One Foot Beyond The Precipice
 

If you review the progressive agenda most of what they do results in overkill. And over reaching ends up in blurring lines of common sense.

These social justice warriors never consider the consequences to a nation for their excesses. Name it civil rights, same sex rights (actually not a right but who is counting) climate change, entitlements, political correctness. Here is another example.

The progressives sought to push through a law termed "hate crimes" solely to protect well their "protected class". Now who wouldn't agree that people should not hate. Personally I disagreed because a crime is a crime and all crime develops from some sort of hate ( ie a person, authority, a bank). So what was the benefit in labeling some crimes as hate and other crimes just as crimes?

Hence the predicted result of over reaching showed its ugly head again and an organization called Black Lives Matter hit the horizons.

You see the perception of the minority community was reinforced with their belief that they are the only targets, so forth and so forth and that only black lives matter and no others.

Essentially what progressives have done by creating "hate crimes" is to punished people not only for what they do but also because of what they think.

So the consequences at minimum can be twofold 1) an unexplained disparity in the sentencing of a hate crime vis a vis the same exact crime not labeled a hate crime and 2) it is a short leap to begin punishing people just for what they think.

A columnist, Heather Mac Donald did an article citing national statistics that refute the biases being pushed by progressives and the harm this misinformation causes the black community.

One can argue the statistics to claim a win quantitatively. However qualitatively the emergence of an organization like Black Lives Matters and the intentional killing of police officers nationally makes the case that a crime by any other name is just a crime and the person despite creed ,color orientation is still a victim and suffers consequences equally.

Good points.

Is anyone really surprised, that so many on the right are against 'hate crime' legislation?

It certainly isn't because they think it's superfluous, it's simply the fact that they feel their white supremacists/KKK/Nazi group friends...shouldn't get additional penalties when caught.

WHY should they? Do BLM or Black Panthers get "additional" punishment?

You REALLY think you're on the right side here? They're trying to SAVE you from genocide...self inflicted genocide. YOU are actively hastening your own races demise.

Diversity IS destroying everything in its wake. WHAT has improved? We're now #25, down from #1 when white men did/ran everything. What do you have to show for diversity?

Guess that reasoning would apply to those misfits who just attacked the WHITE kid with the disability and video taped it for FB so that they could have their 15 minutes of fame? Or should they just get a pass because of THEIR color?

They WILL get a pass...women and minorities...it's ALWAYS someone else's fault...a white man's fault usually. It was the disabled boy's fault for showing the blacks up at school...even a retarded white male can embarrass blacks intellectually.

They will get their pass because they don't want Trump to trample on their hate-filled agendas.

"Essentially what progressives have done by creating "hate crimes" is to punished people not only for what they do but also because of what they think." Wow, who is the esp expert that can do this?

"Diversity IS destroying everything in its wake." Sounds like a statement a nazi would make. The aryan culture, you probably would be in trouble if that was the case

Dear Posters:

The above-stated comments are a prime example of the beginnings for an age of entropy (breakdown, falling apart). A serious person would ask the question as to why progressives , establishment figures (ie powerful people) have conducted such a directed attack of hyperbolic, hate, lies and hasty pronouncements on Trump.

The why is because Trump is about to take power away from the powerful who have done nothing with it but make themselves richer and more powerful. They knew if Trump was elected that he was going to make policy that affected their standard of living and way of life. And people who have their derrieres against the wall lunge and lunging with vicious and dishonest attacks they are doing.

We deplorables who had had enough of the deplorable treatment by these elitist and recognized that Trump was talking to them. Progressives elitist media, etc, so convinced that they continued to fool all of the people all of the time underestimated and were shocked by the presidential outcome.

These powerful people would rather resort to destruction of this nation than maintain the pride of this nation a peaceful transition of administration.

If you will note this populist movement crosses borders and many nations are at the same crossroads as America. France , Great Britain, Germany . France and Germany carrying the heavier load o the refugee problem demanding their governments send them home.

Those on this board that continue their hateful rants contribute to this breakdown and if the breakdown materializes we all come out losers, well not the powerful they always survive.

Sounds like a statement someone with their eyes open would make.

WHAT has improved since diversity? Our national ranking? Education? Neighborhoods? WHAT has diversity made better? I keep asking and nobody can respond.

White people ARE "better" than the dark minorities...EVERYWHERE. Compare Norway or Sweden to Haiti and Somalia...what is the difference? White people vs black people. White people make places BETTER...black people make places worse...ALWAYS. Disagree? Prove it.

The Nazis are the progressives DEMANDING that EVERYONE comply with their orders. I just want to be free...to have the freedom to make my OWN choices.

Good point. AG Lynch was attempting to get legislation on "hate speech" so "hate thought" is not inconceivable.

Hate speech...is ANYTHING that goes against what they think/want. If you don't agree...you're a "hater" and they have no use for you. They'll throw YOU under the bus...when it's the minorities who should be thrown under the bus.

It's not my fault they're not us...it's not a dogs fault it isn't a cat...but it's still NOT a cat...even if you WANT it to be. Blacks/Hispanics are NOT white people, they're not as smart, and no amount of wishful thinking or laws are going to change it. Accept it and live WITH it instead of fighting it.

Disagree? Where IS the "black paradise"? Where ARE blacks better than everyone else? EQUAL to everyone else?

You will soon find that RubiTheCon loves his long-winded diatribes, by which he either plagiarizes or presents something as 'fact'...without any corroborating data/statistics/links. :oops:

He expects everyone to 'just believe' him whenever he's straining his muscles patting himself on the back...and a few of the less bright people often do believe him.

That's OK though, as I personally get a kick out of watching him strive so hard to be relevant...while he's actually exhibiting the definition of a pseudo-intellectual. :D

So there is that entertainment factor. :thumbup:


Urban Dictionary: pseudo-intellectual
