TO HELL WITH CIVILITY

There are those out there on the conservative Republican side who are saying that both sides need to conduct themselves with civility.  While I don't disagree with the idea, that stance implies that we Americans bear some blame for the total breakdown of civilized society we are witnessing, and I totally disagree with that notion.  

In fact, we've been very reserved and somewhat complacent over the past couple of decades, while the obnoxious clamor from the left and the Democrats has been growing continually more obscene and vitriolic.  What is occurring right now in this country is nothing short of domestic terrorism... threatening and intimidating for the sole purpose of scaring us into submission.  Obviously, trying to take the high road and to be polite about it is not the solution.  

The only answer seems to be for us to get right back in their faces.  These terrorist bullies only care about their agendas; they have no concept of the word "civility" and have no intention of learning what the word means.  They don't give a damn whether we like their behavior or not; any attempt on our part to defuse situations or calm things down is being taken by them as a sign of weakness.  

Don't tell me, either, that Peter Fonda's new calls for Kirstjen Nielsen to be stripped naked, pilloried and whipped is not, like Maxine Water's calls for harassing conservatives, a shout for physical assault, battery and violence.  I'm supposed to be civil over that?  

I, for one, will be damned if I am going to cow-tow to a bunch of thugs. Those who say we have to cave in and continue to be civil are advocating for mob rule.
