Vitue signaling hypocrits

Notice over the last couple of years or so thousands of CEOs have quit or been fired. One wonders about how all of the replacements have turned out to be soft and woke. Too woke and soft to have brought a lot of those companies up in the first place. Wonder how many could have been the subject of "Brownstone operations."

Actually that has crossed my mind re. Roberts.

 

[Rightguide]

Actually that has crossed my mind re. Roberts.

Maybe Senator Burr, as well as several others I might suggest.

PS: Judge Sullivan comes to mind.

 

[SpeareChucker]

Actually that has crossed my mind re. Roberts.

I have been saying that for the longest time.

Conservative judges who get on the SCOTUS
quickly run to the Left to earn the respect
of their 'true' peer group once they
no longer have to worry about
elections and political
appointment...

I think that it is one of the unintended consequences
(Broken Windows) that our Founders may not have
properly anticipated with lifetime appointments.



Additionally, as I just pointed out in the other thread,
that St. Louis couple were huge virtue signalers,
but when the mob came, they were not willing
to live with the result of that which
they helped create/enable.

Like the good political leadership of places like Portland and Seattle,
they should have quietly stepped to the side and let their
children throw their tantrum(s); if you spare the rod
and spoil the child, you throw respect to the wind.

...

But the lessons that ought to have followed the election—lessons about the importance of understanding other Americans, the necessity of resisting tribalism, and the centrality of the free exchange of ideas to a democratic society—have not been learned. Instead, a new consensus has emerged in the press, but perhaps especially at this paper: that truth isn’t a process of collective discovery, but an orthodoxy already known to an enlightened few whose job is to inform everyone else.

...

What rules that remain at The Times are applied with extreme selectivity. If a person’s ideology is in keeping with the new orthodoxy, they and their work remain unscrutinized. Everyone else lives in fear of the digital thunderdome. Online venom is excused so long as it is directed at the proper targets.

That second paragraph is something that a lot of us have to endure here on a daily basis.

 

[SpeareChucker]

And one more point about the hypocrisy of the white enablers
(RE: The St. Louie couple)

Like Nancy Pelosi (and so many others including these captains of industry),
they tell us that we need to give up our guns, that we need to change our lives
and we need to live with our poor, our minorities, our downtrodden and oppressed
from the snowflake safety of their offices, gated communities, security details and guns...




... and let's not forget the campus and the professors who have created a climate of fear for conservatives
in order to make themselves feel safe, secure and assured of their free speech.

 

[SpeareChucker]

Here's another hypocrisy of the virtue signalers
(and this is one that happens here) --

they love to proclaim that political discussion should not be on the GB
until it is an issue near and dear to their heart and then they
are more than happy to have a political discussion
(while referring to is as "science") instead of
taking it to the political forum...

What keeps running through my mind re. Roberts is that mysterious illness that struck him not too long before the "penalties are really taxes" ruling.

 

[SpeareChucker]

Or the more recent head injury?

 

[SpeareChucker]

The hypocrisy of the Oikaphobes:


There must be strict separation of Church and State and that includes
before and after school gatherings of Christian prayer groups
upon school property and prayers at sporting events...

"I wish we taught more in our schools about the Islamic faith. I wish we talked about all the great confessional faiths. It's one of the great confessional faiths," Biden said Monday at the “Million Muslim Votes” summit hosted by Emgage Action.​

"The paper of record is, more and more, the record of those living in a distant galaxy, one whose concerns are profoundly removed from the lives of most people. This is a galaxy in which, to choose just a few recent examples, the Soviet space program is lauded for its “diversity”; the doxxing of teenagers in the name of justice is condoned; and the worst caste systems in human history includes the United States alongside Nazi Germany."

Yeah, that whole “ independent judiciary “ thing is a real buzzkill.

Name-calling.


Typical for the woke snowflakes of this world...

The conservative judges you reference do not "run to the Left", but rather run to the judgment of history. This is precisely why they are given lifetime appointments.

In the past, the so-called conservative judges who were appointed to SCOTUS and refused to protect civil rights for partisan reasons have been eviscerated by the judgment of history.

[SpeareChucker]

That's correct and I have said that before,
they eschew the law they used to uphold
in order to influence their biography
in the eyes of history...



That's a flaw in the system;
legal takes a back seat to legacy.
And to do this, they do have to
run from what got them appointed
if they are conservative.
Sotomeyer and Kagan, for example,
were appointed because their legacy
was already being virtue-signaled --
the law would always be a secondary
consideration in their decisions...

^^^Deplorables love conspiracy theories. Perhaps the Maoist libtards infected Roberts with a mysterious illness that caused him change partisan stripes.

You mean vapid conspiracies like Russian Collusion?

Yep, This has been the case with the Supreme Court going back a half century and long before the current politics of the day. They follow the law and also the will of the people.

What Speare and others don't understand (really they just don't want it) is the people of this country do lean to the left on a lot of issues. The Law of the Land flows from the will of the people. And that is left leaning. I can understand why conservatives would be upset as their world continues down a road toward devolving into​ dust.

 

[WillJ8787]

...and there is no better evidence about this truth than conservatives (evangelicals) voting for a guy the really detest to​ get Judges on the Supreme Court. Talk about holding ones nose and running for the toilet bowl.

Sky News Australia is controlled by its parent News Corporation. It has a similar editorial stance to Fox in the USA.

So far as the Uighars are concerned it is clearly obvious that they are being mistreated under an army of occupation within their own country.

However, it is difficult to take the moral high ground when ones own country has made significant military incursions into other peoples countries; Afghanistan and Iraq being the obvious examples.

If the issue is controlling China's behavior, Japan makes an interesting contrast. They have not made a lot of noise about tariffs nor have they publicly chastised the Chinese, except to state clearly their displeasure at Chinese expansionism, especially in the South China sea. Instead they have embarked on a massive subsidies/incentives programme to encourage Japanese companies to quit China and re-locate to 'friendly' nations like Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand Philippines or even Japan.

Xi has expressed a desire to visit Japan and talk Trade and has already complained that Japan is building an economic 'cage.' The Japanese seem to be in no hurry to talk to China but have recently entertained all the other concerned neighbors.

To my mind Japan's approach is smarter than that of the West because it combines diplomatic and trade objectives more effectively. Less talk more action.

And Japan's announcement last week that they are building an advanced fighter aircraft will have the Chinese more than slightly perturbed.

It will be worth keeping an eye on the Japanese and how they handle China.

Not to mention our own cities in a desperate move to secure votes from the likes of people posting in this very thread. Unfortunately, Trump’s usual tactic to change the news cycle isn’t going to work this time.

Hypocrites is a pretty easy word to spell. Just saying.

Then why don't those corporations put their efforts into taking care of business at home instead of sucking up to a criminal cabal?
