Ever wonder why the Left keeps cancelling People of Color from favorable positions and positive associations?

From your link:

“In terms of changing the name Redskins, the Native American community was never asked how they felt about it. Once again, we are met by closed doors and no open dialogue with the Commanders leadership or the executives.” The NAGA letter to the Commanders “cites lawsuits, polls and general sentiment supporting their argument that Native Americans do not find ‘Redskin’ to be a derogatory term.” Many people profess to find “Redskin” offensive in a way that even “Indian” is not – but if these Native Americans don’t find it insulting, why should anyone else?

I read that when you linked it on an earlier thread, being both a Heinlein fan and having a son who appeared in “Rhinoceros” in HS (it’s tied with “Little Shop of Horrors” for his favorite play).

It is almost as surreal as Ionesco’s play to realize that things have gotten so much crazier since you wrote your post.

(Ionesco wrote that in 1959, a decade after Heinlein’s story)

Glad to hear you appreciated it.

I watched the interview and sent it to a relative. I very much agree with you.
We are hungry for intelligence, morality, and common sense.

That MPAHG scene is brilliant! Hilarious, but also a very clever treatise on politics. Too bad we don’t have comics making films so clever these days.

Regarding “Idiocracy,” I found the premise very funny and there are scenes and lines that are very clever, but some of the humor is a bit crude for my tastes. In Mike Judge’s defense, he’s painting a picture of a future where things are very dumbed down, and that includes culture, so “potty” humor fits the film’s structure. Just a heads up you probably don’t want to watch it with the local Lady’s Bible Study club.

People who have paid attention to the full story will know that, while Afghanistan combat veteran Grusch did indeed have an episode of PTSD (which he acknowledged in his first interview with Ross Coulthart) despite this fact, DOD security officials —who, I am sure, conducted a very thorough investigation of this episode, his treatment, and the results of that treatment—did not yank his very high level security clearances.

Moreover, it should also be remembered that the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community reportedly took many hours of sworn testimony from Grusch and his supporting witnesses, and after this, concluded that his was a serious complaint which was both “credible and urgent,” which was why this IG notified Congress about it.
