Board cons approve.

Board cons are fascist-enablers and fascists themselves.

When compelled to put on the uniform, they will.

Then turn around and tell you how progay and allies and whatever, they are.

According to some Republicans, Republicans are “narrow-minded and politically short-sighted.”

Militant ignorance does that to a person.

Back in the late 70s, there was an airman in the news who was gay and fighting to stay in the AF even though the military's policy was not to let gays serve. When my supervisor, actually a good guy, brought this up I caught flak from him because I supported the guy's efforts to allow gays in the military. My supervisor was homophobic and thought the majority of the military people wouldn't want to be around a gay airman and it would weaken the military which is the sentiment of a lot of conservatives today. Nothing I could say to him would change his mind. Fast forward to today, gays openly serve in the military, military readiness hasn't suffered, and most people in the military don't care if you're gay or straight; what they care about is if you can do your job.

James Linsday is just another bloviating, homophobic conservative who praises and supports the military but would be one of the last to ever join. I'll value his opinions the same as I'd value the opinion of toilet paper; IOWs, I'd flush it.

Yes, they label it "military readiness."

In fact, this policy and mentality dates back to segregating the military by race.

It was promoted that Black soldiers were basically cowards and could not be trusted to take on military duties. Also the ridiculous but deadly serious issue of whites answering to Black people in any capacity.

The goal and result was to ensure whites got the best roles and best pay. But the rationale was about "military readiness."

Nothing I could say to him would change his mind. Fast forward to today, gays openly serve in the military, military readiness hasn't suffered, and most people in the military don't care if you're gay or straight; what they care about is if you can do your job.

He himself is in the toilet. All of these cons are.

That RW extremist Tweeter isn't someone nobody has heard of. He's a mainstream deeply networked republican with 307k followers.

Once again, you never defend LGBTQ.

Even if he wanted to (why do I keep giving them the benefit of the doubt?) they cant, MAGA which is GOP now wont allow it.

[Glennfs]

Once again, you never defend LGBTQ.

No this one person who I doubt anyone has ever heard of makes a stupid comment and now he is speaking for all conservatives.

You would never accept that standard for unions or any other left wing group

All conservatives matter.

Fact is, your own post history aligns with the every phase of rightwing attacks on LGBTQs, including the current one. So you can stuff the offended act.

Protect yourselves from cons, especially the white males.

Their behavior today is no different from yesteryears’. Same gripes, same resentments, same voting habits, same legislation, same vigilante MO, and in many cases, the same ol’ people.

Their youth iterations just have the internet and better clothes.

It’s not even people like this public whackodoodle in the OP. It’s people like Glennfs that make Pride even necessary at all.

Him, the people he votes for, the policies he endorses, the propaganda from rightwing outfits he’s allowed to spout around here, then turn around and label us intolerant…our newly-won rights are only a few years old, due to people like him. People like that are the reasons Pride is still necessary after 50+ years.

Watching NBA playoff highlights of Stephen Curry YouTube. Amazing to watch this amazing man play basketball. I think he is the greatest of all time.

I then tune to the Giants game, and it dawns on me ALL of that may very well soon be over by this time next year. All of it.

Or maybe going on Memorial Day picnics or to rock concerts or movies, etc. Everything we take for granted and do for enjoyment all goes away if MAGA takes over because there will be no way to accept that kind of existence. I realize there are worst losses, but this is how I think of it.

My son wants me to go with him to Roger Waters in Seattle this September, we went together last time he was there, and I cant because of my ears. Deaf in one and half hearing in the other and even with protection I could do damage. But I wonder if I will be able to see him and my granddaughter again if I dont go now.

A strategic overview of things that work against Woke Marxism once you understand that it's an infiltrating and parasitic attack on a society.


You need to understand what feeds it, where it's strong, what cuts it down, and what consumes it and hit all of these angles.


Woke Marxism must be fed to operate. It cannot feed itself because it doesn't produce. Therefore, its sources of nourishment have to be cut off. These include funding streams, accumulated resources, and manipulations of your capital for its ends.


Wherever possible, remove funding and public moral/cultural support for Woke Marxist initiatives. Don't find DEI, refuse consultancy shakedowns, refuse to support their initiatives, don't say they have best intentions even when the idiots implementing it for them might.


Take back accumulated resources. This is mostly accomplished by suing them, targeted capital hits like against Disney, etc. Stop donating to universities. Pull kids out of schools. Refuse tainted federal, state, and corporate money. Dig your own wells and stop watering with Woke.

__________


and on and on and on with this mindless commiebaiting. Lol WTF is "watering with Woke"?

Anyway. How many times has this confederate referred to me and others as Marxist and to me as woke (another one of their euphemisims for n-word and niggerlover), when nobody but dumb cons even use that term, anymore.

These people took the hoods and sheets off years ago, and today they’re not hiding their strategies, which are out in broad daylight. Then they glom onto liberal message boards, then call US closed-minded. :problem:

Rightwing extremism is synonymous with the Republican Party. Republican rightwing extremism is mainstream, as evidenced not just by the TX Republican Convention, but by the cons on RFL.

Texas Republican Convention calls Biden win illegitimate and rebukes Cornyn over gun talks - Texas Tribune

The new platform would call for:

• Requiring Texas students “to learn about the humanity of the preborn child,” including teaching that life begins at fertilization and requiring students to listen to live ultrasounds of gestating fetuses.

• Amending the Texas Constitution to remove the Legislature’s power “to regulate the wearing of arms, with a view to prevent crime.”

• Treating homosexuality as “an abnormal lifestyle choice,” language that was not included in the 2018 or 2020 party platforms.

• Deeming gender identity disorder “a genuine and extremely rare mental health condition,” requiring official documents to adhere to “biological gender,” and allowing civil penalties and monetary compensation to “de-transitioners” who have received gender-affirming surgery, which the platform calls a form of medical malpractice.

• Changing the U.S. Constitution to cement the number of Supreme Court justices at nine and repeal the 16th Amendment of 1913, which created the federal income tax.

• Ensuring “freedom to travel” by opposing Biden’s Clean Energy Plan and “California-style, anti-driver policies,” including efforts to turn traffic lanes over for use by pedestrians, cyclists and mass transit.

• Declaring “all businesses and jobs as essential and a fundamental right,” a response to COVID-19 mandates by Texas cities that required customers to wear masks and limited business hours.

• Abolishing the Federal Reserve, the nation’s central bank, and guaranteeing the right to use alternatives to cash, including cryptocurrencies.

Not every far-right proposal was advanced. The party chair, Matt Rinaldi, ruled that a motion to defend the due process rights of those who rioted at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and to “reject the narrative” that the riot was an insurrection was out of order and could not be voted on.

Burning books isn't good enough, banning books from the library isn't good enough.

This fascist is burning library books.

Paul Dorr fined for burning library books - NWestIowa.com

A Sioux County magistrate decided not to throw the book at a 63-year-old Ocheyedan man who burned LGBTQ-themed library books last year in Orange City.

On Tuesday morning, Aug. 6, in Orange City, Magistrate Lisa Mazurek found Paul Robert Dorr guilty of one count of fifth-degree criminal mischief, which is a simple misdemeanor.

On Saturday, Oct. 6, Dorr checked out four LGBTQ-themed books from the Orange City Public Library: “Two Boys Kissing,” “This Day in June,” “Morris Micklewhite and the Tangerine Dress” and “Families, Families, Families.”

Dorr, the director of the Ocheyedan-based Rescue The Perishing religious group, burned the library books on Friday, Oct. 19, during a planned protest and published his actions, which he had filmed and recorded, in a Facebook Live video.

The burning of the library books — which were damaged beyond use — took place during the three-day OC Pride festival in Orange City. Dorr can be seen throwing the books into a burning barrel during the roughly 30-minute-long video.

“You won’t be peddling this one anymore,” Dorr said to the Orange City Public Library in the video — a portion of which was shown during the trial — as he tossed one of the books into the burning barrel. “You should all be ashamed of yourselves and repent.”

After its books were burned, the Orange City Public Library, which previously had faced opposition from community members for putting LGBTQ-themed books on the shelves for checkout, received thousands of dollars in cash contributions and hundreds of donated books from people and organizations across the United States.

The Orange City Police Department charged Dorr with fifth-degree criminal mischief, alleging that he intentionally destroyed someone else’s property. Dorr pleaded not guilty and demanded a jury trial.

“My intent was never criminal,” Dorr said. “My motive was to honor the Triune God in whom my faith resides and to protect the children of Orange City from being seduced into a life of sin and misery. I did it in such a way so as to exercise my freedom of speech and the freedom of my biblical faith.”

These are perverted ideas that are destroying this country.

So this one guy who nobody has probably ever heard of now represents the left.

Why can’t you say that the guy is an asshole and that anyone who agrees with what he said is an asshole?

Because they spread the same propaganda.

[Glennfs]

Why can’t you say that the guy is an asshole and that anyone who agrees with what he said is an asshole?

Because I figured that was already obvious and didnt need saying. But OK that guy is an asshole. So now why don't you say he does not represent the right only his own beliefs.

They kicked God out of schools and welcomed the Drag Queens.

They took down our Flag and replaced it with a rainbow.

They seek to disarm Americans and militarize our Enemies.
