Somebody should put out a “Jane you ignorant sl—!” Alert when this lady speaks to the press... Thousands of families, old folks, protesting and picking after themselves, and they are all terrorists. That is deliberate ignorance and slandering calumny on the highest order.
When the media and these politicians say stuff like this, who are they targeting? They must be trying to convince somebody important. They have their own base sewn up so it isn’t them. They certainly aren’t going to convince conservatives.
It has to be the squishy “niceness” police made up of Catholic and High protestant soccer moms and self proclaimed middle of the road metrosexual males. They don’t like high taxes but evil “extreme” people are anathema. They’ll go for who ever promises to be “the nicest people”! They vote in enough numbers to make the difference in a lot of elections but as a general rule they have no deep core principles other than the fact that you have to be nice and make sure your dish placements are all in the proper order. Many of them “worship God” but deny his power, hence their aversion to “extremist Christians” and all their talk of blood spilled for our sins...(”oooooo
icky”) and actually living up to what Christ advocated. Which means, of course taking stands on issues that at times puts us at odds with the “niceness police”.
You are one of the better writers here on Free Republic. Hats off.
Very good. As Chesterton said, “Tolerance is the virtue of the man with no convictions.”
