“Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.”
The first job requirement for a respectable conservative is that he treat leftists with respect. He is talking to somebody who identifies with the position that said:
Criminals were merely innocent victims of society; that Stalin’s trials were honest; that all the thousands of Communist spies in America found in KGB files were innocent; that 83% of the time when a citizen tried to hold a gun on a criminal the criminal took the gun and shot him with it; that Castro was no Communist; that all races have equal average IQ and that to indicate otherwise was nothing but Hitlerism; that integration had nothing to do with intermarriage; that socialist economies were efficient, with statistics to prove it;
And so on, ad infinitem.
The fact is that nothing the left does ever WORKS, so every leftist program is based on misstatements.
In order to make a living as a RESPECTABLE conservative, you must treat leftists as honorable people. Each new assertion must be taken very seriously. Then you make your living pointing out that “They’re WRONG this time!!!”
In other words, you cannot be a RESPECTABLE conservative without being an absolute idiot.
Which is a little unfair to drooling idiots. By the fifth time someone tells a drooling idiot that they can put their hand in the fire without hurting it, the idiot will refuse.
As long as the money rolls in, RESPECTABLE conservatives will never refuse. And the sub-idiots who make up their following will pay them to keep it up.

Magnitudes in life matter. And the magnitude of the depredations upon the white race has been and continues to be monstrous.
There is no limit to the errors of those that are lost. The ways of being wrong are multitudinous, while the ways being right are only one.
Yet upon the very monstrousness of our calamity, being lost is untenable.
And upon the one (and only one) way of being right, a reckoning waits.

Some are right from the get-go. A picture is worth a thousand words.

A new poll was released about media trustworthyness and its way off the 1985 mark of 55% believing what they read or hear and see.
Everything is failing, the center will not hold.

Take the Congressman from South Carolina who called Obama a liar during O Great One’s address to Congress. He had to grovel and apologize the next day. His fellow respectables distanced themselves from him rather than use the point he was made to their advantage.
