Re: Obsessing Over ‘Islamophobia’
“Are you kidding me?! Muslims massacre Jews in the most barbaric and lethal attack since the Holocaust, Jews in the U.S. are reduced to fear, especially on college campuses, and this idiot is worried about Islamophobia? He’s even more demented than I realized. Islam was the reason for the massacre. ISLAM! By the way, I seem to recall that the guys who flew planes into the World Trade Centers were Muslim. I can find no basis for anti-Semitism, but sorry, Joe, given recent world history, I can’t be too hard on an Islamophobe.” —Illinois
Re: The Scapegoating of Derek Chauvin
“A troubled human being wakes up one morning and decides to make it another ‘normal’ day of mischief, including passing a counterfeit $20 bill. That led to a domino effect that ruined countless lives, cost billions in damages across the nation, and ripped the fabric of our endangered republic. What if George Floyd just ‘called in sick’ that morning? Or just decided to live an honest life, starting that morning? Very sad. Very exasperating. America has a troubled subculture that is costing us trillions since LBJ’s ‘Great Society’ passed back in ‘65.” —Wisconsin
“Several years ago I was required to take a college course called 'Diversity.’ It was overseen by a guy who insisted on being addressed as ‘Professor.’ All the other courses were run by people who said we could call them by their first name or by a nickname. I took the nine-week course. It was boring, to say the least. At the end of the course, there was a survey to fill out on what we thought of the course. In the open comments box, I wrote: ‘At the beginning of this course, I was of the mind that diversity was as simple as being understanding, polite, and compassionate. Nothing in this course has done anything to change that opinion.’ The professor gave me a ‘D+’ for the course.” —North Carolina
“First of all, the border has been wide open since Day One of the usurpers seizing power. Does anyone actually believe that Hamas and every other terror group did not also notice this? But more of the issue is that this is all planned. None of it is an act of neglect, ignorance, or even incompetence; it is merely the implementation of the ‘Cloward and Piven Strategy’ being executed in real time to expedite the destruction of our nation and every free nation from within. One cannot ‘Build Back Better’ without first demolishing what exists, down to the very foundation, ours being the Constitution and Bill of Rights. And, sadly, they are dangerously close to completion, enough so that they no longer feel the need to conceal their intent.” —California
“The invasion across our southern border is enough to make a person weep or become very angry. Not only does our chief executive refuse to do his duty and enforce the laws governing our borders, but our elected employees in Congress refuse to hold him accountable for that refusal. The Donald may be an arse, but he at least recognized that our borders need to be protected.” —Florida
Re: Justices Will Hear Biden v. Free Speech
“Those who engage in censorship, or compel others to do it, are generally trying to commit or hide illicit behavior. The same is true for liars. Those who are censoring or lying or doing bad deeds harbor an immoral character. It’s that simple. Biden and his administration, with their lies, obfuscations, and attempts to censor opposing opinions, are the worst in most everyone’s lifetime. They demonstrate the absolute worst moral compass imaginable. They’re even cowardly in that they use proxies to do their dirty deeds. Their election subversion was accomplished via proxies. Karine Jean-Pierre is their liar-in-chief proxy. And Big Tech is their censorship proxy. Biden’s not lacking in leadership; he leads us into the sewer.” —Illinois
“There are many Trump supporters trashing Jenna Ellis, Sydney Powell, and the other lawyer taking a plea deal. What would they do if faced with a 20-year sentence?” —Minnesota
