George Carlin's thoughts:

"I saw a slogan on a guy’s car that said “Proud to be an American.” And I thought, well, what the fuck does that mean? Proud to be an American. You see, I’ve never understood national pride. I’ve never understood ethnic pride. Because I’m Irish, and all four of my grandparents were born in Ireland, so I’m fully Irish. And when I was a kid, I would go to the St. Patrick’s Day parade, and I noticed that they sold a button that said “Proud to be Irish.” And I could never understand that because I knew that on Columbus Day, they sold a different button that said “Proud to be Italian.” Then came black pride and Puerto Rican pride. And I could never understand ethnic or national pride because, to me, pride should be reserved for something you achieve or attain on your own, not something that happens by accident of birth. Being Irish isn’t a skill. It’s a fucking genetic accident. You wouldn’t say, “I’m proud to be 5’11”. I’m proud to have a predisposition for colon cancer. So, why the fuck would you be proud to be Irish or proud to be Italian or American or anything? Hey, if you’re happy with it, that’s fine. Do that. Put that on your car. “Happy to be an American.” Be happy. Don’t be proud. Too much pride as it is. Pride goeth before a fall."

A Trump supporter is projecting a Trump sign on the local water tower. The democrat governor has rented several spotlights to drown out this image. The spotlights run on gasoline and there are two DPW workers on site that are getting overtime pay. The person that is responsible is doing it from his own property and the water tower is public property. Is the governor denying the homeowner's First Amendment rights?

There is nothing preventing somebody from projecting a Harris sign on the tower.

This may seem redundant after my last question on a similar topic, but the DOJ is now suing another police department, this time in South Bend IN stating that physical fitness standards are sexist and math tests are racist for police officers. Thoughts?

no matter what side you support, I find it weird when there’s these little kids at political rallies and stuff like that. Clearly their parents are planting ideas in their head and I think you should at least wait until they’re old enough and able to make up their minds on their own.

I feel so negative about it. In some ways we’ll have some cool things and cool inventions, but people will become crazier, like imagine the left of the future

Read daily, cook often, iron clothes, do their own laundry, uber/drive themselves to work, pay off their own bills, pay their phone bill, clean the house.

What is the purpose of what I would call "soldier boy cosplay by the Gravy Seals"?

Non USA Americans would you turn right around and leave ASAP?

LEOs how do you react if at all? What if it were minorities?

Is this liberal created stereotype false, unfair or erroneous? If so please explain, or better still, if you have a stereotypical conservative created pic / meme of a lib ❄️ I would really like to see that too!

Your baby has a brain that is active by 14 weeks so can't kill him after that point. Not "just a clump of cells".

Hitler is the most maligned man to have ever lived

I'm one of the 25% that thinks he had good ideas

1. pollution must be stopped

2. animal have rights

3. body shaming is immoral

4. the world doesn't need bosses it needs leaders

The woke seem to love echo chambers. Welcoming questions seems to be a right wing trait not a left wing one. Woke professional educators mostly respond to Questions with attacks relying on fear and intimidation to discourage the use of logic and reasoning that could expose their questionable rhetoric that could never hold up outside of an average heavily censored environment.

Please let me know where you go to actually debate people with opposing views if your A SJW.
