It can be difficult to look at the political left and ascertain just what is going on in their minds. Much of what they say they are about involves looking out for the oppressed, leveling the economic playing field, teaching people to be more tolerant of those outside of the norm, and helping children learn and feel more safe, among other things.

If Not for Double Standards, the Left Would Have No Standards at All
It’s been said that, if not for double standards, the Left would have no standards at all. I offer a few examples, in no particular order, for your consideration.
It’s a Horror Show When the Left is in Charge: HOSTAGES!
Well, “Liberals” can’t say you weren’t warned. As of most recent reports, Americans left behind in Afghanistan by Mr. Biden and his Marxist handlers are now officially “HOSTAGES”!
“The Nancy Lanza Test for Gun Control Proposals”
This was forwarded to me by a loyal reader and it really does show one thing: that the anti-gunners on the Left don’t think their activities through to see if their anti-Constitutional Laws actually work and achieve the results they purport to do.
Promoted from the Comments: Bruce Currie – On Abortion; willingly lie to slander Conservatives and make political points
I think that anyone that has read GraniteGrok on even a semi-regular basis knows that I’m against abortion. A word that sums up what really is an anthema: the killing of innocent babies in the womb either by chemical reactions or tearing them limb from limb. And then crow about the bastardization and redefinition of … Read more
Why Does the Left Support AntiSemitism? Isn’t the Left Supposed To Be Anti-Bully?
It perplexes me why the liberal Left tends to support Islamic causes while demeaning Christian and Jewish religions. It can’t be based on any moral/ethical grounds. If anything, Islam is far more stringent and less tolerant on every key liberal issue.
Pelosi threatens to impeach both Trump and Kavanaugh to block new Trump SCOTUS nominee – really?
Well, the night of Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s death I said that it was time to just wish her family condolences and not engage in the politics. I also said that the wargaming would start afterwards. Well, some people didn’t wait at all and pretty much all HE-double-hockey-sticks has broken out all over. I Slack’d Steve … Read more
“What the Heck is Happening? How Did We Get Here?
Once in a while, I come upon a post that says what I would say but says it far better than what I could. This is one of those posts. Many on the Right have been looking around our country going “what the heck is happening? How did we get here?
America’s Own Bogeyman-in-Chief
Although a bogeyman is often thought of as a mythical creature used by adults to frighten children into good behavior, it is sometimes used as a non-specific personification for terror, and in some cases, the Devil. So, let’s look at the following information complied by Judicial Watch (www.judicialwatch.org), and largely confirmed by other outlets such … Read more
Quick Thought: “Family, Faith, Friends, Flag, Firearms” – NH State Rep Wendy Thomas hates those ideas.
Merrimack voters take note – this is how your elected Democrat representatives really think of you! When I read Grokster Ed’s post on NH State Rep Wendy Thomas (D-Merrimack)‘s tweets on the Trump Rally, I wasn’t really surprised at most of them. She a far Left Progressive; expected from her. But one of her pics … Read more
“The shaming gets harsher and harsher until they wear you down and you give up”
by Karyn Maynard |
It started that if you opposed Obama’s policy it wasn’t because you disagreed with him, you were a racist. Then if you supported the police you were a racist.
Are There Things More Dangerous to the Left Than Donald Trump? Yes, All of Us.
Adam Savit has a response to yet another TDS fueled anti-Trump rant. Writing at the Washington Blade he notes how astonished some on the left can be when they discover that not all Trump supporters are knuckle-dragging legions from flyover country.
BlogLine of the Day – Diamond and Silk at CPAC
When an illegal alien comes through that border illegally, the left advocates to help and support them. But when an American baby comes through the birth canal legally, the left is advocating to kill them.” -Diamond and Silk at CPAC 2019 I’m not even sure I can add anything of value to that – it … Read more
Op-Ed: Civil War
Sent in by a loyal reader, emphasis mine.
A few days ago Jack Minzey, head of the Department of Education at Eastern Michigan University as well as a prolific author of numerous books, most of which were on the topic of Education and the Government role therein, sent out the final chapter that was the last of his works. Jack passed away last 8 April 2018.
How do civil wars happen?
Two or more sides disagree on who runs the country. And they can’t settle the question through elections because they don’t even agree that elections are how you decide who’s in charge. That’s the basic issue here. Who decides who runs the country? When you hate each other but accept the election results, you have a country. When you stop accepting
election results, you have a countdown to a civil war.
Notable Quote – David Cole
“The bullies never go after people they can’t break, because to do so would make them look weak and impotent.”
On the outlook and actions of the Left:
But in the real world, there are times when one simply should not beg. And you’ll know those times by the character of your foe. If you’re up against the kind of monster who derives pleasure from hearing people plead for mercy, that’s when you cannot, must not, beg.
Today’s social justice leftists operate very much like that fictional serial killer. Their intended victims are people, sometimes in the public eye, sometimes average folks, who have written or said things that leftists find offensive. And if they mark you as an enemy, they will use every tool in their arsenal to destroy your life. If you have a job, they’ll try to get you fired. If you have a reputation, they’ll try to tarnish it. If you have a business venture, they’ll try to bankrupt it. If you have an online presence, they’ll try to get you banned from all platforms.
And certainly we (collectively and in some cases, individually) at the ‘Grok over the years have been subjected to this virtual “killing” simply for one and only one reason: we simply speak our minds and the Left hates it and looks for any opportunity for “a silencing”.
If You Are Not Following Me On Twitter….
Twitter inspires the opportunity to aggravate the leftists who insist on following conservatives there. Not every witticism will fit on Twitter. Sometimes you have to write a blog and post a link. And then there are the thoughts that are too short to blog and too long to tweet. (Some things can’t be said in under 140 characters.)
