Just try espousing any individual sentiment that is even slightly right of center if you're a gay person, woman or minority.

Get back on the progressive plantation!

So we can derive a general conclusion that cultural groups and subgroups have their ways of quashing deviance sometimes. Did you have any further point?

On edit--I see you were reacting to the lumps being given Huck-a-bee a little while back for his 'march Israelis to the door of the oven' turn of phrase. Are you really saying that 'progressives' waxing disapproving of something or other in interpersonal political disagreements is the same as a presidential candidate using an outrageous metaphor that basically calls the current president a Nazi? The one excuses the other?

Public demagoguery and blatant shit-throwing, by a prominent politician, should NOT be excused by anyone at any time, however distressingly common it is becoming these days.

You obviously missed the point. A point which most five year olds would have picked up on but for same strange reason elluded you. That point being that whilst progressives are constantly bemoaning the racism and sexism of conservatives it is they that have a concrete set of preconceived notions as to what an individual's sociopolitical beliefs ought to be based on nothing more than their race or gender. If those preconceived notions are not met progressives can be counted on to respond with all manner of sexist and racist epithets. Sort of like when Chris Matthews called Laura Ingraham a slut because she had the gall to be a woman who didn't agree with his progressive worldview or like when leftists call black people like Clarance Thomas, who don't toe the leftist ideological line, slurs such as uncle tom and oreo cookie.

Hypocrisy is the main component of progressive DNA.

No point in trying to converse with an insult-jockey. If you don't bring respect you don't get it.

Respect went out the window a long time ago. We're in a battle for the future of western civilization.

Alas, you lost that battle when respect went out the window. Civilization means human rights, and those by definition require that all humans be accorded respect and value

There are ways you Trumpers may win, but guess what? Big Man Might Makes Right politics are not Western Civilization, and the future of it will be very murky indeed under such a regime.

Yeh, and Trump has what it takes to save Western civilization.

Did you get out of high school or did middle school civics prevent you from getting any further?
