@LuFins-Dad said in Butker calls it out.:
The moments of my life before Lucas was born are nowhere near as important or as dear as those moments after. That’s not to diminish the earlier life, but to emphasize how different and improved my life is. Karla would agree..
-
A bit of a strawman switheroo there, buddy; reflecting on the relative importance/preciousness of different moments of one’s life is not the same as claiming that one’s life hasn’t really started before certain moment/event.
-
If Butker said whatever he said of his own life (and even adds that his wife would agree), there would be no controversy. But no, he said of someone else’s life, he said of his wife’s life, that her life didn’t “truly start” before she begin living her vocation as a wife and as a mother.[*]
So …
-
Just because you feel that your life before certain event/moment was less important/precious does not mean anyone else’s life is as well.
-
Any of us, imagine saying out loud or posting in public proclaiming that “[my spouse]’s life truly started when he/she began living her/her vocation as a [spouse] and as a [parent]” … see what happens.
[*] Taking Butker’s words as is, one can also ask what happens to the lives of those who never married or never been a parent. Take Biblical Jesus, for example, Biblical Jesus basically died (and resurrected and remain) single, a virgin, and childless; has Biblical Jesus’ life never “truly started” then using Butker’s standard?
Geez, you're a dick...

"Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08
The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

I really haven't paid much attention to this ginned-up controversy.
Lemme see if I get it right:
Football player expresses his values and a nation is outraged. Is that correct?
I wouldn’t say nation, just the sammich makers.

Jon Stewart on Butker and the Cancel Culture:Pick soundbites from the massive soundbite universe, and frame them as contradictions to make the right look bad. What an edge lord. And the clapping apes in the audience, chef's kiss. Don't you ever go changing, Mr Stewart, or your audience. We love you just the way you are.
He closes with the claim that "nobody ever gets fired for criticizing DEI, they'll probably just get promoted". I mean, I know neither Stewart nor his writers have ever had a real job, but this seems particularly disconnected from reality even for people like them.

Meanwhile, Biden gave a commencement at an historically black college in which he heaped psychological abuse on the black community, telling them that the nation is out to get them in several different ways. Crickets, of course, for this mainstream abuse of the black community, courtesy of your local progressive ideologues.
You missed your high school graduation. You started college just as George Floyd was murdered and there was a reckoning on race.
It’s natural to wonder if democracy you hear about actually works for you.
What is democracy if Black men are being killed in the street?
What is democracy if a trail of broken promises still leave Black — Black communities behind?
What is democracy if you have to be 10 times better than anyone else to get a fair shot?
And most of all, what does it mean, as we’ve heard before, to be a Black man who loves his country even if it doesn’t love him back in equal measure? (Applause.)
Even a room temperature IQ leftist must know that, if this messaging isn't actually true, it's psychologically abusive to those with black skin who receive it.

A combination of pandering and moaning.

It's a well known trick of psychopaths intent on abusing someone, to tell them about all the other people who secretly hate them. Of course they are not at liberty to name names, but they are in possession of the very regrettable knowledge that so many other people hate this person, and they'd just like this person to know that. I've seen that trick used on this very forum in fact. Which is not to say Biden is intent on abusing black people, but the effect is the effect, regardless of intent, and the mechanism is well known even to teenage girls, and their adult counterparts.
-
I’m kind of surprised Biden survived that racial jungle. I guess Morehouse men are clean and articulate.
