I give credit to the freepers to take on the Code Pinkers. Takes nerve to “put it out there”.
But the over the top name calling and constant interrupting discounts that credit.
The CPs won the manners battle.
“I give credit to the freepers to take on the Code Pinkers. Takes nerve to “put it out there”.”
So do I, and yes, it does. I just think some scripting and practice would be useful.
“But the over the top name calling and constant interrupting discounts that credit.”
1. There is a middle ground between “over the top name calling” and pre-emptive surrender.
2. Discounts that credit with whom? Certainly not with the left; they just think polite people are idiots for being so wimpy and ineffective.
“The CPs won the manners battle.”
1. No, they most certainly did not. The supercilious air of superiority affected by those loathsome scumbags is ruder than the crudest of obscenity, because it is deliberately rude whie pretending to civility.
The left often employs the strategy of being deliberately insulting and infuriating while presenting a facade of calm good humor. The unwary may be deceived, but there’s nothing mannerly about it.
2. Winning the manners battle loses us the culture war. It is long past time for decent people to realize that, when dealing with leftists, civility is just a self-imposed handicap.
The left only pretends to manners, and then only to draw an angry reaction for the cameras. Responding to that with genuine courtesy is folly of the highest order.
The left don’t mind engaging in over the top name calling and constant interruption themselves, and their complaints about other people failing to “respect” them are pure hypocrisy.
Acting as though they might possibly have a valid point to make does nothing but accord them an undeserved advantage. They do not have a valid point to make. They do not deserve respect, or even civility.
They are unhung traitors, every one, male and female, and should be treated as such.
You weren’t implying that calling them traitors was over the top name calling, were you? Because frankly, it is impossible to vilify them as strongly as they deserve. Human languages are simply not up to that task.
