Samuel Gompers was once asked what he wanted for the American labor movement and American labor, and his answer was simple, "More." And that is exactly what the modern Left wants too, but in this case it is a true zero-sum game, and we are across the table from them. Everything they want is at our expense, everything they desire is ours, and they want to deprive us of so many things...our wealth, our freedom, our safety, our defense against tyranny... But it's not just their obvious desire for power and control that drives them. They have internalized all of the class hatred and envy from every psychotic progressive movement in their political philosophy, and have made that hate the primary driver of everything they attempt. We saw it exposed with Hillary Clinton's infamous "Deplorables" speech in 2016, and before that in Obama's "Bitter Clinger" remarks eight years earlier. But it is now accepted in polite company to express this hatred and disgust for half the country. What shocks them to the core is when our president doesn't just meekly accept the vile and vicious and contemptuous prattle, and responds with forceful condemnations of the people who spout this hatred. Make no mistake; this is not just political disagreement. This is a fundamental dislike and rejection of the culture, ethics, beliefs and morality of half of America. They Will Still Hate You Even If You Disarm
What's the answer? Well, I know what isn't the answer, and that is how the Republican Party has dealt with these attacks for a generation. I am through with tolerating personal attacks on my beliefs, and that means attacking the Constitution and in particular the 1st and 2nd Amendments. Yes, I take it personally now, and I won't back down. The Left and their willing fools have had uncontested control over the public square for too long. Push back wherever you can. Kurt Schlichter is 100% correct...they hate us no matter what, and nothing will change that. |

So dark, so Nixonian. I liked the graphic meme as much as the article.
The article was good though. Ace is a very forceful writer, extremely blunt with the NeverTrumpers and Lefties and media whores. He really roasts them with considerable relish. And he definitely knows how to hold a grudge, a fine quality.

Only now the intensity of hatred and rhetoric is much more intense - on both sides.
Welcome to the wonderful world of partisan politics.
But it is now accepted in polite company to express this hatred and disgust for half the country.
I'm glad to see that no one at LF is in that category.

"We" hate them as much as "they" hate us.
I've seen the comments here and elsewhere. Tell me how that isn't a true statement.
You champion addiction and push for immoral drugs to be used for recreation
This isn't a thread on drugs, or libertarians - try and stay on topic.

You are equating good and evil.
Yes Democrats are all evil or stupid.

Who cares what a faggot who God says will burn in Hell thinks.
Who cares what a mother who murders her child thinks.
Who cares what a man who cuts off his dick thinks.
Like I said you equate evil people with good people.
Who cares what someone like you thinks who equates good with evil.
Yes evil democrats/liberal pieces of shit think we are evil because we are not for killing children.
Yes evil democrat/liberal pieces of shit think we are evil because we have a gun to defend ourself.
Yes evil piece of shit liberals/democrats think we are evil because we know a person with a dick is a man.
Yes evil piece of shit liberals/democrats think we are evil because we don't call a man a woman just because they have some hangup.
So like I said you are a good libertarian you equate good and evil. According to what you just driveled you equate the two sides. That is why people think you are a stupid or immoral person. You don't know right from wrong in many instances. I'm being careful to be accurate here. You do know right from wrong sometimes. But too often you equate good and evil and champion the wrong side as it is some kind of virtue.
They two sides are not the same, not even close.

I didn't perceive it that way when I was younger. But then, the Dems controlled Congress for decades and the libmedia hated Reagan even more than Nixon. But ordinary voters didn't have such animosity toward each other at the time.
Now you see columns giving advice on how to sell 0bamacare to your relatives, how to talk to your crazy uncle at Thanksgiving and inform him that you know he is racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic, etc.
I think the Internet has really magnified the hostility between ordinary partisans in both parties. More so on the Left than the Right but there are entire websites just offering the most incisive clickbait they can produce every single day.
Me too, bro. LF is an island of sanity and harmony.

Has Deckard been making posts I haven't seen?
I don't recall Deckard being pro-gay here. Or being pro-abortion or pro-tranny.
Now, if you accused him of being anti-cop or antiwar or supporting decriminalization of drugs, you'd at least be accusing him of something that he has a long history of posts on.

Stoneboy has played fast and loose with the facts when describing my positions on those issues. He sets a real fine example for others here.
I am not pro-gay, but I don't support beating them up. Same with trannys.
Now, if you accused him of being anti-cop...
Only the bad ones, which isn't a radical view.
...or antiwar...
Yeah - being for peace and not supporting illegal wars is doubleplusungood.
...or supporting decriminalization of drugs, you'd at least be accusing him of something that he has a long history of posts on.
Yes, I support at least considering that. That makes me an "evil drug pusher", according to Stone.
