Dan Is Such A Brave Boy

...then Dan says to me,

I said one chance, Marshall.

"One chance and one chance alone, Marshall. Do you agree that neo-nazis and KKK members and their comrades have lost the opportunity to be treated seriously, respectfully or to be met with anything but contempt?"

THAT is the point of the post.

Do you understand that this is the point of the post?

Do you agree with the point of the post?"

I can't put into words the comedic effect of condescension from someone of Dan's questionable character.   The reason for this hubris stems from my original comment after reading his post from Aug.13 called RESIST (yes, it was in caps and bold print, because he's serious, dammit!).  He finishes his post beginning with this line:

"Good and moral people must always stand opposed to oppressors."

...and that was what prompted my initial comment, which reads as follows:

"And that's why I stand firmly opposed to abortionists and those who enable them. The horror and oppression of one group of selfish, anti-science monsters against the most vulnerable and innocent of our kind must be opposed at all costs, and those who stand with the very people who seek to legitimize the practice (the lion's share of the Democratic Party, for example) are heinous for doing so.

"It's like all these conservatives who try to mock those who value tolerance for being intolerant towards some. But who are we being intolerant towards? The intolerant."

This is a lie. You are being intolerant against people who are intolerant of immoral sexual practices and against the support (legal, social, pseudo-religious) of those practices in all its forms.

BTW...do you think you'll ever address intolerance by black groups any time soon, or are you just opposed to intolerance by "white boys"? Just wonderin'."

Dan doesn't get the connection.  So, in his arrogance he condescends and demands an answer to a question I really shouldn't have to answer.  But I did.  He just didn't like it the answer I gave and deleted it.

You see, the problem is that this post of Dan's constitutes the definition of low hanging fruit.  Indeed, the fruit no longer hangs but was lying there on the ground next to where Dan was sitting, rotting half eaten.  He just picked it up and apparently feels just so noble and courageous for saying the obvious.  My goodness, how righteous he is!  HE OPPOSES NAZIS AND THE KKK!!!!  He's a pip!

There's so much wrong with his post and his many inane comments that followed in response to both Craig and myself.  And my initial response provides a few:

1.  Dan is an oppressor himself, and an oppressor of the most vile kind.  He is an abortion supporter, recently claiming (sincerely or for effect---it doesn't matter, really) that he no longer finds abortion to be immoral.  Here's some perspective from a 2013 article.  Dan wants to get all self-righteous about neo-nazis and klansmen while defending that which has killed far more people than all white supremacists in the history of this nation.  He wants to posture himself as among the "good and moral people" of America.  Clearly my initial comment indicates that I clearly do oppose oppressors beyond just the Klan and neo-nazis.

2.  He lied about conservatives being intolerant.  It's what the progressives do...because they don't understand conservatism at all, and because they need to demonize others in order to appear to be the morally superior faction while promoting immorality.  But while those bozos are intolerant of conservatives and Bible-believing Christians, we're intolerant of behaviors that are displeasing to God...as Christians are supposed to be.

3.  Dan takes great joy in referring to the Charlottesville protesters as "white boys".  I've never heard him refer to any of those stoked so highly by BLM rhetoric that they assassinated or attempted to assassinate cops.  I've never seen him reference those perpetrators as "black boys".  What's more, my link referenced three black hate groups.  But Dan chooses to lie and say I'm comparing neo-nazis and the Klan to "black folks".  Obviously he didn't have the integrity to even click on my links.  I was not referencing "black folks".  I was referencing hate groups.  Groups that have been out there for some time, some of which call for the killing of whites and Jews.  Even Bobby Seale, a famous founding member of the original Black Panthers, calls the New Black Panther organization "a black racist hate group."

As if that wasn't enough, we have the shooting of a GOP Congressman by a Bernie Sanders supporter.  Don't recall Dan writing a post to decry the shooter in the foul terms he reserves for white supremacists.   And he gives Antifa and BLM a pass for their violent behavior because their violence is justified in fighting the "white boys".  Except the "Unite The Right" protesters had a permit to be where they were and there is no known evidence I've seen that suggest their intention was to do more than protest the removal of a Robert E. Lee statue.  The other lefties, in greater numbers, chose to confront these people, and some of them came armed as well as did some of the white nationalists. 

As to that, I've been trying to find anything that points to just who began the trouble in Charlottesville that led to the death of Heather Heyer. This LA Times piece was one that I chose because it gave a list of witness testimonies that help to answer that question.  I find it relevant given Dan's choice to believe that it was all the white nationalists.  But there are a couple left-wing testimonies that cite the Antifa people as the true instigators.  And that's important, because actual Americans understand the the freedom to assemble and protest is a right even scumbags have.  Dan believes the Klan lost the right to be treated seriously or with respect.  Dan also has a problem with Scripture as he apparently does with the Constitution.  One isn't required to like what these people represent, but so long as they're peaceably assembled, they have the right to be assembled without other scumbags interfering. 

There are two more points that need to be addressed as regards Dan's idiotic grandstanding:

1.  Bad people are also sometimes susceptible to good ideas.  That doesn't mean that the person with the good idea is seeking to attract support of the bad people.  It also doesn't mean that the person with the good idea needs to tell the bad people to take a hike just so buffoons like Dan aren't confused about the quality of the person with the good idea.

2.  The "alt-right", white nationalists and jerks like the Klan and neo-nazis are NOT "right-wing".  I recently read a piece by someone suggesting conservatives need to reject the term "right-wing", in part because of how many lefty chuckleheads abuse the term to demonize their intellectually superior opponents.  These sorry groups do NOT align with the principles of either constitutional conservatism or the American way/ideals.  They are far more comparable to Dan and his leftist/progressive/socialist/fascist circus of clowns.  Indeed, Dan said the Antifa people aren't nazis.  Well...yes.  They are.  They are two sides of the same worthless coin. 

There's really much more I'd like to say about this nonsensical perspective of Dan's.  It's held by many, even by some on the right.  It's have to wait till next time.
