When talking about Islamic terrorism, the guide requires people to avoid the use of the words “extremist,” “militant,” “terrorist,” “radical,” “fundamentalist,” “cult,” “sect,” “devout” and “pious.”

Why be redundant? Just say Muslim or Islam, and the rest is implied.

Michigan State exists for kids too stupid to be accepted to UM. Not that UM is any less Marxist, they’re just smarter Marxists.

We’ve lost. That ship sailed a long time ago. Don’t cling to this life that hard.

Cling to Jesus’s robe.

Just when I thought we’ve reached peak “idiocracy”.

Haven’t seen anything yet. This is still just the tip of a vast iceberg of idiocracy.

Honestly I can’t argue with you. I don’t see a way to long term victory.

The children (as a majority) are turning left, look at the huge anti-gin pro-woke marches at Vanderbilt university lately.

Our birth rates are stable at best, and immigration is bringing in huge numbers of new Dems. (amazing as even some here on FR still regurgitate that antiquated nonsense about the benefits of mass immigration)

The media is largely theirs.

The education System is theirs.

Even much of religion is going woke. Example did you hear the story on the trans Lutheran minister that said the Nashville shooter was like Jesus?

I’d really like someone to explain, short of a miracle, the path to turning this around.

Liberal “educated” morons. Enough of this crap (or is that word banned)?

Yes. I will remember not to use those bad words the next time I am visiting Michigan State. Oh wait, nobody goes there anymore. May they close their doors permanently.

This is what happens when people have too much time on their hands and are too fat, dumb and happy, they think up crazy crap like this.

Everything you said is spot on. Fortunately, I’ve read The Book and I know how this ends.

There will be no peace until the Prince of Peace returns.

Does the style book have any recommendations about rap lyrics, and which words are acceptable there?
