Breitbart News: CPAC SOCIAL MEDIA CENSORSHIP PANEL CANCELLED

Wow, unlike some here, I can manage to read a post without reading “puerile name calling” into a post.

My response to “engaging with a style that some find both unnecessarily abrasive and unhelpful” was to associate ‘style’ with the objectives.

CPAC’s style is now – and has been for some time – to stall, delay, and engage in endless blabbing about how to find the right way to control the ‘Right.’ It is a strategy designed to lose.

And it is so obvious – one has sufficient probable cause to ask if the objective of the ACU is to advance the causes of the Left – without being accused of ‘name calling.’

This is also why I stopped bothering with the GOP and sought out other forums for advocacy.

No one in the GOP inner circles around here was interested in ‘tactful’ discussion or ‘discreet’ solutions to any problem other than how to control conservative voices. As if shutting up the folks demanding that the Left stop their War on Us could ever be a ‘solution’ to the problem of the Left.

I finally realized that when I agreed to be ‘tactful’ and ‘discreet’ – it meant that my team – and that’s all the hundreds of victims I represent – lost.

I’m not interested in dignified ways to justify the Left’s crimes. I’m interested in stopping the Left before the next crime occurs. Anyone who thinks otherwise is not helpful.

Not necessarily. Yes, name calling is unwarranted in a civil discussion, and it is often a sign of a weak argument. I love it when trolls respond to my posts with either name-calling, ad hominems, or both. It’s always fun.

However, this forum is a ComBox – not the Roman Senate. Here we espouse our views in an uncensored and unfiltered format. Many of us are simply expressing our frustration and impotence in the fact of blatant, rampant, outrageous abuse of our government, out body politic and our community. We are not preparing a ‘White Paper.’ I would not even have the time for this post – but I’m waiting for bureaucrats for a State Meeting on behalf of my brother (He has Downs.)

We simply cannot expect everyone to meet the standards of formal discourse at all times. And let me hasten to add that some of the regulars here – including moi – have pounded others with names. And in fact, you may notice I have not defended you from the insinuations and profanity hurled at you. This may be taken as condemnation of you, or an endorsement of the other posters, but in fact I take it as neither of those.

I accept posts with profanity, and understand the outrage without condoning it or condemning it. This is because I am NOT a fit judge of others’ posts. I often post my own ‘troll’ remarks condemning ‘Leftists’ – etc. – to express my own emotional outrage.

Also I do not see it as a personal matter. Posts are posts – and are often ambiguous and misunderstood. Getting upset because others are upset is a waste of good energy, and a disturbance of personal serenity – ‘inner peace’ to wit.

Again, I see this an ideal so high as to be worthless. I would defend an ideal higher than that which we can achieve as an aspiration – an objective to give direction without the expectation of its achievement – but policing our ‘tone’ is a hopeless.

And let me hasten to add: If it were achieved … The “Enemy” – to employ the Left’s term for us – will supply the vulgar, inarticulate, uninformed, angry, White Supremacists from Central Casting to fill any space we vacate.

Let me note – I have noticed an incredible increase in racist remarks on right-wing sites I go to – including anti-Gay, and anti-Semitic, and ‘white supremacist’ – over the last ten years. Over the last two years, the number has shot up, and I’ve had to resort to the block feature. While I assume most are ‘legit’ RWNJs, it is by no means obvious that they all are.

I’ve been a RWNJ for almost thirty years – since I was forcibly ejected from a campaign planning meeting for a Democratic State Rep in Alaska – and I can count the number of actual these nut jobs I have met at GOP or Tea Party rallies on one hand. So when I see a troll spewing such vitriol, I am always suspicious.

These types of RWNJs are far more objectionable and dangerous than anyone who is merely upset and resorts to an uncouth remark. So I see no good reason or justice to police the remarks on the ComBox.
