    And this remembrance will not change a single thought you have about these individuals — that are drag queens, not transgender. If you are going to use fun insults try to at least use the correct one.

    You still didn’t answer the question.

    You said you don't support tax exempt organizations.

    Well, not so fast.

    OUT ON A LIMB: These Aren’t Tommy Lasorda’s Dodgers.

    'Beer drinkers are starting to realize that the people who run the beer business don’t like beer drinkers very much. Now baseball fans are getting similar signals from the people who run baseball. Major League Baseball moved the All-Star Game out of Atlanta in 2021 to make a poorly considered political point. The Cleveland franchise surrendered its Indians name to the woke mob.'

    'Most Americans are happy to live and let live. The Sisters of the Perpetual Indulgence have their agenda and in a free country that’s all fine and good. But why do the Dodgers need to let Sister T’aint a Virgin prance around the bases looking like a flabby Kirk Gibson in habit and cornette? Everyone is already welcome at the ballpark. It feels un-American to force-feed culture-war politics alongside the peanuts and Cracker Jack.'

    'The O’Malley family owned the Dodgers from 1947-97. They were known for doing things the “Dodger Way.” That meant professionalism and class, on and off the field. Vin Scully, the team’s longtime radio announcer, personified the Dodger Way. So did Jackie Robinson, Duke Snider, Gil Hodges, Sandy Koufax, Steve Garvey, Orel Hershiser, Mike Piazza, Andre Ethier and Tommy Lasorda.'

    'The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence aren’t classy. They’re obnoxious and gross. They don’t belong in the Dodger lineup.'

    'Somewhere, the ghosts of the Weimar Republic are looking down and suggesting that American elites might want to dial the debauchery down a notch or ten.'

    "I would take a charity that gives back to its community and is a verified charitable organization any day over one that pays zero taxes while hoarding assets, is automatically exempt with no reporting and has a massive pedophile issue. Wouldn’t you?"

    How did you get that I don’t support charities from that? I just support them being accountable

    That's not what said. You said you don't support groups who don't pay taxes. The sisters don't pay taxes.

    False, you said “You said you don't support tax exempt organizations” and you are unable to show a source showing me saying that.

    I said I don’t like ones that don’t have to prove they are a charity and can only exempt charitable expenses instead of just being given complete exemption just from existing.

    The non-profit system is so abused, like the Clinton Foundation, for example, that I support ending ALL non-profits. Let all of them pay taxes, just like everyone else.

    Dodgers Replace 7th-Inning Stretch With Chant Of 'Hail Satan!' https://buff.ly/42W1kbv

    Dodgers Summon Satan To Throw Out First Pitch At Pride Night

    [​IMG]

    'LOS ANGELES, CA — In an effort to further smooth things over following the controversial decision to re-invite LGBTQ+ activist group Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, the Los Angeles Dodgers have now summoned Satan himself to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at Pride Night.'

    "It fits perfectly with the spirit of the entire night," said Dodgers President & CEO Stan Kasten. "Who better to kick off Pride Night and throw out the first pitch than the Prince of Darkness himself? He has been one of the boldest advocates for transgender ideology over the last few years, so it's an honor to have him."

    Indeed.

    'In preparation for the event, the grounds crew at Dodger Stadium has received orders to mow a pentagram into the grass surrounding the pitcher's mound and sprinkle the entire field with the blood of a freshly slaughtered goat. Sources also confirmed that the 7th-inning stretch will feature a rousing "Hail Satan" chant set to organ music.'

    "Beelzebub is the patron saint of tolerance, filthy lucre, and self-worship, all cherished values at our organization," said Kasten. "We can't wait to watch him throw a blazing fastball down the middle!"

    Maybe they realized only a few hundred people were going to show up for the game and didn't want to lose that much money.

    It just amazes me how a man dressed as a nun is something to get up in arms over, but come the next school shooting (and there WILL be a "next") the same people will not want to do a damn thing.

    It should only amaze you because you are making up the scenarios in your head. The fact of the matter is, no one on either side of the spectrum has any idea on how to stop school shootings. Tell us how you would stop school shootings, today?

    I would look at other countries where they don't have anywhere near the numbers of school shootings that we do. I would note what they do that we don't (or what we are doing that they don't). I would ask the policy makers in those countries what they think the solution is. Obviously they know something (or are doing something) that we don't.

    There are people who know how to stop school shootings because no other country has the problem that we have. Ask them.

    Shelby County, has fenced all their schools, kids go through a metal detector to enter, visitors have to check in at the office and be buzzed in, they've never had a school shooting.

    KRUISER HAS MY VOTE: If Elected, I Will Outlaw All Virtue Signaling.

    [​IMG]

    'Virtue signaling has always been about doing the bare minimum to make it seem as if one is a truly good human being. During the pandemic, it became easier than ever. All anyone had to do was wear a mask.'

    'The masks are just one glaring example. We’re a week away from Pride Month, which is the most tedious long-term virtue signal we’re regularly subjected to. For thirty days, some of the most intolerant people in America will convince themselves that mere proximity to anything resembling a rainbow means that they’re on their way to progressive canonization.'

    ' I’m talking about privileged leftists who like to glom onto marginalized people and pretend they understand their pain. Hell hath no BS like a white upper-class lib hanging around with black and gay people and pretending to be down with the struggle.'

    'In their never-ending push to remove God from American society, Democrats have been crafting a perverse side-hustle secular pseudo-religion that will allow them to feel like what they’re doing has deeper meaning. They may be so shallow that when you scratch the surface there’s more surface underneath, but give them a Pride pin, a mask, and a Prius and they think they’re St. Teresa of Ávila.'

    It’s ironic while complaining about virtue signaling (aka symbols he doesn’t like) Kruiser then jumps into the original virtue signal — god — it would be laughable if it wasn’t so hypocritical.

    If you want to ban all rainbow flags then all religions symbolism must also be banned. “In god we trust” from vehicles and currency. Christmas trees even though xtians stole that from pagans. Crucifixes. Religious texts or words.

    Let’s do it — sounds like an equal trade off.

    Do you agree?

    Fake News. He refers to God, not god.
    I have not desire. Unlike some Leftists, I do not wish to ban things I do not like. You might want to make a little more room for tolerance in your worldview.

    That’s literally what the person you just quoted is calling for…

    He is speaking of his version of god and ignoring all the other versions. I simply believe in one less than both of you do.

    Care to answer the question that you so desperately omitted? Would you agree to my proposal?

    @cd8ed You have some things confused. God =/= god. As for your desire to ban, we're Americans. We can believe anything we like. You might want to do everyone a favor and add some more tolerance to your worldview.
