... a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

 Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure....

Well, we managed to squeeze another 150 years out of it but the Republic is good and truly *expletive deleted*ed.


If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Samuel Adams

This is the best thing ever. If we needed more evidence that the New, New Left is more puritanical than the Puritans, this is some of that evidence. (And we do not need more evidence.)

When I was growing up, a controversial movie would come out, and the social conservatives would register their disapproval. It made headlines, and some theaters would decline to show that film. Now, the same thing happens, only it's the social justice warriors' opinions that make the news. "This movie's racist!" "This movie's sexist!" "Rape culture!"

I want to know who is responsible for providing ME with a safe space where I can be protected from reading or hearing about micromanagers who constantly whine about microaggressions and microassaults and microinsults and microinvalidations.

WHO? I am deeply offended by all this SJW claptrap, and I demand to be protected from it. Who is going to protect me?

Having once lived in a law student-only apartment building, I think I would have appreciated this rule.  Would have kept me from having to listen to a bunch of the liberal/commie babble I had to endure in common areas far too often.   :lol:

NSFW language warning.  Video of J.D. Durkin commenting on the University of Chicago refusing to create safe spaces, and his overall comments on the issue ring true to everything we say around here.  Just interesting to see someone who professes to be a liberal telling college students to grow up.  Enjoy!

It's a good thing I'm not in college anymore.

I'd have taken such as a challenge, skipped the whole micro part and gone into straight up verbal aggression, insult, assault and invalidation mode.

... Actually, maybe I should go back to college. Those brats wouldn't know what hit them. I could probably have them catatonic within an hour or so.  >:D

A while back, one of the younger (and more annoying) scouts in the troop found out I'm a veteran.   He was standing there with his mom (typical helicopter/soccer mom) and he asked me how many people I had killed when I was in the Army.

Before his mother could say anything to hush him.  I looked right at him with my best steely eyed stare and replied. "What makes you think I'm done?"


I thought she was going to faint. 
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

My public speaking class was entertaining; me, three fresh-from-the-Army vets and a kid catching up some basics to get his grades good enough for the university with an ROTC program among a dozen or so typical college kids thinking it would be an easy A.

The five of us aced that class, partly because I think the professor loved seeing what colors the rest of the class would turn when one of us was speaking...and what colors any of them would turn when they gave a pro-socialism/abortion/gun control/other SJW crap speech and all of us were conferring on what order we'd go in to tear them apart during the followup Q&A session.  Their own attempts on us got so pathetic we'd designate a contrarian among ourselves each class just to have something to debate a bit.
