Friendship with the world is enmity towards the Lord.

Kneeling like this is very must friendship with the world.

There is no such thing as political correctness. It should be called what it is, “restriction of the right of free speech”.

Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.

EXACTLY ‘Jack.

Much like National Socialists book burning and skidMark Zuckerberg’s thought burning. Let me lure you into my PSYOPS trap, children.

SUPEREVIL in America ALERT!

Why is the first part of the article repeated again halfway down?

We got it the first time.

Well. Then come and get me. Cause the only time I kneel is when I proposed to my wife and to the Lord.

Thank you for that quotation.

Information, real information, is obviously dangerous to those who want power over this country, also.

All of the actions of the Left are designed to shut off Men’s reason, and to deny him the information to form independent thought.

Democracy is actually the enemy of Mankind, as we see how easily it can be wielded.

Gaslighting

It’s not about kneeling. It’s about renouncing allegiance to the flag and the USA.

That’s all

58% of the population should go on a mandatory field trip to one of the socialist sh@tholes and live there in squalor until they are ready to be a little more appreciative of their current situation.

To make up for it, the NFL is giving wads of money to leftwing groups...

I'm unwilling to support those who support America's enemies.

Men can be women, and women, men. Right? Right, comrade?

To be fair, it’s not just the young. Utah Republican Sen. Mitt Romney scored a politically correct twofer by joining a BLM street protest while wearing a COVID-19 mask. He should get some sort of award.


Yep, Pierre Delecto felt the need to be politically correct.

That’s the picture from a Washington Post poll that says a majority (56 percent) of Americans actually approve of athletes kneeling in protest when the Star-Spangled Banner is played. Only 42 percent of those polled say it’s “not appropriate.”

Pollsters also say that a majority in America now find nothing missing at all when a wedding features two grooms and no bride.


In the current environment, I’m sure that some will give the politically correct answer to a pollster, if indeed they talk to a pollster at all.

This is not new. I recall years ago, when we were still allowed to vote on the definition of marriage, state after state voted to define marriage, by margins larger than predicted by public opinion polls. So I think that people know what the “politically correct” answer to questions such as these are, and a certain number will give the pollster the politically correct answer.

When it comes to the culture war, it’s been a total rout for our side, and it continues.

Colin Kaepernick needs to be knee capped.

I remember going to the polls on election day when the "no gay marriage amendment" was on the ballot. It was the largest crowd I had ever seen at my polling place. I think it got 70%. Unfortunately, Anthony Kennedy and several other black-robed tyrants over-ruled us.
