He's a Conservative, naturally, being my friend, and a segment of the readership is up in arms that the paper has decided to allow any such miscreant to so tarnish their local paper. The one with at least two moonbat columns per week over which these same people regularly gush.
Sigh. It's so predictable and tiresome.
The point, and I do have one...is that my friend enjoys the give and take with the Libshits, and always hold out hope that if he uses just the right word, logically shows them their errors, presents undeniable proof of his assertions, and equally undeniable proof of the falsity of theirs, he will triumph...he will change a mind, enlighted one benighted Liberal fool...and it will all have been worth it.
What he forgets, being a decent sort, and thinking the best of most people, is that the Moonbats do no believe what they say. Thus, arguing with them on the merits of their various statements is utterly futile, and will never change their minds.
Moonbats say what is convenient, and what they think might sound good at the moment. They kidnap respectable words and pimp them out in whatever fashion might be advantageous to their ultimate ends.
A perfect example took place in Pacifica (my town) just last year. A woman named Leslie Davidson, the "significant other" of one of the Moonbat columnists in the local paper, became highly incensed at criticisms of her man's obvious and far left leaning opinions, by readers who threatened to cancel their subscriptions if the paper continued printing him.
She stood up on her hind legs (not easy for the stupid cow) and proclaimed to all the world that John (her bedmate) had the FIRST AMENDMENT right to free speech, that ALL POSITIONS had an equal right to be heard, and that the critics were attempting to abridge said rights should be ashamed of themselves.
Within months of that righteous diatribe, Ms. Davidson, unhappy that the way the paper was covering a local issue was insufficiently socialist, in company with several other fellow-travellers, presented herself at the newspaper office and demanded the resignation of the Editor. Failing that, she proclaimed, she would see the newspaper closed down!
You see how much she believes in "Free Speech"?
The same woman is currently embroiled in a local feud about the fitness of criticizing the opinions of an elderly letter writer to the paper. She is of the decided opinion that one should not do it...if the letter writer is old. Well, not, at least if the old geezer's opinions are in complete accord with her own. When she refrains from castigating an elderly Conservative in respect of his age, I'll believe her.
The same is true of all Libshit statements. They believe in "PEACE". Another Respectable word. But what do they really mean by it? Not the absence of war, or murder, or genocide.
These are going on all over the world, and all we hear is a ringing silence from the Left. Peace is not important at all to them. They prostitute the word to make themselves sound decent and thoughtful and "nice"...just like Leslie Davidson used "Freedom of Speech".
If we were to define "Peace" as they use it, the new definition would be:
"Anyone may attack, maim, torture, kidnap or bomb America or its citizens without fear of retaliation."When that has been fimly implemented, they will say we have "Peace".
No amount of excruciating deaths by torture of Christians, no genocide of Africans, no slaughter of women in Muslim countries, no sexual predation of children in Thailand, no slave trade in Black Africans by Arabs will disturb their sleep, just as the enslavement of millions of Vietnamese, or the killing of millions of Cambodians failed to trouble them in the70's, just as long as America is not defending herself or her citizens.
This is the method of argument for all their empty "beliefs". They crib usage without meaning, and soothe the ears of hearers with honorable and time-tested phrases...meaning none of them. They use them as only as a means to effect their objectives, and as blithely use the exact opposite argument when that is more advantageous.
It is pointless to argue with a Libshit. They don't use our language with any more meaning or conviction than a parrot who learns to "speak" in English.
There is only one way to understand what they want, what they believe, and where they are trying to herd us. Watch what they do. Watch what ends they work for.
And that almost never accords with what they say:
Hilary is "Patriotic" . John Edwards is a "Champion of the Poor". John Kerry is "Intelligent..a Brahmin". Cindy Sheehan has "Moral Authority". Edward Kennedy cares about the "Little Man".
All Democrats "Care About the Poor". So they tell us. But why then, after 5 decades of failure to uplift the poor, do the Democrats mulishly refuse to alter a jot of their diseased, abjectly failing policies? They are either demented, or "Lifting the Poor Out of Poverty" is not their real objective.
The point here is that to argue about the best way to "Life the Poor Out of Poverty"—which Conservatives do on a regular basis—is a pointless and enervating task....because the Libs don't care about it, and no amount of argument regarding actually effective ways to do it will change their policies. "Lifting the Poor Out of Poverty", is the merely the perjurous Label they use for "Getting the Poor to Keep Voting for Us so We Can Stay in Power Forever."
We need to stop listening to them, and fighting on their terms...and getting sucked into pointless, hopeless, endless discussions of process, programs and goals. It's just a ruse to keep us busy defending our ideas, attempting polite discourse, gentlemanly debating and "reaching out"...while they undermine the castle walls.
THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT ANY OF IT!
What have they actually ever done that has resulted in the betterment of any person or group of people in America except themselves?
What has been the actual results of all of their decades of politicing? They have more money, more power, more influence, more honor, more perks, more fame and more luxury...and more job security.
They are exactly what they say they oppose. And they hope that if they keep saying it we won't notice just what they really are. And, sadly, it's worked pretty well up to now. They are popularly known as the Party of the Working Man...whose wages they steal to gild their own toilet seats; they are known as the Compassionate Party, who persistently refuse any policy that might actually lead the poor to productivity and self-respect ; they pose as the Defenders of Education, while they bribe Teacher's Unions for support, as children graduate semi-literate, at best, from our public schools; they claim to be Champions of Free Speech in universities, where today exist the most strident and stringent speech controls ever conceived in the history of the United States. And most outrageously, they claim to be the "Courageous Party of Dissent", when they are, in fact, the intractable, established, invasive, controlling tyrants in almost every facet of our lives.
We need to learn to read their truth. And it is NEVER is their words.

I found this analysis of a Liberal, fascinating. Sorry for the length but I think all of it is pertinent. This is from Dr. William Pierce:
ReplyDelete"First, at the core of the liberal personality is an excessive degree of egoism, which in the worst cases amounts to narcissism. This excessive egoism is an infantile characteristic. Which is to say, it is a normal characteristic in infants, but in the case of healthy growth it recedes as the individual develops and matures. A permissive upbringing retards the normal process of maturing.
A second very important element in the liberal personality -- an element closely related to the egoism -- is resentment coupled with envy. That is why in the past liberalism has sometimes been called an ideology based on resentment. The liberal finds very distasteful the notion that some people are brighter than he is, better looking, more industrious, more righteous or moral, more cultured, more artistic, more capable, or more successful. And he regards these people who are better than he is -- and because of being better, more powerful -- as a threat, as an irksome constraint. This envy and resentment is in a way a carryover into adult life of the sort of resentment that a spoiled, self-indulgent child might feel toward a parent who won't let him do exactly what he wants to do, a parent who won't let him eat all the cookies in the cookie jar or torment an animal for his amusement or "play with himself," to use a familiar euphemism. It may express itself in infancy in the form of a tantrum. In adulthood it is expressed as a strong attraction to the ideology of egalitarianism: the idea that no one is better than anyone else."
Interesting, yes? Accurate? : )

Great minds think alike.
ReplyDeleteI tried to link to an old post that made the same point...but I can't make it work. So Here it is:
"The symptoms include: a feeling of superiority and self importance; a sense of entitlement; fantasies of unlimited success, fame, or power; belief that he or she is special or superior in some way and can only be understood by, or should associate with others who are like them; use of others to achieve own ends; lack of empathy; seeks to hurt or destroy the objects of his or her frustration; behaves arrogantly and haughty, "above the law."
—American Psychiatric Association"
Does that, or does that NOT, sound like the perfect description of Hillary Clinton?
So, the Democrats want to run a literal nutcase for president. Why doesn't that surprise me?

I no longer privately debate with any libtards because, as you stated, it's a waste of my time. However, in mixed company, I do still enjoy taking issue with any ridiculous statement made by said libtard and watching them self-destruct into vulgar, screaming idiots as their points are easily shredded into fluff by calm, rational, common sense thought.
ReplyDeleteThis meltdown can be both exacerbated and accelerated by shedding all pretense of political correctness; say what you mean in no uncertain terms. Certain venues may require a modicum of diplomacy so as not to offend tender ears (I seldom use that wonderfully flexible word fuck when talking to my 76 year old Mom) but when in doubt I remember how offended I am daily by liberal politics and I forge ahead.
