Our Political Discourse.

[Bruh]

I think you’re still missing my points here, but at this point, I don’t think we’re going to get anywhere. Maybe it’s just trying to discuss this in a digital format, or maybe you’re just purposely being obtuse. Either way, I’m tapping out.

Tapping out means I win. I’m just sayn

I’ve never been called obtuse. That’s a new one. I’ll have to tell my wife when I get home.

OK, your trophy is on the way via FedEx.

well there;s your problem.... . short memory syndrome.... ... i called you obtuse just the other day..... . saturday i think it was..... in this very same thread in fact.... . .... but 5 days can be a long time for some people...... we should put it to a test and see if you remember this conversation tomorrow... ..

I think Ransom’s hunch about Bruh is probably correct. I think he’s just playing games. Either that or he’s actually just stupid!

 

[subllibrm]

... unless of course you’re from Spain.

Which still isn't a race.

You kind of sliced off my sentence and then reposted it out of context.

I think the Oxford comma threw me off. Sorry.

Well, to be fair, you have some extremely looong post

 

[aleshanee]

try again ..... the post i;m talking about was pretty short......... don;t start jumping on board with the lazy cop-out crew here - (who uses the length of my posts as an excuse to avoid reading them) - and start parroting the ignorant statements they make........ you are perfectly capable of making ignorant statements on your own.......

All the appeals to the sacred cows of political correctness has piqued my interest. Can you link me to the Fuentes videos that started it all?

Be prepared to be offended. He doesn't like joos or jeets.

I’d disagree, obviously. He just wants our government to put us the Americans first and stop allowing H1B’s over take certain jobs. You should listen to Trumps latest interview with Laura Ingraham. Trump literally says, our people aren’t capable.

Also I’d say, he wants money out of politics. Our government is captured by these special interests groups lobbying on behalf of foreign governments.

Just stupid. Yeah that’s it.

 

[ALAYMAN]

.... I didn’t grow up with the whole politically correct thing

Me neither.

and to be honest I think it’s tiresome.

Agreed, thicker skin for many folks would be nice.

...My wife’s family is still deep in the IFB 100% and very very politically correct.

I don't get this. How are you defining "politically correct"? My experience with IFBs, and many many examples of online video preaching clips would verify this, that they are the opposite of politically correct, LOL.

To the cult thing. Look, say what you want about Nick, Trump even Drew Brees these men aren’t my family I don’t care.

I don't lose sleep over what other people say either, however, ideas have consequences. And who we promote as examples, "role models" if you will, ought to be people who attain to a a minimum level of civility. That principle is even more enforceable in my opinion because we are Christians, so the bar should be set higher for what we tolerate in the realm of civics and politics.

With Nick and what I like about him is that he preaches America First in all aspects. I don’t know if he’s a racist because I don’t know him personally. I can give two rats about him, generally speaking.

This is where I think you're losing most people. Just because you don't have a personal relationship with people doesn't mean you can't evaluate their ideas by the words that they espouse. The policies that they would promote are not immune from examining the words in which they promote them. It's not just a matter of the offensive nature in which he selects language, but the ideology behind them. The misogyny, bigotry, anti-Semitism, etc. Those character traits of speech, oftentimes for people who are put in places of power and leadership become legalized policies that actually hurt people, and I'm not just talking about words, but policies. It is not "America first" to denigrate women. It is not "America first" to harm its citizens by using language that treats them as a class of people that gets put into ovens like chocolate chip cookies.

The video you posted was rough, I’ll admit. .... tone it down

If he toned it down he'd lose his groupies.

Just stupid. Yeah that’s it..

I don't think you're stupid bro, just a tad bit misguided.

 

[Bruh]

Me neither.

Thanks!

Like I said in other post, I don’t know these people so it’s whatever.

But if my wife thought I was stupid, that would hurt my feelings. But she’s super HOT and extremely SEXY and she doesn’t think I’m stupid

I get it that you may have grown tired of this subject (and the beat down, LOL) and that's why you evaded a few questions, but if you have the time, I'd like to know what you meant about ifbs being politically correct.

Maybe I should’ve said, much more conservative speech. Very formal, very church speech. Very right wing religious republican, the moral majority type.

I love them, good people but I’m very cautious with my speech around them. No slightly off color jokes or comments. Maybe that’s what I meant, no slightly off color anything, whatsoever nothing.

And I’ve learned not to talk politics with them when it does come up, I do my very best not to give my opinion. They are Fox News people and absolutely believe Fox News 100%

They’re great people they really are.

Example of slightly off color jokes

If we are at a get together and someone is running to the store and I say, grab me a 6 pack while you’re out.
They would absolutely frown on that like literally look at me and let me know by their frown that, that wasn’t acceptable.

Okay, that makes sense in how you meant "politically correct", though I would disagree with that definition. Sounds to me like they are just typical Old school Christian conservatives, and as you said Fox Nation people.

And if by six pack, you mean, a six pack of beer, I see why you have trouble with your IFB in-laws,

 

[DrHuk&Duck]

Just stupid. Yeah that’s it.

Maybe “stupid” was a poor choice of words on my part. My apologies. Perhaps “uninformed” would have been more appropriate in this context. My point was, you seem to be a ball of contradictions.
