I think its beneficial to point out how quickly paradigms can shift.

What used to fit under the definition of liberal will now get you labeled as a conservative. 

To expound upon this a bit:

 - Wanting to hold govt to fiscal responsibility and accountability is now labeled as a conservative talking point. 

- Not wanting kids to be Frankensteined is now labeled as a conservative talking point.

- Pointing out the clear and obvious two tiered justice system is now labeled as a conservative talking point.

- Not wanting experimental drugs forced upon a population with threats of loss of employment, fines and censorship of speech (this went beyond threats to blatant actions) is now labeled as a conservative talking point.

- Pointing out the crazy amounts of propaganda being churned out by media is now a conservative talking point.

- Voting for people outside of the duopoly and saying that you wish more people would is now considered a conservative talking point.

- Not wanting continuous wars is now labeled as a conservative talking point.

- Saying you believe in equality instead of parity is now labeled as a conservative talking point.

In fact, these were all considered to be liberal values not very long ago. Definitions don't usually change that quickly, but paradigms do. 

Hell, it's so ridiculous that calling somebody a conservative doesn't even have the sting that is intended anymore. Its a complete lack of understanding and critical thinking that drives this behaviour. It's remarkable at how easily this was done because it didn't rely on force. All it required was volunteers for the job.

It was part of the investigation into the lunatics who stormed the Capitol.  It’s not a Big Brother conspiracy that Fox News stumbled upon.


See, that wasn't difficult.

I had the same two nights off as my dude so this weekend he helped me fight off a bunch of multi-floral rose briars (anybody familiar with farms will understand the struggle) and attended a family event, but it's great to see the irk levels remain pretty even.

What's happening with the news?

Off the grid, eh?  Well you seem well-informed in spite of that.  How this particular story got by you, I don’t know.  The good news is you now know it and can take appropriate action.


Which is what I did. I brought it here to see if a conversation would come from it and apparently you could only reply about the poster instead of the post. It's typical.

lol your idea of having a conversation is posting long diatribes of something you read somewhere that usually isn’t relevant to the conversation or is about something that wasn’t said. But since you have this idea or conversation you want to have, you say it anyway… but carry on 


Dude you can't even recognize when somebody is making specific points to specific people. You just demonstrated this inability with your prior post.

Who knows how you missed it  As seemingly much time as you spend scouring news sources in search of stuff to be pissed about, this was a major fail.




I don't watch any television, don't get any newspaper and have limited internet time because of my work schedule and the farm I live on. Which, maybe, explains why I am two months behind on finding out about it.  And I only heard about it by hearing an ad on the radio that was done by Ron Paul.

Please, stop while you're behind.

The point is that who cares what Ben Shapiro thinks.  I hope on that we can agree.


If you don't care then don't reply and wait for a post that interests you.

OR

Better yet, post something that catches your attention. 

But if being as adept at conversation as geeblock is your intention, by all means, carry on.

Look at the date - almost two months ago.  I remember seeing it, and the fact you haven't heard anything more is probably a nothingburger.  Even Jim Jordan isn't crying about it.

My guess is it was a very narrow, legal search focused on those purchases in the DC area around Jan. 6.  Likely used to identify people in photos that they were seeking to arrest.

As far as searching for keywords maga and trump goes, you've got a good point. But it does not follow that buying religious texts fits into that nothing burger. If by buying religious texts lumps you into any kind of extremists or target of the govt - Books A Million would be a hub of terrorism.

And really, who is shocked that medias would skip over this, especially after we've had 7+ years now of media saying things like "Putin is weaponizing puppies!"

And why am I just discovering this?

CenterBHSFan replied to "Biden vs. Trump 2024" at 01:41 pm

Anybody else sick of all the talk about polling? Have we not learned the lesson from the past two election cycles?

Polling again has Trump > Biden and its just not going to happen. Again.

When I first read your post, I thought what a crock of partisan shit. Then I went back and read it, and I thought to myself self there’s some validity to this.. it seems as though they are hiring these people to add credibility to something that has no credibility. So I apologize for thinking that you were an asshole when I was reading it like one..

1.) Well I am an asshole, no need to apologize!

2.) Thanks for taking the time to reread something to make sure you had a clear understanding of something. The past few days have been filled with people not doing that. Clearly.

We need to stop letting big pharma advertise on every commercial breaks. I think that's a good start. If people never knew how much BP ( big pharma in this case) were involved in writing domestic policy before covid, they should have gotten their eyes peeled open during covid. BP is openly salivating anticipating people to work more. It isn't so much about depleting social security at this point as it is about $ for BP. They will not give up that power now that they openly have it.

I agree with several of the possible  solutions listed, but that still won't be enough. IMO, time to start redirected future war money to be utilized domestically.

Ben Shapiro, who probably has the softest hands on YouTube, is now also calling to raise the retirement age past 67; barring physical ailments. 

The total disregard for the blue collar class by people with soft hands is catching like wildfire until even Contards have picked it up. While I agree with Shapiro on a few topics, this is the drop off point where he loses favor with people like myself. It's a classism that captures the elite and those with pretensions of elitism.

Imagine telling mechanics, nurses, plumbers, garbage men, the service industry, all the people whose health takes a direct hit way before they even turn 60, that they must continue marching like ants because the people with soft hands won't have the same problems that they do and said so. 

To be fair, if my occupation (or "occupation") was podcast-hosting weenie, I'd never want to retire, either. All I'd have to do is run my mouth about whatever faux-outrage topics pop into my head and occasionally do something wacky like co-perform on the world's worst rap song with some talent-deficient nobody for the lulz, while watching the money roll in.

I think MSNBC is almost completely comprised of former government officials (lol). CNN has a bunch and even FOX has some. I'd like to know who was the first person who thought that former government officials were the perfect choice to be an employee of any type of news network. It immediately, imo, eradicates the idea of a free press.

How will Ben Shapiro affect this change?


I’m not against retirement moving back as life expectancy changes.  Retirement was never part of the human experience until well into the 20th century.  This business of 20-30 year retirements is only a few decades old.  


I’m clouded by personal opinion as I think retirement, unless very carefully filled with meaningful activities, is extremely unhealthy. 


This is a useless and rather stupid question since nowhere in my post did I suggest that Shapiro made policy. I did, however, give my opinion on the IDEA. See how those two things are not the same? 

Ok, good. Now we can move forward utilizing a message board in the manner it's normally used. I gave my opinion and then after a moment of fuckery, you gave yours. 

YAY!

So now medias are feeling the need to call the Haitian cannibals as 'non-substative cannibals'.

I'm guessing because it's rude to just call them cannibals, the distinction has to be made that they eat other meats too.

I know a lot of the media is left wing crap.  I also believe a lot of the audience of left wing outlets are people who aren’t left wing, but are looking to be outraged.  


Ok
