The Rise Of The Age Of Liberal Incivility
Are liberals just uncivilized people by nature, or are they raised that way? One can understand, and society has learned to deal with, the occasional rise of an Adolph Hitler, a Pol Pot, or a Joseph Stalin, but when an advanced nation like the United States, populated with educated, pleasant, decent, law-abiding people suddenly sees a rash of violent, dictatorial individuals from the party of the left, either in charge of a powerful political position or trying to get control of one, the law-abiding citizens can’t help but wonder what has happened to cause this disruption.
Our nation has seen presidents from the past who have tried to pack the Supreme Court, and we’ve seen a president literally pick a public fist fight with a journalist, but until Barack Obama’s administration we’ve never seen a president use the full prosecutorial power of the Department of Justice and the investigative powers of the FBI to undermine a political opponent, as was done to Donald Trump during and following the presidential election of 2016.
And then we learned that there were and still are numerous mini-Obamas populating many of our Democrat-controlled states and cities, as well as the federal government, by ignoring and specifically not enforcing immigrations laws; protecting and sheltering criminal aliens from arrest by the federal government; FBI agents giving a pass to a powerful Democrat who made national secrets available to our enemies via her unsecured email system; FBI investigators plotting to assure a Republican election defeat, or an impeachment if he should become president; a lengthy investigation of the president finds no proof of wrong-doing, but the investigation continues in the hope of finding some unrelated, minor offense that they can pin on him; a humiliated and corrupt FBI executive blames the president for his public exposure and his own illegal acts.
A the disruption reached its zenith when a Democrat governor actually spoke of “war” with the federal government as the Feds try to enforce criminal laws; leftists demonstrate, beat people and burn things when colleges book a conservative to speak to the students.
What did Obama put in the DC Water that has suddenly so-energized and enraged the political left that they are blatantly, openly and proudly breaking laws in their frustration at not getting the presidency in 2016? Is it a matter of assuming they are better than the un-liberal citizens who elected a Republican? Is it a matter of feeling entitled to power and control because they’re good, practicing liberals?
Society expects young men to fight as they grow older, but this phase passes when they reach maturity and they outgrow it. But the Democrat party is producing masses of mature men, and women, who are fighting literally and figuratively against the will of the people, as expressed in the last election, and are making our nation into a lawless dictatorship as they ignore laws and the constitution in their need and quest for power, and to get rid of a president who is outside the Washington swamp and is changing the way America does business, exactly as he promised to do if elected.
Why do liberals only now, after participating as adults and behaving properly in our government for over 200 years, suddenly become so insistent on controlling even the thoughts of the citizens as well as their actions? Barack Obama once said, in defense of his radical left policies, that “elections have consequences”, but there are no liberals I’ve seen lately who will accept the presidency of Donald Trump and work within it to achieve their goals. They have become bomb-throwers and instigators, and it needs to stop. https://www.conservativedailynews.com/2018/04/the-rise-of-the-age-of-liberal-incivility/

There are a multitude of reasons that liberals, moderates, independents, and "apostate republicans" are fighting the Trump regime at every turn:
1. He is a racist....... e.g. would not rent to people of color in NYC and had to be fined
2. He is a cheat.......e.g. the number of lawsuits he has lost for non-payment of debt
3. He is a Russian puppet....... e.g. the Mueller investigation
4. He is a compulsive liar........e.g. the citation of over 2500 proven lies in 14 months
5. He is an incompetent administrator.......e.g. the unprecedented turnover in the white house
6. He is a vindictive sociopath......e.g. follow the tweets, follow DACA
7. He has surrounded himself with felons.......e.g. # of guilty pleas in his own administration
8. He is a part time president....... e.g. his continued involvement in Trump properties
9. He conflates Nazis with legitimate protesters.......e.g. see Charlottesville
I'll leave more comments to others who are as versed in the evils of this administration as I am. You like to call it TDS, I like to call it "Waiting for the Inevitable Trial"
None of your statements have any basis in reality.
Every one is documented.....your heads cannot be shoved that far in the ground that you haven't read the evidence on every one of these points.......you guys can be Trump toadies all you want, but the facts are the facts......prove me wrong on any of them......I can't wait to see evidence to the contrary.
Actually, they all have more than a basis in reality. Keep watching, Trump will be impeached.
Of course, not, in the alternate reality the rightwing created to seal itself off from truth, fact and reason.
True, none of your statements ever do.
Your opinion...I don't agree,
How many more of these attack threads does one person get to post?
Can I create an alternative thread titled? "Are Conservatives insane or are they just too stupid to breathe?"
Or would that be considered an attack?
s/.
Two a day in my case...
Many people don't post two threads a week. I haven't created a thread for almost 2 weeks.
If you only post two threads a day why does it seem that almost one-half of the threads on the tracker were seeded by you? Your strawman fallacy titles have become obvious and boring. If I explain what a strawman fallacy is and how to identify it would you promise to not commit that fallacy again?
This is a strawman explained in video form.
And several more than that by you know who....who fancies himself to be clever and brilliant.
"And several more than that by you know who....who fancies himself to be clever and brilliant."
Every person on the internet then?
So can't Heartland buy you another identity?
Still don't get it. Why am I not surprised?
Greggy is whining about me, as are XX Jefferson and the other right wingers on this thread that are complaining about someone on "the other side".
The other day XX tried to claim that I post 10-12 anti conservative seeds a day. Anyone can look at my seeds and articles and see just how ridiculous that claim is.
Even when I do "attack" conservatives, my seeds are about something , most often about something specific. XX Jefferson has literally posted hundreds of seeds over the past 2 or 3 years that are nothing but very broad based attacks on "liberal" or "progressive" ideology. Many of them simply repeat general themes that his other hundreds of seeds have already covered ad nauseum.
"Conservative" opinion pieces are obsessed with liberal "ideology", far more so than liberal opinion pieces are with "conservative" ideology. Garbage like American Thinker is nothing but one of these broad based whines about liberals after another.
It is nice to see a number of people take all of XX's nonsense to task though.
I have your back and am more than willing to take the heartland institute to task.
I never mentioned you nor have I ever complained about the progressive anti conservatism or anti Trump seeds. The answer to speech is more speech, not content control or trying to limit what others may say on any topic including politics and religion.
I know. There are a lot of impressive progressives on this site now.
I have nothing to do with them except a preference for the way that they think 🤔 on key 🔑 issues of the day.
I agree with that....but if people would just admit that your seeds are boring and more of the same old same old, it wouldn't look like you have 5-6 seeds on the front page.
You get way too much traffic for what you seed. IMO, of course
"Are liberals just uncivilized people by nature, or are they raised that way?"
When did conservatives stop beating their wives?"
"we’ve never seen a president use the full prosecutorial power of the Department of Justice and the investigative powers of the FBI to undermine a political opponent, as was done to Donald Trump during and following the presidential election of 2016."
Now that's some pure conservative bull pucky. What "prosecutorial power" was used during the campaign or election? The fact Trumps campaign was under investigation wasn't even made public till after the election was over. It takes a real tight tin foil hat to believe the garbage coming from conservativedailynews.
"What did Obama put in the DC Water that has suddenly so-energized and enraged the political left that they are blatantly, openly and proudly breaking laws in their frustration at not getting the presidency in 2016?"
Obama didn't put anything in the water, the energy coming from the left is in response to watching a huge march of Trump supporters wielding tiki torches, waving swastikas and confederate flags wearing MAGA hats chanting "Jews will not replace us!".
"Why do liberals only now, after participating as adults and behaving properly in our government for over 200 years, suddenly become so insistent on controlling even the thoughts of the citizens as well as their actions?"
This author must have zero recollection of the last 60 years of American history where liberals and progressives fought for the civil rights and voting rights acts, did away with conservative bans on interracial marriage and gay marriage or when liberals stood up against an unjust war and were shot and killed at Kent State. The "uncivilized people" were the rabid warmongers pulling the trigger, the conservatives using dogs and fire hoses to keep minority children away from their "white" public schools, the conservatives beating blacks with sticks and clubs when they attempted to vote. And the only "lawless dictatorship" we see today is the attempt made by the trump administration to be above the law.
And knocking up their mistresses and pushing them to abort? Why, never!

Donald Trump got 46% support on election day in Nov of '16, and , believe it or not that is his high water mark in popularity. He has not seen 46% in aggregate approval since.
Yet we are supposed to swallow the delusion that he has "the will of the people" behind him.
He’s at 50% today. http://m.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/trump_administration/prez_track_apr02#continue-reading

Stormy said trump was at 50% with her too.
Hooey!
More often than not Rasmussen acts like a porn fluffer for the Republicans than a honest polling company.
Poll averaging is a more honest way of tracking.

Arkansas Hermit is so quiet but when he does say something he makes me do a double take most times.
30% approval is considered a mandate by the GOP, 10% for tea party types, and 1% for the dominionist cults. Subtract 15 points from teapublican numbers and add 10 points to democrat numbers on Rasmussen polls. Romney in a landslide.
A mandate has never been necessary.
Just winning elections.
I'll quote you in about 7 months, and again at 31 months.
And if the Democrats are lucky enough to win back the House, Senate, and WH, then I will simply quote many of the liberal left:
"Just you wait until the next election!"
like I have heard so many times since 2010.
But after the 2016 election he said he DID have a mandate! Then again he also said he had the largest inauguration turnout in history, so......
Seems Obama and Bill won a couple of those apiece.
Bill has won nothing since 2010.
Or did you think he did?
And yes, Obama won twice. Verrrrry good!
Now, how many times since 2010 have the Democrats won back the House or Senate?
Hopefully they will never win back either one. They certainly haven’t done anything to deserve it. This article couldn’t possibly be more spot on and accurate as to who and what they are.
The right has done everything possible to lose it. The Democrats need only to sit back and watch the disaster unfold.
So did Reagan and Bush 43. Trump will as well.
Trump was elected President against all odds and is our President.
Until Trump manages to get his nose over the 50% mark in approval ratings, he has little reason to claim "the people" are behind him. He won on a fluke and by being the biggest continuous liar in American history. Hasn't been a day gone by in the last 33 months (since he started his campaign in '15) that he hasn't embarrassed the shit out of this country.
Not true, there was that day in October that he was golfing and didn't say anything totally stupid, OK at least in the morning.
It doesn't seem like it was against all odds at all. It seems like a certain Russian benefactor predetermined that it would come to pass.
BINGO!
Do tell, what was done to "predetermine" the outcome. Please do be specific.
how did he accomplish this?
Link? You certainly seem to have a weak opinion of the American people and our election laws and grossly over estimate the capabilities of the Russians here. Of course, liberals blaming their self inflicted defeat on the foreign power they were colluding with takes some of the sting out of their own incompetence.
I’d also like to know who these Russian benefactors are and how they achieved whatever was supposedly done to affect the votes of 50 states and DC to alter the results or to persuade enough voters in enough states to change their minds.
I think civility left the room several years ago. Both sides and the middle have always been largely uncivilized and with more and more forums/social media, etc. to vent, the hysteria is growing by leaps and bounds.
While it is disconcerting to me at times, the idea of free speech means just that... free. If it is not illegal, then it is therefore legal.
As for the idea of truth/facts... when was that ever a fixture in American politics? The only time politicians are telling the truth, is when they are dishing dirt on an opponent, with everything else a carefully constructed and massaged lie.
I ain't lying when saying that is a sweet Deere.
My brother rebuilt a couple of antique Alices and I rebuild 60's era muscle cars. Expensive hobbies.
Its a nostalgia thing, as I can distinctly remember raking hay with this tractor. That was a long time ago. It was the only picture I could find of a popper with all the correct markings, front wheel caps, etc. Dad went to the new generation very early on.
Sat on granddads lap for hours on end when he let me steer his old Massey back in the day.
Did that sound weird to anybody else?
I assumed you meant when you were a little tyke, so it was okay. If you were a teenager... then maybe a bit weird.
Even before my teens I was handed the keys to all of the big machines.
I learned to drive on a small tractor and then a beat-up farm pickup will before I was 16.
Why do you want your account deleted? I hope you decide to stay here.
I would say it was the right who has always been largely uncivilized - for almost twenty years or more now.
Of course you would.
