The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Is it still O.K. with you if the people who are throwing rocks at police officers and shooting National Guardsman are prosecuted for their crimes?

Of course not. Never was. Never will be.

If ANTIFA isn't a "thing," how did it emerge into public consciousness?

"ANTIFA" was jinned up as a hobgoblin to frighten the mob. Remember when every Muslim who did anything sketchy was claimed to be part of the monolithic, globe girdling, Islamic boogyman conspiracy, while a white guy, doing the same thing, was dismissed as a "disturbed individual"? In the 50s, it was the "international communist conspiracy". I almost bust out laffing at Aldo Ray's ranting about the "international communist conspiracy" in "The Green Berets". TPTB jinn up huge conspiracies to frighten the Proles into submission.
