Identity Politics

[mnmaverick55410]

It doesn't seem like anybody examines the political affiliation of those using race, gender, and class warfare to divide us.

Who is kneeling to the anthem, burning the flag, rioting/violently protesting, attacking police officers/miitary veterans/senior citizens/political opponents, etc.

None of them are Conservative/Republican minorities or Conservative/Republican Women.

A majority of Conservatives/Republicans are Middle Class citizens who want personal and financial responsibility. The Middle Class wants lower taxes and we don't need Democrat celebrities all over the entertainment business and mainstream liberal media to lecture us about politics.   

Being against illegal immigration isn't being against legal immigration.

The twisting of facts by the mainstream liberal media and liberally dominated unions/community organizations/social media giants/globalist corporations, teacher unions and school curriculum in our public schools and universities is stirring up a hornet's nest full of division in the United States and abroad.

You read the newspapers, magazines, watch the local and national news, late night comedy, award shows, listen to Public School Teachers and College Professors etc. and it's all ripping the right while endorsing the left 24/7, 365 days a year. It's nauseating for anyone who thinks differently than they do. They shove their ideology in your face on your TV, in your movies, at concerts, at sporting events, etc.

People who try to talk about this stuff rationally wind-up being censored, because they refuse to tolerate the opinions of anyone who doesn't cater to the liberal agenda with the Open Borders Globalism and anti-Capitalist rheatoric.

America and Israel are both under assault by people who believe in this Socialist thinking.

Remember Stalin (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) and Hitler (National Socialist German Workers Party)

Communism and Fascism are forms of Socialism and both are anti-Capitalist which is why comparing them to a Free Market Capitalist like Trump is ridiculous.

This is quite well put.

I'm hoping there are many others who feel this way.

I hear ya. I'm on quite a few political sites.  One, in particular, is most hateful and nasty to anyone who doesn't agree with their opinion and do nothing but bashing that poor poster.  I, myself, get quite a few bashing(s) when I disagree but one thing I do not do is throw their hate back at them. It only gives them ammunition. I really blew their minds last week with a comment and I got almost 100 hate posts calling me an idiot, nitwit, jerk, and language that should have been censored. I stay calm, cool, and collected, using EVIDENCE to make my point through neutral web sites...yes, there are a few neutral ones left, but they are starting to be censored and banned by places like Twitter and Facebook. I'm not talking about radical right wingers but just general conservatives.  I loved those hate posts because I point out to them how their deflection and name-calling didn't do a thing to make their point.

You have to stay calm and not fall into their trap with name-calling or hate. That blows their minds more than any comment you can make using their tactics.

And it all proves 1 thing.Man cannot successfully govern himself apart from God.

The bible says an answer when mild turns away rage...so good for you if u understand that.And only 1 of a zillion reasons why God wrote it for the benefit of HIS creation.

I am in agreement with most of what you said, but cut back your comments to the two that I am in most agreement with.


I am completely finished with awards shows and the preaching we get from Hollywood and the likes of George Clooney. Where oh where have you gone, Ronald Reagan? And when will Hollywood give us a Gipper 2.0?
I love your music Bruce Springsteen, but I don't want to get a political propaganda lecture when I tune in to hear you sing - my opinion is just as important and valid as yours.
You can really shoot a basketball, LeBron; and you are enjoyable to watch even though I disagree with you on many of your professional choices. But you called me uneducated because I voted my conscience in choosing the lesser of two evils in 2016? Uneducated? Seriously? This coming from you?


As to the other point of rationally speaking people being censored, I find it so true.  If you listen to the liberal media or the sheep being educated in our liberal colleges and universities, you would think that conservative commentator Ben Shapiro was a racist bigot full of hatred and hell bent on genocidal neo-Nazism.  But if you ever stopped to listen to him (truly listen to him as opposed to the exaggerated propaganda being spread about him) you would find one of the most rational, well spoken, soft spoken, logical, intelligent, and reasonable human minds of a generation.


If you've never done it, look up and watch or listen to the Ben Shapiro Sunday Special series. There are a crap ton of YouTube videos of his speaking events and he has a separate daily commentary podcast, both of which get a little more inflammatory (although no less poignant and definitely entertaining).  But to hear him engage in civil and respectful conversation about such a wide range of topics as he covers on the weekly Sunday Conversation is truly worthwhile.
Yet so many try so hard to shut him up by shouting him down.

It has always been identity politics.  How do you think Reagan got elected?  By playing a part that people recognized.

The left is always the ones playing Identity Politics, because they cannot win on substance. They only want seem to want only a Dictator style politics run only by their side...

Who are you thinking of as the left?  There are no leftists in government.  If there were, we wouldn't be bombing other countries, or sending the CIA to interfere in their economies.

Identity politics are dangerous. I'm a gay, 30-something year old male. Who is going to represent me? Lol. I don't need another gay guy to speak for me. If my leader is white/black/green/purple, I want the best man or woman for the job, regardless of identity.

Extremely well put!  Succinct and to the point.


While I fully understand the above quoted part I replaced with "***" and why you stated it - to emphasize your point; my edited quote is all that really needs to be said (but still respect what you said and your personal position in saying it).

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."
LBJ, 1960, on the campaign trail

It's always been identity politics.

Why can't we love one onther and not devide us by politics...

You posted in the bible topic.You should be able to answer your question.

When the apostles asked Jesus how do we pray,Jesus gave them the Lords prayer <Our Father>

There is a line that reads,"Let your kingdom come ON EARTH as it is in heaven.

Gods kingdom <government>is the answer to your question.It should be clear by now after 1000s of yrs of man/satanic rule the world will remain as we see it now until that kingdom gets rid of this type of government.....soon to be.

Jesus said many times his kingdom was NO part of this world and who the actual ruler was <Satan>.

Too complex for this crowd
