TBP, that isn’t the point, to encourage their destruction.
The point of the article is, liberals are losing patience due to the intractability of conservatives who continue to resist just allowing liberals to “gently snap on the shackles” and they are being forced to show the iron fist of liberalism and statism before they really want to. In short, they are losing their patience.
Think of a person who has a dog, and they beat and mistreat the dog. But they must call the dog and get it within arms reach to attach the chain, so they smile, call the dog, crouch down, display foods the dog likes, and so on.
All the while holding the chain behind the back so the dog can’t see it.
But the dog approaches, grows cautious, just out of reach, and continually backs away, only to stop and stare while the owner begins the wheedling and pleading and displaying of the food.
But time grows ever tighter. The owner must get the chain on the dog’s neck soon, or all is lost. Tones of his voice change in subtle ways, the stress is showing through. The owner keeps a smile, but now it is forced. The teeth are gritted, the jaw muscles clenched, the motions with the plate of food are becoming a bit jerky, as if the plate would be shoved wholly into the mouth of the unfortunate dog should it get too close.
Soon, the Owner stands upright and begins to yell at the dog “GET THE HELL OVER HERE!” and in doing so, the dog catches sight of the chain being concealed behind the Owner’s back.
The Owner has just inadvertently shown the dog the iron fist behind the velvet glove.
At this point, the dog will turn and run, deserting the owner forever.
The Owner is liberalism and statism.
The Dog is the American citizen.
THAT is our hope.
or quite possibly rip out the owners throat and dine on puppy chow with a side of marx...
How I enjoyed reading that! At the end I saw it was by you!
Thanks!
