The Left has used civility and good manners to sneak in their concept of political correctness, which, in the final analysis, is the path that leads to the death of freedom of speech (i.e. truth).
Truth to the Left is like daylight to vampires.
Yep.
I don’t want a safe society.
I don’t want a polite society.
I want a truthful government.
I suspect that if we got back to the Truth, we would find that the safety and the politeness would come along for free.
Good point and exactly what I said in post #17, second paragraph.
Your point bears repeating: The left uses our civility and manners as a weapon against us.
In a way it is our greatest weakness. When a doosh politician says “that’s not who we are”, he is using our civility against us. We need to be able to nip that nonsense in the bud.
Yaelle, I love you as a FReeper sibling, but the absolutely most important thing for Donald is to get elected. Nothing else matters. The literal fate of Western Civilization rests upon him.
If this “civility” thing you speak of aids that goal, then I approve.
Not civility in politics. Civility in inner cities, etc. it would have to be to All Americans but wouldn’t apply to any Americans behaving as humans. Just those who react only as animals and don’t have proper civilizing parents and communities.
I agree with you completely but I do think it would be a good thing re BLM. And I am completely outvoted here so I should shut up. It was just an idea.
