A friendly warning to liberals on this site

Yes, it can happen to you

By: Jack_Savage (Diary)  |  September 3rd, 2008 at 05:41 PM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

The unfettered hate is spewing like water from an untended fire hose. Even puffy little magazines like “Us Weekly” are getting in to the act, at the expense of a woman who, on paper, the left should admire. It must be fun in the untamed wilderness of a complete, full bore propaganda onslaught against those you despise so. But in the midst of your joy, let me offer a friendly warning.


When they come for you, what happens? You think you are immune, on the slashing edge of leftist vitriol. But what if you get pregnant, take a look at the ultrasound, and fall madly in love with the baby growing in your womb? Then, when the amniocentesis comes back, you find that your beloved baby has Down Syndrome? Can you stomach the stares from your friends, and the comments from leftist acquaintances when they say, “You knew? And you had it anyway?” Can you see yourself saying, “His name is Joshua”, then walking back to your apartment in tears? Probably not. It would never happen to a fellow traveler. Then again, ask Eunice Shriver about the children she has given her life to, who are now being looked at as walking medical waste.

Let’s say you marched in the sixties and now work for Obama, will vote for Obama, love Obama and would do anything to ensure he wins the White House. Then, in a faculty meeting, you say something meaningless to you, but offensive to a black colleague. One thing leads to another, and you find yourself suddenly without tenure, without a job, without friends. They would never call me a racist, you say – never. Probably not. It would never happen to a fellow traveler. Then again, ask Bill Clinton what he thinks about the charges of racism leveled by the Obama campaign.

Maybe you are black. You can think for yourself, maybe you are a prominent judge, but oppose an affirmative action referendum on the grounds that it would lead to more dependence and preference due to race – something you have fought against your entire life. You then find yourself the subject of a vicious recall vote, started by the very people who supported you in the beginning. Probably not. It would never happen to a fellow traveler. Or maybe you can ask Clarence Thomas about what happens to a black man who is not a certain kind of black man.

Maybe you work for a prominent politician as a bright young staffer. You are in the office late one night when he asks for a favor you are not prepared to give. Since you want to protect others, you blow the whistle. You then find yourself fired and ostracized, abandoned by the feminists you travel with because he has “done so much for women” and your accusations have hurt that effort.

Beginning to get the picture? Have fun now, because acceptable groups and acceptable people according to the thug left are growing smaller by the day. You are seeing it in action right now, as a successful, bright, loving woman and her teenage child are being hatefully slandered with every breath uttered or word typed by the media. Yeah, she’s a woman, but just not the right type of woman. The angry left bought the Democrat party and the media, they paid for it, they are scorching the earth like never before, and your silence is your support.

Just beware, because someday, as sure as the sun rises, they will come for you.

    I love the picture you painted of the groups of acceptable people growing ever smaller. The liberals are so busy trying to protect everyone from everyone else, they make everyone into “an offender for a word”. No one is safe.

    • cmcanfield32

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_employment

      6.1 can easily be considered full employment.

      • Rottimer

        I have to be honest here, and perhaps I’m mistaken. But I haven’t heard anyone in the MSM or any democrat say that Sarah Palin or Bristol Palin should have aborted their respective children.

        Please correct me if I’m wrong.

        • Rottimer

          By your link (and the generally accepted definition of) full employment is when all the people looking for work can find work.

          Our unemployment number provided by the department of labor only includes those people actively looking for work. Even if you are actively looking for work, after several months of unemployment you are no longer included the percentage. Therefore full employment represents a 0% unemployment rate from the U.S. Dept. of Labor.

          Of course 0% still would not take into account those people in the labor market who became discouraged and stopped looking for work, or those that just haven’t been able to find work after several months.

          So a 6.1% unemployment rate, though low for the vast majority of industrialized nations is still far from full employment.

          • Moe_Lane

            …I gleaned that apparently “full employment” has the same place in macroeconomics that “discussions of the nature of the Trinity” does in Christian theology: in short, an excuse for academics to throw books at each other’s heads. Kind of boring for the rest of us to read, especially since this is actually a thread about the Democrats’ observed tendency to throw inconvenient individuals and factions under the bus.

            So do you think that one of you guys could maybe, you know, write a relevant diary on the subject? Or I think that Francis wrote something on this.

            Moe

            PS: Site moderator, actually. So, yeah, my opinion on this wins pretty much automatically. :)

          • Justin_Case

            as good as your diary.

            The Left in this country despises (and fears) Sarah Palin because of her PROVEN pro-life commitment.

            My firm belief is that she is resented and despised because she recognizes the evil lie of Roe v Wade.

            Watch for leftist women, in an attempt to give credibility to their argument, to come out in fierce opposition because they have swallowed the lie since 1973.

  • redneck_hippie

    I just read this for the second time. Maybe this comment will survive the atmospheric re-entry.

    A great reminder of the saying those that forget the past are doomed to repeat it..as I have told all that I can there will be a suprise come election day for the libs when all their work comes for naught!

        Nothing you have said would convince even the most naive of us here that you are anything but an Obamaton. Go away.

          • PennVoter

            This is a straw man argument that has no basis in reality. I’ve never heard of any woman being criticized, overtly or covertly, for carrying a fetus to term, under any situation. If it happens, it’s as rare as a Republican feminist. Joe Biden is a Catholic but calls himself “pro-choice”, which means the personal choice to carry a fetus to term, or not, within the privacy of one’s family and doctor, and without government intrusion. Biden opposes abortion personally in most cases but believes that is an individual choice that should not be mandated on others by government. Libertarians understand this very well; I don’t see why Republicans don’t.

          • Vegas_Rick

            because you continue to deny that a fetus is human life that deserves the same protections as the rest of us.

            Politics would never be involved in abortion, if there weren’t a minority of people in this country who devalue human life to the point that they feel it can be killed off for mere convenience.

            But, because a portion of our population IS morally depraved, we have to stand up for the unborn who cannot speak for themselves.

          • Darin_H

            Ron Paul is pro-life.

            You is FAIL :)

          • kyle8

            I am a very libertarian person on this blog, more libertarian than I am conservative. But to me, even if I want fewer laws, and more personal rights, it all comes down to is an unborn baby a person deserving protections?

            If so, and at some time during pregnancy it is apparent to me that it is a baby, not a fetus, then it should be protected. Period.

          • Jack_Savage

            First of all, google “abort Down Syndrome baby”, then read for a while.

            Second, Biden’s mushy little weenie position is a joke, and murder is not a libertarian value.

          • The_Gadfly

            the time for the starting point. Easily traceable back to the 1930′s, only the leftists have been writing most of the history books and blaming their excesses on conservatives. Goldberg traces it back through the muckrakers in his book, which moves you to the 19th century.

            But yes, as it comes out, Main Street is getting tired of it.

          • tylerderdent

            Pick up the most recent Sierra club magazine. Yes I am a conservative by the true measure of the word. It has a long list of REPUBLICANS canned by Bush who had been in there positions for years because they did not tow the party line. The reason we have done so poorly in 06 and will not win Congress in 08 is this arrogance. DO you really believe the the right has no skeletons? That we have never done what you accuse the left of? Come on. Your comments prove you are no different than them – just have different beliefs but the same old actions. That is why America is so messed up. You think your are purely right and so do they. You and them are both wrong.

          • Neil_Stevens

            Blam.

            And no I’m not telling how I can tell you’re a fake.

          • ToddH

            Your conservative. Sure. Crawl back underneath your bridge.

  • janis

    A very timely warning and not one I’ve heard elsewhere.

  • iconoclast

    I have a sister born a year after I was. Since infancy, she was severely retarded, often having seizures.

    She died in 2003 at the age of eighteen.

    Her existence constituted a huge burden for my family, because we had to constantly buy her medicine to alleviate her seizures, and because she had to be constantly cared for.

    But when she passed on, there was no sense of relief. Her death has not made life any easier for any of us. In truth, despite all of the things we had to do for her, we actually relied on her much more than she relied on us. She was a piece of heaven that this ungrateful world never deserved.

    So when I see Democrats and “pro-choice” activists railing against someone for not aborting a child for having a similar condition, I cannot help but be angry and sad. Such people truly have no idea what they are talking about.

  • janis

    A very timely warning and not one I’ve heard elsewhere.

  • koertli

    One could almost begin to view the Far Left as a collection of Micro Groups within Micro Groups that at some point begin to eat there own when one in any one group does not ‘perfectly’ fit a Micro Group.

    Let’s hope it starts a Chain reaction that self destructs the Democrat Party.We could call it ‘Democrat Fission’

  • Jack_Savage

    But they just let it go.

  • civil_truth

    The lot falls upon us conservatives to save them from themselves (and ourselves too) as we take the necessary actions and sacrifices to make the world safe for democracy and to keep them in comfort.

    And our reward throughout history is to be reviled by those we deliver from their own folly.

    But that’s the cost of being a adult.

    Reminds me of the poem attributed to Martin Niem?ller:

    When the Nazis came for the communists,
    I remained silent;
    I was not a communist.

    When they locked up the social democrats,
    I remained silent;
    I was not a social democrat.

    When they came for the trade unionists,
    I did not speak out;
    I was not a trade unionist.

    When they came for the Jews,
    I remained silent;
    I wasn’t a Jew.

    When they came for me,
    there was no one left to speak out.

  • Jack_Savage

    And that poem was the genesis of my diary.

    That day is coming for the left soon, and the beginning of the end started this week.

  • Jack_Savage

    And when the Dems grabbed power back in 2006, being adults was simply too much for them.

  • Red2Blue

    Let’s say you’re a member of a party on the verge of oblivion.

    A party that has been commandeered by extreme right-wing religious elements.

    A party that that has run the economy into the ground.

    And the environment.

    And America’s reputation.

    And has made the world a less safe place.

    Yes, they ARE coming for you.

    “They” are American voters.

    And they’re pissed.

  • island_native

    Us Weekly owned by a scumbag named Jann Wenner who has been a disgrace to society and culture for years through a magazine called Rolling Stone. It’s another wolf in sheep’s clothing. It supposed be about one thing, but it has another agenda… one of mediocrity, personal vendetta and total corruption. Beware of these magazines and any others controlled by this jack ass (Men’s Journal is another). They are toxic waste for the mind.

    On a personal aside, as a life long fan of rock music, I have ALWAYS abhorred Rolling Stone. It has sucked for a very, very long time.

    Well done, my friend.

    I’ve read this several times and was just now successful at loggin in. :>(
    I’ve recommended it and would rec it twice if I could.

    The angry left bought the Democrat party and the media, they paid for it, they are scorching the earth like never before, and your silence is your support.

    I couldn’t have said it any better myself.

    Why, I believe we can. Thanks for nailing it hard, with the hammer down. Well spoken, Sir. Well spoken indeed.

  • Jack_Savage

    I am so sorry to report that the Republican Party today is energized nearly as much as during the Reagan years. While you parade freak shows and psychodramas as representative of women in America, we nominate one as Vice President. You know how much she resonated, and the shrews that have held a firm grip on womanhood in America wole up today and realized their time had passed.

    We do have standards, you are correct. When it is time for one of our own to go, they do. When it is time to offer a child forgiveness and support, we do. You cannot grasp or understand that, but the voters do.

    The economy is at full employment, and as much as your party has tried to talk the country into recession, it remains the most vibrant in the world. We will probably never in our lifetimes see the growth and prosperity we have seen in the past eight years. I am much, much better off, and so are my family and friends. We chose to work and take advantage of opportunity instead of waiting for Nancy Pelosi to pay our bills.

    Because of market forces and competition, America’s environment is as clean as any industrialized nation’s on the planet. When the Olympics were held in Salt Lake City, no one got off the plane with a mask on, did they?

    And America’s reputation as the power to call when your country is threatened has only been strengthened. Instead of enabling terrorists by participating in a global popularity contest, George Bush has been killing them and chasing them to the darkest corners of their caves.

    And because of that, Republicans have made the world a safer place.

    The tide has turned.

    Your messiah has no clothes. His empty suit lies at Harvard, along with his only accomplishments.

    Everyone can see.

    And deep in your heart, so can you. No matter how many times you repeat the words you wrote, you know.

    You know.

    Just make sure your credentials are in order when the left wing Purge comes. Your Obama sticker, your gas mask and your little posts on conservative websites will not innoculate you.

    Just a friendly reminder.

  • Jack_Savage

    And what you write is touching, and true. The Good Lord puts everyone on this earth for a reason, and your sister sounds like the kind of person God would have us all to be – innocent, and loving, and kind. She dwells with Him now.

    Again, thanks for writing that.

  • gaonmymind

    In that same vein, I remember a story from a university a little over a decade ago.

    A student wrote an article in the campus paper criticizing a university policy. The article was passionate but not out of line.

    Days later, groups of angry students still protested claiming all sorts of injustices. Maybe there was some merit to these charges, but who knows how the protesters even learned what was in the article

    You see, a university group saw the article and immediately went around to every campus paper stand and took all copies of the paper and destroyed them. They then claimed responsiblity. The student who wrote the article faced expulsion but thankfully was not kicked out. The administration lessened the punishment but didn’t stick up for the student. Nothing happened to those that stole the papers even though the identities were well established.

    The point is those that scream their views the loudest and are first to use their first amendment rights are often the first to try to take those same rights away from others.

  • TOwen

    It’s the Party, always the Party. The only thing that matters is the perpetuation of the system.

  • gaonmymind

    Not that it matters, but the student who wrote the article and faced expulsion was a member of the campus republican coalition. His article railed against a perceived liberal bias in a certain policy at the school. He was angry but did not cross any lines and was within his right to speak freely in the paper. Certainly those protesting had some nasty things to say.

    I say that, but I know there have been similar cases where it’s been the other way around and a conservative was trying to silence a liberal voice.

    Any attack on free speech is against everything this country stands for. I only draw the line if someone is using free speech to specifically try to incite open rebellion or threaten the life of another, which is where law enforcement also draws the line.

  • whoframedrudy

    “Let’s say you’re a member of a party on the verge of oblivion.”

    Remember Watergate? 4 years after the ’76 loss, the Repubs were back to win three straight massive landslides.

    That’s one reason I’m voting for Top Gun. Bush or no Bush, Repubs aren’t going away. I hope McCain can ‘reconstruct’ his party into a legitimate conservative, pro-business party that I can just disagree with all the time, rather than the threat to America it has turned into under Bush.

    I think the Democrats are in danger of oblivion if they lose this election. They’ll be 1-8 since ’68. (Since the Dems disowned the centrist Clintons, they can’t count the 2 Clinton victories.) Even with a win, they’ll still be 2-7; I wouldn’t crow about that.

  • Jack_Savage

    Thanks for your kind words – I hadn’t seen you in a day or two! The economy is so bad and I am so depressed, I am off to enjoy a three day golf trip.

  • Jack_Savage

    “I say that, but I know there have been similar cases where it’s been the other way around and a conservative was trying to silence a liberal voice.”

    But no one can seem to actually cite one of those cases. Intimidation and thuggery are now the hallmark of the thug left, and have been since the 60′s. People are tired of it, and it is finally beginning to backfire.

    Another poster said it, and I wish I remembered who, but the media has gone all-in with Obama, and every last one of them have been exposed for who they really are.

    {Haven’t you forgotten that you’re voting Republican in order to send your kid to school with his dad’s AK-47? – Sheesh, at least stay consistent. – Moe Lane}

    I was like Sarah Palin?s daughter once. Young, pregnant. There were major differences, though.

    My boyfriend left when I told him I was pregnant. He told me he didn?t know what I was going to do, but he was going home to his wife and son?lying SOB. He was 19 and in the Air Force at a nearby Air Force Base. I was 14. I had never heard of Statutory Rape.

    I had the child. A boy. My parents kicked me out of the house, although my mom helped when she could, on the sly.

    My parents kicked me out because my morals were not up to their standards. They were Conservative Republicans.

    I went to my pastor. He said I was immoral and not good enough to darken the doorway of his Evangelical Church. He and the congregation were Conservative and Evangelical Republicans.

    I dropped out of school and waited tables as long as I could. When I was due, I was fired. My boss couldn?t have an unwed mother working for him. I was immoral. He was a Conservative Republican. His wife was a Evangelical Republican. And this, after he got another waitress pregnant and forced her to have an abortion.

    And then it happened. All was forgiven! At the birth of my son, my parents told me to come home, all is forgiven. I can have my old bedroom back and they even built on a small bathroom and kitchenette. I was still immoral but my son was not. He was an innocent. And, he was their first grandchild.

    Three years later, I start dating again. I am very skittish at first. Then I find a man. I am 18. He is 23. Close enough in age in my parents eyes. My parents are very happy.

    My pastor is happy. I know my parents had to pay my way back into our church. I still don?t know how much they paid the pastor. He is Republican.

    Then, I introduce my new boyfriend to my parents. They are not amused. I am back to being immoral.

    They kick me out of the house again. This time, permanently. But, not before informing me they will sue for custody of my son. They win, in court. The judge is a Conservative Republican. I am immoral. I have not seen or spoken with my son for 23 years. My parents told him I had died in a car accident.

    You see, my new boyfriend is African-American/Vietnamese. His father was an American soldier in Vietnam. His mother was Vietnamese. His upbringing in Vietnam was horrible. He grew up on the streets, stealing food and being a pickpocket. His mother took in laundry and cleaned other people?s huts.

    My boyfriend saved enough money to bring his mother and himself to the US. He was going to try to find his father. He did?too late. His father died in a diving accident several years earlier.

    My boyfriend saved enough money to bring his mother and himself to the US. He was going to try to find his father. He did?too late. His father was a cop who died several years earlier trying to stop a rape.

    My boyfriend, his mother and I started going to an Episcopal Church in our town. We were accepted with open arms. Even after I had his child. We married four years later. Some of the people in this church were Republicans. Others were Democrats. They are all Christians. They are there to worship God…not the church, not money, not a political party.

    I was amazed that Republicans and Democrats could worship together.

    If anyone here has had a similar experience or an experience in which you were not good enough for the Republicans, I urge you to vote Democrat. No one will know and no one will ever be able to find out how you voted.

    We may not be good enough for them, but they will never be good enough for anyone?especially themselves.

    So, I am a fallen Republican. I will be voting for Obama in November.

    Is there any reason why I shouldn’t, Jack?

    Might I suggest you read Blackhedd’s Financial Tsunami diary, on the front page. Unemployment now up to 6.1%.

  • Putter

    TODAY is doing to the Palins what you say “Conservative Republicans” did to you 20 years ago. Every Conservative I know would have jailed the father of your first child and rightly viewed you as a victim.

    It’s just fits the leftie caricature of “conservative Republicans” too well. It’s also a false picture in my experience (100% of the time).
