We are actually living in the “You are Obsolete” episode of the Twilight Zone.

Agree.

Trump did exactly that and it worked.

Carolla compared smoking vs guns.

“You want us to smoke over here in the restaurant? Okay. You want us to smoke outside? Okay. Want us to never smoke at all? Sure. Versus. You want to take away my 30-round mag AK? To hell with you.”

Capitulation never works. Liberals will always keep pushing.

Homosexuals. “you want to take over a word for happy to describe a lifestyle that shortens your life expectancy by 30 years? Okay. You can to do what you want in the privacy of your own home? Okay. You want civil unionists. You can marriage. You want adoption. You want parades. You want to be encouraged in grade school. You want trannies reading to kids? You want 8 year olds on hormone therapy. You want pedophelia legalized?”

I thought that things said in humor, especially as part of a comedy routine, were immune to societal outrage due to content. Sam Kinison is lucky he's dead, or the PC Police would have standing orders to fire on sight...

Some time around mid-2017, this straight, White male foolishly posted a Facebook comment critical of the LGBTQ community. A member of that community was apparently offended by that post, reported it and I have just come out of a 3 day Facebook suspension.

In the year since I made the offensive post, I have come to know and respect several members of the LGBTQ community and offer this mea culpa as my formal apology to them and the entire LGBTQ community. They are fellow human beings who have every right to be who they are and to be accepted by those of us who may have a different orientation.

But I want this mea culpa to go beyond a simple apology. I wish to offer suggestions for ways we can advance acceptance of the diversity so desperately needed to prevent the sort of discriminatory behavior my callous comments of last year represent.

I believe one of the best ways to achieve that worthy goal is to expose our children and youth to the wide variety of exciting lifestyles of our LGBTQ brothers and sisters by designating federal funding to programs such as “Drag Queen Story Hour” now in place in a number of mainly inner city schools. Because many grown suburban and rural children will one day find themselves in social or business situations where LGBTQ folks are present, “Drag Queen Story Hour” should be expanded to the entire nation. Doing so would acquaint all our young to the myriad LGBTQ variants, minimizing or preventing the sort of discriminatory behavior or microaggressions of which I have been guilty in the past.

Given the truth of the old aphorism that “As the twig is bent, so grows the tree”, I strongly urge that these existing – and any new – programs MUST be pushed down into the earliest grades where children begin to learn language so they can be taught the correct and acceptable words, terms and phrases so as to eliminate the likelihood of their using language offensive or hurtful to LGBTQ members.

There is yet ANOTHER benefit: It would allow any young who may be experiencing confusion concerning THEIR gender to avoid potentially destructive feelings of isolation, but be comforted in the knowledge that they are not alone,

If you share my concerns that we MUST bring ALL our citizens together (intellectually AND PHYSICALLY!), please share this.

In 2011, he wrote in a since-deleted tweet: “Yo if my son comes home & try’s 2 play with my daughters doll house I’m going 2 break it over his head & say n my voice ‘stop that’s gay.”

That's it?! The Gaystapo is out of control.

Kevin Hart should say he is dating Conan O’Brien.

But be careful, gay people, trans trumps YOU. What have you EVER tweeted? Or even said?

Muzzie trumps everything and heads will roll.

Oh boy would the obama hit the fan.
