When competing nannystate empowerment advocacies collide!
In other words, a good way to take away the power of a bully is to learn to adopt the language of a bully — which you are allowed to use while he is not.
— Which, if you think about it, quite perfectly matches up to, say, the Justice Department’s entire racialist worldview, and even more generally, the left’s entire concept of “civility” and “tolerance.”
So they’re really nothing if not consistent — regardless of how surreal their agenda is when expressed inadvertently in a little feel-good 40-second sound bit.
And the left likes to think there’s no such thing as human nature. Ha!
I’ve been on both sides of bullying as a kid. Most people probably have. For example, a common way of handling a school yard bully is to go home and punch your little brother in the head*.
It’s sad to see Sebelius is no more mature than a grade school kid.
*anecdotal, as told by a little brother.
Where are the question-screeners? Where is the teleprompter?
On the bright side, I have to say it’s been a long time since I saw a secretary show that much leg. Mad Men FTW!
“Don’t call people jerks.” “Go ahead and call them jerks.”
Meanwhile the kids, fresh off an ill-conceived ad campaign of not so long ago, tell each other, “That is so gay.”
Jerks? Has Sebelius been to a high school in the last decade or two? The name-calling is a tad bluer today.
What else is really gay? Calling empty place holders “flat earthers”.
“Alpha children wear grey. They work much harder than we do, because they’re so frightfully clever. I’m awfully glad I’m a Beta, because I don’t work so hard. And then we are much better than the Gammas and Deltas. Gammas are stupid. They all wear green, and Delta children wear khaki. Oh no, I don’t want to play with Delta children. And Epsilons are still worse. They’re too stupid to be able to read or write. Besides they wear black, which is such a beastly color. I’m so glad I’m a Beta.”
I like sweasle’s take & graphic:
“Keep a civil tongue in your head, asshole!”
Yes, Stoaty is a boon to humankind.
