    What about information regarding Conservativism in those liberal indoctrinating public schools? Should that information be only given to students of Conservative parents? What if a kid from one of those damned liberal households wants to learn about MAGA?

    No we don't and no I don't. Parents, repeat after me, parents should choose what's appropriate for their children. Parents. Not me.

    You definitely should not be choosing anything for children, as evidenced in this thread. However ... what of children who might want to know more about something their parents would not/could not expose them to?

    Do you think, as a public institution, information should be limited to what this parent wants vs what that parent wants? I don't think you understand the function of government of public institutions and therefore, need to limit your posts on this website to media central.

    You could have left it there without flinging insults, but here we are.

    I think local school boards can and should have the power to determine determine what is and isn't appropriate for children to be exposed to and at what levels. That being said, don't be surprised when parents that don't share your views start pushing back against things they don't agree with. Of course if MerricK Garland had his way, those parents would be labeled domestic terrorists and locked away at Gitmo'.

    Still don't think you understand how government works nor what public institutions should or should not leave up to the masses.

    Jesus Christ, how fucking thick can you get?

    This entire letter is about the rash of people harassing and threatening violence against school administrators and teachers.

    Not "pushing back." Harassing and threatening violence.

    Are you really dumb enough to swallow the dishonest narrative that Fox News was pushing about this, or are you just being intentionally dishonest along with them?

    Why does the DOJ need to get involved and not local police? Also, define harassing and threatening violence.

    Why shouldn't the DOJ get involved, aside from the fact that you've decided to get very attached to the simpleminded narrative that holds that local is always better?

    Well, we could start with the numerous examples documented here:

    Did these people cross state lines because that’s when the FBI should theoretically get involved.

    The federal government has authority to fight terrorist threats. In part because there are parts of the country where local police departments have proven they can't be trusted to do so.

    So Federal Farmer has been trolling the internet for cartoons of 14 year olds blowing each other? :jayzus:

    Anyone remember those few weeks when we didn't have to wade through dozens of posts responding to one of his dumbass posts?

    Just a reminder for those that might not follow anthropology, there’s only one species of Homo sapiens that exists on this planet.

    So you?

    Yes, that's redundant. You're going to fail your anthro final (if your hillbilly high school even offers that). Primarily because you're talking about biology and not anthropology (which is the study of human cultures, linguistics, etc., and not interspecies biology).

    Yes, just like there's only one species of Pan troglodytus or Canine familiarius existing. Or only one species of Tyrannosaurus rex that existed.

    the law clearly defines those already (and has for quite some time), ergo DoJ is acting on what is essentially domestic terror threats which are above the jurisdiction of local law enforcement.

    it's amazing what atrocities you righties will allow for if somebody slaps the word freedom on it.

    Remember when you were making an effort at some self reflection before going back to reflexive opposition?

    You said you found the Dispatch’s traditional conservative perspective thought provoking. And that in fact at one point it made you uncomfortable and you were gonna have to go sit with it and come back.

    Now you are claiming their perspective is the same as AOC’s.

    What caused the shift?

    If he really believes that and isn't trolling, it's further proof that he can't be taken seriously. :jayzus:

    This is going to be a long one because a lot of it has been on my chest for a long time so if you're not going to read it then I'm sorry, but I tried to explain my thinking the best I could.

    I've been watching Real Time with Bill Maher for about the past two years or so and just because he dares to question some things the left does, like the undying fidelity to Fauci, he gets labeled a right winger by certain people here on WF. This is utterly ridiculous. The man has people like John Meachum, who I do respect as a historian, who may disagree with Maher on some issues, but certainly doesn't think Maher is a right winger. I agree with Maher quite a bit. I enjoy Meachum's perspective as well, he's been pretty consistent for the past twenty something years.

    Since 2015, if I agreed with Trump on anything or defended something he said or did in any way, then I'm labeled a Trump supporter. Being called a Trump supporter is the tamest thing I've been called over the years. I never once voted for the guy. Believe me or don't. I have told you that I have friends and family that did. My friends get mad at me for being too liberal or too libertarian sometimes. So if I'm far right, according to some, then my friends must be even further to the right than me.

    I have friends who are in an uproar over the Apple/Twitter feud. Now in the past, yes I would have joined them, but now not so much. Apple is a private company and can do what they want. Twitter and Facebook suppressed the Hunter Biden story and that was their prerogative. That doesn't violate the first amendment so I'm not going to get into that. Now if it turns out that the government was involved, then that's a whole different ball game.

    Speaking of the Biden laptop, it turns out that was a real thing and I think it is despicable that no major news outlets did any investigation into the story. Granted the story is not as damning as Republicans made it out to be, but there still is a question of who the big guy is. This just further proves to me that the main stream media is just an extension of the DNC because if they were really objective and doing their jobs, this wouldn't have been suppressed before the 2020 election.

    I'm not saying that I wish Trump would have won, but a story like this would have likely affected the outcome of the election. It looks to me like the MSM sacrificed journalistic integrity in order to ensure Trump wouldn't win. I'm not sure that's the type of country I want to live in. This is just one example of them doing this, there are others.

    When I brought the laptop story up I was mocked and ridiculed. Now it turns out to be real and do I get an apology? Does anyone admit they were wrong? When I'm wrong about anything WF piles on me endlessly and many times people practically demand I say I was wrong. It's hypocritical as fuck.

    Why am I bringing this all up? It's a long winded way of me saying a few things.

    (A) I do in fact listen to and read a variety of sources and perspectives

    (B) just because I may agree with Trump on one thing, doesn't mean I support him or his overall agenda

    (C) ( Read: this is a long one) I don't fully trust the mainstream media and/or these sources you provide because I recently remembered that you are active in your community and remembered some of the tactics that liberals use to try and change people's minds to win over voters so I'm weary of that.

    Plus I recently learned about the House rules that say that you can vote simply by voice and that's how the Democrats are able to pass a lot of their agenda instead of putting the vote on record and forcing every member of congress to vote. I learned that from watching a brief video of MTG telling this story to Tim Poole.

    While you are not a member of the House, you mentioned in the Midterms thread that the Democrats get full control over the committees if they win, winch they did. That tells me that you know the rules very well. Good on you. That's smart. Sneaky, but smart. This also tells me that MTG may not be as dumb and as crazy as the media makes her out to be and this is why they go on attack mode, they don't want to be found out.

    This is also probably why they go after Mark Levin, like this guy did in that article you posted. Now I won't defend his defending of Trump stealing those documents, but I do agree with Mark on other things and the establishment and /or RINOs like Moscow Mitch don't like that and so they go into attack mode too.

    There's a lot of information out there and a lot times you don't know who or what to believe, but I know what's in my heart and what I was taught so sometimes I question my own self and it gets overwhelming at times.

    So it's not so much a shift, but a precaution.
