Obama was pro Dr. Seuss, shows how crazy we've gone since than

Agreed. Depending on the Republican candidate it is either that or Libertarian. Problem is that too many Californians are moving to Texas because of tax complaints (amongst other reasons), but they will screw up a great situation we have in Texas with the way they vote. In a few years, Texas will have high state income taxes. Then they will migrate to Florida, and screw up state income taxes there. Problem with alt left is that they are never happy. They always want to complain about something.

Funny irony to post that on this thread.

Nope! Older people can be flippant and glib too! Hell, David Letterman is ancient at this point.

I just really don't see what you or I have lost in the last 10 years that you have to say 'enough is enough'.

Nowhere here have you explained how you have been negatively impacted by these people asking for a seat at the table. Absent that, it's giving off strong 'these people should know their place' vibes.

You literally just said "whatabout Jussie Smollet, and creeps in Hollywood, and BLM, etc. etc." in a discussion about a couple of Dr. Seuss books not being reprinted and you say whataboutism holds no quarter here?

(which is even beside the point that Jussie Smollet lost his job on Empire, Harvey Weinstein was fired and is in jail, etc. These people weren't given free reign. How is this showing liberal hypocrisy?)

Someone seems testy. Where did I hysterically scream anything in any of my posts? My point? Seems like you awfully paraphrased what I actually wrote in an effort to undermine my actual argument.

Your argument would only hold any water if Dr Seuss was actually 'cancelled'. You can't even admit that.

You need to admit to that fact, admit your argument was misinformed because you hadn't looked at the facts, and then try to come up with something different.

Until then....

Still, the lying about your handle is just weird. Come on man.

Precisely.

How is the fact that Dr. Suess Enterprises decided to stop printing some of the works of Dr. Suess unacceptable and cancel culture run amok?

They won't even acknowledge that.

These guys feel safer fantasising that millions of evil leftists have all got together and burned every single copy of every Dr Seuss book in some sort of (probably paedophilic) demonic ritual. Their version of events helps them justify their childish outrage.

They stopped printing after the Virginia school system publicly came after them and Dr. Suess books. Pretty clear cut case of cancellation (sorry, I thought the alliteration was fitting given the subject).

False.

You skipped a link in the chain of debate. The issue here with these children books was related to an overall trend, let's call it a zeitgeist, prevalent in the public discourse regarding the efforts by vocal, militant ideologues to censor opposition voices through public pressure and all its varying manifestations. That's when I drew the comparison to leave hypocrites within this very group of ideologues.

It's very, very easy to succumb to turning an opponent into a caricature, but it's intellectually lazy.

You have been guilty of every single criticism that you've had on this thread.

I think we can say that the modern day Leftist political movement has transcended into one of the most insidious, vile collection of people ever assembled, ranking up there with the Philistines and Carthaginians as examples of degeneracy influencing cultural expression on a larger scale.

It is sad that you can't even see your hypocrisy.

The fact that you include Heidegger, a Nazi and virulent opponent of capitalism, socialism, and communism, in a list with Marxists tells enough about how ignorant you are about them.

Florida doesn't have state income tax. It relies on property and sales tax for its meager services.

Ha. This has to be a parody account, right?

Ted Cruz lost the native born Texan vote to Beto in 2018. Cruz actually won among people born outside of Texas.

This post is disguised as clever, but is hollow and lacks wisdom. On the surface, who wouldnt agree with a statement like "striving to be better tomorrow"?

Great post.

If enough of us speak up and say: "this is nonsense, go away now", this hysteria will vanish

Obama was Pro Dr Seuss, and Biden is Anti Dr Seuss, Democrats don't always agree with each other different people, Obama looks at Dr Seuss book and sees a silly rhyming book for Children and likely has read it to his kids, Biden sees Dr Seuss and sees a Racist, a hate monger just like David Duke, Bull Connor, Robert Byrd Etc.

No...you're wrong!

Biden doesn't see ANYTHING! He's being told what to see. This is the scary thing about Biden that should be concerning to everyone. He is being manipulated by the far left every day little by little. He's choosing to sip his favorite flavored Kool-Aid poisoned by the far-left and soon will be a useless, weak, and pathetic puppet simply executing the demands of his socialist handlers. This is elder abuse of the highest level. So sad.

Quite literally the definition of being progressive is the belief that things can be better than the status quo. I guess for a white male this can feel threatening and scary, but for most folks, striving to be better tomorrow than we are today is applauded. No one has ever been so good today that they can't strive to be better tomorrow. Except maybe Jesus I guess.

Totally. I get all my best bits of wisdom from fictional, schizophrenic, charismatic terrorist cult leading alter egos.

We're not "scared." We're laughing at you. There is a big difference.

Yes, Dr. Seuss's books are 100% innocuous.

No Trump did not create a year long pandemic. China did. It originated from China.

Responsible Management? Ill give you the point that it was novel and not many gov leaders knew what to do because it was an unforseen circumstance....but

By that logic, that means that Biden is responsible for all of the deaths that have ocurred since 1/21/2021. Whats even worse is that, now, with close to a year's worth of data, he should have no excuses. Because he theoretically knows what to do. Yet, things are not back to normal yet.
