It's hard taking advice on ‘civility’ from people who first of all, probably can't spell much less define it, who do not now/have never practiced it and wouldn't recognize it if it fell on them from the 10th story ... AND people who don't even comprehend basic personal hygiene.

Why do I want lectures on ‘civility’ from this crowd??

After the savage beatings that the Bush admin took for eight years, hypocrisy seems to be an understatement for describing the left. Let’s go back and review the columns and air time by various leftists who are now complaining about incivility and see if they were squawking about the left’s daily smearing of Bush. I doubt we’ll find any.

Thank you. This was good. I liked this part:

“Then as now, “civility” was nothing more than a euphemism for the docile acceptance of liberalism’s advance and “incivility” was equated with effective resistance to it.”
