I despise them and pity them at the same time.

The one on the left is a male, I think. Of course, these days who knows, right.

8) Wrong Side Of History

aka These Kids Will Be In Charge Soon And They Will Sort Your A** Out.

This may tie into #4 and #7 but absent any cogent argument, point of fact or law, I’m seeing a lot of You Conservative/Constitutionalist Scum Will Be Dead Soon And We’ll Do What We Like posts from fainting-couch lefties.

Obviously, they’re ignoring demographics, Census figures, etc. in order to claim that there will be a mass extinction soon. And will the extinction somehow choose victims by political affiliation?

The Wrong Side Of History argument was a favorite of the gay marriage crowd. They were unable, of course, to explain how humanity survived and thrived with a) actual marriage being the custom in almost every culture regardless of language, ethnicity, geography, etc. and b) how couples whose anatomy matched planned on procreating.

And what does The Wrong Side Of History even mean? Is a Douglas Brinkley going to write nasty things about us? Isn’t he already doing that? Isn’t history simply a record of events? How can there be any right or wrong associated with if IF it’s history and not propaganda? The Wrong Side Of History might be called preemptive virtue signaling ie the political correct types are claiming to be correct before time elapses or they will do their usual thumb-on-the-scale routine to ensure they are on the ‘right’ side.

A good example: some acquaintance of mine was in a snit because the Parkland student, a skinhead lesbian, was described as, er, a skinhead lesbian. The ‘skinhead’ part was obvious to all. The lesbian part came from the student herself as she had been one of these sexuality-before-all types organizing clubs etc. And so, she was a skinhead lesbian by universal agreement including that of the skinhead lesbian.

This simply could not stand for the acquaintance, who railed against the description and, as above, declared that those who referred to the student as such were ‘cavemen who are dying out’ and...wait for it...on the wrong side of history.

I admit, for two days I considered asking simply ‘Which descriptor is inaccurate?’ but the only answer would have been more self-regarding vitriol.

‘The one on the left is a male, I think.’

I’m thinking your sarcasm meter needs recalibration...

Huh? I wasn’t being sarcastic. I mean it. The one on the left is a male, I think. Can’t be 100% sure these days. But the facial features are male, particularly the more prominent brow ridge that is a male feature.

“Libsplaining”

Thank you. Been trying to figure out how to deal with the Leftist tactic of “you oppose X? Well then you want to murder puppies!” which is such a rhetorical non-sequitur I have trouble addressing it. Having a label, based on their own invented labels (and thus instantly clear what it means), concisely snaps the delusion into focus.

I would love to see a mag at the check-out isle/counter that is a “Liberal vs Conservative” photo montage issue.

MAD could do it, they are good a trashing everyone but mostly conservatives

Just the cover would do me poor ole heart good.

Item no. 1 shows their power to read your mind. You can’t really be opposed to welfare, we know in your mind, really, you just hate black people. Of course, this is a diversionary tactic to avoid discussing the actual value/non-value of welfare or affirmative action. Same thing occurred when people opposed Obamacare when it was proposed ... any arguments against it were not rational, they were simply racist.

A corollary to this logical precept is “the straw man argument”. It was a false argument by Obama and used over and over. It would go like this: “To those racists who oppose improved health care for the poor, I say you are wrong”. But there were few/none who were racist opposed to health care. They opposed it simply based on the non-merits of the proposal.

I suppose “The Children” comes under that mantra big time?
The “Teeny Bopper” leaders and backers of the gun debate are tossing that one around as we speak(type)

Conservatives have to become louder and more aggressive in getting the message out. Far too many times, our side tends to shrink from a fight, when that fight should be taken to the darkside.

They better get 'em new strateegery book.

None of that crap works at silencing anything. We are on to you in a big way and not shutting up no matter how much of a hissy fit you throw. Collapse on the ground and beat your heads into the cement. It may help improve the sourpuss looks plastered on all your faces. -- Better yet, HOLD YOUR BREATH AND REALLY SHOW US !!

You can double down on these enumerated points when it comes down to the area of general rejection in Christendom by liberal seminarians and religionists when they theo-splain the low-class conservative constituents that cling to their Old King James (or Douay-Rheims or Reina-Valera or Vulgate) Bibles, who hold to one man-one woman with no divorce, no-women-pastors, creationist, Rapturist, pro-life, anti-feminism, home-education training, and God-centered values-approving music.

Such uneducated, living-in-the-past, reactionary closed-minded, mean-spirited, unloving low-IQ cultists are simply not fit for membership in the currently emerging. social gospel-integrated, diversity-admiring, gibberish-ranting modernized church of the "real Christ" for modern church-politic-correct Buddha/Mohammed/booze/gay-tolerant congregations.

Eh? Is there an "Amen" on this?
