If the groomers don’t want to be called groomers, then they can stop grooming... otherwise we are gonna call them what they are... sick perverted groomers

Me too. I do like your angle. Why women won’t stand up and defend themselves from this mass insanity has me shaking my head. Maybe if women thought about this in the terms you just described perhaps that might motivate them into action. Says a father of 4 daughters!

That is because the left ARE a bunch of groomers and child rapists.

They have absolutely no problem with actual groomers, just the word. They are truly an evil bunch.

Truth terrifies the Left, especially the child endangering ones.

If you think about it ...

LGBTQ+ is blatantly anti-hetero and anti-traditional marriage, - they don’t even have a letter. Use of the letters excludes and rejects hetero and traditionally minded folks. In practice, the latter are “welcomed” if they kowtow to the perverts, their agenda and practices.

The cat is out of the bag - grooming is a very important part of their cultural operation. This is another battle to control language, which then controls thought, which controls behavior and punishes those who step outside the controls. The right should continue to call them groomers. They own it.

How about poor Yorkie owners in a neverending quest to find a Groomer that understands you want a puppy cut for your pooch? What will they be called now? Dog Barbers? The idiocy of the few trying to control the language of the many. /S

Ok, waaaaaay off topic but..

Next to American Thinker, the best site on the internet has got to be Libs of TikTok

With all due respect Andrea, your site sucks.

Your editing is terrible, your authors repeatedly fail to do the most basic fact-checking or think things through before publishing them (more on that later), and for a while when you stopped letting people post comments to your articles, you gave no reason AND you smugly demeaned your customers:

Second, it’s lovely that many of you came here for the conversation in the comments. To have the comments abruptly turned off was the equivalent of our breaking up your party, the great party at which all the guests were interesting and delightful. We appreciate what an unpleasant shock and disappointment that was, and we hate to be the mean parent who broke up the party but, again, sometimes you have to do what you have to do. (emphasis added)

To be fair Andrea, the WORST "conservative" new media outlet is Gateway Pundit. But your steaming pile is a fast second place follower.

Indeed, in this here article, which basically posits that the left is trying to change the perception of the word "groomer" you write...

It's important to understand that the word “groomer,” a pejorative,

"Groomer" is NOT "a word or phrase that has negative connotations or that is intended to disparage or belittle". It is an accurate description of an act of deliberately establishing an emotional connection with a child to prepare them for sexual abuse. It's cut and dry, and in this context it's easy to see why lestists are enraged - it's a descriptive and accurate word with tremendous emotional attachment, that exposes them.

To be fair, some people use that word with a perjorative INTENT. But if "groomer" being perjorative hinges on the intent of the speaker, and as our editorial wizard Andrea writes ...

Nevertheless, leftists are now going after the word groomer because they claim it’s an anti-LGBTQ+ slur

...then the prosecution just successfully argued the case for the defense.

American Thinker is like that drunk uncle at the wedding, taking the mic at the toast and puking during the first dance. You are an embarrassment to Deplorables and anyone who cherishes the truth, freedom, and good writing.

And for the record, Free Republic is the BEST site on the internet.

I thought the “G” IS for Groomer.

Their bullsh*t might work on many lilly white emasculated American fathers and woke mothers, but the people pouring into the country from the third world aren’t gonna be so pliable. These groomers are gonna be cruisin’ for a bruisin’.

"LGBTQ++....Now they added a second “+”. Is that now Double Pedophile?"

The '+' is just shorthand for "and other assorted misfits".

The whole “transgender” nonsense is pushed by homosexuals out of a deep seated hatred of women (any psychiatrist worthy of the name will tell you such.)

Notice how women are dehumanized and degraded in the implementation of this perversion.

Stop calling them "groomers" and start calling them child rape and mutilation promoters.
It's less concise, but it's accurate and explicit.

Also start calling public schools "child rape camps".

Also see my tagline. :)

This is an excellent article. In comments, someone posted a 6 stripe-pretend rainbow flag, with the words, “Bullies gotta bully, Groomers gotta groom.”

OMG! Sometimes I’m real slow on the uptake. I just realized the whole point of pushing for drag queens in schools is because drag queens are teaching/modeling child grooming behavior. So, they’re aiming to legalize child sex now. Transgender activists are already taking away parents’ rights, saying the transgender child has rights.

I don’t remember “double plus good,” although it has been decades since I last read 1984.
