Who's Identity Politics

The specific connotation comes from conservative thinking. Kind of like political correctness. Political correctness is where conservatives are complaining that it is no longer socially acceptable to be openly crude.

 

Of every poster in this thread you are the one that has been the most identity politics intensive. In many ways you are exhibiting what I was talking about in the OP. If you you sit around with a group of liberals, race is a rather rare as a topic of discussion. Hang out with a group of conservatives, and just the appearance of a non-white person gets them talking.

And, and I know you don't want to hear this, but I don't have to accuse conservatives of racism. As I like to point out; It is really difficult pretending that Republicans aren't racist when so many of them keep reminding me that they are.

 

So you are saying that of all the posters on this thread, I am the one most focused on the actual subject ?......wow....THANKS!. I take that as a compliment indeed!

I always try to stay on topic, which is not always easy on a board where people are constantly trying to change the subject when their argument hits a dead end.

 

Why is it, I wonder, that the only states that are pushing the voter ID silliness are those states that have a history of otherwise suppressing black votes.

Typically the higher the voter turnout, the better Democrats do, the lower the turnout the better Republicans do. Is there any wonder why Republicans like to erect obstacles to voting.

Washington, Oregon, and Colorado have similar mail-in voting systems. We have higher turnouts, as. much as twice of other states. Since enacting these voting systems, which rely on the same signature matching software that banks use, these states have become even more Democratic - in face of the growing red menace that has been muckifying the rest of the country. Alongside this greater Democratness these states have been seeing greater economic outcomes.

If you want muck vote Republican. Look what Republican economic ideology did to Kansas. If you want to live in prosperity and equality vote Democratic.

 

There are conservatives and there are right wingers, one of these groups God forgot to finish.

 

Race card! Everyone drink. Alt Left strikes again

 

For demonstrating that it is conservatives who are the ones most concerned with race, as an issue.

 

Sure we are.

The more you bang your little drum the more you will lose.

Thanks.

 

Republicans, myself included, believe that one should have to identify themselves prior to voting. My belief has nothing to do with the race of the person showing ID.

 

It shows that I stick to the actual topic. The topic was identity politics, and YOU took it in the direction of race, to which I responded with a focused discussion of race in identity politics. In fairness, race is probably the most prominent area where identity politics are practiced. Now you are trying to spin my focus on YOUR topic and direction, and trying to paint me doing so as being racist. The irony is that your actions further support the notion that the left plays identity politics. It would be comical if there weren't so many others like you running around on this board.

 

Well of course you'll jump to violence. It's the latest leftist mantra:

"Stop the hate! Only we are pure enough to identify who the haters are. After the haters are identified, it's important to act. Inflict violence upon them!

We'll label people racist and sexist for you; don't worry there. Just go out and beat them up! Remember, work for peace and justice. Punch the ones we label Nazis and Racists!"

 

If the Democrats can convince you to believe Republicans are bad, evil, racist, whatever, they don't even have to debate the actual issues. They don't have to win the battle of ideas.

 

Ummm. No he clearly did. What the hell are you talking about.

 

You did not answer the question. I don't give a **** about your opinion of right wingers or whatever other bigoted racist view you have. Answer the actual question

 

Wrong as usual. Identity politics is a nasty thing in which nothing truly means but the race or ethnic group to which you belong. To be sure the left has tried to compel us to act as if gays and women are ethnic but this is obviously bogus to any rational thinker.

 

Except no one has actually pointed out how any of my facts are wrong! Just making the allegation that they are wrong is *NOT* showing how they are wrong. Just making an allegation they are wrong *is* the argumentative fallacy of Argument by Dismissal.

 

Everything I post *is* backed up and referenced.

When the only way to refute my assertions is to offer up argumentative fallacies that *is* being a weak-minded moron.

It's the same thing here. You provide not one single fact that I have posted that is wrong. You have not shown how one single fact I have posted is wrong.

You merely resort to the argumentative fallacy of Poisoning the Well hoping to discredit what I post by discrediting me. Attacking the messenger is never anything but an argumentative fallacy.

Why don't you actually *show* where what I have posted is wrong?

 

Sorry. It is the Marxist Democrats that put forth the black community in this nation as victims, unable to control their own destiny and incapable of controlling their lives.

*THAT* is racism. It is seeing an entire people as less than human.

You can't *get* more racist than that! And it *is* no different than how Southern Democrats saw blacks in the 60's.

 

Illinois is more economically productive? Baltimore and Detroit are more economically productive?

Wow! Open your mind!

 

I would just point out that a mirror in the right hands could provide a world of insight to some. Like the above. This is perhaps one of the most racist things I've ever read on this forum. That's saying a lot.

 

A higher percentage of blacks vote in Mississippi than in Massachusetts.

Tell me again which states suppress the black vote?

If you want to talk economic policy then compare KS to IL. Kansas *cut* taxes AND cut spending. Every year they had a balanced budget. IL? they haven't had a budget in three years. KS has a middle of the road bond rating, AA+, and IL is one step above junk bond rating, Baa. S&P says they *will* rate IL as a junk bond if they don't pass a balanced budget this year and take firm steps to shore up their pension funding.

*THAT* is where Democrat policies lead. CT is not far behind and neither is CA, liberal strongholds both.

 

Identity politics isn't about rugged individualism. It's about creating special grievances for tiny groups of people, and character assassinating non-preferred groups and individuals.

And no one does that better than progressives.

 

HAHAHAHA owned

 

Oh? Who was that? Where? Not that I don't trust your characterization of what you read, but I absolutely do not trust your characterization of what you read.

Uh huh. Tell us more over the "Christians and conservatives are the debbil" threads.

No one is more intolerant than leftists.

 

As time rolls on I become more and more convinced that the number of leftist capable of any sort of honest introspection is none to slowly approaching zero
