The One Thing Democrats Are Really Good At
American Thinker.com ^ | July 9, 2017 | Steve Feinstein

The Democrats have a good thing going. It’s unclear exactly how they arranged it or why it is that no one has really noticed it before and called them out on it. But they are very clever and they deserve full credit for pulling it off. It’s just another piece of evidence that when it comes to hardball politics/media manipulation, there is only one team even playing the game, much less a contest of any sort being waged.

Their gambit? The Democrats have constructed a reality whereby they get to blame Republicans outright for any transgression they commit -- real or contrived -- whether it be some verbal or policy slight against a favored special-interest group, a tax advantage they give to their wealthy donor base, an unfair reduction in rights and privileges to the deserving just for the fun of being mean-spirited, environmentally-damaging political decisions made out of ignorance or uncaring short-sightedness, or a disruptive, counter-productive introduction of religion and morals into the public discussion in a blatant, hypocritical violation of the doctrine of separation of church and state.

The Democrats actually go further than simply tying such actions to Republican politicians. In fact, they routinely tie calamitous events to Republicans in general, office holders and supporters alike, and blame Republicans for intentionally creating the circumstances that enabled the event to transpire in the first place. A perfect recent example of this was a few years ago when Sarah Palin -- a favorite Democratic fall girl -- produced a “map” identifying targeted Democratic Congressional seats, with a crosshair graphic on the seat.

Of course, you can thank Saul ALinsky. They learned it from watching GEN Vo Giap flip the script against the Americans in Vietnam by coopting our press and removing public/political support. Then, they watched Giap’s student, Yasir Arafat do the same thing in the Middle East. Any question who’s side these jerks are on? Not the American side.

Sociopaths and malignant narcissists routinely project their garbage onto others. They are unable to accept their own responsibility for anything. It’s what they do.

Crosshairs come in more than one variety ... Surveyor Marks

I have noticed if you at any time argue politics with a Democrat by bringing up a fact which totally refutes their claim, they either;

1. Ignore the fact.

2. Ridicule you.

3. Change the subject by bringing up a Non sequitur.

4. If the argument is online (usually is) they can also suddenly ‘not be there’ and never answer the original fact.

Same here.

The thing that I think needs a little more attention is how the Democrats nurture grievances and resentment. Also not a new thing, but not discussed as fully as the media/blame game.
