They Are Not Never Trump – They Are Never You

Townhall
Kurt Schlichter
Aug. 13, 2018

The recent utterly unsurprising utter capitulation by the Fredocons to the SJW/tech/media campaign to deplatform and silence any right-wing voice who is not trying to sell you a cruise cabin is a symptom of a bigger problem. It’s not a symptom of Trump Derangement Syndrome, though Trump has utterly deranged these pointy-headed geeks. It is a symptom of Conservative, Inc.’s contempt for you.

The dethroned conservagimps are angry with you. Donald Trump is not really the issue. He’s just a convenient target for those these establishment sissies. They truly despise you.

You.

They hate you because you refuse to honor and respect them, to validate their cheesy status within the Beltway hierarchy, and to acknowledge them as your betters. Your pig-headed uppityness has disrupted their scam. The old paradigm, the model of go-along/get-along and feed the crackers out there in America articles about lib outrages to keep them writing checks, no longer cuts it. You’ve stripped them of their status by holding them accountable for their failure to fight for conservatism, and for us.

Sounds like he has a pretty good handle on things regardless of what he's smoking.

He's smoking the likes of Will and Stephens. And touting his book.

I like Kurt most of the time and he does occassionally make a good point (e.g. buy guns and ammo) but it's getting more difficult to get past the middle school bombast to find it.  I expect his next book cover to feature him in a long blonde wig and a lil' black cocktail dress.

Whole lotta grammar and syntax to digest here;
yet Schlichter is essentially on the mark.
The word conservative has become a ping-pong ball particularly
in the media and especially among the yip-yap gang at FOX.
Few if any of them could articulate a conservative principle, even
if their life depended on it.

This is classic (and textbook) cult like manipulation. Very similar to how the left was with Obama. They claimed you didn't oppose Obama, you opposed 'black people' (or whatever). This made followers personalize any opposition to Obama as opposition (or hatred) to them personally. This is the same kind of techniques Scientology uses.

Pretty much explains how I can so easily 'file 13' Party fundraising appeals without so much as opening them.

It's pretty hard to find commentary without sorting through the name-calling any more. Why I no longer watch politics on TV. Too many rocks in my house, and TVs are too expensive.

“Fredocons”

“Conservagimps”

This guy is one of the worst & most annoying writers I’ve ever seen.  He’s another Trump fan overflowing with rage  that his guy won.  And he loads his crap with those dumb, cutesy invented words that he no doubt thinks are the pinnacle of humor.

I don’t even know what the hell a Fredocon is.

Umm Ann Coulter in her normal fashion has turned on Trump and now bashed him.

Better find a different comparison for this babbling idiot.

When An insults you she does it in an intelligent way.

This guy...not so much. Which is probably why he appeals to you so much.

I'll ALWAYS show up on a Schlicter thread.

It's true....when the writer is using unflattering terms to describe behavior hitting too close to the reader, their brain shuts down and cannot accept input because of the anger/distraction.

...works every time.

That's why some of our members on the thread have a 'problem'.    wink777

Go ahead and insult and stalk me.

Merely mentioned Coulter because of her bite....nothing else.

What a pathetic little boy you are.

Well, the following is well-written and exposes the nub of his thesis.  This may very well be the "money quote":

No.  I’m not a shrinking violet.  Nitro I can take, as long as it’s not dumb.  Schlichter is dumb.  Not to mention corny and cheesy.

He tweeted that everybody will read this article.

Lol, DC, anger?  You could see the guy foaming at the mouth as he typed.  That’s why you and some others like him.  You’re mad that Trump won and Schlichter’s type is an outlet.

I suggested some find him irritating.   Thanks for your assistance in proving the point.   :laugh:
