They’re such pigs that they will not defer to Alveda King. In their minds, she’s just raining on their parade.
Penzey Spice Company says Republicans (and conservatives) are racists.
“This time, voting for the Republican’s openly racist candidate (Trump) was itself an act of racism,” Penzey wrote in a Facebook post. “This time there’s no excuse.”
Penzey added that conservatives who don’t want to be seen as being a racist should just admit that their vote for Trump was a racist act. “Voting for racism is racism,” Penzey wrote. “If you don’t want to be publicly seen as a racist, don’t vote for it.”
If that isn’t racist....nothing is.
What you say, Penzy? No watermelon salt?

The repeated assertion that President Trump is “racist” does not, and shall never, make it true. The term is only so diluted now that it has virtually lost its meaning. In no context is President Trump even remotely racist in the classic definition of the term.
Just another example of how to lose control of the language.
For the left, the racism horse has been flogged to death. Overused to the point of irrelevance.
She’s all class.
The boy that cried ‘Wolf!’ has been replaced by “The media that cried ‘Racism!’ Pretty soon, no one will pay attention.
If bombs were falling on our cities, I think the media would be still be talking about how racist Trump is.
I can’t take any more of the childish talk that goes on all day every day ... even on Fox... the other networks are not watchable ... going over and over the word s-hole.. all weekend.. Don’t they have anything else to do? Report on what Trump is doing.. what he has accomplished.. the stock market hitting all time highs.. more jobs... more money in the pay check ... do some research and find all the good Trump has done even before he became President... he’s helped many people and groups.... paint a picture of who Trump is and get the damned dirt talk and the negatives off the airwaves... Fox should know better and do better... this crap that downgrades our President is hurting our country and giving off a false impression of who he is all across the world. The media has painted a weak man and that brings on attempts from the enemy to test to see how weak.
President is anything but weak... he’s turned around much of the damage obama has done... IN ONE YEAR! and obama and hillary belong in jail... there should be a trial going on right now.. a public trial... but the government is filled with the swamp that was destroying our beloved country.. and nothing is being done... snails walk faster than our government!!
There are grown men and women in the media who have not brain one in their heads... it’s filled with hateful mush.. and it’s really getting old!!!!!!!!!!!! I turned them off all weekend and first thing Monday morning there they were talking about that word again... on who said he didn’t use that word. Who gives any care to whether he said it or not!!! playing right into the dem’s hands to repeat it in the first place... who gives a ____ what word he used or didn’t use...
Bombs could have been heading our way last week.. but the subject would still have been a word Trump said or didn’t say! Does anyone think this is ridiculous? Yes, I do!!
Thanks. I know I had to shut down my Kaspersky anti-virus a few months ago to get the Fox videos to play but now they are playing fine without having to exit Kaspersky.

So they’re back to ‘racist’. I thought they had discarded that term for ‘white supremacist’. Guess that didn’t work out.
"Racist" took the bronze — barely edged out of the second place silver by "Nazi" — in the scramble to lose all meaning.
"Gentleman" took the gold.
In 1952.
The word gentleman originally meant something recognisable; one who had a coat of arms and some landed property. When you called someone "a gentleman" you were not paying him a compliment, but merely stating a fact. If you said he was not "a gentleman" you were not insulting him, but giving information. There was no contradiction in saying that John was a liar and a gentleman; any more than there now is in saying that James is a fool and an M.A. But then there came people who said - so rightly, charitably, spiritually, sensitively, so anything but usefully - "Ah but surely the important thing about a gentleman is not the coat of arms and the land, but the behaviour? Surely he is the true gentleman who behaves as a gentleman should? Surely in that sense Edward is far more truly a gentleman than John?"
They meant well. To be honourable and courteous and brave is of course a far better thing than to have a coat of arms. But it is not the same thing. Worse still, it is not a thing everyone will agree about. To call a man "a gentleman" in this new, refined sense, becomes, in fact, not a way of giving information about him, but a way of praising him: to deny that he is "a gentleman" becomes simply a way of insulting him. When a word ceases to be a term of description and becomes merely a term of praise, it no longer tells you facts about the object: it only tells you about the speaker's attitude to that object. (A 'nice' meal only means a meal the speaker likes.)
A gentleman, once it has been spiritualised and refined out of its old coarse, objective sense, means hardly more than a man whom the speaker likes. As a result, gentleman is now a useless word. We had lots of terms of approval already, so it was not needed for that use; on the other hand if anyone (say, in a historical work) wants to use it in its old sense, he cannot do so without explanations. It has been spoiled for that purpose.

In regards to that, I am waiting for the other TWO shoes to drop.
When the case of the illegals come up, have a person with a backbone being the chair and ask their fellow pols why we shouldn’t send ILLEGALS back, you can bet one of the excuses will be the country isn’t ‘safe’ or some such thing.
THEN hit them with ...O So it is an out of control $hiite Hole?
As to the ‘release’ of the Presidents choice of words, just announce that the reason he had the OPEN joint meeting was so they couldn’t pull this crap.
SO, as a matter of course, ANY dealing I and the House and Senate conduct will be broad/telecast and on the record for ALL the people to see.
Goes back to the OPEN Door policy....it used to mean that MY DOOR is OPEN for you to contact me.
NOW it means it is OPEN so YOU can’t bring ‘false charges’ against me.
PROgress is supposed to be moving ahead...
what does than make
CONgress??
I second all that!!!
She's........
btt
So long as King's radical "theology" remains unexposed, nothing will change.
