Dear Valerie Jarrett,
You smugly describe Roseanne Barr’s firing from ABC as a “teachable moment”.
Exactly what will it teach? And to whom?
“Education” implies free will and choice. Obama’s administration was all about coercion. Whether it was socialized medicine, opening America’s borders via executive fiat to give your party more power, seizing control of the Internet, threatening to raise taxes by executive order or threatening to imprison people who disagree with your party on climate change or Islam — it was all about coercion.
Coercion and education are opposites, Ms. Jarrett. If nothing else, you should be intelligent enough to know that.
The people you seek to educate, Ms. Jarrett, are not interested in what you have to teach. We already know what you want to teach: Intolerance of dissension, nationalization of private property, wealth redistribution, special favors to wealthy corporations who uphold your policies and punishment to those businesses who dissent. And on top of it all: Eventual abolishing of the Second Amendment and, for all practical purposes, the First Amendment as well.
You seek a world where everyone agrees with you, and those who do not — well, they must pretend to agree.
Roseanne’s joke about you misses the most serious point. You presided as one of the most sinister figures in an administration that brought the United States of America closer to a dictatorship than any other in its history.
Those of us defending Roseanne Barr are accused of changing the subject. “The real subject is racism.” No it isn’t. Leftist comedians have made far more shocking and insulting jokes than Ms. Barr did about you, and you know it. The subject being changed here is your record, and the record of the authoritarian, “softly” dictatorial regime you ran. That’s the “national conversation” you want the millions of citizens who detested your eight long years of rule never to have, and that you seek to stifle in any way you can.
The only people who care about your “teaching” methods are the ones who already buy into your toxic ideas, your double standards and your profound disrespect for the greatest achievement in human liberty thus far: America’s Constitution.
We know what you’re after, Ms. Jarrett. It’s not persuasion. If it were, you’d devote your life to explaining to people why your brand of socialism and fascism will attain the prosperity and justice that fascism, Communism and all the other “isms” — including progressivism — never have, and never will achieve.
Speak to your choir, Ms. Jarrett. Nobody else is listening.
I could not care less what your race is. It’s your ideas, your attitudes and your actions that matter to me. Yours are far, far more damaging than anything Roseanne Barr was accused of stating or implying.
You might eventually get your wish and have your ideas made the rule of law. You might eventually shut up not just Roseanne Barr, but all dissenting voices.
But you will never “educate” us. Our minds will always be our own.
You cannot touch people’s minds. Dictators like yourself never have, and never will. That’s why they always lose, in the end.
Correct, and majorities affect policy, not individuals.
I think she looks like a fire or acid victim. She has melted eyelids.
I love this guy. I’d buy him lunch right now. Best response ever.
Roseanne definitely chose the wrong creature. Valjar looks more like a lizard than many lizards.
The “Teachable Moment” is the EXPOSURE of who Jarrett really is. For the entire time she was able to hide in the background and protected by Obambi and cohorts in the “media”
In sales it’s called “gettin your name out” And there should be a series of investigative articles as to “who” she is
She stated, in a network interview, that O-Vomit was “ready to rule.”
Bttt.

My Mom used to refer to “ colored people” and it was a respectful term, certainly much better than other descriptions of the era. The N.A.A.C.P. still incorporates the term. I was having a conversation with a liberal associate, she was saying “people of color”. When my reply came out using the inverse term “colored people”, her head almost exploded :).
I hear Bill Cosby’s shows are still on. Tweets are more offensive than drugging and rape.
Isn’t it silly, if annoying? These frequent and unnecessary semantic changes are nothing more than part of the effort to keep white people on defense regarding silly details, so that we’ll be too busy with PC to notice that we’re being robbed blind to pay for “reparations” by the back door (“entitlements”, quotas, all the other things which really affect our livelihoods and freedom).
Ditto! For a shrink, he is refreshingly direct and to the point.
I read Dr. Hurd’s Daily Dose of Reason everyday. All of his articles are “spot on” and backed by flawless logic. I highly recommend all Freepers to make the Daily Dose of Reason part of your daily routine.
I’ve said many times in the past 10 years that she looked like a burn victim.
Given that they were in different camps of Islam....Sunni or later Shiites gonna happen.
Wonderful. Thanks for posting.
Voltaire was nobody’s fool. He’s the heart and soul of the Enlightenment, the philosophy and ideas that forged our Founding.
An insult to Harambe.
