Everyone hand wringing about how Jones came off as too aggro conveniently forgets the we just tried being reasonable, and we got a big handful of shit for it. It's high time we got in some faces. There IS no reasoning with these people. It doesn't matter how cogent your arguments are, or how reasonable you try to be. They do not CARE. They are True Believers, and nothing is going to sway them.
Is Alex Jones a kook? Pretty much. He believes some weird stuff, but that doesn't hurt anybody. He DOES have the proper distrust of authority that makes him uniquely American, and the courage to say what's on his mind. Thomas Jefferson noted that such a mentality was so important to preserving the nation, that it was worth having to occasionally put down a rebellion in order to preserve. And we sit here and badmouth a guy with the right attitude and wonder why we're getting pwned.
When are folks on our side going to realize that the leftists fight like alley cats, with every dirty trick they can find: they hold nothing back, and if you corner them, they will always have "Because fuck you!" as a holdout. Our conceding them that advantage has steadily eroded our position over the years, to the point that we're on the verge of slipping into communism. They are perfectly comfortable with anger and emotion, but somehow they have deballed us to the point that we think their clearly superior tactics are somehow losing strategies. Damn it, when you're dealing with people who find "Because fuck you!" is a valid argument, you use it back or you get curb stomped just like we were in the election.
The enemy determines the rules of engagement. Any other plan is a handicap that leads to loss after loss. As long as the right acts like a bunch of pussies, decrying and denouncing those on our side who are fed up and let it be known, we're going to keep losing.
The left doesn't HAVE any rules, except the ones they want us to follow. Whatever sins you might lay at Jones's feet, he clearly knows this ain't a debating club, it's a damned fight. We need to realize that, too.
