I’m not offended at all that you are offended that he’s offended. You may find that offensive.

Where exactly is our right not to be offended enumerated in the Constitution?

Now the left has made an incursion into Halloween, a set of bizarre superstitions practiced by many people in October. The left just wants to eliminate another aspect of our culture.
I have no use at all for this aspect of our culture, but damn the left for trying to eliminate it.

Being the vengeful pr*ck I am, if Millie had done this to me, in the 1st place the dummy would still be hanging - AND I would have immediately searched for every Lawn Jockey I could find and place them prominently on my front lawn. And if possible have them all face her house.

That'd give Millie and the NAACP something else to be offended by.
