Civilization

Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage’s whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.

The precondition of a civilized society is the barring of physical force from social relationships—thus establishing the principle that if men wish to deal with one another, they may do so only by means of reason: by discussion, persuasion and voluntary, uncoerced agreement.

The necessary consequence of man’s right to life is his right to self-defense. In a civilized society, force may be used only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use.

Ayn Rand

I don't even want any “civility” with these evil Dems.
Being civil to evil doers like Schiff, Nadler, , Omar, Pelosi , Tlaib etc will make me physically ill.

When a Democrat says they want a return of civility they mean servility ... as in sit down and shut up and do as we say.

As someone used Maxine Waters own words substituting Cuomo for Trump. I think someone should shadow Xiden the same way.

Ie .Feb 4, 2017Protesters walked along Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House to the US Capitol to “deliver a clear message to the doorsteps of President Trump, members of Congress, and the courts

Let’s not let the Democrats own “civility” like the gays have owned the rainbow.

Suppressed speech, constant slander of people on the right, purges and stolen elections are NOT acts if civility.

What they really want is peace and quiet. Like the kind you find in a well run prison around 2 AM.

Over 60 years of non-peaceful transfer of power when Republicans win.

Democrats killed the American experiment.

Civility? not a chance - I will give democrats all the civility they have shown us over the past 4 years.

Just 2 days ago, driving home in a snowstorm, in my large 4wd pickup and came across a car that had skidded into a small ditch on the side of the road - I always have chains and usually happy to help when I can - got out, so the black lives matter and biden bumper stickers on the car - and told the drive “biden huh?” got back in my truck and drove away.

This is the kind of civility democrats can expect from me.

It is obvious that incivility works. I write of the ad hominem variety in classical rhetoric. I write of the propaganda kind as well. Republicans do not use these weapons of words and allow them to be used against them. Their fear, I presume, is that it will lead to riots and I dare write, insurrection. Those are false fears.

I do not want bipartisanship. I do not want agreement with the left, unless they become right. I do not want compromise. That leads to incivility. It is politics.

Most on the right believe in the notion that a strong military leads to peace. But every once in a while it needs to be exercised so people know the military will be used to force peace. (Not that applies to our endless wars today - that's an entirely different problem.) The same is true in politics. Republican politicians need to be uncivil every once in a while to prove that they will use that rhetorical weapon. The problem they have is they constantly go into political battle with peashooters when the Democrats show up with tactical nuclear weapons.

Incivility used as a weapon is a deterrent that leads to civility.

Logic, commonsense and sound arguments only work on so many people. Remember, 50% of the American population has below average IQ's. Appeal to their emotions and appeal to the thinking man too. They are not mutually exclusive.

Ha! ‘Civility’?? I mean really? It reminds me of the psycho, Liberal b%*ch I used to work for.

She kicked sh%@ in my face on a daily basis and created the ‘lynch mob’ of other creeps who made my life hell for 15 years.

But she actually asked me why I wouldn’t talk to her? She couldn’t define ‘civility’ if her life depended on it... just like ALL Liberals!
