YouTube ^ | 7/22/20 | Patrick Rooney

Posted on 07/22/2020 12:17:03 PM PDT by rebuildus

Old School™ With Patrick Rooney Podcast is back with a vengeance! Patrick interviews long-time friend and popular comedian Marc Yaffee, asking if Americans can talk to each other again, after the hostilities among "the tribes" have been ramped up by to the extreme in recent months.

This is Part I of a two-part series... Part II will discuss how Marc became a successful comedian (part of the "Success" podcast series)

(Excerpt) Read more at youtu.be ...


TOPICS: Chit/Chat; Miscellaneous; Society
KEYWORDS: conversation; dialogue; natural; order
Hoping to provide an example of constructive dialogue--hating the other tribe is a losing game. Don't have to agree, and some will never listen, of course, but some ears are open out there!

Drop the masks, and..maybe. Can’t even talk to the checker at the Publix anymore.

Honestly, I think one of the reasons for the hostility is that we have been and are still being prevented from talking to each other. Therefore only the screamer gets attention and the ever-vocal Marxists have been allowed to take over all discourse.

I don’t want to talk to leftwads. At all, ever again.

They are not Americans, and have forfeited their right to the benefits of living here.

You obvioulsy made no effort to watch any part of the podcast. Some of you on this forum are the kind of "get off my lawn" conservatives the media likes to caricature. I'm not talking about talking to people burning America down. So I hope you're not saying we shouldn't talk to anyone to the left of us. A lot of us WERE on the left at one time. Scary to think where we'd be now if no one with sense made an effort to talk with us.

Is Mr, Yaffee one of the countless liberal comedians that has been nurturing the one sided anger and dislike for the past few decades?
I ask because I don’t know who he is, but since most “comedians” are unfunny leftist a-holes, if he is one, he is parts of the problem.

Yep change is inevitable and has been since time/history began.
Just go back to 1492 when Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
Where are those natives now?

Take it a step or two forward and who will be the current natives
in 2500 some 500 years hence? What will the rulers at that time
look like or even be? Will this planet called Earth even exist?

“You obvioulsy made no effort to watch any part of the podcast.”

Right, because anyone who did would agree with you.

“Some of you on this forum are the kind of “get off my lawn” conservatives the media likes to caricature.”

Some of “you?” What, aren’t you one of us? I guess not, if you care what the media think.

“I’m not talking about talking to people burning America down.”

All leftist thought, from the limousine liberalism of a George Clooney to the murderous horrors of Mao, Stalin, and Pol Pot, is of and from Satan. Leftism is a contaminant in the human cognosphere, not a natural component of it.

“So I hope you’re not saying we shouldn’t talk to anyone to the left of us.”

There never really was a time for talking, because the left always intended to persevere to the death, if necessary. The only way violence could have been averted would have been our preemptive surrender to evil.

“A lot of us WERE on the left at one time. Scary to think where we’d be now if no one with sense made an effort to talk with us.”

You can’t talk a man out of a position he wasn’t talked into in the first place. It was reality—or God, if you’re a believer—that disabused me of left-wing cant.

We are not the ones who have instigated this violence. It has been the forces of evil who have thrown the first brick, fired the first shots, burned the first neighborhoods. The forces of evil, including the demonrat party, and everyone who is even microscopically to the left are responsible.

You can’t hear a thing. Sad. I hope your mindset isn’t dominant around here. No wonder conservatism is dying. Who would want to be part of it listening to you? There’s no Christianity left in it, or very little it seems.
