To Spit in Someone's Face is Disgraceful. Unless You're on the Left.

By Rich Kozlovich

On June 30, 2019 an article by Thomas Lifson entitled, "Just days after Eric Trump spat upon by waitress, WaPo publishes op-ed justifying harassment of restaurant customers over politics," saying:

"The Washington Post is all-in on stoking the fire of public harassment of Trump supporters, denying them public accommodations. So much for civility and mutual respect."

The article went on to say:

"That’s the only conclusion to draw from this op-ed (non-paywall version here)  published by the largest newspaper in our nation’s capital, written by Stephanie Wilkinson, the owner of the Red Hen Restaurant that kicked out Sarah Sanders and her family while dining there. The paper proudly tweeted out its contribution to the loss of civility."  (Editor's Note:  That non-paywall version didn't work for me. RK)

The left is constantly spewing out clabber about how conservatives need to be more civil, but in reality, it's the left that lacks civility. The last thing the left wants is for conservatives to treat them the way they treat conservatives.   

Furthermore, they not only lack civility, they lack consistency of thought.

Sarah Sanders, at the Red Hen restaurant, was asked to leave because the owner didn't like President Trump.  The owner claims she has no regrets for asking Sanders to leave, after all, it's her business and she can refuse to serve anyone she pleases, for any reason she pleases. 

Really? 

What if Sanders was black, and the owner didn't want to serve blacks?  Wasn't that resolved as a civil rights issue with the government forcing businesses to accept blacks, and fining them out of business if they didn't comply? But that's different.  That supports leftist narratives. 

If either of these restaurants were in the South and this was done to a black patron by a white wait person, the federal government would have been all over them, and the media would be frothing at the mouth, including the Washington Post.

The upside to this? Once more we see the left for who they are versus who they say they are. Eric Trump refused to press charges against this snotty little creep, but that was a mistake. Not only should he have prosecuted her, he should have sued her.

Many years ago Cleveland had a journalist by the name of Dorothy Fuldheim, who was nationally recognized and who all the women thought was spectacular.

I thought she was a loon. 

Even though I really didn't like her, there was one occasion, while she was in her 80's and speaking publicly, a young man threw a pie in her face. I thought that was absolutely one of the most outrageous things I'd seen in my life, at least up until that point in my life. That had to have been in the 70's. Outrageous behavior is now becoming the norm, not the exception.  

I just couldn't imagine anyone throwing a pie in the face of a woman in her 80's! My reaction? I thought he should have been taken out, tied to a tree and whipped. The fact I didn't think well of Dorothy Fuldheim is immaterial. Some things are just wrong. 

When Robbie Alomar spit in the face of that umpire, he should have been suspended for at least two seasons, and starting with those playoff games.  Alomar claimed the umpire called him some name, and truthfully, I think he did, because the incident was an ongoing provocation by Alomar, which pushed the whole thing beyond professional boundaries. 

As a side bar, while in Cleveland Robbie wasn't like his brother who everyone liked and respected.  According to newspaper reports (after he left), he was poison in the locker room. But, it was amazing to me how everyone wanted to make nice over that.  Personally, I would have suspended him for life.  If he'd been on a real job, he would have been fired....for life!

Spitting in someone's face is a disgusting act, and this person who spit in Eric Trump's face needed to be taught a lesson, a lesson the rest of these creeps need to learn. There has to be negative consequences for negative actions, because some things just aren't right!

Then we have Mad Maxine Waters who thinks it's just fine and dandy for "anti-Trump fanatics to continue protests of administration officials — even when they are engaged in non-governmental activities", saying:

“If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.”

But that's the difference between leftists and conservatives. The left has no absolute moral foundation. Nothing is right, nothing is wrong, only the narrative counts.

And that always has to be based on the latest philosophical flavor of the day. 

To be a leftist is to be irrational, misanthropic and morally defective.  The pillars of leftism are not, "liberty, equality, fraternity".  They are hate, jealously, greed and violence, and there are no boundaries to any of that on the left.

That's history, and that history is incontestable.

Twitter ignores Bette Midler call to ‘hang’ Trump family ‘good and high’

December 1st, 2018 By Kyle Olson

Twitter ignores anti-Semitic rhetoric, and the social platform ignores threats against President Trump and his family, too.  Singer Bette Midler took to Twitter on Friday with an apparent little jingle in which she called for the President’s family to hang “GOOD AND HIGH!...........To Read More.....

NYT Columnist: Let's Face It, All Republicans Are Just Bad People

Matt Vespa Nov 05, 2018

So, after all this talk about dialing down the rhetoric, let’s be clear about something: that’s never, ever going to happen. As long as there is a Democratic Party, it won’t happen. You cannot reason with these people. We said the same thing after the assassination attempt of former Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-AZ). It didn’t take.

 

Why?

 

It’s because Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives, red states and blue states are different. We have different cultural attitudes, different views on patriotism (Democrats hate outward displays of national pride), and DEEP differences on how government should run the country. We disagree on abortion, gun rights, immigration, taxes, and Halloween costumes. ...................But to condemn all of us all as “bad people” because you disagree with us on policy is just another sign that things aren’t going to get better regarding the so-called charged rhetoric.

 

Now, on the flip side, I’m 100 percent okay with this. I like knowing who my enemy is and where they stand. Partisanship cuts through the BS. It allows both sides to unite their bases and weed out the cancers that still yearn for this ‘let’s come together, kumbaya’ return to politics. It’s dead. Gone. And it’s never coming back. It’s also an election year. Take kumbaya and shove it. It’s about winning. It’s always been about winning. ...........To Read More.....

Civility Is Heresy When Leftism is a Religion

By Christopher Roach October 13th, 2018



After a week of victories by Trump and his Republican supporters, the Left has escalated sharply the rhetoric and practice of “resistance.” What once could be dismissed as a mere fringe phenomenon of a “few extremists” now appears to have the blessing and encouragement of the Democratic Party’s top leadership. Whether it manifests as confirmation hearing disruptions, impromptu checkpoints by Antifa in Portland, or an election day bombing plot, it’s clear that violence and incivility are supported by the highest ranks of the political Left.

Despite pleas from weary moderates for more civility, Hillary Clinton—not exactly a fringe figure—had this to say on CNN: “I would love to see us return to civility . . . [But] you cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about. That’s why I believe, if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and/or the Senate, that’s when civility can start again.” ............... The root of the Left’s dalliance with political violence stems from the fact that politics occupies a different place in their mental and spiritual landscape. For the Left, it holds the same place that religion does for most people............. The Left’s religiosity is apparent all the time in ways great and small..........we see the Left’s religiosity in its approach to nonbelievers and critics: They are castigated, cast out, and condemned as heretics.............To Read More....

Civility, Civil War, and the Future of Our Civilization

By Michael Walsh October 13th, 2018

Hillary Clinton, the most vengeful, spiteful loser in the history of American electoral politics, has abandoned the Left’s always deceptive, now evanescent call for “civility.” She insists there can be no civility between the parties until the Democrats are restored to power—and, by extension, the Republicans are vanquished.

“You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about,” she told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour last week.  “That’s why I believe, if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and/or the Senate, that’s when civility can start again. But until then, the only thing that the Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength.”

These are fighting words, and in more ways than one. But first, let’s stop to examine the extraordinary ignorance she evinces here................. What Hillary Clinton and her allies are really calling for is not civility, but submission. Like True Believers everywhere, theirs is a Manichean view of the world in which one side is wholly and manifestly good, the other deplorably and irredeemably evil. There can be no victory but total victory, no matter how long the struggle takes. After all, “there is only the fight.”...............To Read More......

Liberalism: An Intrinsically Uncivil Ideology

Yet Hillary and Holder would insist that they have better manners than Kanye.

George Neumayr October 12, 2018

When Hillary Clinton and Eric Holder occupied positions of power in the federal government, they would often lecture conservatives on the virtues of civility and dialogue. To counter Rush Limbaugh and the power of talk radio in the 1990s, rattled liberals once proposed “civility” boards, recruiting such models of civility as Paul Begala to serve on the “Penn Commission,” an undertaking so stupid it didn’t even last Bill Clinton’s presidency.

In power, liberals peddle self-serving babble about “civility”; out of power — witness Hillary’s recent pitiful interview and Eric Holder’s endorsement of kicking conservatives — they peddle self-serving babble about the need to suspend civility..........Apparently Kanye West is supposed to check with the central office of the Left’s Ministry of Truth before opening his mouth. Anything less is “surreal,” according to the media. What a bunch of totalitarian creeps.

It still doesn’t occur to liberals that the hysteria with which they greet any political dissent from minority communities explains why more and more members of those communities want to get the hell away from the suffocating political correctness of the Democrats..........To Read More....

Donald Trump and the Purveyors of Civility

By Steve McCann August 28, 2018

With the election of Donald Trump as president, the words "civility" and "character" have become among the most overused terms in current political discourse. According to his adversaries, Trump grotesquely lacks these attributes. However, over the past 30 years, the necessity of possessing and living by these traits has been limited to the Republican Party or conservatives in general. The Democrats and the American left are exempt from this requirement.

If Donald Trump had run for president and won as the nominee of the Democratic Party, his lack of character and rampant incivility would not be an issue, and in fact, those mannerisms would be praised as revealing a tenacious and determined personality.

How did this absurd double standard evolve? It began in 1988 with the election of George H.W. Bush. He won not on his own merits, but almost solely because he was the beneficiary of being the vice president during the two terms of Ronald Reagan – in many ways the most successful and popular president of the twentieth century............The time for civility is over until the opposition either is defeated on the field of ideas and the ballot box or begins to behave as a civilized entity............
