USING THE LEFT’S TACTICS AGAINST THEM : A PERSONAL EXAMPLE

Yesterday the left sent a typical representative to harass the small meeting of conservatives. He came with a camera. He was black. He was young. When he was told that we weren’t going to allow filming, he tried to use a hidden microphone to record the meeting.

So, I went after him using the left’s tactics: I just insulted him as a dishonest scumbag that wasn’t interested in allowing free speech, only speech they and their ilk agreed with. They’re just terrorists bent on disrupting honest debate and the free exchange of ideas. They aren’t there to learn they’re there to intimidate and oppress. That’s what the left does.

But this process is always started by the left, and society degenerates, and rational discourse is lost because of it.

Society is built on restraint. It’s destruction is based upon the loss of it.

Fox News was developed as a reaction to CNN’s left bent. Conservative talking points were a reaction to the left’s use of ‘staying on message’ by repeating mantras rather than asking questions. The conservative think tanks were a reaction to the ownership of the mainstream media by the left. The liberation think tanks, and the Mises institute in particular, were a reaction to the ideological innovations of the communist community organizers.

It’s offensive to conservatives to use these tactics. Until they use them. but personally I find it liberating.

I made the guy leave. There is no point having a recording or a video of someone calling you out on your dishonesty. God knows they don’t want that kind of thing spreading on the internet. I mean, you’re welcome to get into a shouting match with me and I’ll win. I learned from Friedman and Rothbard: never give up, never surrender, never stop. THe left depends upon our distaste for ill manners.

We have to make it good manners to shout down the left and adopt any tactic that they throw at us. There isn’t any other choice.
