If Conservatives Set Aside Civility To Fight The Left’s Rude Provocation, We Will All Lose
The Federalist ^ | June 27, 2018 | Georgi Boorman

Posted on 06/28/2018 6:51:45 AM PDT by C19fan

Remember when Laura Ingraham tweeted about how David Hogg was “whining” after being rejected by a bunch of colleges, and the left, in a fit of outrage, immediately went after her show’s advertisers? I seem to recall folks on the right were pretty irritated at those pushy social justice warriors. But now that White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was asked to leave a restaurant out of the owner’s “moral conviction,” some say it’s time to “go low” and “fight dirty.”

SkyMast, whose profile description says she’s been “resisting the siren call of Marxism for 23 years straight,” also tweeted: “These suppliers get to choose which side they come down on, sucks that they are forced into this position, but Red Hen pulled the trigger. Wars are messy and often times unfair. Such is life.”

Ms. Boorman appears not ready for what is coming.

IF there were escalation within the next 5 years, I suspect the lesson to the leftists would be, "don't mess with those willing to die for freedom".

The left may have a hold on the MSM and social media, but the market for the MSM is pitiful and dwindling.

At some point, the losers begin to learn there is merit to personal responsibility.

Agree C19fan.

I think much of the apoplexy on the left is due to the right changing behavior and fighting back. They’re absolutely unaccustomed to it and want it to stop.

Trump fights back and they sure as heck didn’t expect it, don’t know how to deal with it, and wish it would stop.

In an attempt to find a winning strategy, the left is simply fighting dirtier and more dangerously and then blaming the right for fighting back LOL.

I think they’ve made a seriously bad miscalculation. We are over it. It’s on. This is the end of the road. Buckle up.

The “civility” surrender monkeys include George Will, Bill Kristol, Jonah Goldberg, Bill Lowry. They are ok with losing, as long as they lose with dignity. Trump always plays to win. It’s why they’ve never accepted him.

I am all for fighting back, but politely.

The squishy middle wants to throw up at Mad Maxine.

Sarah Sanders showed how to do it. Polite, firm, classy.

This is the typical elitist response to American citizens who stand up against the Left. The elitists hate President Trump because he fights back, and he fights to win, so he WINS! Duh. They apparently love to lose, and their weakness has cost us our culture.

Actually, Jesus was quite comfortable ascribing the power of just punishment of slackers and evil doers to government.

Matthew 25

What damage to our side has the likes of Maxine Waters or any hollyweird celebrity inflicted? Any? None that I can think of. They're just making themselves look like the party of fools.

Reminds me of the old Ray Stevens song.

"Oh yes they call him The Streak,

He likes to turn the other cheek,"

The only way to stop it is to give the Left a taste of their own medicine and perhaps they will learn to stop

The only way to stop it is to STOP IT!

The left wants a war ... let us give them one.

I agree. Just let them start it. The response from our side should be massive, swift, overwhelming and leave zero doubt that they have been soundly defeated and relegated to the dustbins of irrelevant history.

Read into that what you will. I've already posted elsewhere that the time has come to be prepared to defend ones self by terminating threats against our safety with extreme prejudice.

You seem to have missed the riots that resulted from the incitement of those like her. They were all over the news.

Hear, Hear! Been there! My mother was recently “shocked” when street festival turned into a gunfight in Trenton. I told her I was shocked that it doesn’t happen more often, which is why I left that Scheisse hole decades ago. Ignorance is not bliss!
