The Ultimate Gesture of American Incivility (Pence lectured to by cast of Broadway show)
American Thinker ^ | November 19, 2016 | Patricia McCarthy

Posted on 11/19/2016 5:50:06 AM PST by NYer

Tonight Mike Pence went to see the Broadway hit musical, Hamilton.  He was roundly booed by an audience of  ill-mannered theater-goers. Who knew that people who can afford thousands of dollars (that is what it costs) to see a play about Alexander Hamilton could be so abominably rude. While a few people cheered him, most were booing.  This is the low point to which the intolerant left has brought us; very low.

To add insult to injury, Brandon Victor Dixon, the actor who plays Aaron Burr, the man who murdered Hamilton in a duel and became a traitor to America, delivered an ill-informed lecture to Pence at the show's end. Can't we all visualize this group of privileged rich actors composing their insulting rant backstage during the performance?  He said he and his cast members are "alarmed," as though the country just elected a tyrant.  He ranted about "diversity," as though Trump and Pence are actually all the things the "fake news" lefty media say they are.  

This crowd has been so thoroughly indoctrinated by the MSM, they are  more afraid of a Trump administration than they are of ISIS. This can only be explained by ignorance of essential facts - as Governor, Mike Pence believed in religious freedom and was excoriated for  it. But so uninformed are these people, they do not know that their beloved Obama has effected a soft tyranny these past eight years.  He has governed by fiat, going around Congress most of his two terms. He has transformed America in countless ways and many millions of  Americans just fought back with their votes. Shouldn't the privilege of wealth bring with it responsibility - the responsibility to be cognizant of essential facts?  This audience and this cast are an American embarrassment.

So rude, so unconscionable was this theatrical  show of solidarity with the intolerant Left, perhaps all of Broadway should be boycotted by sentient people.

In the book “In Conquest Born”, there is a group that is being driven to extinction by the master race, having an enforced religion that makes celibacy the greatest act of faith, punishes having a child by members of that caste.
A number of members escape via space ship and found a new colony, but it was odd that someone could think it was a sin to create new children. But when your people have lived for years as an inferior caste, being driven to extinction deliberately when the environment is failing ...
Now it sounds like environmentalism, teaching people that they are at best caretakers of the Earth and allowed 1-2 replacements, many shouldn’t have children at all. Add in doom and gloom, terrifying projections so that many think it is immoral to bring a child into the world.
Now you get Europeans where 1/3 of college educated women are childless, whereas Muslims with a different ideology have a birth rate over 3 children per woman.

In light of everything that is on the banned list, here is a public service announcement as to where we CAN shop:
* Chick-fila
* Hobby Lobby
* local church store
* Dave Ramsey’s website

Anything anyone wants to add to this list?

...as far as the cast being "diverse", it's only "diverse" if "diversity" means, "no whites".

That is exactly what it means — now.
