So many people know and understand who the enemy is, and who is fighting them.  So many people understand now is not the time to get sidetracked by the faux morality and outrage of people with too much free time on their hands.

Ya mean.... people like you and a couple of your sidekicks/minions here, for instance?   :whistle:

I think it's always a time to call out lying and immortality no matter who does it, but I understand some people don't care about such principles anymore as long as it's "their guy" who does it.  That's exactly the hypocrisy I'm talking about......sadly.


Funny .... how the "virtue signaling" .....

as they deem and decide who is good for the forum (and the nation) and who isn't.... from some of the "always Trumpers" here is somehow always A-OK though....even while they demonize anyone else that isn't willing to jump on that Trump Train.... even now.   Double standard much?   Kinda reeks of the liberal left to me.

The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

Yeah... especially then.   And the attempts at censorship of opinions that don't match (in lock-step) theirs.

Don’t feed the troll.  It isn’t worth your time.  It has zero intellectual honesty and is here only to stir up trouble.  It’s best to laugh in its face and treat it as the sorry pathetic creature it truly is.

Most political party hacks and campaign operatives are not worth the time because pushing party and power is all they live for and it is all that matters to them.  They are like dogs chasing cars.

However, they do great damage to the foundations upon which what remains of our liberties rest.  Like the Left, they are at work discarding them as a drag and burden on achieving political power.   I'm more interested about destroying the zeitgeist that preaches that our principles are offensive and irrelevant.  The knee-jerk reactions of contempt and disgust whenever principles and virtues are discussed on this board are a sad testament to understanding why we have arrived at the point of decline we have, and how people like Obama, Pelosi, Reid and the rest of the Left have the hearts and minds of more than half the population.

Sadly we are become a people who view virtues, morality and principles as an offensive negative that needs to be put down and made fun of, so that the replacements they desire can be erected over where they were once rooted.

If we do not fight for them in the arena of ideas, then they are going to be replaced using the power of the state, which will impart it's own ideas of virtue and morality and do so with an iron fist to achieve that conformity that the Left demonstrates that it operates by.

Which is why this 'virtue signaling' meme that began on the Godless Marxist Left, now finds itself being used by the Trump Republicans as often and as insistently as it is in the Democrat Sphere of MSMS blogosphere and commentary social sites like Twitter.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

Ah yes.  Once again we see that morality and principles are to be shamed into silence by Trumplicans who are offended when hypocrisy, malfeasance, criminality and the appearance of evil is pointed out in those in whom they have pledged eternal loyalty.   Having traded their souls, their character and our trust for the coveted prize of political power alone.

Now using liberally, the same tactics of the godless, Statist Left - even to the point of using their same memes. 

Virtue-signaling is the new 'evil' that means: ‘Shut up and don't mention your irrelevant, stupid principles and offensive purist morality - we don't want to hear it’.  To do so is offensive if not criminal in today's brave new world.

And to what end do they apply these same tactics as the leftists?

• Not to shrink government.  No, we cannot have that.  But to instead ostracize those who tell them that immorality, Statism and malfeasance is wrong, no matter who does it.

Instead it is OKAY and GOOD so long as it is their prince and their party that does it. 

• Not to lift the crushing weight of bureaucracy dictating every aspect of our lives off our backs, but to fling the crushing weight of shame upon those who dare speak the truth about those in whom no wrong must be mentioned so as to push party unity. 

• Not to muzzle the behemoth state and shove it back into the constitutional bounds and cage it has been set free from, but rather to muzzle and silence those who stand for the morals, ethics and principles that stand in the way of the political power and agenda.

Their ends are patently no different than the Democrat’s.

The ends are for political power alone, absent principles, morality and character so they can do what they want to do without restraint.  The ends by any means that now expands government into a totalitarian state as long as it is their Ceasar or their Senate controlling the levers of power and money so they can rub the faces of the plebes in it daily.

Truly, they already have their reward. 

What exists now is the politics to beat everyone into submission and silence any opposing thoughts or ideas that threaten power and control and party unity.


Just more evidence that there truly is no difference in either the Democrat or Republican parties.  They want the same exact thing from different ends serving different masters.

^  This!  ^

And because of that ... I'm more and more inclined to tell both "parties" (and their reps & minions right here) to go eff themselves.

@XenaLee  @INVAR

Oh I agree with you both wholeheartedly. If I knew this particular troll IRL, I’d be hard pressed to not slap the stupid out...but just like our resident anti 2A tyrant wannabe...some are just too damn stupid and/or dishonest to be worthy of our time.  If they refuse to be honest brokers in a conversation, they deserve only ridicule and castigation.

So many people no longer care whether their leaders are lying, chiseling, amoral snakes so long as those leaders promise them the sun, moon and stars.  Problem is, these leaders usually don't deliver even half of what they promise.  And more often than not, what these people get is what they never wanted at all.
@Applewood

...amoral snakes"

I saw Trump make a statement about Texas today and Trump's face was very orange and the white around his eyes was very definite - the contrast made me think his face looked like a "snake head".  I wasn't thinking of Trump himself, just that head looked like a snake head with the coloring like that.

Unfortunately, the morals are sliding, but it is everywhere, and not confined to this alone, or to one party or incident.

Way too many people are accepting boorish behavior as normal now, and it isn't only the Trump supporters on this issue.

I wondered what all that muffled thrashing, jerking and kicking at the bars was.  Poor little feller.  He was a strung a tad tight.  Cried all night long the ist night he was there.   You know...In the cell block pool I bet He'd last one more night.  I guess you are natural born world shaker INVAR!
