But let someone post something on Facebook and you get carted off to the loony bin.
You on target. In California the pejorative adjectives/adverbs started during the Reagan Years. Then during the Clintoon/Goron years their use and intensity picked up. Now during Obama’s years, they are used all the time.
“I have noticed for over a decade, that any suggestion or action taken by anyone who is Conservative/Republican, always has a pejorative adjective/adverb in front of it. Controversial; extreme; etc. It makes me think that the news writers all attended the same Left-wing school. But I really think that all Schools of Journalism have inculcated their students in the Leftist mindset.”

I happen to be in CA right now. I’m moving my 99 year old Mom into assisted living. On moving day, I wore my red Chik-fil-a shirt with my jeans. I got 8 thumbs up at breakfast at the hotel from folks from Southern CA, but when I stopped at Office Max across the street, I was verbally assaulted by the young Mexican American female clerk.
I wish that I’d had more time to talk to her, but the conversation went like this.
Clerk: “Do you know what that shirt means?”
Me: “Yes, I do. That is why I’m wearing it.”
Clerk: “No, do you know what happened earlier this month?”
Me: “Yes I do. We have freedom of speech and freedom of religion. The majority rules in this country.”
Clerk: “Well, that is changing.”
Me: “I don’t think so”...and I was out the door.
I wish that I’d had more time to educate this young woman, who obviously did not learn anything about either the Constitution, or business in school, but I had a lot to do that day. She said nothing to me the next day when I showed up in my Yorktown shirt bearing the Betsy Ross flag.
It makes me want to puke on my keyboard but she's right.
So....vandalism is OK as long as you’re not motivated by hate? What an interesting standard. I guess they determined this just by asking him. [/s]
Only straights can hate, but at least a straight can throw another fagot on the fire to keep warm.
I wouldn't have left without costing her that clerk job. She does not have freedom of speech in employment.
I know quite a few people who live in CA. Many (if not all) of them used to be conservative; now few are (maybe 20%). They seem to have gone over to the dark side. I’m not sure if its a case of legitimate choice, brainwashing or just pretending under to “get along”. But, I don’t think its the latter ‘cause they express these views even in 1:1 conversations with me (e.g., when no one is eavesdropping). Anyway, must be something in the water.
I love those homophobic waffle fries.
Hate Crimes are Though Crimes, regulated by Mind Police...

We have lived in N California since 1971. We no longer are stunned, amazed or duhhe when supposedly long time conservatives become out and out flaming liberals.
Many after retiring from somewhat conservative companies or bosses, have admitted being liberals all along and played the conservative game until they retired.
One told us he got tired of fighting with his liberal wife, adult children and neighbors in left wing Marin county. Interesting his formerly Uber liberal wife has nothing good to say about Obama.
We have yet to see a long time liberal become a conservative. The husband of a liberal teacher often seems like the old time democrat. He will listen to our challenges of the greens. He and his wife have become very outspoken and anti illegal aliens. They are the paradox couple. They believe in personal responsibility, and their 40 something adult children are very outspoken conservatives owning their own businesses. Yet, they have never voted for a Republican for president or governor. Her family became FDR lovers, and he grew up as a liberal in San Francisco. None of their political beliefs match their realities.
Washington=Madrid, 1936.
I thought about going back and re-engaging her, but I just didn’t have time. To me, however, it was an eye-opening realization about CA education.
You must remember that the MAYOR of Los Angeles is the UCLA activist who has promoted La Raza all of his life.
2 wrongs do not make a right.
the whole system needs to be HONEST and to eliminate double jeopardy for being tried twice for 2 different crimes which are really the same crime is cheating our constitutional rights.

In one case, my “friend” is a show-biz comedy writer who was once a conservative stand-up comedian. He may just be pretending to be liberal, but who really knows? He doesn’t even manage a wink when he says the ridiculous things he says to me in private over drinks.
One hard lesson I’ve learned over the years is that its impossible to really understand other people. So...it is what it is and people do what they do.
