Well, not “buzz.”
But you get the point. We are experiencing an epidemic of liberals trying to push us around. And, since life is really just high school, except with older and stupider people, schoolyard rules apply. So when someone tries to bully, you smack him. Hard. Right in the Pelosi.
That's what we need to do the liberals when they form their creepy little social media lynch mobs. This nonsense about cowering and apologizing and begging for forgiveness from these petty tyrants needs to stop. Besides being undignified and shameful, submission just encourages them.
Take whoever Shania Twain is. I understand she was once a country singer. Apparently, her image is calculated to project some sort of inoffensive, non-threatening Girl Power! vibe. You know, the kind of tedious "You go girl!" empowerment affirmation that temporarily eases the pain of its adherents’ lonely, cat-filled lives.
We don’t need a man when we have you, Mr. Whiskers!
Anyway, Shania recently manifested the awesome power of girlhood when liberals complained that she dared to say something that offended them – she said she would have voted for Trump if she wasn’t the one foreigner in America who didn’t vote. Basically, she said she was like 43% of Americans, and that’s far too extreme to be tolerated by the Twitterstapo. She surrendered and submitted to their wrath, groveling for forgiveness. Sure, she's Canadian, but that's really no excuse.
Call it “Girl Powerlessness.”
So, they claimed her flowing brunette scalp. They cowed her and moved on to other conquests. But a whole bunch of her fans now think she's a girl wimp. She alienated the people who actually liked her music to please a bunch of hipster doofuses and trendy internet scribblers who wouldn’t listen to her records if they were recorded on the last vinyl on Earth.
Then contrast that capitulation with the righteous resistance of someone named Kanye West, who is no relation to Adam West though that would be the coolest thing ever. Now, I'm not familiar with him or his oeuvre because I essentially stopped listening to new music in 1987 when The Replacements released their last really great album, Pleased to Meet Me. But Kanye West, seems to be very, very popular with the kids. So he has some cultural heat, and when he decided to dissent, the Fahrenheit 451 firepeople knew they had to light that fire but quick.
Kanye said in a tweet that he approved of Candace Owens, and the enragening commenced. Now, I met Candace at CPAC, and she's an an impressive lady who doesn't take a lot of Schiff. As a woman and a black conservative, she is targeted for all sorts of grief, but she fights back by fearlessly asserting the Founders’ vision of personal freedom and personal responsibility as an antidote to the poison of the Democrat Party. Naturally, this makes her hated by all the people you would be proud to be hated by.
Kanye seems to like her message, so he tweeted nice things about her and her ideas, and all hell broke loose. And Kanye West, seeing the outraged response by the professional outragers, did what any free American citizen should do and doubled down. Then he tripled down, berating these petty fascists for their mindless, lockstep conformity. See, he's going to do and say what he damn well pleases, and anyone who doesn’t like it can buzz off.
Well, not “buzz.”
That's how we all need to do it in our everyday lives. So many times, people are getting called racist or sexist or some other stupid slander and it's all baloney, but for whatever reason some people feel compelled to apologize and grovel when they say something other people don't like.
Never apologize to liberals. It’s a sign of weakness.
Liberals wield shame as cultural mace to pummel others into conformity. Most people are weak, and most people will conform. This goes triple for liberals – SJWs are happy to eat their own if there are no Normals around to feed on. Liberals are human sheep when they aren't going full lemming. Never go full lemming.
Americans are vulnerable because they don't like giving offense when they can help it. They're not at the Canadian level of wussiness, but they are generally nice and polite people. That must change. We must actively give offense. We must confront liberals’ stupid, poisonous ideas at every turn, viciously and without remorse.
It's about time that our default response change from “I'm sorry I gave offense” to “You're an idiot for being offended and get out of my face before I slug you.”
We need more Kanyes and fewer Shanias, more people willing to stand up to the slobbering pack of Twitter social justice geebos who have achieved nothing in life except to humiliate a few weak-hearted pushovers. These are bad people, and you empower them when you treat them like anything other than the garbage people they are.
Don't like what I say? Don't like what I think? Don’t like what I write? Don't like what I tweet? Good. The only thing I'm sorry about is that I haven't said more things you don’t like. So, buzz off.
Well, not “buzz.”

40 years of PC conditioning. THAT reflexive response is what the constant PC assaulting was all about.
I usually use “GFYS”[gee-fis] and let them figure it out.
Let's not forget the ANTIFA rampages last year and violent incidents like the attacks by professor Eric Clanton, the "Berkely Bike Lock Basher".
P.S. - The Bike Lock attack happened in April 2007 but the Oakland judge keeps agreeing to hearing postponments.
Pretrial hearing on felony charges now set for June 12, 2018.
What are the odds he will eventually get off with a plea deal down to a misdemeanor and no jail time?
Damn' straight it is. My approach to life has been much simpler than this though. It goes like this: "Don't like me? I don't give a f**k."
I don't worry, nor do I give a damn' about people who don't like me and don't like what I say or believe. Don't have time for it. Easy peasy.
Never have, never will.
Roger that.
I often say “I am offended by how easily you are offended”.
I have a standard, joyful, response when anyone engages along those lines. “I’m happy to discuss this with you but you need to know how it will end. At some point my logic and reason will overwhelm your emotion and you will start shrieking and calling me names since that is all you will have left’.
Same here, with my sisters, and others. I know I’ve won when they resort to emotional outbursts.
Great post.
Who doesn’t. He tells it like it is.
The odds are, maybe the charges will be dropped.
We’re looking at you, Laura Ingraham.
"Who died and left you boss?"
Pfffft and pshaw while I’m heartily laughing....at them. Are we related? lol
Not using expletives is my way, too, being a Christian woman. That frustrates them even more. :)
Likely :o)
