UPDATED (7/25): Republicans Or Democrats: Who’s More Tiresomely PC?

Conservatism, Democrats, Free Speech, Left-Liberalism And Progressivisim, libertarianism, Logic, Political Correctness, Reason, Republicans

Conservatives habitually engage in this asinine, “No, Democrats are the sexist and racist party blah, blah; we’re the good party, party of Lincoln.” “No, liberals project onto us vices they’re guilty of and we’re free of; they do what they say we do.”

Such group thinkers all.

Any libertarian worth his salt hates this thought-crime policing on both sides. Who cares who’s sexist? Who cares if you have impolitic and impolite thoughts? The more improper thinking is expressed out loud; the more we break down barriers to politically risque thinking erected by both parties. (For instance, what I said in “THE WAR ON TRUMP: The Big Picture for Conservatives, Libertarians & Liberals” was verboten in conservative circles.)

Here Mike Cernovich rejoices, via a retweet, in the GOP nominating members of so-called marginalized identity groups. If you’re all about merit and individualism, not identity, why the hell do you care? Why partake in this idiotic, Democratic dance?

There’s no difference in modus operandi between the parties. Both window dress and virtue signal and accuse each other of not doing these enough.

Another incident sees Cernovich scold the awful Ana Navarro (we have a dossier on her: http://barelyablog.com/?s=Ana+Navarro) for being nasty about Jared Kushner. Why? Navarro is right. Why is Cernovich loving on Kushner?

Kushner looks and sound like a boy in transition.

From my, “What Ivanka Wants, Ivanka Gets”:

The man’s a mouse. … The poor man looks low T—like he might one day go the way of Bruce Jenner, now Caitlyn Jenner. (I love LGBTQ, so long as they come in peace.)

Not Jared’s fault. However, Jared’s bloody bad for the country, as well. But conservatives, being part of one tribe, must defend this nincompoop, rather than rejoice that the boring Ana Navarro is being bad, breaking with political propriety. Next, cons will force Navarro to apologize to the transgender Jared.

UPDATE (7/25): THREAD ON FACEBOOK.

Both these good people (Democrats like Gabbard and Webb) are in my book as must cabinet picks for Trump. The days that I imagined prez had the good sense to follow his promise and ignore the Manhattan La Familia are GONE.

UPDATED: Political Tribes & The Donald Trump Jr. Contretemps

Conservatism, Democrats, Donald Trump, Individualism Vs. Collectivism, Republicans, Russia

I checked out social media before dipping the proverbial toe in the water, this morning. The Right—libertarian, conservative, Republican—is behind Trump, no matter. The Left is against him, no matter what. Tribalists all.

The reaction to Donald Trump Jr. contretemps epitomizes tribalism, if you ask me; but if you’re a tribalist, you won’t ask me.

The silver lining? Maybe we’ll finally be rid of Jared Kushner. Wife Ivanka follows him back to New York, in short order.

Fin.

AND FAT CHANCE.

The Story is Here. If you’re a member of Tribe I, you think it’s a non-story. If you’re a member of Tribe II; you’re into it. It’s your smoking gun.

UPDATE: But there is a truth here, beyond the two tribes’ positions. And the “What about when the Democrats did this or that” won’t cut it as an argument.

The Great Gottfried On Mark Levin, ‘Republican Journalist’

Conservatism, Donald Trump, Neoconservatism, Old Right, Republicans, War

Like his work or not (I love it); in Dr. Paul Gottfried you have a deep, analytical mind. This is one of the reasons “conservatism, Inc.” dislikes Gottfried so. He’s not mediocre.

The feelings are mutual.

An ode to broadcaster Mark Levin, written by David Limbaugh (“Mark Levin’s ‘Rediscovering Americanism'”), elicited this reaction from Gottfried:

I find this stuff nauseating. It’s like we’re dealing with a deep philosophical mind in Levin, a modern Aristotle or Kant. I don’t dislike his political comments but Levin is a Republican journalist–and very little else.

Totally (as Meghan McCain would say).

Didn’t Mark Levin hate Trump when we Deplorables were for him? Now Levin supports the president for reasons we advanced two years ago.

In this soliloquy against Progressivism, on Hannity, Levin “forgot” to mention that progressives believe in Abe Lincoln, The Greatest Centralizer of all times, and SO DOES HE.

The other day, the Drudge news website was shilling for Levin and another broadcaster, Eric Bolling. Both have published new books. And that’s not Fake News?

Do yourself a favor and read all things Gottfried (his latest is “Revisions and Dissents: Essays”).

TWEETS RELATED TO CONSERVATISM ICK:


All wars when waged by a Republican are great.


No criticism allowed of the above.


I supported Trump but why the hell would that stop an honest writer from exposing his follies? A ditto-head could tell you.


Hypocrites all.


Killing while GOP.

LOSING PR Battle: Republicans Still Groveling Following Assassination Attempt

Conservatism, Ethics, Left-Liberalism And Progressivisim, Republicans

Republicans continue to collaborate in the “Problem Solvers Caucus,” following the ATTEMPTED MURDER OF REPUBLICANS, last week, on a baseball field in Alexandria. Well of course.

What deeply stupid losers. Moreover, by not standing their ground, Republicans are betraying principles for popularity.

Fear not, founders Republican Tom Reed (NY-23) and Democrat Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5). You’ll be invited to all the good parties; you’ll get book deals (to write sub-intelligent drivel about so-called non-partisanship); and you’ll be interviewed by the press popinjays.
