As to the main point, and the reaction of effeminate pansies like David French, all I can say is "duh".
When are normal people going to wake up and finally realize that proglibs are the enemy? Just because they were born in the US doesn't mean anything. They don't subscribe to common cultural value systems, agree with the basis of the economic means of production, nor concern themselves with carefully considered and well crafted government institutions and procedures.
Not only do they not support the "American way of life", they are actively attempting to destroy it, and anyone who represents its foundation. OK, so hopefully we've got that issue cleared away: the left is the enemy. Now, once that notion is settled in, a few conclusions come to mind. First of all, there's going to be a battle for control. Two, when assessing enemy strength, one must look to their native advantages, as well as their inherent weaknesses.
As we all know, the left is driven by emotion; it's their forte. It's why they control the arts, media & entertainment. It also explains why the current theater of war is primarily waged in media - it's the proglib's natural territory. The right, OTOH, is logical - STEM et al. Our time frame is much longer, not being driven by the need for 24/7 content filler. However, the great scientific and technological advances occur on a very steady pace. The war will be won by right when they finally decide to fight back. But fighting on the proglib's day-to-day media turf is very foolish.
As a preview, let me tell you how this is going to go down. Essentially, the left hates because they are life's losers. But what if they could join the winners? Be attractive, be smart, be sexy, be admired? And it's all rooted in genes - oh how they hate that realization. But what if applied gene therapies could be widely and commercially available? I think you get the picture. Play the long game and simply co-opt these freaks, weirdos and losers, making bank while you're at it.
Heckuva reply-post. Thought I was reading one of the national pundits.
I am mystified by these folks (because to understand their insane behaviors and words toward the Covington kids, you would have to be able to think insanely). How is it possible to run to the defense of the thugs we have seen from Trayvon to the “Gentle Giant shoplifter and assailant” and call for assaults and murders of a group of kids waiting for a bus and—okay, I concede, committing the Deplorable Catholic sin of—smiling and eventually turning the opposite cheeks and walking away?
Looney Toons like Recon Ranger Rick have now been emboldened. The next incident sparked by them may well meet with a defensive act (imagine one of those kids walking up to Recon Ranger Rick and clapping in his face as closely as that drum and weapon-like drumstick was being used). I, an elder of the Deplorable Tribe, would have sent it like a Frisbee into the reflecting basin in front of the monument.
I fully agree that the long game is destined to win. But I see that the short-gamers, eager to spark confrontations my incite violence (as they already have in the case of the Covington teens).
