yo yo on the loose.
Yes. Let play nice like Dick and Jane. Because its working out so well for us. (/s)
The article said — My main point in raising the issue was not that the word choice itself was grammatically incorrect, however, but that it is evidence of a growing number of people on the Right succumbing to the temptation to use the same vile rhetorical weapon so often deployed by the Left....

Ummmm..., I can attest to that, right here on Free Republic, with some posters responding to my posts... LOL...
You ask what I was saying? Well, glad to oblige...
While trying to talk some “sensibility” into some posters here, about the craziness of the idea of tanks surrounding the White House and evicting Obama, or about the other idea of some judge in the U.S. sending over a U.S. Marshall to the Oval Office to arrest Obama — you should hear what the responses are... :-)
I mean, “talking sense” and pointing out the method for getting rid of a President is Impeachment and Conviction — is enough to get you “tarred and feathered” right here on Free Republic... LOL...
So..., yes, I’ve sorta noticed the “slide to the left”... indeed...
Hey Mark could you at least close the bathroom door when you are in there pleasing yourself!!
The GOP needs to learn how to fight. How to spit. How to gouge eyes. How to kick the enemy below the belt. Until the GOP starts fighting like a wildcat, we have no hope.
And clown's like this play right into his hand
Sorry Mark, but if you get out of your little DC cocoon and deal with the public (ie, the vulgar mob), that is exactly how they communicate and think. In some of the lowest basest terms. Appealing to their “intellectual” won’t work because it just isn’t there.
Alinsky’s methods work for those on the right as well as on the left. Maybe better, Obama does not handle ridicule very well and to be laughed at would seriously unhinge him.
I’m not advocating foul language, but I do think that an activist on the right should bone up on Saul’s work.
I think we should ADOPT the Saul Alinsky playbook, not RESIST it.
I am sick and tired of the double standards
For that reason and as an instructive example, I would never refer to the New York Times as either "idiotic" or "misguided", when the truest appellation would be "traitorous".
The Rats will Bully us till we fight back. And we must.

They deserve the names we call them because they are true. Certainly the author understands how awful they are and simply dividing their behaviour into categories of awfulness(traitor) is putting the specific to his general observation.
The irrational left was hysterically screeching about a Christian president who prayed and read the Bible who had us under a theocracy. Now we have a certifiable ecocracy taking shape, with the goal being not to repower America but to power America down because of our appetites and excesses(in their view). We really are in trouble here. It is not hysterical to call it what it is...
The right can do that as long as it is true. In my opinion of course.
We are effectively faced with a classic, long-term leftist insurgency. This isn't rocket science. You can't win a counterinsurgency with conventional tactics. Don't think the left doesn't know what they are doing.
They're just forcing their enemy (us) into using conventional tactics in the name of "fairness", and "propriety", while they figuratively gut our village elders in front of our eyes to terrorize us and shut us up.
We have to fight them with their own methods, but apply our own imagination and our own dirty tricks. We have to be willing to get our hands dirty.
I have no problem being "uncouth" in my dialog with liberals leftist radicals. It's the only language they understand.
There's two old rules, 2,500 years old, that still hold true today and will beat Alinsky's 'rules' anytime.
Btw, Mark those quotes are from Sun Tzu's, 'The Art of War'. It's still studied at the Army War College today. Maybe YOU should read it too!
I finished reading 'the book' a while back and I'm now half way through the included 'Study Section'. Its 'almost' the best present I ever got. Especially considering 'these times'.
I believe that the election losses have dispirited and demoralized people that would otherwise reject these sorts of tactics. I hope that they will reject them again in the future. I know that people believe the elecetion was the death knell for America but I also believe that this too shall pass.
Reagan was a happy warrior and total gentleman. But he employed Lee Atwater, the most hated political consultant till uber Satan Karl Rove.
