Last week, when stickers labeling establishments as “exclusively for white people” went up around Austin, Texas, I quietly figured it had to be a “progressive” false flag.
Why?
Because Bergs Seventh Law (“When a Liberal issues a group defamation or assault on conservatives’ ethics, character, humanity or respect for liberty or the truth, they are at best projecting, and at worst drawing attention away from their own misdeeds”), that’s why.
So – were those “exclusively for white people” stickers a progressive false flag?
Duh…:
[Austin lawyer] Adam Reposa posted the video on YouTube and made a statement on Facebook saying he was trying promote the issue of gentrification in East Austin. (Warning: The video contains explicit language)
“They’re getting pushed out, and pretty quick. This area of town is turning into white’s only,” Reposa said in the clip. “Not by law like it used to be, and everyone’s going to jump on, ‘that’s racist!’ ‘that’s racist!’ Man, this town, the way **** works is racist! And I knew I could just bait all of y’all into being as stupid as you are.”
Reposa went on to blast people for not getting the message.
“You’re just not smart enough to keep up with my argument!”
I started Berg’s Law as a joke, pretty much, back in 2004. But the more I see, the less funny they seem.
Except, of course, is that I still laugh my butt off at “progressives”.
Fron E.J. Dionne’s latest column:
“I’d respect these folks a lot more if they said what they clearly believe: They think more inequality would be good for us.”
I have never, ever heard a conservative say that ‘more inequality would be good for us.’ Never even heard it hinted at. The Dionne column is mess of ad hominem and straw men. What has happened to people on the Left? When did their train leave the rails? Was it the clinton impeachment, the 2000 election, the Iraq War that so many Deomocrat politicians supported?
Your 7th law is sheit, or is it that you missed when Tom Delay said Muslim members of Congress should have to pledge to uphold the Constitution first and should be asked whether they’d uphold some other law.
What I want to ask you and Tom is whether Christian members of Congress should be asked to pledge that they’ll uphold the Constitution over biblical law.
If you can’t see the bigoted, religiously based discrimination this kind of comment reflects, then you’re a blind as your law is wrong. And let’s be clear, that was from Tom Delay, the convicted and disgraced former Republican Majority Leader of the United States House of Representatives. I’m sure that this is just made up liberal malarkey.. oh, no, wait, it’s not.
Disarmingly yours,
Charming
I can’t say that I’d attribute the opinions of someone who hasn’t been a member of Congress for about a decade now as reflecting on people currently in Congress. Moreover I seem to recall that Tom Delay’s “conviction” was overturned on appeal and he was ultimately acquitted of the charges. So this little smear fails on two counts.
Who the heck is this “Tom Delay” you speak of, Pen?
Ugh penis is back
Pen – perhaps you should see if one of those expert neighbors of yours could recommend a book on elementary logic.
Your 7th law is sheit,
Perhaps the word you’re looking for is “Shite?”
or is it that you missed when Tom Delay said Muslim members of Congress should have to pledge to uphold the Constitution first and should be asked whether they’d uphold some other law.
Tom who? You mean from 2005?
And how does that relate to Berg’s Seventh Law?
What I want to ask you and Tom is whether Christian members of Congress should be asked to pledge that they’ll uphold the Constitution over biblical law.
Who cares?
If you can’t see the bigoted, religiously based discrimination this kind of comment reflects, then you’re a blind as your law is wrong.
You’re comparing apples and concrete.
And let’s be clear, that was from Tom Delay, the convicted and disgraced former Republican Majority Leader of the United States House of Representatives.
No, his conviction on the political-show-trial charges was overturned on appeal.
Would you care to try to make an on-topic point?
“What I want to ask you and Tom is whether Christian members of Congress should be asked to pledge that they’ll uphold the Constitution over biblical law”
Maybe they should swear an oath to the Bible when they make this pledge? What the heck is “Biblical Law”, anyhow? It can’t be Leviticus, not if you are a Christian.
In Christianity, religious teaching and secular law are not tightly coupled.
Both Pen and DG occasionally post comments on this blog that seem to originate from some meme the Lefties are passing around. Tom Delay? Really?
Conservatives believe there are such things as Facts which are objective, determinable, reproducable, quantifiable. Facts are things that remain true even when you stop believing in them.
Liberals claim truth is relative, meaning there can be no Facts, only Opinions. In that world, making a false statement of fact with the intent that others be misled is not a Lie, it’s an Opinion, and a useful one, if it helps advance the Narrative. Hence, proclaiming a fraternity gang rape that never happened is a Just and Proud and Moral thing to do. Like pasting up these stickers.
Except it’s really not, and deep down, Liberals know it. So they feel a need to justify the lie, the easiest excuse being “Tom did it, too!” Except he didn’t do it, so that’s using one lie to justify another lie, at which point, disgusted Conservatives quit wasting their time listening to Liberal lies whereupon Liberals congratulate each other for having won the argument.
The old adage “Never try to teach a pig to sing: it wastes your time and annoys the pig” has many applications.
A couple days late, so no one will see this but:
The reason Tom Delay asked that, is that there is this thing called Sharia Law, where the church IS the law. In Sharia law, there is no constitution. In Islam, the church is the government, and the government is the church.
Unless Pen is so radically diverse and inclusive that he actually would welcome living under Sharia law as opposed to our constitutional system. If so, then carry on, nothing to see here.
