You, like many others, are trying to "own the libs" by pointing out what you claim is a double standard.
But it's not.
There is a single standard, which they adhere to faithfully, and this is it: What is good for the revolution and hurts America is good. What is bad for the revolution, and helps America, is bad.
In many people's imagination, things can be put right by adhering to the Constitution and by deploying clever or well-developed arguments.
You may not have noticed, but the Left has stopped arguing with you. They have set their course, their end point is your and your people's destruction, by any means necessary.
The soft libertarianism that came out of the 1970s, that culminated in Reagan's "government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem" is now destroying the nation because it renders the state powerless to crush the bolshevik revolution washing over us.
True; to put it more simply, nothing is settled until it is settled the way the Left wants it settled. The problem is that the only alternative is not a Washington but a Marcus Crassus, or a Pinochet, which forestalls the revolution at the expense of the republic.
Dumbest opinion I’ve read. Full of hee-haw impotence and matter-of-fact cowardice BS.
“You like many others”?? Lol!
“In many people’s imagination...” ??
You’re a pompous ass as always Nobel, with your bloviate pretentious opinionated drivel. Who the F’ are you to talk with such arrogant and condescending snobbery. All you do is criticize and offer nothing but whining.
If you hadn’t noticed already, Jimmy... the ‘Bolshavik’ infestation has already seized control of most institutions of national and state government... and has in affect criminalized the old state empowered by the people’s will and anyone loyal to it. They are called undesirables and treated like political dissidents; enemies of the new unitary party state, the Communists.
Government IS indeed the problem, since it has been hijacked by the authoritarian Bolshevik ideologues who’ve consolidated the government into an information, thought and truth control central hive.
The people are the ‘state’ under our constitution, not those who’ve usurped the power of the state. Those are the traitors, treasonous enemy of the state.
The current ‘state’ has no power or legitimacy under our constitution. It is rogue and the people must ignore it, and be disobedient to it. Those who are in support of the rogue state must be arrested, tried for treason and all shot.
It will be the people taking back the institutions of government and the ‘state’ that will restore constitutional governance, and state authority back to the people and their consent.
Truer words may have never been spoken.
I would add that one more layer of the onion can be peeled. There is no point in arguing with leftists who are operating with an entirely different software operating system. In other words, the Frankfurt School has provided the left with a worldview, critical theory, that permits them to dispense with reality and engage in a method of thinking which is entirely self-contained, cultish, and impervious to reason, logic or science.
Since they don't share any of our values because they don't even share our culture, our enlightenment, our Judeo-Christian heritage, our scientific method or our idea of tolerance, they simply don't compute whether our Constitution with its Bill of Rights is worth preserving. It simply doesn't matter to them.
So, if we are to prevail in this war-and it is a war-we must find a way to break through their bubble and break down their system of thinking so that we can then effectively argue the particulars with a human even capable of understanding.
