There are certainly age appropriate books, and they should be read by the correct ages.

Banning Shel Silverstein because he has a poem about broken dishes, because you afraid your child might break some dishes seems to be a bit much.

So, Paul, now you're a free speech warrior?

So, you got your panties in a bunch over some obscure poem, yet I don't recall you ever once standing up for all the conservatives who have been canceled, shadow-banned and thrown off social media outlets, bullied and thrown out of college lecture halls, harassed or arrested after peacefully praying in front of abortion centers, etc., etc., by your side?

Hmmmmmmmmm, I wonder why?

A handy guide to help you out:


(lets ban Shel Silverstein because one of his poems has broken dishes. You guys are nuts)

Who are 'you guys?' Also, some parents expressing concern is not akin to banning. Stop making shit up...again.

Make up your mind. Is the examination of age appropriate books something that people should deal with, or is it something that conservatives should shy away from in order to deal with real problems? You are all over the place

Assuming you can walk and chew gum simultaneously, try to do both.
Try not to cancel poems, like the one read at the last inauguration, or in Silverstein's books.
I believe you'll be up to the task.

didn't answer #17972

too tough for you? or does it expose you as a hypocrite?

Since Paul was so concerned with Dylan Mulvaney being cancelled over Bud Light and grifts, I’m sure he’ll be happy to know that Mulvaney actually is attracted to women.
Paul and Mulvaney. Two of the most confused two faces around.

And what say you about Dr. Suess being cancelled by your ilk?
I believe you’ll be up to the task?

[paulxu]

Sure.

Seuss was a liberal and a moralist who expressed his views in his books through the use of ridicule, satire, wordplay, nonsense words, and wild drawings to take aim at bullies, hypocrites, and demagogues.

I don't find the decision to pull some of the books that featured racial characterizations that some might find offensive as any result of some liberals "cancelling" them. It seems to be a decision of the publisher (in coordination with people in charge of estate) to pull them.

As to Mulvaney and other members of the LBGT+ communities, I'll never understand why you all have to disparage them. Why not just let them be in peace. It use to be a criminal offense to be gay (and cost us great minds like Albert Turning). Why do you feel like you have to shoot up beer cans and start new beers because someone is associated with the brand? Crazy.
Liberals when they protest at least are focused on issues that matter, not someone else's lifestyle choice.

When Liberals protest they harass innocent people, riot, shoot at police, destroy minority owned businesses and burn down cities. Why not just let those things live in peace? Why after years of enjoyment by everyone it is only NOW that the publisher and “the estate” decided to pull them? Nah, nothing to do with sudden outrage pressure from Progs over nothing.
And “pulling books” sure seems to be BANNING books to me. I wonder why Paul thinks there were “offensive images” in those books. Would Suess have been violently protested like Charlie Hebdo in France was over free speech? I wonder why Paul isn’t offended by White Men being portrayed as doofuses by Homer Simpson? I guess we should all riot and cancel that show, right???

[paulxu]

You should; that and shoot up some cans of beer to make you feel like a man. Go for it.
