Cancel Culture

Why do progressives have to implement a scorched-earth policy when it comes to this so-called "cancel culture"?

Up until about two weeks ago, nobody had any issues with the writings of Ted Geisel, known to countless generations as Dr. Seuss. He had been, for nearly three quarters of a century, the yardstick to which all other children's books were measured. His books made reading fun. There isn't a single soul reading this post right now who has not, in some way, been impacted by Dr. Seuss. Most of us, and our children, our grandchildren, and many even great grandchildren, learned to read using books written by Ted Geisel. 

Some Thoughts About 6 Jan

Many of the thoughts here are composites of other folks across the internet and blogosphere. The thoughts are my own, but I freely admit seeing and using many sources as inspiration.

How do Republicans and Trump benefit from what happened at the Capitol building? Nearly everyone of us conservatives know, beyond a shadow of doubt, the media and progressives will bend over backwards to portray us as any kind of lunatics. We make every effort to ensure we exercise our right to free speech and to peaceably assemble in a manner to reflects well. Burning buildings, violent assaults, are not in our best interests. That is the arena of progressives. Can any of you honestly say you are aware of any conservative focused protests that turned violent to this level? Of course, many progressives will say words are violent, so anything a conservative says that a progressive disagrees with will be considered conservative violence perpetrated by a conservative. For you I say boohoo.

Lets compare movements from the not so distant past. Most of you remember the Tea Party movement as well as the Occupy "Something" movement. Both had large gatherings in several locations during that time. Both had keynote speakers that kept the crowds enthralled. Both had music and famous folks. But this where the similarities end. Not a single Tea Party gathering devolved, while the Occupy people burned buildings, assaulted outsiders and innocents. Tea Party gatherings left the locations cleaner than when they arrived while Occupy left devastation in its wake.

The Dirty, Nasty Comparison (UPDATE)

Very Long Post

UPDATE at the bottom of the post.

The other day a friend of mine sent me an e-mail that was supposedly written by a Professor of history named David Kaiser. I thought about posting the e-mail on my blog as it was really interesting to read. However, I tend to try and accomplish due-diligence whenever I see something attributed to “whomever”.

BTW: if you send me stuff, I will use it. But be careful, I do research what I receive.

After doing some very basic Yahooing, I found Professor Kaiser. He has a blog titled “History Unfolding”. Almost from the get-go, I realized this guy could not have written the contents of what was contained in the e-mail. The contents of the email where very much against Obama, but Kaiser’s blog content when comparing it to the email was, in his own words “…are in many ways the opposite of my own.” (Source: Snopes) In other words, there is no way Kaiser could have written the email. He is too far left.
