Why would I waste my time being civil to a pack of feral pigs?That's cool. We disagree. Obviously I can't say a percentage I just try to disagree civilly to model a behavior for my political opponents when we disagree and search for areas to compromise but to remain firm in our principles. What's so hard about that?We aren't writing any legislation here. Although there could be some congress critters here, hard to tell. Be specific, should I agree with all things left. 50%? 20%?I hear you and in some ways agree. I don't intend to talk for millions not at all. We have the levers of power and we spend all our time throwing stones at nitwits who LOVE it. Like wrestling in the mud with a pig. You'll both get dirty and the pig will love it. The best way to piss off your enemies is not to bark but to bite. And bite with legislation they don't like. Not tweets and all this blather.Wow, giant popcorn fart there. Speak for yourself, you are not authorized to speak for the minds of millions. If I "hate" someone it's for reasons I consider worthy of hate.ever? Will we ever stop blaming Hillary Obama the media etc for all of our ills? Will there ever be a tiny crack of daylight when we ask ourselves whether our conservative principles and policies are actually being pushed to the side as secondary in favor of this irrational hate?
Will we ever start modeling the behavior that we would like to see in this country? Specifically a rational discourse about policy in which both conservatives and their opponents speak their minds firmly and with civility instead of stooping to the level of our political opponents on the left.
Why can't we show we are better than they by usin our dominance of D.C. to really just make policies they hate instead of all this blather about Hillary and Obama. They are yesterday's news. Within two years all you haters will have latched on to some new targets. Cuomo. Biden. Warren. Franken. And if we haven't legislated by then we have wasted a golden opportunity by just wallowing in this hatred.
This middle roader broad brushing is always such a hoot. What do you expect to happen? Either the left dials it down or the right bends over and grabs their ankles. I'm goddamn glad to see a little resistance FINALLY on the right then I gotta read this shit?
That's just my view from the fry station.
My experience has been failure to agree with them 100% is hate, intolerance, homophobia, sexism, racism, bigotry and all the other weaponized words the left uses to try to turn me into an irrelevant piece of nothing. I'll pass come to think of it.
