Conservative free speech: "I'm free to say anything I want to anyone I want at any time I want and you're free to agree and tell me how brave and wonderful I am to say it."

Remember when the Fan Man flew into the ropes at Caesars Palace during Holyfield v Bowe II? That’s a paraglider story I’d rather think about. It’s heartbreaking all the violence in the Middle East.

DeSantis knows he won't face consequences due to qualified immunity.

I'd be surprised if there aren't directly relevant court cases about student organizations. But then lots of things surprise me.

I'm sure there are, but did they happen on a cloudy Wednesday afternoon in October?

State schools = First Amendment applies. Wonkette and my house with little asshole tweens/teen (and businesses and social networks and friends and and AND) = That's not the First Amendment.

"Free speech" against the government is protected. The rest of the fallout in your business or community? Nope.

I wonder if he knows that only a very small percentage of Palestinians are terrorists, war criminals, and members of Hamas.

Nah, jk. I don’t wonder that. He’s not capable of that kind of nuance.

Let's just hope he's ignorant enough of history to not use the tools that Ohio National Guard deployed against campus dissent.

The Republican Party should be defined as a terrorist organization and treated accordingly.

He's gotta support Israel no matter what because Jerusalem has to stay around until the Second Coming when all the Good Christians get to watch all the Bad Jews die in horrible ways, and then they will get to take over that Holy Land.

The Holy Land doesn't have any oil. What's in it for us?

A front row seat to Jesus vs the Devil. Afterwards the true believers get raptured up to heaven, while those left on earth will either throw a party the assholes are gone, or the assholes will wonder why everyone else got raptured to their version of heaven, and they are left on the hellscape they made of the earth.

We are talking about people who identify as Christians who believe they are the ones who should own the Holy Land at the end of the world. Oil will no longer matter - only the winning. I can't explain it any more than that, because it is not a part of my personal Christian belief.

As a wanna-be terrorist himself, DeSantis probably didn't want the competition.

To recap:

On the one hand, we can't trust American (((Jews))) because they secretly -- but obviously! -- have a higher loyalty to Israel than to America.

On the other hand, we should further elevate DeSantis because... he has a higher loyalty to Israel than to American ideals.

Yes, that makes perfect sense... 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I remember reading (because I'm not _that_ old) about people who said, "We can't elect JFK because he's Catholic and will answer to the Pope and not the American people!"

Funny how the current crop of Republicans bends the knee to the Catholic Church's demands for no abortion rights, period.

Nah, that's just them happening to agree on one issue, which is that women aren't fully human beings.

Fender Deluxe's avatar

Yeah, true! Evangelical Christians hate Catholics, and the converse is true, more than Shi'a hate Sunni.

And they all have strong negative opinions about Jews.
