Profiles in Cowardice: "Soverign" Citizens



Which political party do you believe these people are part of and which orange tinged baboon do they worship?

You get three guess and the first two are wrong.

What have you all been binge watching this holiday season?

I'm going back to my childhood and have been binge watching MST3K. I loved every saturday night and felt so bad when the instrumental outro credits music played.

There is always a guilty pleasure when bullies get what's coming to them

This guy was one of my worst bullies in high school. He also wasn't bright. He tried to start a fight with me standing in front of down staircase.

He belittled me, called me a complete loser, and turned friends of mine against me. He, and most of my teachers, called me a failure. Most of my teachers said I would amount to nothing and would probably be in prison by 25 after flunking out of college.

This I am having a major guilty pleasure reading.

LA police kill teen girl while firing shots at male suspect

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles police fatally shot a 14-year-old girl who was inside a clothing store dressing room Thursday as they fired at a suspect who had assaulted a woman earlier, authorities said.

The male suspect was also killed in the police shooting, authorities said. The woman who had been assaulted was taken to the hospital with moderate to serious injuries.

The shots were fired around 11:45 a.m. at a Burlington store — part of a chain formerly known as Burlington Coat Factory — in the North Hollywood area of the San Fernando Valley.

Police initially responded to reports of a person being assaulted with a deadly weapon as well as reports of shots being fired, said Los Angeles police Capt. Stacy Spell at a news conference. Spell said officers opened fire when they saw the suspect assaulting another person.


Bets on nothing will happen to the police. Nothing like "trained" professionals with firearms not weighing the situation and putting innocent people in danger.

Something all people should watch: Twilight Zone's Death's Head Revisited

https://vimeo.com/31183266

There is an answer to the doctor's question. All the Dachaus must remain standing. The Dachaus, the Belsens, the Buchenwalds, the Auschwitzes – all of them. They must remain standing because they are a monument to a moment in time when some men decided to turn the Earth into a graveyard. Into it they shoveled all of their reason, their logic, their knowledge, but worst of all, their conscience. And the moment we forget this, the moment we cease to be haunted by its remembrance, then we become the gravediggers. Something to dwell on and to remember, not only in the Twilight Zone but wherever men walk God's Earth.

Trump Bandies About Anti-Semitic Tropes In Interview With Israeli Reporter

Source: Huff Post Via AOL

Former President Donald Trump made a jaw-dropping series of anti-Semitic claims about Jewish Americans controlling institutions of government and media in a new interview where he said evangelical Americans “love Israel more than the Jews in this country.”

“It used to be Israel had absolute power over Congress, and today I think it’s the exact opposite,” he said.

Trump had been speaking to Barak Ravid, an Israeli journalist for Axios who wrote a book on Trump’s Middle Eastern policies. Ravid discussed his conversation with the former president on a podcast called “Unholy: Two Jews on the News,” which aired a clip of the interview Friday.

Any lurking conservatives there? Let me explain something about your "freedoms."

The Bill of Rights is NOT absolute. Supreme Court cases have shown that.

Engel V. Vitale said schools cannot force prayer.
Schneck V. US said your freedom of speech cannot cause a clear and present danger for violence.
Hazelwood V. Kulheimer said school newspapers do not have 1st amendment free press protection.
NJ V. TLO lowered the 4th amendment from Probable Cause to Reasonable Suspicion in a school setting.
US V. Korematsu said in war time, certain people can be rounded up and detained as possible threats during war time

Your rights you yap about are not absolute, which brings me to the crux of my post.

When you enter a business, you are to follow their rules. See, Congress shall pass no law. . .it says nothing about private entities. When you enter a business, as long as their rules aren't discriminatory or a violation of law, you make an agreement to follow their rules in their establishment. If the business requires you to wear masks, you have the requirement to wear a mask, or go to another place to do your business. If your employer requires you to get vaccinated, you get vaccinated or you find another job. If a social media outlet deems your post is lies, bigoted, or violates their TOS, they have the right to delete it and possibly ban you.

Think of it this way. If you are a Republican and the Democrat's candidate wants to put a sign on your lawn, you can say no. You aren't violating the candidate's rights, since the candidate's rights end at your property line. If the HOA says no signs on lawns, they aren't violating your rights because you signed an agreement and a contract with the HOA when you bought the house. You can always move someplace else.

So, this "making me wear a mask is illegal and "a violation of my rights" concept you seem to believe has absolutely no standing in law or civil rights. Mask wearing is not a civil rights stand, and the non-vaccinated are not a protected class.

As I tell people, your free speech rights end at my doorstep and on my social media feeds. Same when you enter a business.

If you don't like it, work to end this preventable pandemic by just wearing a mask and getting the vaccine so the world can finally go back to normal. You're the vectors that now enabling a virus that seems easy (as all corona viruses are) to mutate into different strains. Like the annual flu virus or the common cold, no two flus and colds are the same. They mutate. It appears COVID19 does as well, and quickly at that.

Jesus didn't die for you not to protect yourself or to yap about oppression that isn't there. You want to know oppression? Go to North Korea or Burma. That's oppression. Go to Belarus and experience it firsthand. Go to Iran or Saudi Arabia and experience first hand. I have experienced oppression in my life, which is why I own a VPN and didn't talk religion or politics in public for 15 years.

You could be where I was when this all started, where if you did not wear a mask, the government put you in jail.

Just a word of advice. . .your constant "I'm being repressed" argument is as hollow as your entire political ideology. You won't listen because your media and corporate masters reinforce your latent prejudices and inane beliefs, but all of them ARE vaccinated. You're the one that will get sick. And as George Carlin said: "What will happen when some super virus comes along and turns your vital organs into liquid shit? I'll tell you what will happen. You're going to get sick and you're going to die because your f-ing weak and you have an f-ing weak immune system."

CNN: Dr Oz won't go on CNN for fear of upsetting Fox News

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/smerconish-says-dr-oz-refused-to-be-interviewed-on-cnn-for-one-reason/vi-AARO6pq?ocid=uxbndlbing

No article, just video

Now, is this what Pennsylvania wants? This fake snake-oil salesman that is afraid of journalists and would rather placate an echo chamber?

His run for Senate gets more inane by the day.

Fetterman for Senate! Big John all the way!

A simple question to anti-vaxxers

And if you are reading this, please understand the vaccines are medicine too!

Since you seem to be against medicine, would you be against taking penicillin for an infection or aspirin for a headache?

Would you be against muscle rubs for sore muscles?

Would you be against and prescription drug for ailments? How about chemo for cancer?

If you're diabetic, do you take insulin or metformin?

It's still being put into your body. Why are certain medicines okay for your "body," but others not?

To me, it would seem you should be consistent in your diatribes and pseudoscience drivel.

Asking all of you because if you aren't and take any medication, your arguments are really nothing more than narcissism and nihilism.
