How Should Conservatives Deal with the Left’s Disrespect and Lack of Empathy?
@343. MissNicky: – I know I haven’t seen a single coherent defense for the cartoon in question.
Hmmm… here’s a simple question: why does a political cartoon need “defense”? It’s a cartoon. It’s intentionally inflammatory because it’s intended to caricature political reality. What’s the problem again? Is it simply the fact that you don’t understand the nature of political cartoonage?
And speaking of reality, the cartoon itself is only marginally accurate. An accurate caricature of what went down last week would have included Pelosi and Reid standing next to BHO over Liberty’s half-dead body after they had gang-raped her. Don’t like that visual? Sorry, but it’s an accurate caricature of exactly what transpired. Disagree? Fine, disagree. But the notion that the left holds the moral high ground on responses to perceived political abuse is much funnier than any cartoon I’ve seen depicting BHO.
As far as this administration and this Congress is concerned, the Constitution is no longer a barrier to their collectivist, socially suicidal policy. They have Reconciliation, and will now do as they please, irrespective of the rule of law or the express, consistent will of the majority of the American People. The fact that you think “defense” is required to justify angry, inflammatory reactions to this president’s arrogance simply indicates either a very deep level of denial or a very strong will to see the Democrats’ socialist program implemented, with concomitant agreement that any means are justified by that end.
- If conservatives are truly so adult and superior to liberals, why can’t any of this raise a civil discussion from those on that side?
Simple: you can’t have a “civil discussion” with someone who is trying to kill you. The real issue is that YOU don’t see it that way and your confirmation bias forces you to see that statement as hyperbole.
The simple fact, however, is that everything this administration has done works toward the destruction of this Republic as it was defined. If you don’t like the Republic and you’re happy about this destruction, I can respect that. But please don’t yammer on about “Republicans” and their perceptions and opinions when it comes to our first honest-to-goodness Demagogue-in-Chief. He lied his way into office. He has piled an unsustainable debt on American Taxpayers. He has never publicly released probative documentation affirming his eligibility to be elected. He and his socialist ilk in the Democrat party have actively worked to destroy our economy since January of 2007. And with all that, the response from those who see BHO for what he is, and has always been – a Marxist ideologue – has never even come close to approaching the level of vitriol and tawdry ridicule used to attack his predecessor for 8 years… and counting.
