I know. I live in a state that is full of them, so I encounter them a lot more often.

They are commies. As in China’s commies.

The late, great Walter E. Williams was saying this 20 years ago.

Thanks

I figured that was the incident you were talking about, Horowitz outlines it in his book “Radical Son.”

I was wondering if anything had happened to him recently.

We elected Trump four years ago because we knew the political insiders could not be reasoned with. If our President is removed from office illegitimately . . .

Badly needs editing, but I certainly agree with the core of it: “How should we proceed? First, conservatives must stop being ‘conservative’ (as in defensive) and realize that you can’t follow Queensberry rules when the adversary fights no-holds-barred.”

This is the problem. We are conservatives, we don’t do riots. Didn’t do it for 60+ million infants. Won’t do it for — what the Founders did it for.

“Reason” can only work between people who share compatible goals.

The sheep cannot reason the wolf out of a desire to kill and eat the sheep.

Great article, and spot on.

I’m thankful to God that the liberals in my family are just that: liberals, not Leftists.

PING!

The Libs I have to put up with in real life aren’t Leftists, either.

However, the end result is the same. I see them more as Useful Idiots, because they VOTE for the party (top to bottom) that wants to continue to enslave them - and they don’t see it at all!

That article reads like a modern version of the Declaration of Independence. We are declaring independence from libtards.

It’s actually quite easy. You start preaching the gospel to them with the special emphasis of them going to hell where they will be ruled over by a power that does not love them rather than spend eternity in heaven with a god Who loves them, cares about them, created them.

MtnClimber :" Called “leftists” today, they have disordered thinking; married to misbegotten passions and,
disconnected from reason and operating emotionally.."

Historically, we have referred to these passionate folks as "Zealots".
They cannot be reasoned with, as in their own mind, they are always right and correct.
Their model behavior is intransigence, and are unwilling to reconsider their behavior (ie. : AntiFa).
