“I AM criticizing the use of the racist term ‘mongrel’.”
The word “mongrel” is no more racist than the word “macaca”.
“When YOU use the term, you lose the legitimacy of all ideological and policy criticism.”
Absolutely not. One, Conservatism is NOT an ideology. It is the application of common sense. Conservatives don’t believe in anything political, they only believe in the real world, or what Rush Limabaugh calls “Literalville”. We support the Constitution because we know it works. We support lower taxes because we know it grows the economy. We’re pro-life because we know abortion murders children. We could go on and on.
And secondly, two and two always make four, no matter what. Putting something in a not-so nice way (to some) doesn’t change the legitimacy of what’s actually said. For example:
***
2+2=4
2+2=4, ya big dope! (Hat tip Mark Levin)
***
Neither one of those statements are incorrect, are they?
Please don’t take this wrong way and see this as a personal attack, but it’s attitudes like yours is one of the big reasons why Obummer is stinking up the White House in the first place. Now I’ll be the first to admit that Ted Nugent goes overboard. I admitted as much to Sunkenciv elsewhere on this thread. At the same time, we can’t fight politically by Marquess of Queensbury Rules while the Authoritarian Left uses brass knuckles. Juan McLame did and lost. Mitt Trotsky did and lost. Sometimes you just gotta get dirty.
The word “mongrel” is no more racist than....
You are WRONG!!!
On all counts!
