I call bullshit! And, I’ll prove it, too!

“Grammar is important! Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your Uncle jack off a horse.”

See?

Daniel Sv.: The sad thing is that trivializing the term “fascism” will make people apathetic to when real fascism occurs.

I originally posted the following information and commentary onto my Facebook wall…

College Writing Center Declares American Grammar A ‘Racist,’ ‘Unjust Language Structure’:
http://dailycaller.com/2017/02/20/college-writing-center-declares-american-grammar-a-racist-unjust-language-structure/

(Rob Shimshock) An “antiracist” poster in a college writing center insists American grammar is “racist” and an “unjust language structure,” promising to prioritize rhetoric over “grammatical ‘correctness.’”

My Commentary: I call bullshit! And, I’ll prove it, too!

“Grammar is important! Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your Uncle jack off a horse.”

See?

(note: I previously used the same meme to address another attempt to attack grammar as racist in my post, “Sorry, Chalabi, But Grammar is Important!“)

What if the American People Finally Woke Up?

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Young Americans for Liberty,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"What if the American people woke up and understood that the official reasons for going to war are almost always based on lies and promoted by war propaganda in order to serve special interests? - Congressman Ron Paul

“What if the American people woke up and understood that the official reasons for going to war are almost always based on lies and promoted by war propaganda in order to serve special interests? – Congressman Ron Paul

My Commentary: What if, though? Would we just make excuses for continued complacency, or would we finally fight for real justice and peace?

Question Everything to Learn an Important Lesson

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Decolonize the World,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"How is it possible to know the truth without challenging it, first?

“How is it possible to know the truth
without challenging it, first?”

My Commentary: Question everything, and, if nothing else, you’ll learn at least one important lesson: tyranny hates inquiry.

Discussing Life’s Diversity

The following correspondence originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “Diversity is Life!“…

Rayn: Truth!

“We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry are equal in value no matter what their color.” – Maya Angelou

Stacie T.: My least favorite color is orange, but a sunset wouldn’t be a sunset without it.
