Oh Jesus, that’s not socialism, nor is it an attack. If it was socialism the government/public/corpus/body would interfere with an individual’s decision what to buy, consume or produce . If anything it served as a perfect example of what socialism is not. The individual right to determine not the public or corporation what to buy, consume or sell.

Feel free to drink all the bud light and bake all the gay wedding cakes you want, or not. Either way I don’t care what you do. In capitalist economy there will always be someone ready to meet demand. Its in the socialist society where the government/public controls the means of production and forces people to do things which go against their honest heartfelt convictions

I don't drink any Anheuser-Busch products for a simple reason.
It's NOT an American owned company.

Does that make me unpatriotic and a LGBTQ hater?
Or I'm being patriotic and buying American?
I'm confussed cause there's double standards involved.

And the last time I had anything with a Rainbow on it was a box of Lucky Charms.

I don’t how, but it seems that to some it makes you a socialist and an extremist.

Anyone that is comitted to only one side? Well, nuff said.
Anyone that does not agree with this side or that side? Again you've said enuff.

You obviously decided you are ONLY interested in one side. Nothing I could say would have you look at me any differently. You've commited to your views.

And that OK by me. Your allowed to do that and I served to protect that Right.
I was one of those people that would have died protecting your rights.

Now that is closer to name calling than the term small government conservative. I'm surprised anyone would consider that term offensive.

I'm committed to the freedoms this country's Constitution and Bill of Rights allows. If you think that's one sided, you're right.

You obvious don't have a grasp of the true meaning of Wit.

Are you kidding me?

EVERYTHING is offensive to someone now days!!
I use to call Cigarettes "Fags". Say your gonna go puff on a Fag now a days and see what happens!
"Gay" use to mean in a Happy way. Call your neighbor Gay once and see how that works out for you.

Lord help us when ET's actually land and object to the term "Alien".

It helps if you use an emoji so I can tell you are being sarcastic.

[Jeff-Groves]

Well. Calling me or assuming I am MAGA is a BIG insult! I'm probably middle of this so called scale you (And others) prefer.

Left, Right, WTF? Should the Media come up with a new term that describes me (or already has one)? It's probably as bent and warped as all the others.

Oh and by the way tovarish what books are being banned?

[Buddahaid]

Sorry I was in my workshop fabricating parts for my Make-Em-Gay mind control projector.

I now apologize again for painting one as MAGA.

Book bans at schools in Florida and Texas come to mind.

Sorry Tovarich I should have been more specific especially since you don’t even live in Florida.
What books have been banned in the state you live in California? Quick glance and I already came across Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men, Theodore Taylor's The Cay and Mildred D. Taylor's Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.

Some removed in certain California schools on account of black parents concerns over what their black children were exposed to. Like in every state it is based on the concerns of parents whose children attend the schools in question. It should not be left up to the government, public body or special interest groups.

Parents have concerns and their should be the priority. Unless of course you believe you have more rights to what someone else’s children are exposed to than their own parents.

You don't understand Rockstar, liberals don't have a problem banning some books, just the ones that indoctrinate children in deviant lifestyles.

Oh apparently you didn’t get the memo. He’s not a liberal, just a page back Tovarich declared himself a conservative and it’s the so-called right wing that are the communists now. Yet here he is thinking he, special interest groups and the state knows better than the parents what their children should be exposed to in the schools their children attend.
