The left has been stoking the immoral, unethical, indecent, and impolite fires for decades.
And this is the result . .the level of their discourse is beyond decency, it’s childish and reprehensible.
You can’t murder fifty-two million babies and have “civility.”
We are in a war. Our government is in the hands of mass murderers, liars, thieves, tyrants.
Note that what Joe Wilson said was true, while what Rachel Maddow said was a lie. That’s infinitely more important than “incivility.”
Just words....
Quite the indictment of the established press, wouldn't you say?
That the statement is dead wrong is not the point: that a "journalist" would say this about his fellow writers is damning on many levels.
Liberals have no problem with personal attacks when they're spewing them, As a rule conservatives argue with facts, liberals respond with personal insults in order to shut them up because they don't have common sense and logic to back them up. Look at Glenn Beck, he makes his argument, gives his facts , backs it up with clips and statements and yet any rebuttal is a personal attack. They never refute his actual argument, which is why he has the red phone on his show, this way if his facts are wrong he invites people to call and refute them, So far it's never rung.
The “Mom” check won’t work. When Obama pulled a hoodie style shoot the finger at Hillary, McCain and accused the general public of lying about HealthControl, would his fifth column Marxist slut of a mother have objected? Surely not.
Unless serial abandonment of her spawn is a form of objection.
Anyway, this article is simply a surveyor’s stake for left wing censorship. They cannot win without ignorance and probably terror, so now is the time to defend the 1st and 2nd Amendments like never before.
Being a male, I would be concerned what my mother thought, but I would be very concerned about what my daddy thought. My mother worked on emotion, what was good for her family and church. My daddy worked on logic, what was good for his family as well as the nation. Each of my parents needed to be listened to and their opinions brought together in context. The more we segregate their opinions, the more we segregate the family.
Lately, before I share my brilliant wisdom, perceptive insights, trenchant comments and arch wit, I ask myself (don’t insert old joke about self here, “self,....”?) does the world really want or need my, probably silly or smart a$$ comments, and increasingly, the answer is no.
Thank you, thank you very much.
Does a single person on the left understand the difference between the rights of a person running their own blog and the limits placed on Congress?
BTW, LBJ, Johnson had a sewer mouth so this started long before Cheney.
Oh, NOW the Lefties are concerned with civility?!
When did it all begin? I was gone from the country for 5 years, 1969 to 1974 when I was serving first in Viet Nam, then Germany. I did not return to the country I left. Gone were many common courtesies practiced as I grew up and simple friendly gestures extended to most all.
For those old enough, if you recall all of the societal norms were pretty much to be rejected and replaced with the “free love” and “anti-establishment” attitude.
You are now experiencing the unintended consequences of rejecting such norms that held society together.
In essence, the baby was thrown out with the bathwater.
Asking if your mother would approve is fruitless because how many really care about their mother today?
There are probably a number of sources. Certainly Saul Alinsky’s command to “Pick the target. Freeze it, personalize it and polarize it.” implies a certain arrogance. In other words, ideology is all and feeds into a certain sense of superiority. You view your target as having nothing to contribute if he/she does not share your ideology. Just call your target names rather than engage in any sort of useful discussion. Don’t listen; don’t make the assumption that anyone other than those with your point of view have anything useful to say. Alinsky wanted us to be polarized and he has succeeded.
I remember when Gerald Ford died. It was pointed out in news accounts that he had invited the leftist Democrat George McGovern to the White House because he had not been invited for awhile. It was a more civil time, a time when the Marxists had not yet entrenched their tentacles into American society.
The author is a Weiner.
blah...blah...blah...My mother approved this post
You know what, I can’t for the life of me take someone seriously when all of their examples are some of the comments from the rigth and they competely ignore the hateful small mindedness that the left exhibits constantly. They have not seen anything from our side that is even in the same ballpark as comments heard regularly from the left. Get used to it lefitists you started it.
