What honesty are you taking about?
That liberals err towards inclusion and conservatives err towards exclusion.
Really? Then tell me why it's liberals who divide people up into identity groups deserving of different privileges, rule sets, admission standards, job requirements, and so on? Is it conservatives who push for racial quotas? Are conservatives on fighting on the front lines against cultural appropriation?
What liberals mislabel as inclusion is simply exclusion based on identity. Conservatives are inclusive based on ability. Conservatives understand Einstein's axiom, "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid." Liberals would push to enact policy requiring the removal of all trees because fish can't climb and call it equality.
Loose Cannon, you’re better than that. Identity politics has been played by the right/conservatives/republicans for the last 40 years too.
- campaigns beginning in Philadelphia, MS
- religious litmus tests
- “conservative” litmus tests
- gun rights litmus tests
- Real America is flyover country/Rural/Mountain America
- Science vs dumb **** (forget climate change for a second, man and dinosaurs didn’t coexist)
- education vs non education
Thats just a few and even conservatives and Republicans have spoken out about what the party blatantly is now. Or isn’t. The right, not too different than the
far left, seems more interested in branding and name calling. Snowflake? Really? It’s like Luntz hands them a word and everyone MUST say it to make it “a thing”. His “tends to be...” argument is accurate, even if it’s seemingly a little heavy handed for those who would like to regulate the amount of change America should have.
This becomes a circular argument, but ultimately everyone retreats to their corner when there are some obvious wrongs they won’t admit to.
ESPN hired Limbaugh; they knew what he was and what he was going to do. They’d never bring on a Farrakhan into the same role. NEVER. ESPN nearly fired SAS and Korneiser was also suspended (interesting to see him weighing in on Cam Newton). But the “new issue” is Cohn/Hill. Can some see hypocrisy in the two punishments? Yes. Are they different? To me (note the distinction), Yes. Why? Cohn criticized her employer. Whitlock criticized his employer (in addition to colleagues) - the first time. Second time was a hatchet job by I think buzzfeed.
