DeSantis Responds to His Leftwing Gay Activist and Media Defamers (But I Repeat Myself) By Showing the Books He's Actually Banning from Elementary Schools: "This is Porn"

This is obviously porn. Porn written and illustrated for children.

It's only pretended to not be porn because it's Gay. If It's Gay, It's Okay -- that's the leftwing slogan. Because the books aren't solely intended for purposes of sexual gratification, but also for sexual indoctrination, they're "educational," you see.

No one would ever claim that a book explicitly describing -- and even containing explicit illustrations -- of sex between a teeanged boy and teenaged girl was acceptable material for a school to push on fourth graders. Obviously, such books would be seen as promoting sex among kids and exciting prurient desires.

But always remember: If It's Gay, It's Okay. If It's Gay, It's Okay. If It's Gay, It's Okay.

The finest in Edurotic Gay Entertainment is being offered to children, purchased with money extracted from taxpayers at the point of a gun.

Incidentally, what effect do you imagine it will have on children, who do have a natural curiosity about sex, when the only sexual -- indeed, pornographic -- material they can readily access is gay in nature? And seems to come with official state/societal/parental approval, because it's eagerly, proudly, unconscionably available in elementary schools?

Think that might help a bit in recruiting for the great cause?

I'm not exactly advocating for straight porn to be made available in schools, but if schools are stocking up in gay porn, then yeah -- why shouldn't straight porn be available as well?

If we don't accept "If It's Gay, It's Okay" then equal opportunity for Grooming dictates that kids get a look at the other, socially-disapproved sexual possibility, heterosexuality.

In the first video below, DeSantis puts the media and activists on notice that if they want to discuss this material they swear is appropriate for kids, he's going to show it for the world to see and make them affirm publicly that they're, essentially, p3dophiles.

The second video is something he played at a press conference, I think today, following through on his threat.

Meanwhile, more on Ken Burns opining about Fox and DeSantis. It turns out Ken Burns' practiced air of intellectualism is just as fake and flimsy as a cardboard-walled Potemkin Village -- you know, like the Potemkin Villages that the Nazis used to build. ("Potemkin" is obvious a German word, as all scholars of linguistics can immediately discern.)

Via David Strom at Hot Air, here are videos of Ken Burns showing what an absolutely gold-standard professional historian and general Super-Brain he is.

Yes. "Tax on the wealthiest individuals ..." or "Tax on the rich ..." is nothing of the sort. They are, without exceptions, taxes on the *affluent.* (well, no, they're usually taxes on upper-middle income earners, but that's not how they're sold.)

"I have a high income" != "I am rich."
"I am rich" != "I have a high income."

Those two things *might* be related, but they needn't be. You can be wealthy without being affluent and vice-versa.

154 I'm not sure how to reach my sib. She is 100% on the side of drag queens, and thinks the anger against drag queen storytime and drag queens in public is 100% a homophobic witch hunt. I tried to change her mind, point out Amanda Abbington, who is a far left actress, but has kids, is getting cancelled for saying that babies should not be at drag shows. (There was the wine mom drag cabaret were moms were encouraged to bring their babies, which Amanda pushed back on on Twitter.) I thought including an actress she respects POV would help.

Nope. The response I got via text after our convo devolved in her saying "well I guess we just can't talk politics", is basically: I was doing the thing I apparently do, where I take a firm side on something I "might not even believe in" and then it's impossible to have a nuanced discussion. I get so stubborn I don't care what I'm saying gets offensive.

Saying drag cabaret shows for kids is bad? Is somehow violence against the drag and LGBT community?

I hate there are areas maybe we just can't talk. I didn't think keeping kids from seeing naughty drag cabaret would be a point of division for us, but that is the modern world I now live in.

And think about that. All sorts of people who are not biologists can call themselves a "male" or a "female" because they feel they are.

Liberalism became an ideology when the marginal liberals wanted to be free from the judgment of common sense and consequences.

My total mechanical freedom can be very antithetical to your total mechanical freedom. it's why we use our collective power to lock people up and end their lives. An "autarch" is a person who is free to take the lives of others--i.e. he's free to make that decision.

The raw material of natural, mechanical freedom needs to be refined by society into the refined good of liberty and rights.

If he had won by a huge margin when first running then it'd be a basis for arguing for personal popularity. He is popular in Florida after delivering results.

He doesn't get to be president for 4 years before running for president.

Considering Trump won the primary before he won the board here, he is probably less popular here than with Republican primary participants on average.

And seems to come with official state/societal/parental approval, because it's eagerly, proudly, unconscionably available in elementary schools?

There were significant changes in florida's voter rolls and voting process after his first election.

The massive difference between his first and second elections is a likely combination of not only demonstrating good results, but also tamping down significantly the cheating. Both of these things are commendable. His only narrow victory over a drug addicted butt pirate was most likely skewed by cheating. The change afterwards is probably skewed as a result. Ultimately, he's pretty popular in Florida no matter how you slice it. Which is nice. How well that translates outside of Florida and the region remains to be seen. I'm looking forward to seeing how it plays out.

The difference is the evil MAGA Republicans can't hit back or stop huge bribe payments to American officials like the cartels can.

Today Linsdey Graham said he may introduce an Authorization Of Military Force bill so POTUS can wage in Mexico against the cartels. But that does not compel Joe to use the military. It simply allows him to do so if he chooses. He will choose to maybe send some more USAF U-2's to fly over cartel lands. Maybe.

396 I know it is potentially volatile to say this, but I really hope that DeSantis decides to run for President. I'll support Trump if he is the nominee, but I prefer DeSantis's style over Trump's. Just as aggressive and "taking it to the mattresses" but less personal. Trump makes everything so personal.

400 I remember as a boyscout doing a recycling drive, and some guy pulled up and put a bunch of Penthouse mags into the magazine recycling bin. It was crazy how many of us were diving into the bin trying to dig them out mixed in with all the People/Country Living/readers digests. It was the first time I saw boobs. Amazing.


My grandfather had a Playboy subscription for it's first 25 years in existence, or thereabouts. He petitioned my dad to sell them off. We had box after box after box of magazines in our basement for a few weeks. My brother and I hid downstairs at night for several nights.

And furthermore stated the opinion that the government should be able to take off whatever shows it wishes as long as they state that the show is "lying".

So censorship, as long as the government alleges something or other....

405 After listening to Ken Burns, I am questioning everything he depicted in his "The Civil War", "The Vietnam War," And "The Roosevelts". All heavily influenced by political actions at the time. What he says isn't opinion, but is just flat-out wrong.

If he is so wrong and lied so deeply about J6, how can we trust his judgement for anything else?

I do have one thing to thank Burns for however, he introduced me to the concertina, the background instrument of much of the Civil War.

We PacNW Morons can relate to it, 'cuz Captain Obvious plays a mean concertina at the local MoMe.

I watched most of the night when rioters were throwing frozen bottles of water at Secret Service and Park Police and repeatedly bouncing officers' heads off their riot shields as the Secret Service evacuated the President to the basement for safety.

When the city cleared the plaza with tear gas, it was "tyrant Trump". And all they could manage for Trump was he was a coward for "hiding in his basement".

All the Dems in the Capitol fled because a 5' female climbed through a window and, as the record shows, was immediately capped, after which there was no second wave.
