Ya notice how those journalists were immediately cancelled??
See, here's the thing about Pride month:
- Thread starter vraiblonde
- Start date
And yet when you suggest they might look at another viewpoint their heads spin and they puke pea soup. Act like they've been hit with Holy water. "ARRRRGGGHHH! I don't want to listen to Nazis!!! RAAAAARRRRHHHHHH!"
Then they call us intolerant.

It's perplexing that they dont' really hear themselves.

Yup.
During the last few election cycles - a guy named Brandon Straka began a campaign which I thought would gain a lot of traction - and that was to tell former Democrats, like himself - that the Democrats weren't doing anything for him. And that's why he was going to "walk away". He was NOT espousing the Republican Party - he was just making the very good case that Democrats just use people like him - a gay man - as a useful idiot whose vote they could depend on - but never ever delivered on. Similar videos went up with other members - and I followed it.
I've always been conservative, but up until that time, I was a registered Democrat. My original reasoning was that a conservative Democrat was more likely to make real change in this country than a more liberal Republican. But they JUST KEEP GOING further left, and I'd had enough.
He's been effectively silenced and his movement is all but dead. Granted, he was present Jan 6 even though he didn't go into the Capitol, but that was enough. He's been cancelled.
Two things here -I don't care. Very few people care. It's like National Rutabaga Day - who cares? Let them have their parades and bumper stickers, how does that hurt you?
And this:
There are areas where it makes sense for Target et al to sell tranny clothes because they have a trans population to support it. If my city had a ton of trannies around I wouldn't think twice about Target selling weinerkinis. My city *does* have a decent size gay population and there will probably be something for Pride month that I may or may not hear about. But tranny clothes will sit on the hangers and grow dust.
Read the room, corporate America. Know your audience. Step out of your Democrat hivemind and stop pandering in deep red areas that think you're freaking lunatics.
(1) You are comparing a Day to a Month.
(2) You are comparing vegetables to fruits.

I've been really trying to understand this - at least - trying to grasp it from some OTHER parallel besides my experience in a cult.And yet when you suggest they might look at another viewpoint their heads spin and they puke pea soup. Act like they've been hit with Holy water. "ARRRRGGGHHH! I don't want to listen to Nazis!!! RAAAAARRRRHHHHHH!"

I suppose if we lived in some sci-fi universe where aliens were taking over the world, disguised as humans but intent on destroying us all - I certainly would feel completely justified silencing them, committing violence against them, discrediting them even with outright lies - I would do ANYTHING to shut them up and shut them down. I would fight them when they're right, fight them when they're wrong and never, ever compromise with them - because deep down, I'd believe they were out for the doom of mankind.
That's kind of how the left views it - cheating is ok. Making chit up and lying - that's ok. ALL OF IT is ok, because it stops the EVIL that is the right.
I think I'm a fool because there's still a part of me that thinks the truth is more powerful than lies. MOSTLY because usually, the truth doesn't require ridiculous contortion of facts to keep its story straight. Occam's Razor and all that.

True. So very true, we are a society now that is more corrupt and immoral than the Romans of the time of Commodus.

Well ain't you special
I have the T-shirt that says so.
What is it they say? A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes?
Lies are incredibly powerful when they're being peddled by people in a position of influence and power. The truth has no chance against that barrage.

Are you quoting Bill Clinton?
Is that about a dress and a cigar?
Associated Press surreptitiously drops claim about 'violent confrontations' over Target Pride merch
Just the News noticed the wire service made the claims in its own voice in the headline and first paragraph of the report posted Tuesday night, rather than attributing those claims to Target, despite providing no evidence of threats or violence. The story was widely carried in other media.
Those claims had disappeared a day later without a correction or editor's note. The revised headline states Target "suffer[ed] backlash for LGBTQ+ support," while the revised opening paragraph cited "intense backlash from some customers who confronted workers and tipped over displays."
AP still provided no evidence for those claims.
Some media changed the story to the surreptitiously corrected version, though the original headline still appears widely in search results. Other outlets kept the original, including The Hill, AOL, CBS News, Yahoo Finance and Fox 9 in Target's home base of Minneapolis.
The propaganda had already done it's job.
None of those that spread the story for them will correct it either.
