    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

        How far we’ve come...

        https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/politics/obama-pretty-much-all-the-stuff-you-need-to-know-is-in-dr-seuss/2016/03/02/7ca71bb0-e0d4-11e5-8c00-8aa03741dced_video.html

        Anyone have a link to the racist images in the 6 books? So far all the articles I’ve seen just reference the books?

          I thought to myself, I need to find copies of these before they disappear! Sure enough...

                Dr Seuss was big when I was a kid but by the time our kids came along it was more of a memory lane thing than part of the rotation..

                      Why is it that almost all big American companies seem to be run by super-woke liberals?

                        Because the conservatives who run their big companies don't make the news as much.

                          Banning a few books that nobody reads anyway is a very cheap and easy way to ensure that they don't lose any business, and appear to be woke, whilst quietly making tons of cash using off-shore sweatshops and paying dreadful salaries to a bunch of drones that nobody really cares about.

                          To be honest, if they drop a couple Seuss books with dodgy depictions of Asian people, I'm not going to worry about it too much.

                          I was only joking

                            For Americans, it's probably safer to post an image of Mohammed than to post an image the woke have deemed inappropriate.

                            Education is extremely important.

                                Not anymore. A lot of Asian SJWs are claiming put-upon status and pointing to incidents of anti-asian hate crimes for proof that whites hate them just as much as they do blacks and latinos. Makes sense from their perspective; quite obviously the worst thing to be associated with in America today is whiteness. They're all just so evil, right?

                                Please love yourself.

                                  Look in any Seuss book, it is loaded with racism.

                                  Too many whites

                                  White people = racism
