Re: The LGBTQ+BS Gender-Bender Generation
“Since it is well known that pride goes before the fall, how much longer before this mess FALLS?” —Montana
“Let’s put some historical context on this. The last time it was socially acceptable to castrate boys was when enslaving civilian war captives was common. This was done to weaken them, make them more docile, and provide servants for the harems of the societal elites. The practice was largely abolished in Christianized areas centuries ago (with the aberrant exception of choir boys illegally castrated in Italy during the 16th- to 19th-century period). What evil spirit has infected our land to bring this atrocity here?” —Minnesota
“So the fabricated ‘Alphabet Pride Month’ and ‘Juneteenth’ are in the same month? Is political correctness so rampant these days that it is running over itself?” —Michigan
Re: Why Approved Media Language Matters
“This made me think of the old joke about how to make God laugh (tell Him your plans) because I think this would really give Him a belly laugh: ‘Sex is usually assigned at birth by parents or attendants, sometimes inaccurately.’ Sex is ‘assigned’ depending on the combination of chromosomes, which are not open to interpretation by the Rainbow Mafia or liberals running scared to keep on the good side of their socialist overlords.” —Pennsylvania
Re: Gavin Newsom Wants Your Guns
“The trouble with trying to ban ‘assault weapons’ is this: Who gets to write the definition of an ‘assault weapon’? Most scary-looking guns actually only have the specs of an ordinary hunting rifle. No gun made, bought, or sold in the U.S. can fire more than one bullet per one pull of the trigger. ‘Tommy Guns’ were outlawed in the 1930s. With regard to mass killings, the emphasis for prevention should be on recognizing, isolating, and treating the mentally ill, who in every ‘group kill’ case had numerous red flags.” —Pennsylvania
“Remember too that the voting age was lowered to 18 because of this line in a song: ‘You’re old enough to kill but not for voting, you don’t believe in war but what’s that gun you’re totin’…‘ I was in the Marine Corps in the early 1970s when Florida lowered the drinking age to 18 for the same reason. Bill Clinton blackmailed the states with highway funds and forced a mandatory 21-year-old age limit on alcohol. Therefore, maybe we need to raise the voting age as well as the draft age to 21 also.” —Florida
“New gun laws will NOT stop gun violence. There are already laws on the books that are supposed to stop the madness, but all they do is impose restrictions on law-abiding gun owners. Though not reported, guns save more lives each day than those used by criminals. Newsom wants a constitutional convention, where a new amendment written the way he wants will never get passed and made into law. Too many states would reject it.” —Illinois
“Aside from the laughability of Newsom’s contention of overwhelming support across all lines for so-called commonsense gun safety measures, something struck me. He says his proposed 28th Amendment would leave the 2nd Amendment unchanged. But like many people, especially Democrats, he doesn’t understand 'shall not be infringed.’” —Delaware
Re: FBI Informant: Ukrainian Oligarch Paid Biden Crime Syndicate Millions
“When will Biden’s crime syndicate be indicted and the whole cabal thrown into prison? Oh, wait, they are Democrats. Never mind.” —California
Re: Choking on Canada’s ‘Climate Change’ Smoke
“Maybe, just maybe, God is telling us that He can handle everything just fine if you’ll just leave it to Him, including ‘climate change.’ Who do you think put those fossil fuels in the egg-shell-thin crust of the earth, anyway? And what are they there for if not to be used by mankind? He’s telling us, ‘My earth can handle a few fires that have been part of MY creation for far longer than you’ve been around.’” —Arkansas
“If the Alabama Republicans gerrymandered to draw the congressional districts, they did a poor job. Look at the map of the districts — they all appear to be fairly uniform and compact (probably an Alabama law). I concur with the black justice, Clarence Thomas, who so aptly said, ‘We place States in the impossible position of having to weigh just how much racial sorting is necessary.’” —Florida
