A Plea for Civility

[roberth]

Agreed, AT LEAST 40 years behind. This is the 'incrementalism' I tell people about. They have been taking small bites since Teddy and Woodrow but now they are taking MUCH larger bites and it will get more and more prominent now that Marxist-Muslim Obama has convinced roughly half of at least one generation that his way is THE way.

Keep writing, you and I are on the same page.

Incrementalism and the federally controlled education system where they teach...wait for it...socialism and entitlement.

In the 50s, communists and socialists were weeded out and identified. Now they're running the bulk of the media and infiltrating our schools so that they can spread their treasonous poison. Every time I hear about a teacher spreading leftist propaganda to young impressionable students, some pre-adolescent, I want them fired and banned from teaching permanently.

This needs to happen again, unfortunately there are some things standing in the way.

A media that is actively advocating communism under the assumption that they know what is best for the rest of us. A population that has been trained to ignore the truth, trained to avoid educating themselves on the issues of the day, to vote for a living, to praise ignorance and stupidity...I could go on.

I don't want to limit the communists right to free speech but I'd like the opportunity to rebut their lies and nonsense, a public rebuttal that the conservatives rarely get. I do believe we the people retain the right to refuse to hire them to teach our children, write our laws, and lead our nation.

The time to be civil is over. They started a war on guns, and we will finish it in due time.

They started the war on guns, Judeo/Christian beliefs, freedom of speech for those on the Right, war against straight sexual preferences, war against families and many more trespasses against us in the name of "progressive liberalism". I agree; the time to be civil is over.

Leftism, liberalism, socialism, communism, Marxism deserve no civility.

They all deserve extermination.

Agreed.

Fine, communists can have their right to free speech. They can speak that trash all they want on their way to visit the bottom of the Marianas Trench.

They can take their " civility" and fucking choke on it. I will debate with anyone civilly, until you come for my guns. Then you can go fuck yourself

Yep.

You want to take away my 2nd Amendment right, which one of the other amendments can I take away from you?

Of course based on the mentality of many of the people I'm seeing in the Mark Dice videos, they are willing to sign away all their rights.

Passions can get pretty heated in the gun-control debate, and there is some justifiable anger over the erosion of our basic liberties and rights, including the Second Amendment. That said, this "plea for civility" is timely and appropriate in the current environment.


"When once the forms of civility are violated, there remains little hope of return to kindness or decency."

Samuel Johnson


"As citizens we have to be more thoughtful and more educated and more informed. I turn on the TV and I see these grown people screaming at each other, and I think, well, if we don't get our civility back we're in trouble."

Emmylou Harris


“Civility means a great deal more than just being nice to one another. It is complex and encompasses learning how to connect successfully and live well with others, developing thoughtfulness, and fostering effective self-expression and communication. Civility includes courtesy, politeness, mutual respect, fairness, good manners...”

Pier Massimo Forni

Just curious if this thread went in the direction you'd hoped for?

Where'd the OP go?

Perhaps we should all be 'civil' to cancer cells? Or to the splinter in our finger? You know, talk nice to them and 'coexist'...
