I certainly agree about the Left and its attempts to shut down opposing speech. As I say all the time, these people are not liberals. But the right is just as rigid when it comes to cooperation, to bending on ANYTHING. Cooperation to the Right is abject capitulation.So a winger from one end shoots a Congressman from the other end, and we on USMB take that serious and thought-provoking occasion to keep right on attacking, mocking & insulting each other. Pretty much immediately.
Tell me, what is the goal of non-stop attacks on the other side?
.
Their goal is to silence our side. We see this in the streets, at college campuses and classrooms, here on USMB by saying anybody that disagrees with liberalism is racist, sexist homophobe.......
The left has very little in the way of common sense. Pragmatism is a theme of the right. To allow conservatives to speak freely or enact legislation to steer our country in the proper direction is a huge threat to the left and they know it. Letting us run the show for a while would prove successful and people may leave the left and join the right which has been happening the last decade.
The only way to keep their constituents is to build a wall. They use any and all tools to do this. They use the media, they use Hollywood, they use the unions, they use indoctrination of our children, they use the internet.......
So what we are left with is two immovable objects and zero communication. Once communication is 100% gone, it's fucking OVER. And we're not far from that right now.
SOMEBODY has re-open lines of communication. Do you agree with that, and if so, who will that be?
.
No, I don't agree with that at all. Neither side wants to listen to what the other side has to say. Speaking as a righty who listens to talk radio all day, our side has been complaining (for years) that we are not aggressive enough; that we give in to the left too often.
Trump wanted to build a wall--we wanted him to build a wall. We elected him for that reason. So WTF is the wall? Trump gave into the lefts demand of no wall. We wanted an end to sanctuary cities, we wanted them defunded. Are sanctuary cities defunded today? No, the left has sent their commie judges to stop our political process, and I don't see much in the way of resistance from the right. We wanted an end to planned parenthood funding, we voted to eliminate any and all unnecessary spending--especially spending on leftist agendas. Are we still funding planned parenthood or not?
It's the right that gives in all the time or becomes subdued by crooked politics of the left. We even gave into the lefts demand that we have our very own President investigated without an ounce of evidence that he did anything wrong. Do you think DumBama would have done that to himself after we sold Russia our uranium or after Benghazi?
So you can't say there are two immovable objects--we only have one, and that is the left.
