Liberals, Telling Me To Fuck Myself

 WHEREAS this website is almost always left wing in its content, for the sake of open mindedness and also because I happen to embrace a conservative notion or two, every once in a blue moon an essay appears here which reflects a conservative point of view, or seems to. When that happens, its Katie bar the door, or whatever. Just a day or two ago we published an essay suggesting that if Coney Barrett is confirmed for the Supreme Court, it won't be the end of the world, liberal wise. And in point of fact it won't be. The essay, published just a couple of days ago, pointed out that in the history of the Supreme Court, it has often been the case that a person was appointed and m precisely for the same reason they are today; for being a staunch political conservative, as if that were somehow a qualification. then, after serving on the court for several years, the conservative started to move in the direction of liberalism, toward the center, sometimes actually to the left. Examples include Justice Sutter , Justice Kennedy, and Justice Roberts, the current Chief Justice. There are other examples. Often, conservative justices render dispassionate, reasonable rulings, which happen to reflect a liberal point of view. Recent examples include conservative courts legalizing gay marriage and upholding Obama Care. We suggested that Coney Barrett might be such a justice, might actually end up ruling in favor of liberal positions, by virtue of being intelligent, reasonable, and dispassionate, as she has already promised she will be. Then, the proverbial shit hit the fan. Hell hath no fury like an enraged liberal. I arter know, I are one. The comments came in bundles, indicating that a lot of liberals read this website, which is flattering. The comments themselves were far from flattering By a three to one margin, the most common one was a simple, direct, straight forward "fuck you".Now, never let it be said that I have anything against a good old fashioned F bomb now and then, although there is something to be said for decency and civility. But there are limits. Scrolling down beneath your own Facebook post and seeing F bombs lined up like vertical yellow ducks in a carnival shooting gallery can become a bit tiresome. Would somebody, anybody, who virulently disagrees with me , in the name of sentience, simply say something intelligent, reasonable, cogent? I can  no longer count the times I have admonished my fellow anti-Trumpers to not just call Trump and "idiot" or a "moron", and leave it at that, without offering supporting evidence. I admonish that whenever criticizing Trump, or anyone else,one should state supporting facts, intelligently, and heaven knows that with Trump there are plenty to choose from. One word profane insult make poor arguments. I clearly stated my reasons for my willingness to approve the placement of Amy Coney Barrett on the Supreme Court. At east show enough courtesy and intelligence to give arguments in disagreement with me, something more than eff you. It'll make you look more intelligent, less profane.And besides, anybody who says "screw you" to me is obviously indulging in purely wishful thinking.
