After this...

[Lesh]

You can check my posts discouraging those on this board from seeking something other than civil political discourse, but I must also be ready to engage those who come to me, too. I can't sit here and turn the other cheek forever. I can for a time, but not forever.

And then what?

Violence?

 

[kyzr]

Aww look at you pretending the Neo-GOP isn't controlled to a large extent by the Mega Extreme, aka the Rush Limbaugh arm of the Party. The Rabid right extreme is just as culpable, if not more so, than the Loonie left. Which side is more culpable? Well that's debatable. That they're both part of the same on going problem, is not.

Typing opinions with no support isn't getting us anywhere.
1. The "Neo-GOP" is what we call "populism". Its winning elections by not going too "conservative" or MAGA EXTREME.
2. The rabid right wing of the GOP are what we call "Never-Trumpers" or democrats.
3. Which side is more culpable? Democrats are the ones voting from roof tops.

Well, it sure looks to me like they're winning their "war", so the other half of the country may as well strap in and see if this disaster has an expiration date.

After this, after I saw the service, how Erika conquered sorrow itself to deliver a message of forgiveness, how she pleaded for unity, I couldn't take it anymore. I am a conservative, but a political atheist. I don't believe in a two-party system; however, I find that my views constantly draw the ire of the political left. The same political left that spawned the assassin who killed Charlie Kirk. After what has transpired, I have been radicalized. I find that this is a battle I cannot avoid. I don't go looking for a battle to fight, but I feel this battle has found me. I feel, as a conservative, something stirring within me. I want to fight back in my own way, conquer this senseless violence with the gifts I have been given. Not with fists or guns, but with speech and intelligence. With raw facts and reality. With brains, not brawn.

All I ever wanted for America was for her citizens to get along, but I fear that time may have long since passed. Can I be a political pacifist anymore? Can I sit idly by while others fight for their beliefs in the political arena? I feel like I can no longer run from this anymore.

The old saying goes: "It is better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war." Though I wouldn't qualify this as a war... yet. I never wanted to be anyone's enemy, but on the left, they insist on making me one. So be it. If they wish to wage a political fight, one done with words instead of bullets, so be it. I am here. The gauntlet is thrown.

After this, there can be given no quarter to those who insist on violence to quell the speech of those they disagree with. I will be as Charlie was, a challenger, a debater, and a God fearing conservative.

May God rest your soul, Charlie.

- And there are MILLIONS more like you. Perhaps not as driven to correct the misinformation - OK, let’s not mince words here….the LIES - but enough to switch their vote away from the far-left that has kidnapped what had been the Democrat Party.

- And when that happens, the leftist media that has been spreading the lies will see their profits dry up as they lose their audience. They will be forced to move to the center.

- And corporations, previously beholden to the left, will feel free to abandon their racist DEI policies and hire according to who is the most qualified, regardless of skin color. The output by American companies will rise in quality and quantity.

- And top schools will abandon their quota systems, with different standards for different races. No longer will the poor white kid with top grades and scores be rejected in favor of a black kid with inferior metrics. No longer will we have a school like TJ (a competitive public school) say, in effect, “we have too many Asians acing our entrance exam and too few blacks, so we are getting rid of the exam.” And the best and brightest among us will be encouraged to reach their potential.

The Turning Point was Kirk’s murder.

Politics makes strange bed fellows

I am confident that most of the GOP is made up of secularists who cringe at the whole Christian element within their party, but what they fail to understand is that without them, the country would be taken over by these insane Marxist assassins.

Only Christ stands in the way of them

 

[OldFlame]

These neo-leftists haven't just pushed the right and the center away, they pushed a lot of moderate democraps away. They keep pushing the boundary of extremism and those that can't keep up get ostracized. What interests me is that the democrap politicians prioritize the extremists. Why? What benefit do they actually give?

They believe, and are most likely right, that those extremists give them the margin when it comes time to vote, so they pander to them because they know they can count on left moderates. They won't stop until they are sent a message at the voting booth.

I’m Jewish. I didn’t care for all the “convert to Jesus” stuff by the pastor at the beginning of the memorial service, but I look past it, and why?

Because the good values - and the government policies to support them - are held by the GOP, and the upside-down values that damage our country are held by the Democrats.

My vote goes with those who want to correct the harm of the Left, and return to common-sense, decent values. Whether someone believes in Jesus is irrelevant to me, OTHER THAN THE FACT that they follow the values he set forth.

Which side is more culpable? Democrats are the ones voting from roof tops.

The side that is lying. (trick answer). Like your insinuation that the recent assassination was carried out by a Democrat or that the Democrats somehow are solely responsible for the young mans murderous actions. He was not a register democrat and he came from a Republican household.

Define who the 'Neo-GOP' is, and what their policies are. Thanks

 

[EvilCat Breath]

You have to understand something, though: I was a far-right extremist into my mid-20s. This political upheaval threatens to bring that extremism back into the light, but what I have now that I didn't then is learned restraint. I can channel that extremism into something productive instead. A level-headed effort to fight disinformation about people who share my views.

This isn't political division. A political divide can be overcome. This division is between good and evil, life and death. If you don't believe me, look again.

And he was radicalized to the Left, by the Left, and influenced by the lies calling Kirk a “fascist.” He even carved that into one of the bullets.

You're the one spreading the lies here. He was an adult, you must be another of those that somehow believes that adult children can't have different political or even moral views than their parents, utterly stupid. You look like a fool even trying to use that as some kind of an excuse to disavow him and let your 'side' off the hook. You'll never learn.

Great! just out of curiosity, what's your "battle plan"?

Please tell me that it entails more than just bickering with anonymous people on an Internet web forum.

Well, if they were as smart as they profess to be, they would see that the popularity of the democrap party is heading toward negative numbers, and the political zeitgeist is moving toward Trump. And they must know the left-moderates are abandoning the party and registering republican. If they were smart they would do an emergency course correction today before the midterms gives the GOP a massive supermajority. Maybe they just aren't that smart?

True. But he was not a Republican, not even close. He was living with his tranny boyfriend.
Tyler Robinson's hateful "murderous action" was because of the democrat's lying drumbeat that Charlie Kirk was "hateful" or "fascist". Similar to their other drumbeat that Republicans are "fascists", or "a threat to democracy", which could get someone else killed.

No one has proven he was a radical leftist.

An honest examination of Kirk's positions based on his own remarks reveals a man who held bigoted beliefs about gays, blacks, was a climate change denier, a gun rights zealot, espoused antisemitic views, and was Islamophobic. Making him a MAGAist's MAGAist. As a human being Kirk was not worthy of the colossally outsized response to his tragic murder. Rather, his value to the Right lies in the extent to which his death has been politicized.

Would such a course correction even be believable?

It's misplaced ego, they think they are smarter than everyone else, just look at the lefties on this board, full of arrogance. They will never admit to being wrong.

1. Not bigoted beliefs about gays, those are what we call "religious beliefs". Ask Muslims what they do to gays.
2. Not bigoted beliefs about blacks, Charlie opposed "affirmative action". How can you eliminate racism if you institutionalize it?
Charlie was color-blind regarding race, his religious beliefs would never allow racism.
3. Climate change?
4. Gun rights? See the 2A.
5. Antisemitic? I call bullshit.
6. Islamophobic? Also call bullshit.
7. Who the **** are you to even comment on Charlies' memorial service? Must have been wayyyy over your head.

stick to spamming stupid TDS threads, its all you do.
