If Conservatives Set Aside Civility To Fight The Left’s Rude Provocation, We Will All Lose
The Federalist ^ | June 27, 2018 | Georgi Boorman

Posted on 06/28/2018 6:51:45 AM PDT by C19fan

Remember when Laura Ingraham tweeted about how David Hogg was “whining” after being rejected by a bunch of colleges, and the left, in a fit of outrage, immediately went after her show’s advertisers? I seem to recall folks on the right were pretty irritated at those pushy social justice warriors. But now that White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was asked to leave a restaurant out of the owner’s “moral conviction,” some say it’s time to “go low” and “fight dirty.”

SkyMast, whose profile description says she’s been “resisting the siren call of Marxism for 23 years straight,” also tweeted: “These suppliers get to choose which side they come down on, sucks that they are forced into this position, but Red Hen pulled the trigger. Wars are messy and often times unfair. Such is life.”

Yet they are becoming wise enough to leave the Dummycrat party. Gotta give ‘em credit for that.

We’re above all that. It’s not who we are. If we fight back, the liberals win. We’re better than that.

You forgot your sarcasm tag?

My point being, someone on the left menaces, threatens or does horrible violence; then someone on the right makes a mildly sarcastic dig about it, and the left makes moral equivalence between those two completely unequal things.

Moral high ground aside. If we do the things they do, which one is going to end up all over the TV screens, in newspapers, on websites, social media and just how do you think it will be betrayed?

We are already being portrayed as sub-humans who have no right to even exist. What could be worse?

We may be winning slowly right now but they do not behave using any rules. They have thrown away decency and all morality so they can justify doing anything to us they darned well please.

I have written this before: They are now so crazy because, after eight years of commie Obama, they were almost touching their prize, which is the destruction of the United States and the implementation of Communism. They were so close they could smell it. They were sure Hillary was going to win and we all know that would have been the final nail in the coffin for the USA.

When Donald Trump won they lost any sense of objectivity (if they had any to begin with) and acted out like the childish three year olds they emotionally were.

That worked so well for GWB. Turning the other cheek over and over again ...

Having visual proof on film, on the nightly news. How many times did the msm show that charlottesville driver plowing into bodies?

I wonder if the same thing was proposed by the White Russians as Lenin/Trotsky came to power? Our leftists are also VERY dangerous, and we need to push back in every way possible.

mass boycotting the leftist propagandists just needs to be big enough - done on a widespread national scale to have the libtars scurrying away with their asses burned.

simpler than punching every leftist screaming ‘racist’ in your face (for now)

its a matter of demonstrating to the left the power of the sane people in this country

Sorry Georgi, you fight fire with fire.

Were we “civil” to Hitler and Tojo? Of course not.

President Donald John Trump taught us HOW TO WIN. Never forget those lessons. Let the chucked traitors whine all they want to, then take the fight to the enemy, crush them and bathe of the tears of the mewling snowflakes.

Glad to hear it! You can't tell the sarcasm any more, the left is so freaking crazy.
