Pretty soon the Right will stop being polite...and start fighting back.
Then things will get ugly.
Even TV shows are being victimized. "Last Man Standing", where Tim Allen plays (is in real life?) an extremely conservative father/businessman, has been cancelled by the network, despite having the second-highest ratings for their entire lineup (8.1M viewers, 8pm Friday timeslot). Shame, too...it's a hilarious show, and the Right-slant only makes it more fun for me to watch.
I find it bothersome that cloth face masks with graphics are prominently on sale on the Drudge report and other "conservative" news sites. Skulls, clown death grins, flags, pro-police symbols, camo, etc.
BTW, if you are getting ads for for that stuff on Drudge, it has much to do with what you have searched for. Thank GOOGLE. And many others. I'm getting all adds for truck racks at the moment.
Normally, sure, I look at pocket drones, and I get ads for them. This was a sponsor of multiple "conservative" sites before I foolishly looked at the web site to see expensive sewn tubes of printed fabric.
I wonder, if the same company sells Che, Hammer & Sickle, and Putin on a Bear masks to lefties who have different cookies? It would seem a wise marketing ploy.
I'm not a huge fan of the Confederacy. I think I have a slightly better understanding of why the South tried to escape the tyranny of the North than most kids today, but despite using the term The War Of Northern Aggression, I really don't have any sympathy for the slave owning Democrat Party splitting our nation before Lincoln was even Inaugurated. What began as a monopolistic crushing of competition by the rich Northern industrialists, ended being about one of the only good reasons to fight a war. Slavery.
Yet, despite my antipathy to the Party of Slavery, The Klan, and Alinsky, I think the current trend to take down Confederate monuments is Bad. It's a Stalinist erasure of history. A massive cover up of sins, past & present. A dog pulling your sheets over his vomit.
You don't tear down the monuments of the past. You inform people by being truthful about them.
You point at the Great Wall of China and explain the weakness that it represents. The lack of military and political togetherness that could not withstand the barbarians sweeping down upon civilization each season, and how isolationism, and cowardice, led to the building of a structure visible from orbit, and the centuries long horror that was bureaucracy run wild as China turned it's back on the world.
You point at the Pyramids of Egypt and explain the God King Myth and it's crushing of human freedom for thousands of years.
Likewise, a statue of Robert E Lee is a great chance to explain the forces of history, the folk who believed that slavery was desirable, ( and still do to this day, but they will lie about that ) and how the international interference in the Civil War changed history in unexpected ways. ( Egyptian cotton )
But to erase the past is to give yourself permission to repeat it.
The folk behind this may have cause for outrage at the actions of the Democrats running the Confederacy, and even anger at the Northern Industrialists that fed the fires by keeping the South agricultural. ( thus maintaining the economic push to slave labor far beyond it's time )
However I don't for a second believe outrage at the injustices of the past have ANYTHING to do with the "tear down the evidence of Democrat Party Evil" movement.
I agree that it's kinda F'ed up ripping up historical monuments. They aren't destroying them are they?
They could turn this into an opportunity. "Historic Confederate Sculpture Park" Make it into a nice picnic environment with a little taste of history lesson.
First, hide statues of famous Democrat slavery defenders. Second, erase all mention of who the Confederate leaders were. Third, blame slavery on the Republicans. ( they've been doing this for years )
And always, maintain the myth that blacks are less capable. That "White Education" is racist against them. That only the Democrat State will give them what the Republicans stole from them. That riots and looting will be appropriate payback.
And that's how you keep them in the Urban Plantations.
This also lets you use the black rioters to strike fear in the White Democrats. Gotta keep the groups apart and angry/fearful of each other. The White racist Democrats are equally indoctrinated that Blacks are inferior.
And most importantly, who you going to believe? History written by old angry white men? Or the new lies written........ by old angry white men?
By declaring you a fascist they declare they can use violence against you because fascists in Europe a century ago used violence. Thus they can beat up anyone they want. F U.
There's a part of me that wants to discuss this with their leaders in person. That feels that those who promise violence should get a close look at it, not from behind lines of minions, but as a one on one discussion.
I do admit I might be better at personal discussion than they are and am a little curious if I am.
Btw, it's kinda obvious the fat jealous gal protesting Wonder Woman didn't see it.
There are indeed thick Amazons of color in the movie.
Not morbidly obese Amazons that I recall. That would be bad body image reinforcement.
I swear, these uptight fat lesbians are almost as bad as sexually repressed jerks pushing shame in the name of Christ. I'm not tolerating replacing one group of sex hang up freak's rule with another's.
From Fox news Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) were leaving the practice when a man asked them whether Republican or Democrat members of Congress were on the field. The shooting began and reportedly lasted about 10 minutes.
Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) tweeted “shooter attacked a GOP baseball practice. Rifle. 50+ shots fired. 5 hit including Steve Scalise. I am not shot.” He estimated 50 to 100 shots were fired.
One of the 5 hit is also the shooter, who fortunately had poor aim. The Alexandria Police Department tweeted that the “suspect is in custody” and “not a threat.”
They are saying that the only reason the Capital Police were there was because the Majority Whip was there. If they were not there this could have been really bad. They were all exposed in an open field.
Why . . . pray tell . . would anyone give a flying rat's ass to hear "comments by Nancy Pelosi" about this event?
She and Paul Ryan are preparing to make "joint remarks".
Nothing like getting an update from the two people who likely know the least about the actual details.
I feel like I am about to get a lecture from my Father about BB gun safety . . . .
Fact to the matter is . . had a person with proper training, carrying a legal side arm, not been present we'd likely have a field littered with dead people.
Let's see if Nancy states the obvious. . . .more likely she will introduce legislation to make softball illegal.
Interesting . . . . . "had the Capitol Police not been there . . there would have been many more fatalities".
The left out . . the part about "well trained and armed".
If the Capitol Police had just "been there" they would have just been spectators and possibly more victims.
Just my opinion . . . eager to hear differing views.
As long as firearm laws allow bad folks to essentially be assured (as in the case in the majority of shootings) that none of the folks in their area are armed . . . it's a free fire zone.
