How Should Conservatives Deal with the Left’s Disrespect and Lack of Empathy?
“Samizdat:
To those of you having difficulty coming to terms with Nazism being a left wing ideology, Hitler didn’t call it national socialism because he was a free market capitalist.
”
That’s why so many Jews are liberals, dear .
Because the Nazis were left wing. That’s the ticket.
Seriously. I really would enjoy a discussion from either side and bring this thing to a realistic place but the unintended humor of so much of this is almost unbearable.
Maybe I’ll try another day. But the “Alas, liberals are so intolerant” followed by a vast majority of liberal-bashing “dittos” is just hysterical. Conservatives should consider this in reverse. It would be ridculous in that direction , also.
Real people focus on real things. Not victimization cries and a pretty deep show of the thing they’re supposed to be opposing – intolerance. If it’s a party game, OK, maybe. Not if people want to be serious. I appreciate getting things posted, however.
And while I’m here, a reminder – sometimes it’s just about people. Not ideology. When William Buckley and William Safired died, there were many tributes to them from pundits, bloggers and posters. Those types are missed. Jeff Goldstein is no William Buckley. He may be the finest fellow in the world to his friends, but his site is like hell unless you drink the Koolaid and loathe what the regulars loathe.
