    Are You Ready For The Woke Movement?


    Democrats are going to try and make every platform in the World politically correct/WOKE!!!


    It doesn't matter if it is the schooling system, sports, or food companies!!! The bigger the platform, the more likely it is, that they will try and make it pc/woke. It doesn't matter how Republican of an organization; you think it is. It doesn't matter!!! It comes down to money, and greed, and democrat politicians and their friends have plenty of both, owe, and a Socialist 1 party Agenda.

    Owe yes, and by the way, Fox News........You're really stupid sometimes, by playing into the Liberals hands, and putting some of this crap on television. For that is what they want you to do. They want to take America, and the rest of the World, so far radically Left, that you follow them, and do things like continuously report and show on public television drag queens.

    But ya gatta be stronger and smarter than that, or liberals will win, and they will do it a lot faster, if you continuously play into their hands.

    This has puzzled me for a long time, but why does EVERYONE feel the need to use the word "woke" when they want to try and sound serious? I've seen it on Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Youtube, everywhere. I don't understand this.

    I'm not sure 'woke' makes one sound serious, but for me it's the only and maybe best term to describe the crazy things going on in this country today. The silly gender pronouns, the mangling of young bodies in the name of some bizarre behavior and wild thoughts, the corruption of the education system and more.

    That the Pentagon has gone weird is nothing new really, but having soldiers dressed up in bondage outfits while in uniform is beyond the pale.

    It must be scary to see the world changing all around you and to be helpless to stop it.

    why do you think that people are helpless to stop it?

    I'm writing about it. I have Freedom of Speech. Well, at least until democrat politicians take that away from me.

    in my defense, I did use both terms, because they mean the same thing. Politically Correct/Woke.

    This should be in the humor section. But only conservatives would want to go back to the good ole days when slavery and rampant discrimination on the basis of sex, religion, ethnicity, creed, age, and so forth to keep the their power grab going. Next thing this poster will do is say that apartheid was normal and should not have been abolished.

    Well of course, writing about it on a silly message board will surely stop any silly woke movement. <sarcasm off>

    By the way, which Dem politicians have proposed abolishing the 1st amendment? Surely you know politicians can't just take away the first amendment, right? Please tell me you're aware of what it takes to abolish any amendment.

    Conservatives are obsessed with homosexual pornography and drag queens.

    Every time i hear or see either of those two things, it's because a conservative showed them to me.

    My kids wouldn't have access to that.

    Is this from the school where you kids go?

    Do you think we should regulate local school boards in places where we don't live? You want bigger government?

    How do you know? The school boards who approve it don't notify parents. It's part & parcel issues that gave us Louden County and Glenn Youngkin.
    Assuming facts not in evidence. That's an especially asinine strawman, even from you.

    Still can't bring yourself to condemn this kind of material in schools. Again, duly noted.

    Like i said, it's a local issue, and if you don't live there it isn't any of your business.

    That's a breathtakingly childish standard. I'll wager you don't live in Uvalde. You have no business talking about what happened there. I'm not Catholic, I guess I shouldn't weigh in on any of their scandals. I presume you have no problem with priests handing out copies of Genderqueer to altar boys. Right? Oh, wait - you're not there and not allowed to voice an opinion.

    Ye gods.

    It's a variation of the old liberal "chickenhawk" jive. Can't weigh in on defense policy if you're not a soldier. Can't sound off on education if you're not a teacher. It's nothing more than knee-jerk totalitarianism: silencing those who've dared to disagree with you. The other side sees free speech as the enemy.

    That has been the case since humans first walked the earth.

    I accepted that fact of life many years ago.

    From Reinhold Niebuhr in 1932:

    Lord grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change
    The courage to change the things I can
    And the wisdom to know the difference

    I can have an opinion on Uvalde, but no one in Uvalde should take my opinion into account when they are making decisions.

    I can have an opinion about religion, but no one who is religious should care what I think.

    No one in Virginia should care what I think, and I should have nothing to do with decisions made by local governments in Virginia.

    I already said that if that was available to my child, i would make sure that it wasn't available to them.

    So many strawmen, so little time. VA is the cited example because Loudon County & Glenn Youngkin put it into the national conversation. Everyone is talking about it, whether you like it or not. You are too, even though you say we shouldn't be. Hypocrite much?

    "No one should care" what I think about VA. And here you are - post after post wailing about what I think. You can't make this up, lol. Catching a lot of flak from you about the Genderqueer filth. I'm clearly over the target.

    And you still haven't condemned that kind material being permitted in any school anywhere. Again, duly noted.

    yes, everyone is talking about it.

    People often talk about things that are none of their business.

    I'm not going to condemn it being in any school anywhere, because education is managed at the state and local level, and if i don't live there it will never be any of my business.

    I don't condemn the Catholic Church for enabling pedophiles either. I don't condemn them from profiting over lies for 2000 years, either, because it's none of my business.

    I stated from the jump that libs will never condemn this kind of filth being peddled to kids. At least you're saying it out loud. I commend your honesty.

    It isn't change that is the problem it is placing crazy people who are in desperate need of psychological help in charge and acting like the rest of us are the ones that are nuts that is the problem. The Biden admin put a wack job that identifies as female in charge of spent nuclear fuel storage and the find out he's also a kleptomaniac that likes to steal women's clothing at airports.

    You are going to start seeing more trans people. You are just going to have to get used to it.

    Again, how would you know? School boards approve it without notifying parents. That's part of the problem.

    But that's only peripheral. You and your ilk are the crux of the problem. There are objective truths. Some issues are black & white. Grooming/pedophilia is evil. But you'll only notice it if it's in your own backyard. Any kid anywhere else is fair game.

    Where I live everything the school board does is public record.
