| After Assassination Attempt, Pubs Delude Themselves With Demands For More Civility |

| BLUF: [Daily Caller] Republicans should have been smart enough to know that thinking civility could be restored after an attack on them and playing the better man wasn’t going to earn them any serious goodwill. It certainly didn’t stop left-wing journalists from dumping on their colleague who nearly died from his bullet wound delivered by a progressive. And, more importantly, the sincere, yet unheeded calls for dialing back the rhetoric won’t stop future left-wing violence. To Democrats and liberal journalists, Republicans are still the bad guys -- even when they’re the victims. Maybe it’s because most congressional Republicans wish that they could just focus on fiscal matters and avoid hot-button cultural topics that they hoped everyone could just get along. Tax rates don’t get people fired up like immigration does. But the Left isn’t interested in having a civil discussion with people it sees as an enemy. The members of the Left want to transform this country, and a shooting isn’t going to make them reconsider the tactics and rhetoric they’re using to pursue that goal. |

| #4 The Pubs might ask for more civility. However, the Dems will continue on with their uncivility. After all, the ends justify the means in their playbook--except they have no clue as to where they are going...they are not good at seeing unintended consequences. |

| #2 Immigration acts like a tax. The benefits go to the wealthiest via increased rents and higher land prices also there's a weaker effect on lowered wages for the least market-productive. |
