Why the Lefty Mob Is Gunning After the Texas Rangers

The political correctness mob is now coming after professional baseball. This was on the horizon. When the lefty mob scalped the Washington Redskins, whose new name is unknown, this was bound to happen. If you give the Left an inch, they'll take several hundred miles. You cannot give an inch of land. The same applies to statues. This wasn't about Confederate statues, folks. Any person could see the long game here. The Confederacy was the flank march to move against the real target: The Founding Fathers. This nation's history is the target.

The Left wants to erase it—all of it. Any figure with a problematic past has to be wiped off the map. The "woke" ethos is unbearable. There's no nuance. By design, it's meant to wipe clean almost everything, to finally smear America as a racist country that has done untold harm to the world. And the Texas Rangers are part of that embodiment.

The op-ed in The Washington Post, written by Global Opinions editor Karen Attiah, declares the team name "must go" because of its sordid history:

Humanity itself has a “sordid history”. What’s Karen’s final solution to that problem?

The answer is contained in the question.

The “final solution” would be to get rid of everyone except a new “Adam and Eve”...Of course that would be a battle because each race and ethnicity would want to be “Adam and Eve”...Another war over that...

I agree with you on that, and part of my ancestry is Choctaw.

Just because one is offended doesn’t mean one is right.

This is why you never, ever apologize or acquiesce to the left for anything.
...........................................
One of the major lessons of human history is that whenever individuals and/or institutions apologize or acquiesce to lawlessness THEY ARE DOOMED! If this isn’t brought to a screeching halt a whole lot of people are going to die. Take it to the bank!

They went after a western NY high school after that name last year. Think they forced a change due to a handful of people complaining.

Each time they win, they gain power — regardless of whether it is a statue, a street name, a city name, a building name, a sports team name.

Whether they win or lose on a particular ‘concern’, they will wake up tomorrow with the intent of going after something/someone else.

They will never satisfied. NEVER. Look at how many cower at their coming.


AMEN!

Why? Because they can and it doesn't seem anyone pushes back.

BLM supports abortion. That means they support Black genocide. How is genocide more acceptable than slavery?

“Since Roe v. Wade legalized abortion in 1973, abortion has killed an estimated 20 million black babies — more than the entire black population of 1960. How does this benefit the black community?”

Ruth Bader Ginsberg was asked on CSpan about Roe v Wade. She said at the time of the decision, it was thought that “certain groups should not procreate”. Margaret Sanger and Planned Parenthood apparently agreed.

Change the name of Planned Parenthood to Planned Genocide. And change the term Abortion to Dissecting Black Babies for Dollars. And tell BLM to change their name to HYPOCRITE and take a flying leap out of the 27th floor of a skyscraper. and tell the author of this opinion that she's insane and turn her over to the psych ward-she's a danger to herself and others.

Marty Robbins sang it right. “Texas Ranger with a big iron on his hip.”

The Lone Ranger wasn’t lonely. He had his Indian. I guess that made him a racist.

Andrew Cuomo, on the other hand, changed the name of the Tappan Zee Bridge, which was named after the Tappan Indians that used to inhabit that area, to the Mario Cuomo Bridge, which is named after his father — a whte male. I also note that Andrew Cuomo hates black disabled people as evidenced by his behind the scene maneuvers to knock David Paterson — a blind, black man — off the democratic ballot for Governor so that Cuomo could run in his place.

And some pasty faced suit in Ranger HQ will probably cave just like all the other yellow corporate pukes.
