Just NAILS it. Yet the left is so far up it’s own ass it cannot see why Dems are leaving in droves.
-
I’m certain there are thousands if not millions of voters in the same boat.
Thus the need for a Wag the Dog war right now.

but would that guy vote for a republican? even a RINO?
it's all well and good that people who identify as democrats are p***ed at the clown occupying the whitehouse.... but they still vote for whatever slug has a (D) next to his/her/whatever name.
-

Possibly not. Especially not Trump.
But even if he can help put the brakes on the runaway train that is pulling the Dems so far and fast to the left we will all be better off.
I loved hearing what he had to say, but I wish he had talked more about law & order, and about more people working rather than giving up looking for work so the don't count as unemployed. And I wish he talked more about the invasion of illegals.
But it was still good to hear him say the things he did.

It would be sufficient if they simply abstained from voting for such a poor candidate. You know, like the libertarian voters.

Shhh. When your enemy is self destructing, shut up and let them.

When they do not show up to vote, the Democrat system will still have their votes cast for the Democrats.
Just like dead Republicans.

Oh man that is EXACTLY true.

Here is an example of that cartoon.
https://www.newsmax.com/us/loudoun-county-parents-critical-race-theory-school-board/2021/11/14/id/1044627/
Concerned Parents Group Branded as 'Alt-right' by Loudoun County Official
Juli Briskman, a member of the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors branded a group of concerned parents that mobilized against school board members as "alt-right," although the group includes Jewish and Black parents.
After the parent group Fight for Schools recently obtained enough signatures to challenge all remaining school board members who started a campaign against parents opposing teaching critical race theory, Briskman tweeted in response to the petitions filed against the school board chair:
"[Thank you, Loudoun for All] for a factual & thorough debunking of the alt-right FFS petitions. If they want to fight for schools they should support teacher pay increases, more mental health resources and ending the school to prison pipeline."
"As a Jewish American, I am completely offended," Elicia Brand, a Loudoun County mom who volunteers for Fight for Schools, told Fox News. "I take that as a personal affront. I support [Fight for Schools Executive Director] Ian Prior and everything that he is doing for the schools and the parents in every way.
"I know many people in the Fight for Schools organization, and not one of them is alt-right, not one of them is far-right, not one of them is racist. She is putting political ideology and political agenda before the needs of the citizens of Loudoun County, and she owes every one of us an apology. To call us alt-right is a punch in the gut, a stab in the heart for all parents who fight for their children."
Joe Mobley, a Black father in Loudoun County, told Fox News, "I think it's absurd; it's an ad-hominem."
Mobley added Briskman is only trying to distract from her idea that parents should not have a say in what is taught in the classroom, since your kids belong to the state, and Briskman launched her political career by flipping off then-President Donald Trump.
"Ms. Briskman's false and defamatory statement is an attack on a diverse coalition of thousands of Loudoun County residents that are utilizing a legal process to remove school board members that have violated the law and their own code of conduct," Prior told Fox News. "The best thing Ms. Briskman could do, as an elected official, is publicly retract her statement and cease and desist from regularly attacking her constituents on social media.
"But we aren't holding our breath."

Just remember, it works both ways.

Give examples of how we or other people that lean right do that. Be specific and name names. Commies? They are. No actually they're Fascists on the Left now.
You're wrong again. This is a disturbing trend.

The only examples I can think of are Number7 here calling bflynn and little joe liberals when I suspect both of them are centrists at worst and probably lean right. I can’t think of a single example out in the world. Yet every day I see a leftist accuse even other leftists let alone centrists of being “alt-right” because they expressed an opinion not totally aligned with leftist group think.

how many registered republicans are moderates?
How many of those are labelled RINOs?

Not sure what you mean but calling a Republican a RINO isn’t the same thing as calling them a leftist.
Russell Brand says vaccines shouldn’t be mandated- he’s called a far right conspiracy theorist.
Ted Cruz says the Jan 6 protesters were terrorists. Nobody on the right calls him a far left radical.
See the difference? The right doesn’t throw you all the way over the line for one view like the left does.

Well, I hate to disagree with you Rush, but there are some on this board that do just that.
I'd sort of like to know how many Rs are considered RINO's. Perhaps it is the ones labeling them RINO's that are the real RINOs.

Do what? Call Ted Cruz a far left radical? I don’t recall anyone on this board doing that. As I already said, some on this board may call others “liberal communist pussies” who are actually not, but I’m talking about out in the world. Mainstream media, social media, commentators, journalists, celebrities. Where is an example of one of them on the right accusing a centrist of being a far leftist?

No, not that.

Not really, if you look at the cartoon and think about what it’s saying. (And yes, ignore 7, who has also called me a liberal or something.)
The cartoon denotes the left pushing the centrist. The right catches the centrist. I think that’s true. The left insists on compliance and complete agreement with its policies. It cannot abide by free-thinkers, or people who don’t completely buy into the orthodoxy.
Now let’s look at the right. Give me an example where the right pushes centrists to the left? The right holding true to some principles such as abortion is not pushing people to the left. I’m talking about demanding fielty to a belief system incapable of compromise.
You can tell this by how the left coalesces and is so powerful in government - if you depart from the orthodoxy, you are dead to them. I give you exhibits A and B - Manchin and Sinema.
Yes, the left got centrists last election because they didn’t like Trump, which worked out so well for them. But in general, the right is the one with the big tent. We welcome almost all who come. Hell, someone named Cardi B said something conservative and the GOP wanted to crown her king of the GOP caucus. Pretty ridiculous, but that’s the general tone of the right, and why the cartoon is accurate.

To add to this, the thing that causes this phenomenon is cult mentality. So you probably do have some small fringe groups on the so-called “right” who would do this, like actual white supremacists where if you don’t agree with their niche ideas you’re too far left.
But the situation we have is that a fringe cult mentality has taken over a large portion of the Democrat party, the urban woke culture, mainstream media, educational institutions, and government. It is widespread. Cancel culture for example is exactly this. Rosanne Barr for example was a liberal Democrat, supporting working class people. Then the Democrat Party changed, went far left fascist and now Trump’s Republican populism supports the working class. Barr didn’t change, she stayed consistently anti-establishment. It’s the Democrat Party that moved and became the authoritarian establishment, and flip flopped against the common man, and now Barr is blasted as being a far right wing racist.
It is pervasive on the left. It is not pervasive on the right, because the “right” isn’t actually a cult. It’s the real world values of freedom, rule of law not rule of class, upholding Constitutional rights, and being on the side of the forgotten man.
The issue of censorship alone proves my point. The left censors. Cults must censor. The right doesn’t censor which means they are not trying to force a cult religion.

Well, I wasn't necessarily calling out anyone in this thread. Now, what you said wasn't strong, but you just did it to a small extent.
I think some of what Trump has done and said rises to that level. He comes across as hateful and arrogant and even people that he didn't attack have taken a step back. The exodus of registered Republicans while he was president is documented. Should we be surprise there are people who don't want to be associated with what he was doing?
The riot at the Capitol did it too. There were people who turned away on the belief that these few Republicans were trying to stop the Constitutional process from taking place.
Certainly we don't have to always agree with people. But the notion that only the Left can be ugly and turn people off is ridiculous.

They were fearful of people protesting? ya know, exercising free speech?

The people in Capitol were not there to protest. They were there to disrupt the counting of the electoral votes. Even Fox says that's what they were doing.

Oh my God, you’ve got the be FUCKING KIDDING ME. I cannot believe that you are buying into the left narrative about that day.
There was a tiny minority of people there that were yelling and a tiny minority caused damage. Not a single person in the Capitol was armed, except for the police, many of whom LET THE PEOPLE WALK RIGHT IN. The guy in the Buffalo head dress walked into the Senate chamber and sat in the speakers chair and talked to the cop. That’s it, and he’s been sitting in prison for a fucking year. People walking through the rotunda and Statuary Hall walked in between the velvet ropes!
It was the worst “insurrection” in world history.
Yet the left completely misuse that word in order to
punish their political opponents and try to prevent GOP incumbents from running for office. The democrats have weaponized the English language, using simple people like you to buy into a false narrative.

Fox is a traitor. They have no credibility. They showed their hand on election night. They don’t get to say what the protestors were doing.
The protesters wanted to be heard. All of the media has been lying to them for four years trying to tear down Trump and has been ignoring their problems, misrepresenting them, calling them racists, sexists, homophobic etc etc. On top of it all then the election was stolen. They had had enough.
That article said, “ Hundreds of protesters storming the people's house this afternoon following an emotional rally…..”
The PEOPLE’S house? FUCK YOU, Fox News! The protesters are the people! I’m the people. I know why they were there because the only reason I wasn’t there in person was I’m too old and sick. But I was there watching the streaming videos for hours. Disputing the counting was not the point. Sending the message was the point, and it was made. That Capitol is ours, not Pelosi’s and the rest. They are our servants, not the other way around but the DC elite think they’re now royalty. Fuck them and fuck Fox News.

I didn’t address Flynn’s mention of Fox News because I thought it was so absurd that he had to pull some article from Fox to gain some credibility. What a fucking joke.

He’s not keeping up. Fox has sold out. They’re keeping a few non-leftists because they know they’ll lose most of their viewers if they don’t. They are actually “controlled opposition.” Just pretending to be on our side.

Did I ever say it was a large number of people? It was a very tiny minority, but their stated goal was to reach the House chamber and disrupt the count.
Was it a really bad plan with really bad execution? Again, I agree.
And FoxNews isn't far enough right for you? That's hilarious. I'll alert Sean and Tucker that they aren't conservatives anymore.
And BTW, back to my original post. I'm guessing I should bail out of here, I'm obviously too far left for the lot of you.

flynn likes to pretend he is conservative, but his true nature bleeds through often enough that anyone paying attention knows it.
I believe that Conservatism is a convenience to him, allowing him to make believe whatever he thinks gains him cred with real conservatives, but his real nature can't remain hidden continuously.

Hey bflynn, maybe you can answer these questions"
Why was Ray Epps on the most wanted list and then disappeared from it and has never been arrested in spite of all the video showing him calling for folks to breach the capitol?
What did Ray Epps whisper in the guys ear just prior to that guy beginning to tear down the security barrier?
Who was the guy on the scaffolding with the bullhorn yelling out instructions?
Who was the guy behind the security fencing that began rolling it up on cue that allowed folks to fet by and rush the Capitol?
If you claim to not know about any of these things, then we can assume you have not done much research into this.

No idea. I am not a mind reader, I am unable to tell you what other people were thinking.

I might be misremembering but I thought you voted for Trump, not Biden in 2020. If so, that’s good enough for me. You can belong to whatever party you want, have whatever viewpoints you want, say whatever you want on forums. Doesn’t matter. You’re okay by me. On the other hand, anyone that votes for the Democrats in their current form is my enemy.

You said “The people in Capitol were not there to protest. They were there to disrupt the counting of the electoral votes. Even Fox says that's what they were doing.”
There were a lot of people in the Capitol. Ergo, you CLEARLY implied that a lot of people were there to disrupt the counting of EVs. You never said or implied that it was a very tiny minority.
Words matter, which is why I’m rebelling against the democrats for the constant drumbeat calling a protest an “insurrection.” You are falling into the same boat. I thought you were smarter than that.
What the fuck does Fox News being on the “right” have anything to do with anything? My God, you’re starting to sound like Jen Psaki, ridiculing Fox like it was Mad Magazine or something.
Don’t forget PS isn’t an airport. No need to announce your departure.

I hesitated to speak for him at the time, but it appeared to me that he meant he was leaving that line of discussion, not the forum. Since I met him last year at Oshkosh he didn't seem the type to get huffy that way.

That was a great video. When I learned Spanish in HS, my teacher was from Poland - Ledzek Wolkowski. Do I learned Spanish with a Polish accent.

Stack their accent on top of my deafness and add a face mask, IMPOSSIBLE to understand. Or any foreign accent, there’s a nice lady at the CVS whose first language isn’t English, so she’s behind plexiglass, has a mask on, I’m deaf as a post in the best of circumstances, I might as well be on the bottom of the ocean trying to hear her. Can we PLEASE get rid of the motherfucking masks. On top of muffling sound it removes lip reading which deaf people need.

The facial compliance diapers are not going away anytime soon, especially on the federal level. I don't see the compliance diapers going away for air travel.
Fortunately in the free states it's dying away, except for the liberal companies who can't imagine life without showing allegiance to the Branch Covidians.

Yep. They were a permanent fixture in China long before covid and now I guess we are emulating China as some kind of role model. The Democrats are trying like hell to turn us into a totalitarian slave state just like them. Face diapers are a symbol of submission.

I think masks are already dead in most of the US. It’s just that we haven’t told the coastal elites that it’s over. It’s not over for the educational industrial complex. I simply can’t understand how the left abides by child abuse on a daily basis.
There are still fear porn addicted people who wear them, but that’s on them.

Sec Pete ButtJizz will not relinquish them on commercial air travel. And the airline CEO's fear the woke mob and won't remove the requirement.
And it's only the schools in the blue shithole districts that still demand them.

I wish I could have liked that more than once.
I find myself in that position all the time. I often tell them I’m deaf and need them to take their mask off and look at me as they speak. If they say they can’t I turn around and walk off. Even at doctors appointments or if I have a load of purchases on the counter. Nobody has yet let me leave without accommodating me. Especially when I mention ADA.

That’s a great idea!

I hate to say it but I am seeing more people wear them in places that don’t mandate them. Omicron you know.

Me too. Even here in Florida where they are not mandated it looks like a majority of people are wearing them in places like grocery stores and other retail outlets. Not so much in restaurants and bars.

Here in New Hampshire about a month ago I observed many (about 90%) were wearing masks mostly the younger. Now it is less than 50% almost all that appear to be over 50 in age not wearing the face diaper. Observation is the local grocery store. It seems the younger crowd is buying into the crap.
-
Oh no maybe I'll catch a cold (Omicron). ::) ::) ::) ::)
-
Around here I see only old people wearing the masks, and doctor office staff and Walmart employees. That’s about it. No young people wearing them but we don’t have young soy drinking pussies around here, all our young people are hard working sensible youth.

Farily good group in church this morning. Saw four masks. A young couple that has always masked, preachers wife and a gentleman that is one of our drummers. He had a bad bout with COVID and I'm sure is protecting himself. Lots of hugging and hand shaking going on. More indication to me that folks are over it.

I agree, even up here in Wisconsin when we haven’t had a mandate in over a year. I went to the grocery store yesterday, and I would guess 20% of the people wore masks. Six months ago it would have been 5% max.
The fear porn on omicron is strong.

Isn’t that stunning? People are fearful when they might pass someone in a grocery store who has covid, but have no problem sitting next to other people for an hour or two, letting people hand their food and drink to them, and have bartenders and cooks and servers all handle what they are going to be ingesting into their bodies.
Thus the irrationality of it all.

Probably afraid of Omicron.BA2 because it is stealth. ::)

Probably depends on where in Fl you are. In my conservative northern county, it's maybe 10% in the grocery store, if that, and that's up recently due to visiting snowbirds who think they're still in a NE shithole.
