Totally true. It makes an otherwise cowardly, elitist appear street tough.

Profanity is the crutch of the conversational cripple.

I noticed that years ago. Liberals are almost always far more rude, and crude. That all started in the 1960’s.

Well of course. What I’d like to see are some stats. Are lefties 10 times more likely to use the F word in their internet writings or 100 times?

Profanity is the appeal to emotion over logic; a staple of Leftists.

It goes right along with their habit of leaving mounds of garbage at political gatherings or wherever they congregate.

I’ve got 29,000 Twitter followers and I Tweet A LOT, mostly conservative politics. When I get trolled by libs, the language is generally so foul it can make a longshoreman blush. Really sick stuff, and I’m not exactly a shrinking violet.

They really have a mental problem.

Well, profanity is the effect of a weak mind trying to express itself forcibly.

My use of profanity is up ten fold since 2008

I would suspect several reasons for this:

First they only react with emotion

Second they are politically correct crippled

Third, between the first two they are in denial of the facts of life. Indeed in so much denial, they cannot even allow themselves alternative thoughts or ideas.

Forth if they do pursue an alternative thought that logically violates their politically correct ideologies, they become frustrated and angry.

Fifth, they cannot accept that everybody doesn’t win in a debate, life, games therefore they refuse to accept facts and to move logically to the conclusion.

Why wouldn’t libs swear more? They don’t have God in their lives, generally speaking. It’s a no-brainer.

We here at FR have known this for a long time. Profanity is the calling card of the left. And their tactics extend far beyond just profanity since they can bend and break rules with impunity.

We needed a study to confirm this?

Conservatives, who “are more likely to emphasize group identity and consensus” according to the researchers, tended to use group terms like “we” and “our”, while terms like “I” and “me” were used by liberals more often. …


Group identity and consensus are not words I would use to describe conservatives. There is a bit of propaganda in the above by the writer, can you identify it? What say the conservatives here?

One of the principles of conservatism is “we stand on the shoulders of giants”. We look at history for ideas to unite us. Consensus is not it, which gives an impression of?

Hopefully conservatives are united around ideas and principles but some times at FR I begin to wonder. There is a lot of “I” and “me” here, but that is a sign of the end times when everyone does what is right in their own minds.

I coached HS baseball for three seasons and NEVER used an expletive.

My fellow coaches however, were another matter.

A lot of conservative opinion writers and politicos use a lot of profanity on Twitter.

A simple trip to the DU cesspool will prove this to be true.

Be sure to wear a Hazmat suit and prepare for decontamination and debriefing when you return.

Use of profanity indicates a lack of creativity
A lack of creativity indicates a lack of intelligence

Just saying
