The Left’s weaponization of everything
American Thinker ^ | May 25, 2019 | Gary Gindler

Posted on 05/25/2019 12:34:38 PM PDT by WWII_Historian

The weasels of leftism are close to exhausting their weaponization abilities. The recent political weaponization of the banking industry (i.e., using financial records against the opposing politician — President Trump) falls in line with all the previous weaponization attempts. However, pretty soon, they will run out of things to weaponize.

There are numerous examples of the political weaponization of all facets of human life, including private life.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the vagina became the weapon of choice for many left-wing feminists. It was used initially for the genocide of blacks because one of the Left's icons, Margaret Sanger, was a follower of the racist pseudo-science of eugenics (just like her follower and ideological colleague in Europe, Adolf Hitler). The vagina-missiles continue to be used in the 21st century. (Recall the Judge Kavanaugh drama and the anti-Trump “golden shower” hoax.)

Later on, other private parts were weaponized, and the political movement of LGBT was born. It largely succeeded in bringing down the Boy Scouts and normalizing something that was considered abnormal through the entirety of written human history. Such abnormalities, if they were confined into private bedrooms, were widely tolerated for millennia, but the political weaponization injected these abnormalities into the public domain, including LGBT brainwashing in public schools.

Leftism spread in human society like a contagious virus and carried with it a total weaponization of everything. Leftism, being a totalitarian ideology, could not settle for anything less than total weaponization.

Truth is the spiritual equivalent of steel. Nothing really matches it.

Truth , when accepted , is disarming.

They have to; they've got nothing.

Can't take credit for the booming economy since Obama said the old owe was "the new normal".

Can't take credit for low unemployment "".

Can't take credit for lowing Taxes since they badmouthed it and didn't put in a single vote.

The Democrats are Politically Bankrupt Leftists, by en large, these days and it shows.

That’s a fact. Being polite in the face of rudeness very often disarms an opponent. But then, you have to keep being nice. I find that makes people think instead of just arguing or the sake of arguing.

The fact that the Left has to weaponize everything to advance its radical agenda tells you their agenda is not worthy of widespread adoption based on its own merits. They have to manipulate people into going along with it.

normalizing something that was considered abnormal through the entirety of written human history.


Homosexuality in the militaries of ancient Greece was regarded as contributing to morale.[1]

Although the primary example is the Sacred Band of Thebes, a unit said to have been formed of same-sex couples, the Spartan tradition of military heroism has also been explained in light of strong emotional bonds resulting from homosexual relationships.[2]

Various ancient Greek sources record incidents of courage in battle and interpret them as motivated by homoerotic bonds.

==> “Homosexuality in the militaries of ancient Greece was regarded as contributing to morale.” Etc...

How is the latter contrary to the former?

Fear distorts the interpretation of perception. It’s that ding dong simple. Leftists are infantile gratification junkies and thus, anxiety driven by anything that does not deliver gratification. Everything outside their affinity circle is a threat to them. Word controlled primates.

I don’t think they’ll *ever* finish weaponizing against Christians/conservatives. In fact, the Bible claims a day will come where we will not be able to buy or sell with out the Mark of the Beast, who is lining up to be a total leftist.

I remember when liberals seemed concerned about freedoms and elevating the poor. Not TODAY’S libs. They are all about shutting down voices they disagree with and using the world’s immigrants to keep wages down. A hundred years ago, they complained about enormous wealth in the hands of a few while the rest scraped by from month to month. Now, many of the libs ARE the people of enormous wealth and they think it is just fine to lord it over the rest of us.

The ancient Greeks were perverts, if not the best fighters of the time. Spartans, particularly. Women were basically breeding stock while young boys were kept as apprentices and sex partners. Thankfully, there is very little genetic tie between modern Greeks and ancient ones. Their population was mostly replaced by Slavic migrants.

Correction to the author. Homosexuality has been prevalent throughout history and responsible for some of the most vicious Roman dictators or Ptolemy Greek families against Jews and Christians proclaiming the freedom and peaceful equality of one man one woman, no matter rich or poor, which defied the corruption and looks of the rulers.

The line which I excerpted is incorrect. It was not considered abnormal throughout recorded history.

Presidential candidate Romney certainly proved that beyond the shadow of a doubt.

That doesn’t make any sense.

Not even a very good put down.

You are showing yourself not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

the reason they are gettign away with it is because the right keeps backing down- instead of telling the left, when they get angry and demand the right do something “Piss off!”
