America is turning into such an intolerant, victim-centered, outrage-based, politically correct, that joke isn’t funny, how dare you hold an opposite opinion-centered culture, that a lot of people are afraid to tell you the truth anymore. It’s easier for people to sometimes just keep their heads down and hope that the outrage mob will pick another victim. But, unfortunately, when people become afraid to speak the truth, common sense can die in the darkness because everyone is caught up in saying what we’re “supposed to” believe instead. An America that encourages free speech, discourages censorship and believes in a free exchange of ideas will ALWAYS be superior to the ugly, backward “safe space” of a culture that so many people are trying to create today.
1) All lives matter.
2) People wearing MAGA hats are risking far more to advance free speech and tolerance than most college professors do today.
3) Racism still exists, but it isn’t a serious impediment to anyone’s success in America like it used to be several decades ago.
4) Women make less money than men because they prefer less stressful work and take much more time off to raise kids.
5) You can’t be a good American if you don’t speak English.
6) The false accusations, the demonization of men, and the poisoning of relations between the sexes encouraged by the #MeToo movement have done more harm than the good done by the relatively tiny number of sexual abusers that were exposed because of it.
7) Even Nazis shouldn’t be censored or punched for their beliefs.
8) Allowing gay scoutmasters to take teen scouts into the woods will obviously lead to more sexual abuse of scouts.
9) Any attempt for the government to confiscate all firearms would signal an end to our Republic and should be resisted at all costs, including violently if necessary.
10) If we are going to force the police to deal with the most mentally ill, dangerous, and violent people in our country on a daily basis, some people are going to deservedly be killed and there are also going to be some mistakes made. That is unavoidable and the people pretending otherwise are being unrealistic.
11) No one who immigrates to the United States should be eligible for any kind of welfare program.
12) It shouldn’t be considered ethical for psychologists to go along with the false idea that you can change genders and it shouldn’t be legal for doctors to do surgery or give hormones to a mentally ill person trying to become the other sex.
13) Most adults that are rich or poor deserve to be.
14) Just because a white person criticizes or gets into a conflict with a minority doesn’t mean it has anything to do with race. In fact, the vast majority of the time it doesn’t.
15) Drag queens are deviants and shouldn’t be allowed near children, much less allowed to be part of story times for kids.
16) There are only two genders.
17) If America were oppressive for minorities, they’d be leaving the country, not coming here in droves.
18) There isn’t enough proof that we’re experiencing global warming and that man is responsible for it to make radical changes designed to “fix it.”
19) 99 times out of a 100, a single mom can’t even come close to raising a child as well as a mother and father can.
20) It is okay to be white just like it’s okay to be every other race.
21) Anyone that brings their child with them as they break the law by crossing into America illegally is a bad parent and at fault, if they are separated from their child.
22) Diversity isn’t a strength that makes us better, it’s a weakness that takes many special steps (emphasis on assimilation, patriotism, colorblindness, etc.) to overcome.
23) The more mass shootings there are, the more of a reason there is for law-abiding people to arm themselves, not for them to disarm.
24) The proper remedy for speech isn’t censorship, it’s more speech.
25) Slavery was a universal phenomenon and Americans should be prouder that we, along with Great Britain, did the most of any nations in history to end the practice than ashamed that our nation had slaves, just like everybody else.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love FREEDOM enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” ― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956
Wrong! There are countless genders — the number limited only by the imagination and fever-dreams of the delusional. There are, however, only two sexes.
A Summer job when I was 17 back in the 50’s was for a woman boss. Then, it was just fine. She was young, pretty and competent. The War Between Men and Women (see J Thurber) hadn’t yet turned into a shooting war.
Nobody owes you a Living.
An Armed Society is a Polite Society.
The only good Commie is a dead Commie.
War is not the answer, it is the solution.
First Registration, then Confiscation.
Life isn’t fair and no Government can make it so.
Our Rights come from Almighty God, not from Politicians who think they are Almighty God.
Your Rights end at the tip of my Nose and the fold of my Wallet.

“16. There are only two genders.”
False: There are only two sexes.
Gender is a linguistic concept, not a biological one; as such, it actually is variable in number, depending upon the language.
Using the left’s terminology is ceding valuable debating territory at the outset. We must take back the English Language.
I am in favor of using ridicule.
The left “hates” to be laughed at....
I doubt that: perhaps in colloquial/vernacular language, which often conflates the meaning of separate terms, rendering them vague and/or ambiguous. Street slang is not Standard English.
Many languages actually have more than the three genders of Standard English. All Homo sapiens have two sexes.
When I was a boy, I received a wallet for Christmas. The identity card inside had a space for “Name:”; “Address:”; “Sex:” - not gender. No one I knew ever referred to boy or girl - man or woman - as being of a gender. That came much more recently.
Likewise, biology professors at university in the not-too-distant past would never refer to sex as gender. They knew well that biological sexuality was distinct from any cultural concept of gender.
This is yet another example of leftist ideology subverting society through controlling the language. It is a corollary to Moral Relativism. This is not happening by random chance: Most academics - including those who write and edit dictionaries - are confirmed leftists. They are deliberately altering the language to promote a leftist ideology.
Gone with the Wind speaks of Scarlett O’Hara being “unsexed.” This is not referring to her being androgynous or asexual, but of not acting like an accepted member of her sex: a feminine woman. Though the feminine - not the sexual - was the concern here, the linguistic term for the feminine was emphatically not used.
C. S. Lewis brilliantly uses the two concepts in counterpoint in his Space Trilogy. He was a scholar of literature and language. At one point, he asserts that God the Father is supremely masculine, but not biologically male.
See 46.
Slavery in America wasn’t initially about racism, but making money. Making more money. The racism came alongside to justify and protect a guilty conscience making money off other people.
The european slaves that the muslims took, the african slaves the muslims took...some 100 million....it wasn’t racism, it was money. They wouldn’t convert so they made money from/off them, dirt cheap.
Our ancestors wanted some of that money action, sadly.
We do the same paying employees less than they are worth....to make money. It’s a grave sin....the same one....that CRIES OUT TO HEAVEN. The good part though is employees can leave freely and without fear. Not there is a quick place to get another job to feed/house our family of course. Not going commie hete.
Safe places are for kindergarten kids! If you are in college, suck it up buttercup!
Agree with all of them.

26) Fifty percent of the crime in this country is committed by members of a demographic group comprising 13% of the population.
27) Statistically speaking, women are less capable of moral reasoning than men.
Is That Bad?
American jobs for Americans
Chinese Communists are fascist thugs and thieves
I get called an intolerant racist every time I mention this on LinkedIn, Facebook or Twitter ( hell, I’ve even seen it here )
How’z bout...Jews and Arabs are genetically indistinguishable
“Yup, been there myself.”
And I, more than once. Retired now, so it’s all behind me, but its still hard to forgive.
“Funny that the author posts this. Consider the horrible grammar and bad writing found here within this article.”
Not to mention all over FR. Come on, people, look smart.
Self ping.
Yes. But how about when the majority are a bunch of retards that can’t speak English?
No one should have to bow to the whims of anyone, period.
