If I hit the like button, I do like the post. In some way. It could he someone effectively calling me out on a mistake or someone making a solid point that may be undermine my position, but was something I did not think of. Or the like could simply be for a quality post that reaffirms my position. I now fully understand another one of the Radical Leftist’s techniques to get people to buy into their agenda. The use of this technique is a psychological and a social war crime, in my opinion. Some very experienced salespeople learn this technique, but those with ethics don’t use it. Salesmen and con artists have no problem in using it, even if they are financially well off. Democratic political hacks look to tap into people’s sense of justice. However, life in the United States makes it a bit harder to find cases of true injustice. After all, we have freedom to move, change jobs, voice our opinions, and there is a system of support through the Government and the church should we fall. There are few areas where one’s sense of justice is higher than racism. After all, nothing is worse than being judged because of something you can’t do anything about, such as the color of your skin. The problem for Democrats is the active practice of racism is all but dead. Society as a whole looks down on people who make remarks that seem racially insensitive, much less than a blatant example of racism. So the media will focus on incidents they can characterize, appropriately or not, examples of racism. Because overt practice of racism is so rare, sometimes stories need to be made up. Remember Justin Smollett? How about a girlfriend of a certain NBA owner recorded and published a private conversation between her and her boyfriend’s racially insensitive remarks? Women rights are another area the Democrats have leveraged to their advantage. Discrimination on the basis of sex is almost non existent nowadays. However, the political value of sexual assault is still high because it taps strongly into people’s sense of justice. Even if you can get away with faking it. Remember Christine Blasey Ford with her false Brett Kavenaugh rape accusation in an attempt to hold up a Supreme Court appointment for potential political gain? Ford tried to clean up her social media accounts before her accusation. Are you smart enough to derive a sense of Ford’s state of mind or her character when she did this? Unfortunately for the Democrats, the political value of racism and sexism has declined as society has accepted it is unfair to prejudge people on the basis of their skin color or sex. So the Democrats needed to find new areas where they could create a sense of injustice for political gain. The next frontier to be conquered was homosexuality. Then it was transgender. The difference with homosexuality and transgender is this is usually a choice. As such, these groups of people are not entitled to special consideration. This is because they are already protected by laws already in place. Have there been attacks on gays because of their homosexuality? Of course, just as their has been attacks on people for wearing a hat. Regardless of age. People have the right to be gay and to wear a hat, just as people have the right to complain about someone being gay or wearing a hat. We see the media mischaracterize certain law enforcement shootings of minorities to further their narrative that racism is alive and well in order to unfairly tap into people’s sense of justice for political gain. The Democrats have corrupted much our media for their political gain. Fortunately, enough people have connected the decline of our culture with Radical Leftist ideas and have not fully given in to their propaganda. So far. The Radical Leftists have control of most of the media, whether it is CBS, NBC, CNN, Facebook, or various newspapers and magazines. I would call this state run media, but the Democrats don’t control all branches of the US Government. Yet. Can you now see why I object to you watching so much T.V?
It has every thing to do with it. First, it demonstrates the great threat just across our border, a threat that is becoming more entrenched in our own country every day. We live next to a violent failed narco state and we have basically open borders. That's a problem. Second, the immediate push by the leftwing media to discredit these "fundamentalists" was obviously driven by the fear that this incident would imperil the open borders agenda. There was an initial rush of articles trying to somehow cast doubt on their legitimacy, now there is a total blackout.
Hate to see woman and children get killed by drug dealers, but you have made some solid points. Hard drug abuse in the US is responsible for most of the violent crimes in the US and to me it does need to be addressed more seriously. Illegal drug use in the US directly and indirectly causes more deaths per year than any or at least most of our shooting wars have caused. We certainly have plenty of law enforcement and the know how to make a serious dent in the manufacture and transportation of illegal drugs, but are undermined by short sided politicians. For what passes as probable cause nowadays for impeachment proceedings we could use to temporarily amplify law enforcement’s effectiveness in drug interdiction efforts.
Weak counter argument. Sugar on your mind? Please tell me you have not started drinking sodas again. Unless, of course, you love getting shiny new stents. So let me know the next time you are in Houston, and I will do a Forest Gump and bring you a box of chocolates.
You want to beef up border security, I'm all for it. Catch an illegal entering and just turn them around 180 and wish them luck? Sounds good to me. More ICE raids, especially on business? Sweet. Abolish sanctuary cities and states? A must do. Send troops across the border to avenge the deaths of people who 99% of Americans didn't even know existed a week before and who have chosen to live among the drug cartels for reasons yet unknown? Nope, bad idea with very serious and deadly consequences on a scale we aren't prepared to deal with.
That was not an argument, it was a you can't expect to be taken serious with that waffle. Not when I need my Sunday dinner anyway. Approaching understanding something be it a problem at work or the behaviour of people from the middle never works out. Just becomes a circle jerk where nobody has an edge. Just study this one thing from the foundation of behaviour and keep it in mind. This is the easy to read version, the full paper is free. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/02/130213173131.htm You will then understand why AAA for example uses tough words but these come from fear so he seems like a little sissy to someone manly. 54 or 56% or people who vote democrat are NOT "liberals", they are just under the dem tent as it is a two party system.
