    Weak minds take isolated incidents, generalize to a larger point, wipe their hands and stomp smugly off. That’s what you just did.

    I admit there are those on the left that do the same things. I’m going to put religious displays and Christmas lights up in my yard no matter who it offends. If a man opens a door for me, or tells me I look nice, I’m going to say thank you rather than claim I was sexually harassed. The “live and let live” mantra goes for everyone IMHO. What I object to is having someone else’s beliefs being forced on me, and I believe you feel the same way.

    I don’t think there is any way to avoid conflict. At least at some point. My beliefs, if true, have implications for you.

    And now, after previously praising the system, Desantis withdraws Florida from ERIC, a membership organization that shares voter information with member states, and allows cross-checking with national databases, to ensure election integrity. ERIC is uniformly praised for its effectiveness by the counties’ respective supervisors of elections. The reason for the withdrawal? His Secretary of State, whose wife is an outspoken QAnon follower, claims it is part of the George Soros network whose purpose is to make elections unfair. Like most of DeSantis’ crazy policies, this conspiracy theory was conceived by the right wing think tank, American Policy Center.

    Your beliefs can’t have implications on me if you confine them to yourself and your family. If you don’t want an abortion then don’t have one, if I don’t like your church doctrine then I don’t have to go to your church. Simple as that.

    No one would ever confuse you for an expert in American culture.

    You’re probably right, so please educate me on what “American culture” actually is.

    You are an enigma at times @Orange_and_Bluke - you 'disliked' my post where I put those emoticons on a meme picturing someone having his face pushed into an ass, captioned with you getting your information - and you "dislike" it? Makes no sense.

    Ha. If I thought you were genuinely interested in my opinions, I’d happily explain myself.

    I should also add to the woke discussion systemic racism. Some liberals want to magnify the wrongdoings of the past to guilt children in todays classroom. It is flat out wrong and disgraceful. This is where Desantis has it right with his handling of the schools.

    I'm waiting for you to 'happily explain' your opinion.

    I know moderators should have a voice but do they put the moderator title down once they engage in the conversation?

    My question of O and B has nothing to do with my duties or obligations as a moderator. Why do you ask? Do you expect some sort of disclaimer before I participate in a thread discussion, ask a question, or otherwise participate on the forum?

    And some conservatives led by Ron DeSantis have decided that virtually any teaching of the history of racism including slavery and its legacy, Jim Crow laws, and other examples of how Americans of African decent have been the victims of institutional racism are considered an intent "to guilt children" and therefore must be banned. This kind of says it all.

    Luckily no one believes what you just wrote. I doubt you even believe it.
