Understanding Leftist Vitriol

Ignoring Facts and Attacking Character
The Left finds its foes not just wrong, but morally repugnant.

By Thomas Sowell

Excerpt:
"The vision of the Left is not just a vision of the world. For many, it is also a vision of themselves — a very flattering vision of people trying to save the planet, rescue the exploited, create “social justice,” and otherwise be on the side of the angels. This is an exalting vision that few are ready to give up, or to risk on a roll of the dice, which is what submitting it to the test of factual evidence amounts to. Maybe that is why there are so many fact-free arguments on the left, whether on gun control, minimum wages, or innumerable other issues — and why they react so viscerally to those who challenge their vision."

The moment you mention Socialist regimes like Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Castro, etc that SEIZED FIREARMS FROM THEIR OPPOSITION/UNDESIRABLES before genocide them, Liberals/Progressive go through psychiatric shock, kick and scream at you, and then declare themselves the winner of the argument by denying that it ever happened.

Every time Wayne LaPierre says, "Obama's going to take your guns!", gun sales go up and no one ever comes to take their guns.

This must only be a coincidence, right?

Obama is an excellent gun salesman, I'll give him that. LaPierre is just the mailman.

But no one is coming to take your guns and you don't even use them to defend any of your other rights, so what's the point?

 

[TheOldSchool]

I wonder if anyone will write an article on the wild inconsistencies of conservative outrage?

You were already called out on this exact same comment in my current thread, why have you not answered?

Going to edit and link the thread in a moment, so everyone can see that you fled this argument you coward.

Why aren't any of you using your 2nd Amendment right to bear arms against government tyranny to actually bear arms against government tyranny?

Until Jury Trials have been suspended, only the People can enforce tyranny against themselves by convicting their Peers. Until then, only the People can blame themselves.

Jury nullification basically made the Fugitive Slave laws unenforceable.; it also made 1930's Prohibition nigh unenforceable; it is also bringing an end to Marijuana Prohibition. When people refuse the Plea deals and opt for a Jury trial (in marijuana selling/possession cases), they are almost ALWAYS acquitted.

Have you ever wondered why the Obamacare penalty is IMMUNE to jury review (peer/citizen review)?

This is why the NDAA is also disturbing. If Progressives start making their penalties/crimes immune to Jury review on a common basis, then they will become an abject and overt Tyranny, to which the People have a duty to overthrow. So far, they've only "experimented" with abolishing the Jury system via Obamacare.

The suspension of Jury trials is cited in the Declaration of Independence as one of the primarily reasons for the Revolution of 1776.

Only three things justify the use of FORCE against a Tyranny:

1) Suspension of Jury Trials (Declaration of Independence)
2) Seizing Firearms (Lexington and Concord)
3) Abject and Overt Voter Fraud (Battle of Athens, Tennessee, 1946)

However, now I ask you, why are you advocating using VIOLENCE when peaceful methods of resistance still remain?
