Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views. – William F. Buckley Jr
Recently a young leftist was ranting against the candidacy of Doug Ford for premier of Ontario… In the Canadian system, a premier of a province is roughly analogous to governor of a state. Ford’s sin? He isn’t a Liberal.
Ontario is Canada’s largest and formerly most prosperous province. 15 years of Liberal government later, it now boasts the highest per capita sub-sovereign government debt in the world… more than double that of California…
The young leftist decided to educate me on intolerance, claiming that it was his duty to protest against Ford to protect against Ford’s supposed intolerance. I asked how his intolerance of Ford was justified since there were no objective facts and even less evidence since his complaints were simply regurgitation of media & other leftist’s fantasies. The young leftist referred to the theory of the Paradox of Tolerance by Karl Popper. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance
I asked what objective standards he’d used to prove Ford was intolerant. As is unfortunately typical, it was all feels over facts so I walked away as he began to emotionally elevate.
We’ve raised a generation who lack the tools for critical thinking and it might be the destruction of western society…
PS: The American economy is booming… dig into your wallets, folks!! Push that bar!!
And another method of their oppression is to add all ofthe victimhoods together so they have a team effort in insisting that their “rights” and ‘ideas’ trump all others and are superior to all others.
Intersectionality. They think that it makes them winners because they have so many victim ideas backing them.

The One Finger Salute……..American Sign Language at its simplest. For the simplest minded.
And some people are so simplest minded that it takes both hands to express themselves.
Amazing, the love and tolerance of that sort.

Seems the left wants only to tolerate itself out of existence. Some of the left are so educated in mundane, yet are uneducated in reality.

Dear Chris – Your images have aways been outstanding. But, but ….. your political instincts lately have been “on Faaaahhhrrrrr!”
Good on ya!
I wonder if the ASL girl was interpreting or commenting.
In this case, the interpreting And commenting are the same.
It had to be, It was on TV news.
