Leftism destroys every single thing it touches.

Every single thing.

If someone wants to make a comedy that makes money, they need to put in jokes that are funny and ignore the “woke” types completely.

[LeoTDB69]

Funny to think about how half the audience may be laughing hysterically and half may be crying with sadness from the dilemma of this woman’s plight.

[FLT-bird]

This new group of Puritan fanatics is just as humorless as the last.

[Beowulf9]

Remember when they said laughter is the best medicine.

Not any more.

Now it’s pills.

[Fred Hayek]

I sometimes joke that these SJW Puritans make East Texas hardshell Independent Fundamentalist Baptists seem like laissez faire libertarians.

[Dr.Deth]

Are SJW's really trying to appropriate the term "woke?"

War is peace. Asleep is woke. Ignorance is strength.

Dennis Prager? Is that you? And how right you are.

My first thought as well. “Woke” means seeing through the media-pop propaganda and realizing that the SJW “deeply held beliefs” are identical to what a sheep believes when all the sheeps in front of him run to the north. “Running to the north is The Only Right Thing to Do!” I’m embarrassed for the Gullible Americans who think they believe something when it was forced upon them by an oligarchy who controls their media, music, and culture. There is absolutely no cogent analysis of thought going on. Ban straws! Illegals are dreamers! The homeless are just like you and me if the paycheck didn’t get deposited!

They can’t possibly be saying now that they who suck in their “beliefs” like milk from mama’s breast are woke!! Only those who dare to make sense out of what is going on, understanding qui bono and ulterior motives, using actual logic, are ‘woke,’ honey.

The original Puritans, for all their flaws, don't deserve to be lumped in with these SJW morons. The Puritans may have had strict codes of conduct, speech and what-not, but they imposed them in order to achieve a higher level of man under the eyes of God, and they did it under brutal conditions which threatened their very survival. What their efforts bestowed on us as Americans was a culture of dedication, hard work and rigid honesty (which we then allowed to fall to ruin).

Today's SJW morons are the most pampered, spoiled, fattened, dumbed-down, amoral people in history, whose only desire is not to elevate man but to drag him down into the filth so that all of us may be equally dirty and wretched, in the mistaken belief that it is only the clean person who makes the filthy person look dirty. And their means to achieve this goal, given that there are a great many of us who don't want to go down in to the muck, is to crush resistance by eliminating the very concept of filth from the dictionary, and eliminating anyone who actually remembers the meaning of the word.

Future Ringwalds may not have much to regret in 30-odd years.

Except that they never laughed.

Thank you.

I used to go to movies and be blissfully unaware of the politics of the actors, which is the way it should be.
Now they are so strident and arrogant about it, it’s impossible to ignore.
The premise of Amy Schumer’s movie actually sounds funny, but sorry Amy, I’m also “woke” and not giving my money to Hollywood nitwits.

What’s left?

White Christian males?

[SaveFerris]

You should read the comments even on liberal Yahoo blasting the idea of this Amy Schumer movie. Man, she really got blasted. Guess all her liberal agendas aren’t endearing her to a lot of folks.

Tone-Deaf. Whatever the a lefty is pushing, that is your response. Followed up by: If you don’t know what that means, you aren’t worth anybody’s time to educate you.

[AFreeBird]

George Carlin and Don Rickles are spinning in their graves.

Blazing Saddles would never, couldn’t ever, be made today.

[upchuck]

If you care about I Feel Pretty

If you care about Amy Schumer

If you care about Molly Ringwald

If you care about deadline.com

If you care about “social justice warriors”

Too bad, so sad.

[Louis Foxwell]

The best way to defeat the SJWs is to ignore them.
