The War of Reprehensible Rhetoric

Some on the Right, or perhaps more accurately, not on the Left, think President Trump's flame wars on Twitter are a good thing. Others find the beneath the dignity of the Office of the President. A dignity the left has done their very best to destroy.  Should we be helping?

I understand the argument - from both sides, and I can't say I like either option.  On the one hand, tying our hands behind our backs in a knife fight is a losing proposition—If the goal is beating your opponent.  

If you're worried about keeping the respect of everyone else, it may be the only way to go.  I think (yeah it's just hunch, no actual data to work with) that the average American is disgusted when the left does it and shocked and disgusted when the President does it.  

Perhaps the correct approach is to use shame rather than insults.  Sure the left has no shame, and they won't care. But the point will be made to those not yet fallen to the moral relativism of the nihilistic left. It will show them what they're fighting against. It's certainly the harder path. Pithy one-line insults are much easier to construct than pithy one-line moral aphorisms.

The insults obviously get under the skin of the leftists. It's why their reaction is so vitriolic and hypocritical.  There is a visceral pleasure in subjecting them to a bit of their own.  I get it, and I've done it. The question is: how does this play with the average voter.  The average voter still thinks in terms of Republicans and Democrats  - when what we've got are Democrats and Progressives. Left of center vs. crazy. When I look, I can find maybe a dozen genuine Republicans (small government) in national politics.  The sides seem to boil down to Crazy Leftists vs. Anti-Leftists, not as most people think - Left vs. Right or Liberal vs. Conservative. 

So, is the goal to feel better because we slapped them silly when they deserve it (most of the time) or is it to increase the base of anti-leftists. 

I'd love to have a way to increase the actual number of conservatives, and I think the pendulum has begun to swing in that direction.  It would be useful if we still had some conservatives left when the pendulum gets that far. 

The Futility of Apologizing to the Left for anything

Everyone makes mistakes.  Sometimes it's simple forgetfulness, sometimes it a misunderstanding, sometimes we're just oblivious to the effects of our actions because we are momentarily self-absorbed.  In each of those cases, an apology is warranted.

The problem is... when you apologize to a leftist it's often demanded, never accepted and always taken as a sign of weakness.  Why? Because that's how they think - if you get caught insulting someone - you don't apologize - you double down and make the insult worse. If you get caught in a lie; you don't apologize, you double down and tell a bigger lie.  So, when you, the rational person, apologize whether demanded or not, you are signaling weakness and they will attack. Every time.  Without fail.

This is true of all Bigoteers, whether they're a simple useful idiot university student, a community organizer, an academician, or an elitist such as you find in D.C. or Hollywood.

They're not actually interested in your apology - they're interested in using you to make a point - 'we have the power, you don't'  And they do it all the while claiming victim status.

You can apologize to a Christian, or a libertarian, a conservative, or even a classic liberal, and it will probably be accepted in good faith Just don't waste your breath on the Bigoteers of the world.

• I was born white, which now, whether I like it or not, makes me a racist. 
• I am a fiscal and moral conservative, which by today’s standards, makes me a fascist.
• I am heterosexual, which according to gay folks, now makes me a homophobe.
• I am non-union, which makes me a traitor to the working class and an ally of big business.
• I am a Christian, which now labels me as an infidel.
• I believe in the 2nd Amendment, which now makes me a member of the vast gun lobby.
• I am retired, which makes me useless.
• I think and I reason, therefore I doubt much that the main stream media tells me, which must make me a reactionary.
• I am proud of my heritage and our inclusive American culture, which makes me a xenophobe.
• I value my safety and that of my family and I appreciate the police and the legal system, which makes me a right-wing extremist.
• I believe in hard work, fair play, and fair compensation according to each individual's merits, which today makes me an anti-socialist.
• I (and most of the folks I know), acquired a fair education without student loans (it’s called work) and no debt at graduation, which makes me some kind of an odd underachiever.
• I believe in the defense and protection of the homeland for and by all citizens, which now makes me a militant.

Now, a sick old woman is calling me and my friends a basket of deplorables.

Please help me come to terms with the new me…because I‘m just not sure who I am anymore! I would like to thank all my friends for sticking with me through these abrupt, new found changes in my life and my thinking! .....I just can’t imagine or understand what happened to me so quickly!
Funny…it’s all just taken place over the last 7 1/2 years!
As if all this B.S. wasn’t enough to deal with….now I'm not sure which public restroom to use.

Fake Rape Culture - Meet the Real Thing.

The rape culture narrative took a beating with the outing of the Rolling Stone Rape Hoax.  To make matters worse - UVA and seven other hoaxes were exposed.  It's unsurprising because the data were never data, it was nothing but a bunch of crazy feminists pushing their agenda of "Men are the source of All EVIL"  Even USA today agrees - the data just doesn't support the theory - at least after being introduced to the idea of fact checking which they apparently skipped for this article.

So, let's talk about Europe.  There is an actual rape epidemic going on in Europe - even the NY Times has given up trying to hide it.  Yet, the rape culture narrative has become silent.  The feminists have always held this weird doublethink idea that Western Culture (created by Evil White MEN) is the epicenter of Rape Culture and Sexism and at the same time, remained completely silent on the documented and systemic abuse, rape and murder of women in Islamic countries.

Why?  Multiculturalism trumps Feminism. The new god - Diversity - is more powerful than the old godess - Feminism. Neither have any value to Western Culture. Not because we have rampant racism, or rape culture, or rampant sexism - we don't. But, because Western Culture has been at the forefront of eliminating those things - which is why Western Culture is the Enemy.  Western Culture is the proof that the Regressive-Progressive narrative is crap.  Self serving crap.  Dangerous, harmful, abusive crap.

The Regressive-Progressives are beginning to eat their own.  The facade is falling and the truth is coming out.  Their diversity is only skin deep. Their patriarchy doesn't exist.  And their multiculturalism kills.  They actively agitate for the elimination of free speech because truth is anathema to their narrative.

Emory, Bill Maher and me

I so rarely agree with Bill Maher, until recently.  Why all of a sudden does he seem to be one of the two liberals who are not certifiable, the other being Dave Rubin.  Granted, we only seem to agree on the threat of Islam, and this, but it's a start.


From (well everywhere but this specifically from Inquisitr

As the Inquisitr previously reported, pro-Donald Trump chalk messages so frightened and upset the college students that they claimed they were in pain and needed counseling because their safe space had been violated. The Donald Trump Emory University chalk drawings on sidewalks and stairs did not include any foul language, political rhetoric, or crude images. They simply bore the Republican presidential front runner’s name or urged the young adults, “Vote Trump,” and said “Trump 2016.”

Bills Response:

“Let’s talk about the liberal bubble… and I’m always criticizing what goes on on college campuses. There was a doozy this week at Emory University. Oh my gosh. You know what happened at Emory? Somebody wrote pro-Trump messages on the sidewalk in chalk. And, I swear to God, the kids went apesh*t… One student said, ‘I legitimately feared for my life. I thought we were having a KKK rally on campus.’ Here’s another one: ‘I’m supposed to feel comfortable and safe, but this man — Trump — is being supported by students on campus.’ As is their right in a democracy. ‘And our administration shows by their silence they support it as well. I don’t deserve to feel afraid at my school.’ I so badly want to dropkick these kids into a place where there is actual pain and suffering. What happened in this country?”

Emphasis is mine.  Dropkick away Bill. 

Part of me really wants to just punch the next asshole who points to “Trump2016” written in chalk and calls it violence, right in the nose. “No asshole, that’s violence – see the difference!”
