“jaw-dropping”
And that is EXACTLY our problem. To be surprised by the reaction of these mayors shows just how TOTALLY INEPT our highest-level politicians are, on our side.
If the mayors had said something like: “If Cathy every enters my city, he’ll be jailed on hate crime charges”, then yes, that would be jaw-dropping.
But blocking legitimate businesses has been a tactic of the left FOR DECADES and it’s time some grabbed “our leaders” by the sleeve and TOLD THEM THAT!!!!
I wonder if these mayors are willing to say the same thing about the Boy Scouts? God bless the Boy Scouts, and Chick-Fil-A!!!! (and, of course, the pygmies in Africa)
What about the JOBS??? Chicago unemployment rate at 9.4%.. And who believes that number, I mean really!
And that is EXACTLY our problem. To be surprised by the reaction of these mayors shows just how TOTALLY INEPT our highest-level politicians are, on our side.
I see what you're saying but i think that we should in fact say these things are jaw-dropping, even when we aren't really all that surprised by them. And i imagine that is the case with Pawlenty.
Otherwise it gets no attention. If you just say "well, what do you expect from lefties?" people who don't follow politics will just shrug and think it must be no big deal then. But if you say it's "shocking! jaw-dropping! I can't believe they would do something like this!" that is more likely to get people interested and start thinking that there really is something rotten going on.
In a similar vein i get frustrated when i see a politician speaking out about what the left is doing and people here say "Captain Obvious!" Yes, it may be obvious to us political junkies, but we have to keep getting the message out to those who aren't paying much attention beyond soundbites: which is most of society it seems.
Doing things in a low-key matter-of-fact manner just doesn't work in today's culture. Nor does assuming that we don't need to keep pointing out what should be blatantly obvious to everyone.
And that is EXACTLY our problem. To be surprised by the reaction of these mayors shows just how TOTALLY INEPT our highest-level politicians are, on our side.
I liked what Rush had to say about politicians' and pundits' reaction so far. He said it's pointless and foolish to try to debate or reason with these fascists. The appropriate reaction to them is, "Who the hell do you think you are?" And then you destroy them.
