Ithaca is a left wing s***hole. FReepers know that, too bad Trump’s campaign staff didn’t.
The only thing I know about Ithaca is I used to have a beautiful Ithaca shotgun. I miss it.

The State theater? I was there is the second half of the 70s. Great old style movie palace.

I noticed that word “rebuke” too. Sounds like such a righteous endeavor.

No doubt. You only have to walk down the street to get that!

A few years back, a conservative friend and I went to Harvard Square in Cambridge.

They had a place outside an Au Bon Pain that was frequented by chess players, and that night, there was a “Poetry Slam” going on, so we stopped, sat down, and watched for a few minutes.

There was a girl, dressed all in black, faintly resembling Ally Sheedy in the movie “The Breakfast Club” reciting a “poem”:

(Spoken in beatnik tones) “...and then he grabbed me and threw me down. And he F***** me. And then again. And...”

We looked at each other with this shared expression of “Can you believe these effing lunatics?” and then, looking at the people sitting next to us watching intently, a guy, stroking his chin and listening as if it were the most profound thing he had ever heard.

As for your friend...people collect all kinds of things-I guess there are people who really like Nazi dinnerware or cutlery (Yes, I did see “American Beauty”!) but...I can see collecting those types of pamphlets and such. I’ll bet those things are a lot more interesting than white supremacist cutlery!

“Who are you quoting?”
That’s mine.
And it is heartfelt.

I loved Ithaca shotguns. Shot skeet with one; couldn’t just drop a shell in, had to load the magazine & then rack it.

Saw one in Vietnam; carried by point man on patrols.

"I noticed that word “rebuke” too. Sounds like such a righteous endeavor."

Yeah - the subtext is that you rebuke someone who has done something wrong -- the story writers always build in an assumption that they don't come right out and say. To the media, and those who read this propaganda thinking the media is their nice honest friend, these rebukers are just good janitors cleaning the toilet, and the crap in the toilet is ... us. Since toilet crap is not something deserving of empathy, you can see how in the history of mankind there are cycles and cycles or purges and mass murders and mass imprisonments.

We DO need more immigrants ... from Soviet bloc countries ... to remind these dopey liberals what the schools no longer teach them - that the end of this path is doom and suffering for everyone - including them.

In time, they too will be 'rebuked.'

Is “rebuking” covered by the first amendment?

At a recent Biden town hall, he said that Poland and Hungary were totalitarian countries. Interesting that the media didn’t pick up on this serious goof. Either ignorance or sign of dementia where long term memory overpowers short term.

I don’t have a clue as to the theater name. It was in the heart of downtown is all I remember.

This is unfortunately the model for the foreseeable future in Ithaca. I have lived just outside Ithaca for 40 years, but now when I drive downtown I am confronted with the street-blocking protests from BLM, Antifa, Socialist whatevers, etc. And now this, can’t even have a little rally for Trump without the Leftist a-holes breaking it up, destroying personal and private property, and injuring people.

It’s very, very disappointing and saddening, but it’s also a dangerous sign of the time and the future.

as a child, on July 4th the whole family plus uncles and aunts and cousins would drive up to Ithaca to the state park along Cayuga Lake...we'd place our picnic stuff on tables then all drive up to the orchards to pick cherries...all you could eat....then afterwards, come back to have our picnic and try to swim in the very cold lake....also, they had a lot of thin little shale rocks and a favorite pastime would be to see how far you could skim the rocks across the water....

Happy days back then..

It is long past time that all federal funding to education be cut.

We should not be pay for the destruction of our own culture.

Judging from what I read, you could add Austin, TX to that list.
