Quite true. I had a lunch today with a young lady whose mother asked me to give her my perspective on a choice of careers. The young lady is going to a very exclusive private college and has excellent grades. At one point in our conversation, the subjects of “economic inequality” and redistribution of wealth came up. I asked for her opinion and she stated that she supported some form of leveling of incomes - my words, not hers.

At that point, I asked her, “Do you think that would be fair?” She responded, “Well yes I do.” I then asked her, “Are there students in your school who have lower GPAs than you?” She said, “Yes there are”, to which I replied, “What if I told you we were going to make academic achievement more ‘fair’ by giving part of your grade to students with lower GPAs, would that be fair?”

She responded, “Of course not, I worked hard for my grades.” I then asked, “How does that differ from someone who has succeeded professionally and economically by working hard, only to see the fruits of their labor given to someone who hasn’t worked as hard...?”

She seemed a bit shocked and said she gets it, but I’m not so sure.

He is such a nice man...polite and patient... but this woman needs a hard lesson...

Girls become nasty (if given the chance) almost as soon as they can talk...and then they grow into teenage when they are full blown smart alec know it all with no respect.. then they become adults with full blown hateful spiteful and revengeful feminists... and their mouths are never in control!!!!!! They don’t care what they say. .they have no sense of rude... they don’t care who they harm. The only way to do it justice is to give it back to the witch or ignore her ... if you can.

In elementary, a school teacher said “boys have a disagreement, have a fight and everything is ok” “Girls have a disagreement and it goes on forever, choosing sides and making everyone miserable.”

(There are exceptions....some girls were born with some sense...consider you who live with her..lucky.)

You, the great lady, Doughty One .... are correct.

This girl, AOC, is near brain-dead.

If she is not a dedicated LEZZIE,

“Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Faces Backlash for Scoffing that Veteran Dan Crenshaw Should ‘Go Do Something’ About Right-Wing Domestic Terrorism

She is infuriating enough. Breitbart should report instead of snip to further inflame. Let the left-wing new networks keep the copyright on that behavior.”

She said “right-wing extremists were behind almost all U.S. domestic terrorist killings.”

That is a completely false statement.

But if the right wing were behind “almost all” terrorism then the only terrorism to “do something about” would be right wing terrorism. Therefore, right wing terrorism is essentially the same as terrorism.

I think you are splitting hairs. The headline was fine.

Didn't she appropriate that line from Obama?

Yes, you could argue they are putting the correct words in her mouth, but instead of putting any words in her mouth, they should just report what she actually said and people who see the words as equivalent will read it as you did, and others who see them as different will see it differently.

Here’s a great article that lays bare how the left has perfected the tactic of putting words in other people’s mouths, where the left believes that the words they are putting are the same as what the person is saying:

Why Can’t People Hear What Jordan Peterson Is Saying?
A British broadcaster doggedly tried to put words into the academic’s mouth.

Just think, the DNC had to starve a houseplant so she could win her district.

I cannot wait to see these freshmen critters get their asses handed to them in 2020. But they will get commenting jobs on MSNBC and CNN.

I and many other active duty personnel have been deployed to war zones and have dug in and waited for people, “JUST LIKE YOU”.

Now we are retired but if you morons on the left push this nation into CWII rest assured we have not forgotten our training.

Did AOC have parents? If so they need to be arrested for child neglect. They obviously didn’t insure she was educated.

“you could argue they are putting the correct words in her mouth, but instead of putting any words in her mouth, they should just report what she actually said”

They did not put words in her mouth.

They reported what she said.

She said almost all terrorists are right wing. Therefore it is redundant to repeat the words right wing every time she talks about terrorists.

AOC gives new meaning to the term ‘Stupid is as Stupid does’. Besides having a permanent case of ‘Foot in Mouth’ disease, she is one of the few Dummocrats that when she opens mouth, only defecation comes out. A true ‘Stupid Lying Ugly Tramp’>

So you’re saying the reason she wants to ban cow farts is she can’t handle the competition? It all makes sense now.

"Ocasio-Cortez stuck her foot in her mouth" How? She's had her head up her butt for the longest time.
