I do not want civil discourse
Don Surber Blog ^ | 1-16-11 | Don Surber

For a decade, from the election of Bush 43 forward, the Left has lied and cheated as it tried to return to power. Al Gore made a mockery out of the American electoral system by being a spoilsport over Florida, which Bush indeed won by 537 votes. Dan Rather forged a document to try to derail Bush’s re-election. Twice Democrats stole U.S. senators from the Republicans. After voting to support the war to get by the 2002 election, many Democrats quickly soured on the war. The profane protests were cheered by liberals who misattributed “dissent is the highest form of patriotism”to Thomas Jefferson; the words belong to the late historian Howard Zinn.

Once in power, liberals were the opposite of gracious.

For two years now, I have been called ignorant, racist, angry and violent by the left. The very foul-mouthed protesters of Bush dare to now label my words as “hate speech.”

Last week, the left quickly blamed the right for the national tragedy of a shooting spree by a madman who never watched Fox News, never listened to Rush Limbaugh and likely did not know who Sarah Palin is.

Fortunately, the American public rejected out of hand that idiotic notion that the right was responsible.

Rather than apologize, the left wants to change the tone of the political debate.

The left suddenly wants civil discourse.

Bite me.

The left wants to play games of semantics.

Bite me.

The left wants us to be civil — after being so uncivil for a decade.

Bite me.

There is grown-up work to do now. Liberals ran up the federal credit card, destroyed the American medical system and undermined the rule of law — which is the foundation of capitalism — with a bunch of unconstitutional fiats from the president and his bureaucracy.

The economy is a mess. The president “inherited” a 7.6% unemployment rate. It’s now 9.4% — after we spent a record $787 billion on a stimulus.

I was not consulted on that stimulus. I had a very good argument against it. I said the money supply was too large and printing more money would fail. I said let the economic downturn run its course.

Lefties were too busy celebrating the 2008 election to listen.

When people protested lefties made vulgar remarks about tea-bagging and giggled.

So screw you and your civil discourse.

I don’t want to hear it.

I have been screamed at for 10 years.

It’s my turn now. I am not going to scream back. But I refuse to allow anyone to dictate what I say or how I say it. I refuse to allow the same foul-mouthed, foul-spirited foul people who dumped on me to now try to tell me what I may or may not say.

My free speech matters more than the feelings of anyone on the left. You don’t like what I say? Tough.

I will not allow people to label my words Hate Speech or try to lecture me on civility. I saw the lefty signs. The left’s definition of civil discourse is surreal.

We have a terribly unfit president who has expanded government control beyond not only what is constitutional but what is healthy for our freedom.

Indeed, this call for civil discourse is itself a direct threat to my free speech.

So screw you.

You don’t like my words? You don’t like my tone? You feel threatened?

Too bad.

No.

Actually, that is what I want. I want the lefties to feel bad. I want them to feel hurt. I want them to cry to their mommies.

That way the field will be cleared so we grown-ups can fix the nation and the economy. If you can’t put up with a little excrement, get the hell out of the barn.

"I want the lefties to feel bad. I want them to feel hurt. I want them to cry to their mommies."

Civil discourse is coming, like it or not. The Leftists aren't just going to run home and cry to mommy (or their two mommies, two daddies, mommy and a goat, daddy and a horse, whatever). As they lose their grip on the power they believe is theirs by right, they're coming unglued. It's not the "militia movement" that's going to foment civil discourse, it's Leftist groups backed by international communist organizations like the WWP and International ANSWER.

The article is right: don't censor your own speech in the name of "civility". Don't shy away from speaking your mind and speaking the truth. But realize that civil disorder is on its way, and it could get bloody. Our enemies aren't just going to run home and cry in their pillows...terrorist bombings, assassinations, kidnappings, outright street battles with the police and military, don't put anything past them. Our nation will resemble Athens, Paris and London if we're lucky. Mexico and Colombia if we're not.

I agree with every point made.

But I wonder, what will we do if they don’t stop what they are doing?

You say, “I will not allow people to label my words Hate Speech or try to lecture me on civility.”

I will not let an attack on my words go unanswered.

I will not begin any fight but I will do all in my power even to my death to win any fight brought my way. There are days I pray that the left and their mindless minions bring a fight.

I do not like the mockery that has been made of our United States and the Constitution, I resent it, I hate it and I want it to end.

The domestic enemy within, (american marxists and the degenerate Congressional Progressive caucus and their comrades in the press), are the existential threat to the USA, not the ragheads.
Their unrelenting attacks on the natural order must be repelled and the lefts ability to make mischief neutralized.

That means congressional hearings, prosecutions, investigations, imprisonment, and not allowing them to hide, rest, or regroup.

Yep, it’s so obvious. Like a dirty fighter who gets knocked to his knees and suddenly wants to call a truce. I’m not buying it either.

Dan Rather forged a document to try to derail Bush’s re-election.

That is an inaccurate statement. Dan Rather did not forge the documents. IMHO they would have been even clumsier forgeries if he had.

At worse, Dan totally neglected to have the anonymously sent documents vetted. That makes it gross incompetence on his part, not malice. Not to say he isn't malicious, just that his total lack of honesty and integrity were more important in this case.

No mention of those forgeries is complete without this old favorite:

“Civil discourse” is just another word for bi-partisanship. This is unelected influence liberals demand when they are in the minority. Been going on forever.

"Civil discourse" does not mean "no dissent."

I agree with the “Bite me” statement, although I wouldn’t want them to actually do it. They might give me their brain disease.

They are trying to deflect the truth, truth about many things like how they think we are empty-mided sheep, how they have no honor and no real love of anything but power and are willing sacrafice anything to get it (even throw the baby out with the bathwater). They like to talk about greedy capitalists, but in reality there is no matching the damage to society by greedy politicians. It would be nice if they would pull the log out of thier own eyes before commenting on the splinters in others.

I agree with what you say, but, the rock worshippers are a clear and present danger enabled by the PC climate of the leftists. They are in lockstep with the progressives who wish to destroy our way of worship, life and liberty.

o far, I have seen insufficient evidence that the GOP wishes to really stop Obama's push into Leftist tyranny. The GOP, IMO, still doesn't get it, and still sees the Tea Party as the biggest threat to the country.

Alas, this is becoming evident. For example, Democrats criticized the Republicans for using the expression "job-killing" to describe Obamacare, saying that it's too violent. Most of us on FR would say this charge is fatuous, yet just this morning, I heard on Fox News that Rep. John Boehner is now using the term "job-destroying" to describe Obamacare.

It is changing between two documents. One is the document Dan Rather had to "prove" that Bush 43 was given special protection while in the TANG, the other was made with computer software not available in 1973. You will note that they are virtually identical, the differences are believed to be caused by copying and then copying the copy a number of times to make it look old.
