Angry liberals can’t handle truth, shut down my speech – WND.com

I spoke to the Southern California Junior State of America, or JSA, winter congress this weekend to a group of about 860 high-schoolers, supposedly 60 to 70 percent liberal.

Ive never seen a better-looking group of young people: The boys wore suits and ties, and the girls wore dresses and heels. (Some wore pantsuits.)

My talk followed a liberal California state assemblymans speech. I was scheduled for an hour, consisting of a 25- to 45-minute speech followed by Q&A but I was thrown out before the 25-minute mark.

I started out saying my book, The Antidote, proves racism does not exist, that its a lie made up to divide and conquer through anger. Angry people feel like victims, and all victims are pathetic. (Some loved this message.)

I explained how Barack Obama divided the races like no other time in history, because hes all about politics, power and wealth liberals do not care about people.

Obama pitted blacks against whites and police. Theyd been set up to hate by their lying false leaders over the decades. Most who run into trouble with police are criminals thugs like Michael Brown or Trayvon Martin, whose home lives I described.

The high-schoolers burst out in shouting and jeers when I told the truth about the two dead icons of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Around 15 minutes into my talk, the JSA governor, high-school senior Justin Wittekind, asked me to begin Q&A early. Immediately, dozens of students lined up on both sides of the room to ask their questions.

My answers to their questions each caused an uproar. Unfortunately, only about four people all girls were allowed to state their case and ask questions before they decided to shut me down completely.

Two girls questioned my position that racism does not exist. They brought statistics they think prove racism does exist. I explained that blacks have created a negative reputation for themselves through dangerous neighborhoods, robbery, rape and murder of one another and of white people. I said liberals are liars, and you cant trust their studies or anything a liberal has to say.

One girl said LGBT rights are very important to her, and she described disproportionate LGBT suffering with information from Human Rights Campaign. I responded by saying theres no such thing as LGBT rights. Before I could elaborate, the crowd burst in cries of outrage. Justin came to the mic and said, We dont agree with that, and that we should not discuss that topic because we wont agree, and the crowd wouldnt be able to handle it. But the crowd wanted to hear it and shouted when he cut off the topic. Before we moved on, I added that the same laws that protect all Americans protect homosexuals and other LGBT people. We dont need special laws for special people.

Finally, one girl asked: If racism does not exist, then what is the purpose of Black Lives Matter why do we need it? I said Black Lives Matter is an evil, angry, agitative group its worse than the KKK. At this, the crowd screamed louder than ever. One young man tried to rush the stage. He was being pushed back as he shouted that they killed his great-grandfather. (He later interrupted conservative young guys talking to me to dispute the facts about Trayvon Martin. When we left, he cursed at me and flipped me off. He was so angry.)

The adult program director for JSA, liberal feminist Obama supporter Yvonne England, put her hands on me twice to pull me away from the mic and prevent me from speaking. She did not want me to mention God in my speech or say Obama is the worst president weve ever had. She told me Im never coming back, upset that I made kids cry. I told her not to touch me. Despite her assault, I concluded my speech to the young people by telling them, I want you to start thinking for yourself, to consider whats right and wrong and not just accept what theyre told. Yvonne stood there fuming behind me.

Justin told the crowd his heart had never beat so fast in his life. He repeatedly promised students the opportunity to talk and interrogate my ideas outside. Students immediately joined me outside.

Very shortly, however, after only two or three minutes, the adults in charge demanded the young people go back inside. Two men told me I had to leave, and they escorted me away. Another liberal JSA employee, Derek Dettorre, pretended to respect my opinions, but he soon started yelling at me and accusing me of wanting to rile the students, as I tried to get my parking pass validated.

More than ever, young people lack good fathers. So they hate men and they hate truth. Barna Group reports 59 percent of millennials who grew up in the church have dropped out.

I could recognize the young people who are confident and happy. They love me, theyre conservative and they can handle disagreement. Theyre in the minority among insane liberal crowds. I pray that they continue to set the example for the other youth who never saw this strength in their homes.

Liberalism’s Fake Sense of Morality – Townhall

|

Posted: Feb 27, 2017 12:01 AM

Liberals constantly stake a claim to some religion-free moral high ground, which is laughable considering liberalisms ideology is immoral at its core. Since November of last year, leftists have been too blinded by inane hatred for Trump to see the irony.

Sure, there are liberals out there who lead decent lives and you can find some on the other side who dont. Difference is, though, the longer a liberal remains liberal, the harder it is for them to see the light...the truththat all their ideology does is cover them with a cloak of morality.

The false sense of morality gives them license to live a life filled with double standards. Whats wrong is wrong, right? No. Their skewed perception of right and wrong allows them to believe its okay to do wrong, but its not okay for those on the right, both religious and secular. Which is why they found it perfectly acceptable for recent womens marches, supposedly protesting a decade-old nasty Trump joke, to chant obscenities through a microphone and put on a display of vulgarity, filthy enough to make even Trump blush.

As a wise person once said: There are none so blind as those who will not see.

Enough already with the fake moral outrage.

Clear and simple, liberals hate Trump because he beat Hillary Clinton. Period. End of story. They are so overcome by anger and hatred, they fail to realize that until recently, Trump could have been their candidate.

I say until recently because Trump is transitioningtransformingchanging. Prayer works, and Trumps blanketedcovered with it. Surrounding himself with some incredibly adept advisors doesnt hurt either.

Another huge factor in this evolution is that with each fake news report or violent riot or piece of leaked information Trump is becoming less like a liberal and more like Ronald Reagan. Who Trump was during the primaries is not who he is today.

Liberals cant handle that this immoral man received a moral mandate to do what is right for America.

And, by gosh, hes doing it, despite the snotty-nosed brats who continue to throw tantrums and wet their pants every time Trump takes positive action to restore America to her former greatness.

Trump made no pretense about who he was and is doing exactly what he said he would do versus the self-serving candidates liberals typically choose, who put on a mask of morality every election cycle.

Thats why their beloved former Sen. Harry Reid had no problem telling a bold-faced lie about Mitt Romneys taxes during the 2012 presidential election. Years later, an unrepentant Reid justified his actions during a news interview where he refused to acknowledge wrongdoing saying, with an arrogant grin, Well, they can call it whatever they want, Romney didnt win, did he?

The Washington Post gave three Pinocchios to the lefts Coolest Prez, ever, Obama, who made a campaign promise that insurance premiums would decrease under Obamacare. Obama was also responsible for this fish tale: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep doctor. Period. If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period. No one will take it away. No matter what.

But were not supposed to notice the duplicity, were supposed to dwell on the good intentions of a party devoid of conscience.

Folks, this really isnt about politics. Im genuinely concerned some of our liberal friends are drowning in an ideology every bit as dangerous as Eves apple. Every time they take a bite, they are tempted to believe its okay to lie and hate and suppose they are morally superior to everyone else -- for absolutely no reason at all.

Liberals propose dialing back new MHA pensions, could save $5.2 million – CBC.ca

The Newfoundland and Labrador government could be once again making a changeto the pension plansof newly-elected MHAs.

In a tweet Monday morning, the Liberal caucus posted a letter from ChairRandy Edmunds to House of Assembly Speaker Tom Osborne requesting that the legislature's management commission explore moving to a defined contribution pension plan for members elected in 2015 and beyond.

That's a change from last December, when the house voted to grandfatherMHAs in the older, more lucrative plan despite earlier recommendations that they fall under a new pension plan.

In his letter, Edmunds said that the change the Liberals are now proposingcould save government as much as $5.2 million, compared to the $3.6 million that would have been saved with the original recommendation thatthe Members' Compensation Review Committee proposed before the vote last December.

If passed, the change would affect20 MHAs first elected in the 2015 election 19 Liberals, and one Progressive Conservative.

While the total savings could be $5.2 million, the actual amount depends on whetherMHAsarere-elected for a second term and become eligible for pensions.

Oscars 2017: Conservatives, liberals, filmmakers. Who isn’t boycotting? – The San Diego Union-Tribune

Another year, another Oscars boycott. Several, actually.

But the difference this year is that theplanned boycotts of Sunday nightsAcademy Awards ceremony have less to do with race and diversity in Hollywood, as was the case last year, andmore to do with nationalpolitics

On one side of the political spectrum, conservatives and supporters of Donald Trump will skip the Oscars ceremony to protest bitter people of the entertainment industry including Meryl Streep andAlec Baldwin, both known for blasting President Donald Trump on live television. On the other side of the political spectrum, people objecting to Trumps travel ban will use the Oscars as a stage to air their criticism.

A group of Republican women out of Tempe, Arizona, announced their boycott on Facebook with a post that calls for others to skipthe ceremony, change the channel or go for a walk with your family members and tell them how much you love them.

Many conservatives were irritated byanacceptance speech by Streep at the Golden Globe Awards. While outspoken liberals applauded the speech in which Streep criticized Trump without using his name, vocal conservatives said the speech was out of touch with much of America.

Let them know that we will not be silenced and that we are no longer going to be shamed for what we believe,the Tempe Republican Womens post reads. We must continue the fight! Boycott the Academy.

The same weekend Trump issued an executive order banning entry to refugees and foreigners from seven mostly Muslim countries, Iranian filmmaker Asghar Farhadi said he would skip the Oscars. Farhadis film The Salesman is nominated for best foreign language film this year.

Countries affected by the ban include Iran, where Farhadi comes from, but he told Variety that he would still skip the Oscarseven if exceptions were made to let him into the U.S.

Joining her film director,actress Taraneh Alidoosti called the visa ban racist and she would not attend the Academy Awards in protest.

Hollywood talent agency UTA, which represents Farhadi,also announced that it would cancel its traditional Oscars party and holda pro-immigration rally instead, Deadline Hollywood reported.

In years past, Trump has been an avid viewer of the Oscars offering much more than his two cents on Twitter in past yearsbut the president doesnt plan to watchthe Academy Awards on Sunday night because ofanother event highlighting his new role.

Though the reasons are not explicitly political, Trump wont be watching the Oscars because he will be attending the annual Governors Ball at the White House on Sunday.

Are you watching the Oscars or are you skipping the eventyourself? Chime in.
