The Pledge of Allegiance is a socialist propaganda tool.
Forcing kids to recite it every day normalizes the idea that government deserves automatic allegiance.
A truly free society encourages independent thought, voluntary patriotism, and devotion to principles of liberty.
I know a lot of pushback on this comes from the concern that he’s not genuine, but I believe Americans should be able to collectively agree by now that even if he has the best of intentions, that another party in the same broken system only perpetuates the same broken system.
The level of wilful blindness and emotional immaturity when discussing the 9/11 attack -- a full 25 years later -- is stunning.
The US wasn't chosen randomly. OF COURSE decades of US violence and dominance of the region played a significant role in the attack. Forcing people to pretend this isn't true out of some solemn reverence for this attack is repressive and deceitful. It'd be like saying that Israeli violence and repression played no role in the Oct. 7 attacks.
Even the CIA has a doctrine to observe this causal relationship (blowback). Identifying the cause of X is totally unrelated to the question of whether X is justified.
It's good to see that these dumb attacks are losing their potency as the candidate who said it -- Melat Kiros -- basically won a Congressional seat last night in Colorado, defeating a worthless Democratic incumbent pointlessly filling that seat for 30 years.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but a government who has flooded our country with illegals for 45 years isn’t worried about deporting anchor baby Juan. Ending “birth right” would be a direct assault on us all, making government whim the arbiter of citizenship. Think about it
The KIDS Act (HR 7757) will eventually be a power used to surveil and control every single one of us.
We're just a bunch of noisy tax cattle on a totalitarian surveillance state farm to them.
The net effect of this decision is political parties will have more power over individual candidates. When elections are over, winning candidates will feel more obligated to vote with their parties instead of their constituents.
Fewer Thomas Massies and Ro Khannas, more zombies.
I cannot take this anymore.
@RandPaul is sowing up confusion and disinformation and at this point it's hard to believe that he doesn't know what he is dong here.
Anthony Fauci did NOT cook up a super scary, weaponized COVID virus in a lab and kill 15,000,000 people with it. Holy shit ... we are still doing this????
* The virus was NEVER more dangerous than a flu.
* Covid 'deaths' were fraudulently reported in the early months to make it look worse than it was - even if you were hit by a bus it was recorded as a COVID death.
* The PCR tests delivered MILLIONS of false positives and were designed to fraudulently identify positive cases in people who WERE NOT SICK.
* The military COUNTERMEASURES were the primary source of death and destruction ... lockdowns, isolation, Remdesivir, ventilation and ultimately the POISON mRNA shots which have killed and maimed millions.
If there was ANY 'poisoning' it was not from a GOF bat lab. It was more likely aerosolized spraying or environmental poisoning which was deployed by the United States MILITARY - not Anthony Fauci.
Is anyone else sick and tired of Rand getting this so ridiculously WRONG?
Hey Rand Paul - SNAP OUT OF IT.
The KIDS Act is a draconian legislative package that poses an unprecedented threat to online privacy and free speech. By mandating indefinite data retention, backdooring encryption, and criminalizing vaguely defined "obscene" content with draconian penalties, it effectively turns ISPs into mass surveillance arms of the state. The bill's AI-powered censorship regime would blacklist entire platforms over algorithmic misidentifications, while forwarding all flagged communications to law enforcement without warrant or oversight.
Critics from both parties decry it as unconstitutional overreach, likened it to Chinese style digital totalitarianism. Its proponents weaponize child safety rhetoric to circumvent debate, despite the measure doing nothing meaningful for actual victims while empowering the FBI to surveil every American's digital life by default.
UK governments think
AC causes climate change and the US government wants you to think age verification ID to get online is about safety.
Both are violations of civil liberties.
Hey everyone, Summer is hot. Humanity flourishes when the Earth heats up and retreats when it cools down. These are facts regardless of your propagandized feelings. The Earth goes in cycles.
