There are some basic facts which most dare not mention, let alone discuss. We may not

want them to be truisms, but they sit there like vultures at the fringes of our consciousness.

When, for whatever reason, a group of people openly and repeatedly attempts to destroy you and your efforts to reason with them are rebuffed and laughed at, there are but two alternatives---both of them ugly: you can either respond in kind or perish.

We have often counselled each other to resist the impulse to "go low" when the opposition savages us. We have insisted that our side be "the adults in the room".

Adults acknowledge reality and deal with it.

They don't "reach out" to the barbarians at the gate.

They don't take butter knives to a gunfight and hope for the best.

Let's be adults.

Oh please, nothing about the democrats is adult-like, and "going low" is routine for them.

If that is what the DUchebag really thinks the it is living in a mental delusion and should be institutionalized ASAP.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Did Flatus ever get around in his verbose word salad to what those supposed "basic facts" are?

 :rotf: When have DU-folk not gone "low"? When, since the 1970s has the Democrat Party not gone "low"?

 :rotf: Since when? DU was founded on hatred and easily disproved Party-Line gross lies. I could give a list of examples, but I'm trying to be brief.

 :rotf: When have DUers ever done any of that, acknowledging reality especially?

  • Democracy can survive anything except Democrats
These in my opinion are the basic facts:

You have a penis you are a male
You have a vagina you are female
You have both or neither you are a hermaphrodite
If you don't believe you fit into the above categories you are mentally ill.
There are no such things as rights ie. you don't have a right to anything
No law is written in stone
The science is never settled
There are more exceptions than there are rules
No one has any responsibility for anything that happened before they were born.
All sides cheat and lie, it is what separates us from the animals
The biggest enemy of democracy is Democrats
America is not a democracy
If there is a God then most of humanity is screwed.

For Dim'Rats? Especially when Komrade Kankles probably wanted to just green light Trump for the Klinton Suicide Squad??? That's as close to the "high road" as the DNC has been in decades.

Speaking of going low... and ugly... and also fat...ooops forgot stupid. The complete democrat.

This is from the sage of the View, Joy Bearher:

“She’s playing hard ball like he does,” Behar shrugged. “When they go low, we go lower. That’s the only thing that works with these criminals and fascists who are running the country right now. Sorry, but that’s what works.”

And from the terrorist black racist AG Eric Holder:

"The campaign is over, and the worst has happened. Now, when they go low (and they do so every day), we must go lower. We fight them with everything we've got. Americans love a fighter, so let's give them a fight."

Another gem from the racist black terrorist AG:

"When they go low, we kick them."

Yes you should be proud of your leaders and the history of the democrat party. From fighting a civil war to keep slavery, to the KKK, the Jim Crow laws, voting against the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments and the civil rights legislation, democrats have solidly been slave owners and racist for the party's entire existence.
