of innocent, unborn children (or so they say), but they don't want to protect the lives of those children once they're sent off to school and are at risk of becoming a victim of a school mass shooting.

sure what that would be called, maybe in-your-face-liminal messages???

Sometimes I tune in to FoxNews just to see what odious lies they're spewing now, and I hear them repeat slogans and catchphrases just a ridiculously large number of times. For example (I made this example up):

Hannity: And then there's Hunter Biden's laptop. Hunter Biden's laptop is a clear example. The example of Hunter Biden's laptop is SUCH a clear example that no other example other than Hunter Biden's laptop even approaches the disgraceful corruption that Hunter Biden's laptop represents. If it's not Hunter Biden's laptop, it's Hillary Clinton's emails, which are ON Hunter Biden's laptop in a folder titled "Hunter Biden's laptop's Hillary Clinton emails" . . .

But I do agree 1,000 percent that action and sacrifice are more important than catchy slogans.
