One could consider current events, but also reflect on what Andrew Klavan reveals to be the strategy used to silence criticism and ideas of conservative thinkers (note that this was nearly 2 years ago, fittingly just a few short months following Obama’s election):
A pretty eye-opening piece! Can’t you feel the civility? Well, this masquerade has been going on for quite sometime. So now the new way to encourage conservatives to ‘Shut Up’ is wrapped in the context of ‘civility’. Now of course, this isn’t ‘real’ civility, but rather an illusory meaning that should only apply to us. Actually, neither is the this strategy a new one that exempts liberals.
Let’s take for instance a few choice moments in the context of our current tragedy, like Clinton’s fake crying at Ron Brown’s funeral:
Or the distasteful action of transforming Paul Wellstone’s memorial service into a Democrat political rally:
Mirroring that (actually with more prep, you know, t-shirts and all), Chariot One arrived in Tucson, miracles occurred, eyes were opened, and Wellstone II commenced…yes, the 2012 Democrat presidential campaign began at the AZ memorial in all its disrespectful glory, and the media has proclaimed that Republicans should go ahead and throw in the towel! Actually, I really couldn’t say it any better than this guy:
Despite the never-ending hypocrisy, I feel like I should leave you with something to compare these displays of so-called ‘civility’ to. Here’s a perfect example of an actual solemn and civil address (in the most honest meaning of ‘civility’)…no auditorium, no t-shirts, no cheering...no politics:
UPDATE: Oops! There’s more to those t-shirts…oh no.
