So how is pointing out that the health of some will be irrevocably harmed as a result of the coronavirus vaccine a greater moral outrage than these pharmaceutical commercials that essentially say "Take this pill to prevent your hair turning gray. But by the way, one of the potential side effects is death by liver failure." At least with that medication you are given a choice without any potential of losing your job or freedom of movement for deciding not to take it. Apparently "science" no longer means the elucidation of all the facts irrespective of whether or not one likes them but rather the blind propagandistic endorsement of a predetermined policy and even religious agenda.
If there are riots over the nomination of the replacement of Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court, that probably means Democratic Party bigwigs are likely behind the upheaval. Antifa and Black Lives canon fodder don’t seem bright enough to even name a Supreme Court justice.
The friendship between Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Antonin Scalia is being celebrated as ideal, even by conservatives. So apparently the lives of the unborn aren’t that big of a deal after all. She was more than someone that might have had an abortion in the past. Rather she has been one of the procedure’s foremost advocates. So just how chummy should the town rabbi get with the grand wizard of the local chapter of the Klan?
If we are really going to view the unborn as actual human beings, given the accolades extended to Justice Ginsburg even by a variety of prominent conservatives does that mean that from now on that whenever a prominent terrorist passes all that can be said about them is a favorable assessment of their tactical prowess and media acumen?
Media tolerancemongers are apoplectic that President Trump complimented a primarily Caucasian crowd in Minnesota for their good genes. And how is that any worse than these minority propagandists such as Al Sharpton that have to constantly remind viewers with perfectly acceptable visual acuity what color or ethnic extraction that they happen to be?
Will public commemorations of Ruth Bader Ginsburg be condemned as Coronavirus superspreader events like the Sturgis motorcycle festival or Trump campaign rallies?
Ironic. Apparently it is acceptable for Ruth Bader Ginsburg to have advocated lowering the age of consent to 12 but an outrage for Roy Moore as a 30 year old to have gone out on a date with a 16 year old despite that being the age of consent in that particular jurisdiction at the time and there being no evidence that the couple engaged in carnal liberties.
Does Yahoo News shocked over Trump’s alleged failure to condemn “White supremacists and the militia” (two distinct movements by the way with probably less overlap in terms of membership than Antifa and Black Lives Matter) intend to react with as much dismay at Biden’s dismissal of Antifa as a mere idea? After all, “White supremacy” is also just an idea rather than a group or organization over which we are apparently obligated to work ourselves up into a froth regarding the pervasive threat the mindset is claimed to pose. Interestingly, Biden demands that the Proud Boys stand down when they have not been the ones illegitimately destroying and seizing property. If anything, it is the tendency of that movement to provide a sense of order when established law enforcement fails to do so. So if Antifa or Black Lives Matter were to besiege the White House during the Biden regime, would he then call upon the Secret Service to stand down?
The elites jacked out of shape at the existence of the Proud Boys are the same ones that have no qualms about hiring their own private security details that in decades and generations past used to be referred to as mercenaries.
To be consistent, shouldn't those opposed to the existence of the Proud Boys be as outraged at the existence of the Guardian Angels?
So if the Proud Boys are to be condemned for vigorously responding to the destruction of property at the hands of Antifa and Black Lives Matter instead of passively waiting for law enforcement, to be logically consistent, a woman should be criticized if she physically repulses the unwanted advances of her rapist.
Granted, the Proud Boys are less than ideal in terms of there beliefs such as tattooing. However, there aren't exactly any explicitly Christian organizations stepping forward to physically defend against the destruction of property. From what I've researched the past several months, many such as the Gospel Coalition and certain elites of the Southern Baptist Convention turn a blind eye to the pillaging of the Antifa/BLM insurgents.
Destructive violence grips America’s cities. One of the few groups courageous enough to respond is a movement known as the Proud Boys. If what your mind zooms in on about the current situation is the use of the word “Boys” rather than “Men”, that is not exactly the most manly of responses. It probably has more in common with an old maid school marm with her hair pulled back a bit too tightly.
Doesn’t Trump contracting the Plague prove that masks are pretty much pointless? Critics will respond that at times he does not wear a mask. But the propaganda constantly admonishes that our masks are not about protecting ourselves. Rather our masks are about protecting others. Even though Trump is reluctant to shroud his countenance, without a doubt those in close contact with the President are required to wear a mask or will be beat to the ground by the Secret Service detail.
If masks are such a protective against the Plague, why must the Secret Services agents that took Trump on the drive to have his ego stroked likely have to go into quarantine?
Trump urged Americans not to be dominated by the Coronavirus. The remarks were well intentioned. Yet not every patient gets Walter Reed treatment. Some end up at the substandard or barely acceptable "county hospital". Doubt it took multiple hours and as many pleas to get his potty chair emptied.
If masks and social distancing work to the extent we are assured by propagandists, why shouldn’t youth be allowed to Trick or Treat this Halloween season? If a jurisdiction “discourages” Trick or Treating, technically there is nothing that can be done to stop the custom given by definition the act has not been forbidden. Interesting that the bureaucrats and elected officials now suggesting youth not Trick or Treat issued no declarations against youth looting and rioting. In certain instances, such pillaging was euphemistically encouraged under the phraseology of “historic protests”.
In a Mark Warner campaign ad, it is pointed out that the Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate Daniel Gade remarked that a compulsory face mask is what tyranny feels like. Gade simply stated an opinion. He did not call for the directive (since in many jurisdictions the requirements do not even rise to the status of actual law) to be disobeyed. For if he had, Warner would have no doubt made fodder of such a comment. All the government ought to concern itself with is our compliance. Not with what we are thinking or feeling as we do. As such, the case could be made that what Mark Warner is most concerned about is not so much about disease control but rather mind control.
A video posted to Youtube considers the New Monastic movement in light of the global pandemic. One should be allowed to hunker down to the extent one desires to avoid contact with the Plague. However, it should be concerning when statements regarding such are formulated in such a way insinuating something is mentally wrong with you if you long for an eventual return to the way things once were in regards to freedom of movement and such. Ironically, most of these individuals look and sound like the sorts that would gravitate to the "keep your laws off my body" or "how dare you impose your morality on me sort of churches". As such, just because they might want to be locked inside for the rest of their lives, who are they to demand that from the rest of us? Also the discerning will find it irritating to the extent capitalism was bashed in the video. But was it not capitalism that allowed for the development of the technology that allows them to communicate across such vast distances and to pursue such bourgeoisie pursuits as artisanal chocolate making while quarantined?
A mural painted on a building in an undisclosed municipality depicts the Statue of Liberty wearing Air Jordans along with the words “equality” and “reparations”. The proponents of such propaganda urging the confiscation of resources from one group of people to be lavished upon another that did nothing to earn them apart from being born a particular skin color will make the argument that it’s nobody’s business what message a business might decide to plaster across the side of its building. If that’s the case, then don’t in the local press insist that the purpose for the erection of such public art is to elicit a conversation. For if such a sentiment is actually sincere, isn’t that an invitation for criticism as well? However, by this point most realize that when ardent liberals these days call for conversation what that really means is that you had better agree with them unless you want to be doxed and your property pillaged. Even so, it will be replied, it is not the place of local government to curtail free speech in regards to these substandard doodles the brainwashed dupes are celebrating as high art. If that’s the case, will an apology be issued to the homeowner forced by city authorities to remove a lawn jockey from private property over its failure to comply with prevailing mob sympathies?
Given Biden's explicitly stated intentions to eliminate fossil fuels, perhaps Americans still willing to vote for him should end up living in squalor. The primary drawback would be the rest of us being dragged down along with them.
