The vast majority of leftist positions and their arguments for those positions are all or almost all emotional in nature. "Don't you care???" or "People will die!" or "They're trying to take us back 200 years and put you in chains!" are just a few examples of some of the completely false, but emotionally charged replies that are common from the Left.

Some of the headlines this week prove my point from this post I made a few weeks ago. I've seen several over-the-top ridiculous takes, but these two I found especially "on point" with my assertion above.

Our country thrives on overreactions without folks really knowing the facts……maybe thrives isn’t the right word 😊

As a public service, I'm posting this article for our IE brethren who are just devastated and hurt by recent events and need a safe space. We care about your mental health and want you to feel safe from ideas and laws you don't agree with. If you need financial assistance to move north, we'll see what we can do to help. A number of ideas for fundraisers have already been bounced around and I feel sure we can make it happen for you.

I have always felt it was low-key racist that people never say they are moving to Mexico....

I'd rather go to Mexico. Better looking women. A chance to climb up the ranks of a cartel. Nice weather.

The women and the tacos!! My dad used to always say the only thing in Canada is ugly women and hockey players.

Yeah, no Canadian women please.
Except for that pairs figure skater that got robbed of the gold 20 years ago due to a french/russian judge controversy. She was kind of cute.

What kind of adult does this?


She's so repulsive.

Evidently her husband got a DUI after he was involved in a traffic accident while driving his Porsche. I'm not sure any 82 year old should be behind the wheel of a car like that. TMZ reported that when asked for his drivers license, he also handed them a business card for his foundation that donates to charitable causes hoping to be given a pass. The police were non-phased.

Statistically I would have hoped Covid would have taken out a few more of these dinosaurs.

I was once pulled over and handed the officer my DL and my state and county work badges when I was a social worker for the state and county corrections departments. That didn’t work either.

Now Pelosi and friends are claiming she was trying to get the congresswoman's girl more exposure! lol

Nancy Pelosi’s spokesperson on Monday accused the media of misrepresenting a video of the House Speaker “pushing” a GOP congresswoman’s young daughter aside — insisting the top Democrat was merely trying to make sure the little girl “wouldn’t be hidden.”

Rep. Mayra Flores, of Texas, leveled the accusation at Pelosi late Sunday after the footage, which was taken at the congresswoman’s swearing-in ceremony last week, was shared on social media by conservative commentators.

“It’s sad to see ‘news outlets’ that know better misrepresent the Speaker’s effort to ensure Rep. Flores’ daughters wouldn’t be hidden behind her in all of the photos of such an important moment for their family,” Pelosi’s deputy chief of staff, Drew Hammill, wrote on Twitter.

Democrats would win a lot more if their leaders weren’t all so detestable.

I'd say that goes for the Republicans too,... honestly the big hang up with Dem leadership for me is they don't believe anything they say, it's all a power play or manipulation tactic. I think the Republican leadership is more honest with their actual intent, they just happen to be largely a holes and d bags.

I try not to flip flop because if I pull too many of both parties primary ballots I get on both mailing lists when they pull their data. No thank you.

Interesting.

As with all data and statistics…….only as accurate as the information that is accurately collected and accurately recorded. Data and statistics can always be “manipulated” to show a particular point of view so IMO, they ALWAYS have to viewed with a dose of cynicism.
