Unlike you on the left, I never pretended not to be to some extent. You guys on the left however, are just too naive and too blind in your worldview to realize how partisan and intolerant you actually are. No one is more partisan and such flat out looney tunes activists as those on the left. You're the ones pretending to uphold tolerance and scream about social justice while being the worse of Totalitarians.

This had been a tactic of the political left since the publication in 1971 of Mr. Alinsky's book "Rules for Radicals". In this case, Rule 12 seems to apply, tho others could be used also.
Quote: "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”
Nope. It doesn't surprise me. Alinsky drafted the blue print for the radical left.
I like Alinsky's rule #4: Make the other side live up to their own book of rules. The radical left can't do that.

Rule #4 is useful to be sure...but using it has never bothered the radical left because the right never combats them. The radical left - fully supported by "the press" (or mass media) can do pretty much whatever it wishes to do.

I believe they apply these two radical rules a great deal as well:
Rule #5: Personal ridicule
Rule #8: Keep the pressure on.

Notice that Alinsky never recommended truth as a combat tactic or strategy. Seems "the press" (regardless of side) found this out during the clintoon administration and has honed it to a fine art.
People don't go to heaven when they die; they're taken to a special room and burned.
