Never Give an Inch: The Wrong Side Knows That It's Losing
American Thinker ^ | 07/02/2020 | Deanna Chadwell

Posted on 07/02/2020 5:41:46 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

With the lawless events of the last few weeks (months, counting the overreach of many state governments in the COVID panic) have left me acutely aware of my own human desire for order, and I have to take a deep breath whenever I find myself wishing Trump would just whip out the military and put a stop to it all. But that’s what the desperate Democrats want -- the Rules for Radicals vindication -- create so much chaos that the masses beg for someone to take control. But we can’t let that happen. So I would like to suggest a new motto for conservatives and libertarians alike. It comes from Ken Kesey’s novel, Sometimes a Great Notion -- “Never give a goddamn inch.

We don’t have any inches left. We can’t compromise or concede anything. They’re destroying our history, our economy, our connections with God. They want to tear apart our families and they’ve already made mockeries of our schools. This last spate of riots has to be the end. We can tolerate this Mad Hatter’s tea party no longer.

“Black Lives Matter?” Whoever said they didn’t? What does that even mean? Two hundred years ago when most American blacks were slaves -- even then -- black lives mattered -- they were money. There’s nothing even remotely rational in that slogan. What would they have chanted had Floyd been white? It looked to me like a terrible miscarriage of justice no matter what the color of his skin, so had he been, say, Jewish, would the rioters have been stealing TVs and torching cop cars? Would they have been chanting, “Jewish Lives Matter?”

So what does it mean? Not much. We abort black babies more often than babies of any other race, but those lives evidently don’t “matter.”

I’ve always said, if you let the camels nose under the tent, he eventually walks right in and shits all over the place.

Ask a BLM ignoramus, “do ALL black lives matter”? Even those in the womb? And you will hear crickets.

“...It looked to me like a terrible miscarriage of justice no matter what the color of his skin...”

There you go “giving an inch.

George Floyd, (aka George Taylor, Floyd Taylor, or George Kirby) KILLED HIMSELF! By being an unhealthy (FACT), career criminal (FACT), hard drug user (FACT).

The Fentanyl and Methamphetamine combined with his already poor health (lifestyle choices) DOOMED him. (FACT)

Derrick Chauvin used APPROVED police procedure (FACT) to subdue a criminal (FACT) who had resisted arrest (FACT).

The knee on the neck (while it “LOOKED” bad) DID NOT KILL HIM (FACT), according to the official autopsy (FACT).

You DESTROY your whole point by falling for the false narrative (and charges) that officer Chauvin did ANYTHING WRONG!

That wasn’t “giving an inch”, that was giving a MILE!

You CAVED to the media, the BLM crowd, the rioters and looters, and the general public who are too afraid to go against the Black MOB!

Michael Brown was a THUG (FACT). Officer Darren Wilson did nothing wrong, except defend his own life (FACT).

Trayvon Martin was a THUG (FACT). George Zimmerman did nothing wrong, except defend his own life (FACT)

George Floyd was a THUG. Derrick Chauvin did nothing wrong, except protect his own life and subdue a CRIMINAL who was obviously on some type of mind altering drug, RESISTING ARREST (FACTS).

Tell me where I’m wrong? Never Mind, I’M NOT WRONG and I don’t care what you think anyway.

“Actually, we do subsidize two parent families by providing tax deductions”

If a person has no income, tax deductions are meaningless.

The Left is losing? That depends on what its goal is.

If its goal is to create chaos, it was quite successful.

Just because CHAZ/CHOP is being dismantled, don't conclude this is over and done.

It's just getting started.

And BTW this author's wish that "Trump would just whip out the military and put a stop to it all" begs the question, "would the military obey."

With recent comments made by Mattis, Espey, and Milley, one might conclude that there is a contingent within the military leadership that is more loyal to the Left than to the President.

While that is true, when considering solid middle class families that do earn and do pay taxes, the changes in the the tax law made a considerable difference.

The topic of this section of the thread was why don’t they do something about good people, good families rather than subsidize blacks to buy votes.

I was pointing out that the tax law crafted by Speaker Ryan did in fact do that very thing. Then folks like you jump on and try to degrade the effort

You got a burr under your saddle? I’m not trying to degrade anything.

I was thinking about trying to repair the black family, encouraging them to marry and stay together.

I don’t know what your problem is.
