If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books, you're afraid of thinking.

1. I love that you're giving us the text of the tweets! Thank you.

[applegrove]

2. Yes I try. For the ones who don't want to join Twitter and can't open the links.

3. Agree. I raised this point on another thread and was chastised.

If someone's going to post a link to another site that requires logging in and harvests your information, please take the time to synopsize the content.

Even better, find a non-twitter/facebook/etc. source and post that.

4. Banning and especially burning books is the pinnacle of ignorance.

What could one be so insecure/afraid of that a book requires banning? god.

[gratuitous]

5. I tend to agree

But I think the next step in the process will be these odious motherfuckers insisting that their own books now be carried in every bookstore and library. Books like the Turner Diaries and Protocols of the Elders of Zion, as well as new turds they shit out to Regnery or some other fascist publisher.

6. Please, that woman is a very small part of Colorado!

An awful lot of us hope that she will be out of Congress soon.

8. "Painted by a broad brush", as it were. You have my sympathy and we all share your hope.....

.....that Bang-Bang Boebert goes into the dustbin of history in the near future.

12. She's being opposed by

Adam Frisch, who appears to be a good man and a good Democrat.

I'm not ib her district either, but I am in Lamborn's, and then there's Buck. Those three districts look huge ... but fortunately land doesn't vote - they are small in population.

9. A VERY small part...

and her district was recently RE-districted, so she could have a real fight on her hands.

I live in the district next to hers, and we celebrate Banned-Book Week, which started yesterday.

7. Nice, but

Wellington in at the north end of the Front Range, in Larimer County.

Boebert and her troglodyte constituents are on the Western Slope, in a completely different Congressional district.

10. Just get rid of ALL the books! Fill every library...

...with Trump merch. Then burn THOSE down!

[hlthe2b]

11. Very pleasantly surprised.

[BlueJac]

13. That is fantastic, support free thinking!
