Sorry Stu, I read the first four paragraphs and had to stop. No room in my world for the amount of hate this author has for people who disagree with his ideology. This author lets his personal bias against conservatives pollute every sentence he writes.

I’m a conservative. I am appalled at the way the four officers treated George Floyd. If this makes you (or this author) nauseaous, then that’s your problem.
 
Timeline.
Person is victim of police brutality in liberal Democrat run City.
Conservatives express sorrow.
Liberal author becomes nauseated at conservative sorrow.

Does any of this make sense to you?
 
If the “establishment right” had not shown “expressions of remorse” then the story would not have been that makes the author nauseous but look at those heartless SOB’s who don’t even care.

I don’t think that’s what he’s saying. Unless I’ve misread, his nausea seems to come from those conservatives who are willing to say that Mr. Floyd’s killing is somehow the result of collective white guilt, or the nation’s “fatal wound” of racism.

I don’t buy into this, either. I think conservatives should stand for the following.
  1. Whether or not racism was involved, the killing of Floyd was a brutal violation of his civil and individual rights by an agent of the Minneapolis mayor and government.
  2. racism is not systemic in American institutions, but where it occurs, regardless of the race of the perpetrator or the race of the target, it should be condemned, and prosecuted when possible.
  3. there is no such thing as collective guilt. To claim that people are guilty of the crime of an individual because they share the same immutable characteristic (race, gender, ethnicity) is, by definition, bigotry.
  4. the solution to this problem is found in the founding documents of the American experiment: all are created equal, all are endowed with inalienable rights, individual rights take primacy over government power.
  5. identity politics, intersectionality and white supremacy are all, by definition, bigotry, and contrary to the basic truths stated in number 4.

Well, except for the fact he is a curmudgeonly conservative lamenting about the less-conservative falling into the liberal way of thinking… no.
 
LOL 😂 I didn’t even realize this was a conservative writer!
I still find this piece goofy

Exactly. Thanks for summarizing.
 
Yes, I must have.

I am disappointed with so many people caving to the militant left and apologizing for things that they shouldn’t. Latest example is the Joint Chiefs Chairman now saying he shouldn’t have taken a picture with the President in Lafayette Park.

They were walking to a burned out church to show solidarity with that church and their congregants. Protestors refused to leave the park when ordered so they were moved. This should not be controversial, but the leftist media will make anything Trump does controversial.

And it is human nature to want to “fit in”. With the ridiculous media narrative around this, the general has caved in as he tries to fit in.

Well, you misunderstand his remarks. The general identified going to the church as a political act and the armed forces eschew involvement in politics. He said: “My presence in that moment and in that environment created a perception of the military involved in domestic politics.”

Yes, if he believes the sorrow is phony.

It is akin to “You have my thoughts and prayers” when the receivers want action instead.

BTW, I have not read the article nor do I want to.

And he is wrong.

What created that perception is the biased media.

What really happened is senior people in our government, including our military, made an effort to show solidarity with the black congregants of a church burned by rioters.

However, everything that President Trump does/says (and he does say a lot of stupid stuff that lends to being portrayed poorly) is turned into something nefarious by the media, and by hateful people on internet discussion boards.

Then a four star general and the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff is just a leftist tool out to embarrass the president, I presume? Your post is highly unlikely.
 
I respect the General and don’t need to have his words mis-interpreted. Finally some in that dreadful administration are growing backbones.

Nope, not sure where you got that from. Do you work for CNN?
