Our liberal friends have reached a new level of stupid.  A Ms. Sarah Hall of Newcastle England, wrote to her 6 year old son’s primary school and demanded they remove the fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty from the classroom, because a prince kissing a sleeping princess must be molesting her. Â
This shows just how hyper spastic and how bubble brained the liberal mind is. Â A 6 year old does not process information the same way that an adolescent or an adult does. Â Secondly, fairy tales teach youngsters that life may have pitfalls but that if you are a good person, good things will ultimately happen to those who do good. Â Â Fairy tales teach our kids that bad things happen to those who do bad, and in teaching children these important facts, give our kids some mental security. Â
The average 6 year old boy does not walk around kissing his female classmates.  And while I am no expert in the mind of a rapist or pedophile, I am reasonably certain that no man ever raped a woman by saying “Prince Charming made me do itâ€.   Who knows maybe we can ask John Conyers or Al Franken, or Joe Biden for that matter. Â
Soon the hysterics like Ms. Hall will be screaming for banning the telling of Goldilocks, saying that “Everyone knows that bears don’t eat porridge†and claiming that feeding a bear porridge would constitute cruelty to animals.  Or banning the Disney classic Bambi, because in the movie, Bambi’s mother is killed by a hunter.   Saying that kids can’t handle the stress of Bambi’s mother being killed.  Or might tell the kids that the mother of the “Ugly Duckling†should be prosecuted for neglect. Â
Things happen in life.  Some are tragic.  No one wants tragedy, but we learn from rough times and hard times is what makes us better people.  And young kids inherently understand that just because something may happen in a fairy tale, that does not mean it should happen in real life. And if the kid does not understand this fact, that is the parents’ job or the teachers’ job to politely but firmly explain to the child the wrongness of their behavior.   These are facts that our supposedly “educated friends on the left†don’t seem to get.  Â
Given their penchant for ruining things, let’s look at our future fairy tales.   Coming soon to a pre-school near you.  Sleeping Beauty to be retitled “Once Upon a Midnight’s Sexual Assaultâ€. Â

Articles like this are exhibit A why people don’t take “conservatives” seriously.
.. except for, you know, the ones who elected a Republican President, a Republican House, a Republican Senate, a majority of Republican state houses, and a majority of Republican governors.
So … like .. nobody takes conservatives seriously … except all those people.
… but don’t worry Sbn, I’m sure it’s just because Republicans are all misogynistic, homophobic, racists who haven’t heard the great news about transgender bathrooms yet …
Did I say Republicans?, nope. I didn’t say Republicans bc not many people seriously consider Republicans to be conservative anymore. They’ve more than proven it by their actions.
Also note, I didn’t say Conservatives either. I said, “conservatives”. Figure it out, or not.
And Garrison Keillor of public radio just got fired today too! He must have read too many fairy tales as a kid.
Sounds like a slur against the LGBT crowd.
Speaking of which, did you see the story today of the 2 guys arrested in Bangkok?
I’ll bite!!!
Two gay men, epitomizing the Ugly American stereotype, went to a religious temple in Bangkok dropped their pants and took a picture of their backsides–fairy tails. They were promptly arrested.
“John Massoud is currently a Magisterial District Chair in Shenandoah County…” and is apparently a hyperbolic imbecile…
Hey, Eric. Where’ve you been these many years?
He was a full troll at one time but apparently got lost somewhere.
you say troll as if it is a bad thing – someone has to keep your rants in check – otherwise you will spread your hatred to your grandkids and we will never get any better
I’ve heard trolls claim a lot of stuff, but helping to quell the spread of hatred … that’s a new one lol
Half trolls are a unique breed, Monday…
Reminds me of the emperor who had no clothes.
We’ve had many good arguments over the years but the now-defunct Too Conservative shut down and I haven’t heard a whine from him since.
Still here, David. Just been taking some time off for real life…
Welcome back to fake life.
One person makes a comment thousands of miles away in a different country and the comment is used to smear half our country. It’s absurd and frankly anti-American. Massoud, you’ve now squandered all your credibility. Back to watching fairy tales for you.
Sleeping Beauty is an international story. The stupidity of socialism is an international story. Unfortunately, Americans have been treated to the stupidity of international socialism for too darn long.

I notice in picture 3 that there is no one to tend for the princess, thus she dies of thirst and starvation.
The tale that is dangerous is Robin Hood.
I think that we have a new candidate. Matt Lauer.
I think the millennials with our social justice warrior causes will, as a whole, be the worst parents the world has seen in centuries.
One of the things about the world is something called reality. When SJW causes are exposed as a scam, then those caught up in the scam will be both embarrassed and angry. Hopefully, they will learn in time and not be abusive parents. However, if they don’t learn then their kids will bear the horrific burden of the bad parenting.
I will continue with the Warmac criticism here. Warmac – along with Trump, as I have said, represents a danger to this country and a danger to my family. Warmac claims that one of the things about this world is “reality”. But reality doesn’t matter. The White House Announced it today… Again… Sarah Sanders: “Whether it is a real video, the threat is real,” This is also the guy (Trump) who said thousands of Muslims in NJ were on CNN cheering right after 9/11. That is insane. This was even before his Muslim Ban announcement in December 2015. Everyone knows that statement is false and he is either lying or out of touch with reality. But now at least thousands of his supporters think it is reality.
For anyone else caught in the same echo chamber as Donald Trump and Warmac and may have missed how reality has fallen low on the importance scale, Donald Trump retweeted clear anti-Muslim propaganda, one video of which is actually completely false in the description and does not involve any Muslims at all. The second one is of a guy breaking a statue. Clearly some stupid fundamentalist who is destroying “idols”. Almost no Muslims would support doing that and Muslims would have no issue with the person of Mary because Islamic Beliefs and Christian beliefs about Mary are almost identical. The last is a truly horrific snuff film of probably Muslims killing someone. The time or place or even the reasons for these videos may not be accurately described. But nobody knows. One is defintely false. All are infamatory and bigoted. Each one refers only to a “Muslim”. As if this is what “Muslims” do. This endangers my family as people like Warmac and those even less intelligent than him have no concern about what is “reality”. To them, this continual flow of out of context and sometimes false things adds up to “danger” from “Muslims”. And then this flows out in hostility towards Muslims.
You cannot on the one hand be asking people to deal with reality and then supporting a White House divorced from it. Uncaring of it. The stuff that Warmac has posted about “Islam” and “Muslims” is distorted and in the main – false. Good people who help your neighbors every day in our area are being smeared by Warmac just like the Jews were by many different groups in history. What Warmac posts is propaganda. Nothing more accurate or reflective of the subject than a Scientology video on psychiatry.
And , oh the irony of Warmac commenting on bad parenting. He still supports Trump. The man who comments on his daughter’s sexy body in public and goes on the radio with her and talks about women he’s screwed. I hope Warmac doesn’t have kids.
PS,I had to scroll quite a while on foxnews to find an article about what Trump did. But I post it here since this seems to be the only mainstream source that Warmacians will accept. Trump is destroying our relationships around the world and is a daily embarrassment.
He is a danger to this nation. I think even some of the warmacians know it. And are coming to understand that Pence must be put in place ASAP and Trump must go. If this doesn’t happen, you will be responsible for what happens next. If people die in Korea it will be YOUR fault. You are already responsible for those who have died in the atmosphere he has inflamed already. He just inflamed more insanity. And you are responsible if you are not speaking out against this and demanding your president be in touch and concerned with reality.
I will remind anyone following that I am a true conservative. A true libertarian, in my politics. I want small government and less regulation. But I simply don’t care about that right now. A much greater danger has arisen to my family and our future than socialism or liberals. It is Trumpism. Warmacianism. Whatever you want to call it. So here is what you get in response for not continually telling these people what they are doing is wrong. VOTE DEMOCRAT! I don’t care what policies they come with any more. They come with a structure and culture that will protect my family. 10’s of millions of minority citizens feel the same way. You will be defeated if you do not defeat the evil within your party.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/11/29/british-pm-rips-trump-for-retweeting-muslim-attack-videos-from-uk-account.html
I agree with with your last sentence as follows: You will be defeated if you do not defeat evil.
This places appears as a refuge for the negativity and extreme fringe right that marginalizes the Republican Party. Instead of reaching to the center to convert votes (when you move one from the D column and add the same vote to the R column you quickly close a 60-40 gap), this site walks away from the center. This is a winning strategy — for Democrats!
Steve Brodie Tucker or Warmac. You cannot find common ground that satisfies them both. The former says capture the center, the latter says move to the right. Guess who is winning? (A hint: The other one can win elections.)
It’s fun when people can’t see their own biases …
Yes it is. it is also fun when people believe in fantasy because the government says it isn’t.
That’s fun for you? And what’s the relationship to “besieged Western European citizens”? To be clear: Election winners write history. If VA Republicans want to write history they need the center to win.
Tell that to the besieged Western European citizen.
Warmac, you love making assumptions. Putting Islam above American citizenship? What does that even mean? They are in different zones. Islam is my religion. American is my country. I live in a country where the two don’t have to mix and they don’t. I am proud to be an American. Heck look at my name. American comes first.
And duty? How do you know what I have done? I could have served in the military or I could have my kids in Scouts learning about patriotism. I could have been a guy on memorial day placing flowers on veterans graves. I could be completely different than your fantasies about Muslims.
And don’t give me that assimilation nonsense. American Muslims are highly assimilated. They are more educated and more wealthy than the average American. As to me personally, I guarantee I know more than you about American history and have experienced and respected more parts of this nation. I am 100% red blooded American. Just like my Muslim brothers who died in war defending this country and our constitution. But you don’t care about them. You love to hate.
You don’t have to remind me what Jesus said. If you know anything about actual Islam and not the fantasy version put out by terrorists, you would know we are taught to respect Jesus as a profit and to consider the Gospels as holy books. I have read the bible at least 12 times cover to cover and have studied Christianity extensively, including its many variations and nuances, I love Christians as my brothers and as fellow People of the Book. I love Jesus.
I don’t scream at you for pointing out my shortcomings. I scream at you for abandoning what I thought were conservative values of individual responsibility and intellectual honesty. You tell distortions about Islam (like the ridiculous Taqiyya thing I had never even heard of until after 9/11). You refuse to engage with Muslims and Imams. Of course there is no alternative but to call you a bigot. A non bigot would ask me what I think and not assume I am a liar. A non bigot would reach out to the community he is concerned about and ask questions of the people directly and spend time with them. A bigot just goes on reading whatever crazy websites and never engages with the other.
I have made ZERO excuses for the bad things Muslims do. There are tons of them. I even listed some. I acknowledge they are bad and they should change. I work very hard to change the few bad Muslim minds I can find online. I literally know no Muslims in the US who think those ways that concern you. But the fact that you think I should apologize reinforces your bigotry.
What do I have to do with what some crazy Muslim does in Syria or what even some guy going crazy over his failed life and confused sexuality does in Florida. In all these cases I don’t know these people. If I knew them I would do anything to stop them. I have no culpability for what they do. That is conservative values. Individual Responsibility for what you choose. They are the ones you should get an apology from. You didn’t apologize for what the idiots in Abu Ghraib did. You had nothing to do with it. Why should I apologize for things I detest and did not do? Just because their version of my religion and my version share the same name?
This has to stop warmac. Innocent people are being hurt by the spreading of propaganda. You are literally doing that. Go and spend a few Fridays at the Mosque. Talk to an Imam. Ask them what they believe and feel directly. Stop mouthing off about stuff you know little about and learn.
Or don’t. But if the people around you don’t stop this bigoted stuff from being a loud voice then you will see a political engagement from minorities that will devastate you. Just like in VA 2017. Ironically you complain about assimilation. You will see how assimilated all these minorities are when they exercise their rights to vote as citizens
I find it most interesting that you don’t call yourself a muslim American. Your emphasis, American Muslim, is on muslim first and America second – that is the way the english language works. An adjective clarifies the meaning of a noun.
Words do have meanings, and you are correct when you say this has to stop – but what has to stop is the constant stream of excuses for the violence inherent in the Islamic ideology. Were Christians to act like this, there would be an uprising against the religious order. As a matter of fact, such an uprising is underway because of the acceptance of perversions of all kinds by the mainline protestant churches.
In Europe, Christmas markets are being shutdown because they cannot afford the insurance or the protective barricades. Yet you are concerned because I call out the very worst of Islam as being part of the entire Islamic ideology. Sorry, but as time goes on it becomes ever clearer that islamophobia is but a word to suppress legitimate discussions and concerns about violence and abuse.
In the UK, there is yet another group of muslims being tried for operating a grooming gang. Well, to be accurate, the were operating a slave market only the slaves were temporary rather than permanent – young girls traded around for sex until they became useless for the trade. How about you condemn that rather than condemn me. I am utterly tired of decades of excuses for practices that go back over a thousand years.
wait, your only criticism is that the guy uses the widely accepted order of word – are you an English teacher? Looking at your writing, I know you are a radical, white nationalist intent on destroying the USA, but I never knew semantics was your field of experties
so sad that you devote any time to this while totally giving Trump a break on his Pocahontas remark. By now we all expect Trump to keep sinking lower but I had higher hopes for you
You completely missed the optics. Trump used the occasion to show the difference between the authentic and the fake..Brilliant…
HELLO! HAVE YOU NO VIRGINIA Pride!? Pocahontas – born Matoaka, known as Amonute, c. 1596–1617 – is a GENUINE VIRGINIA CELEBRITY of the FIRST ORDER! And you are such a Virginia-hating racist that you defend defaming her!? So, here we see that Republicans who defend Trump’s racism are ALSO VIRGINIA HISTORY HATERS! …. And you have the hypocritical NERVE to defend statues of White MEN but won’t defend a NATIVE AMERICAN YOUNG woman?
You do realize that one of Pocahontas blood relative loves Trump. And you have the nerve to bring racism into the discussion. Nothing like deviance from reality, is there?
Again, WHO CARES if the the Queen of Spades or the Ghost of Christmas Past loves Trump, or not. Trump DEFAMED and ABUSED a real true Virginia hero and celebrity!
Agreed. Equating Sen. Warren and Pocahontas is a great insult to Pocahontas.
EXACTLY! at last some one has some common sense about that. STOP repeating that! And SHAME TRUMP for doing it first and continugint to do ti.
rather than repeating IT and FAILING TO SHAME TRUMP for doing it first!
You are beginning to sound like that CNN reporter who challenge Sarah H. to prove that she actually created and baked her own pecan pie. Frankly, Trump has created quite accurate images of many of his opponents, and they tend to stick. I personally prefer Fauxahontas but nobody know who or what that is.
Caricatures can sometime be great art. I do not agree that Trump’s caricatures are great art, that are too much in poor taste, and are too often bullying of person with less power and privilege than Trump, and they are also not so much serving and intellectual purpose of disclosing something true, but rather they serve personal, often petty and pathetic purposes of shaming and bullying. However Baldwin’s caricature of Trump, and McCarthy’s caricature of the former WH spokesman are in a borderline approaching ‘great’ art because of detailed observation and re-creation of the subject (a significant artistic skill), because of artfully complex uses of language and imagery, and because they do NOT attempt to bully a less powerful figure.
So, being a smart ass is legitimate but being a dumb ass is rude. Both are jack asses.
sd is a troll who occasionally meanders into this board. He knows full well the implications of Trump’s remark.
Trump did not plan the remark – he simply said what was on his mind in an attempt to get people to like him – just like those school kids who do anything for attention. For you and the others here to defend him repeatedly is quite disturbing. It is almost as if you think he is a hero for being such a child – says more about you than him
you don’t get to decide. only those who are insulted can https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2017/11/28/pocahontas-racist-eric-trump-defends-his-dad-but-native-americans-say-otherwise/902837001/
and now we have Trump re-tweeting video clips that falsely claim a Muslim beat up a guy on crutches – when will Trump stop lying and when will the GOP and TBE call him out for his dreadful ways?
Muslims are beheading people. If all they do is beat some guys on crutches, they are having an off day.
wow – you simply cannot be trusted with truth, can you. Your insistence on supporting Trump despite the reality of what he is is astonishing. Here you are spreading the same the lies he retweeted while knowing them to be false. Can you or him get any lower? My magic 8-ball says sure you can.
Are you claiming that Muslims are not beheading people?
Actually, that is the problem with the left. In the face of overwhelming evidence they still claim it isn’t true because the don’t want it to be true. Essentially, they close their eyes, put their fingers in their ears, and yell “nanananana” as loud as possible.
wait, are you actually claiming that Trump is a genius despite overwhelming evidence? Take your fingers out of your ears and take the blind folds off – your continued support of the guy is distrubing
Trump pulled off the greatest political victory in 100+ years. He is a genius.
What scares me the most is not that people like you breed but that you teach your children how to not read or think for themselves
I am claiming that Trump posted a false video that he knew to be fake and you are perpetuating the lie here – pay attention to the thread. the guy on crutches was not beat up by a Muslilm and you know it, but you posted the lie here in hope of someone new believing it. You are the problem, not the solution
You missed my earlier point. If the video is true, then it is mild by the barbaric standards of islamofanaticism. There is so much true and accurate video of islamic barbarians that one particular video is of no consequence. Pull up the thousands of real ones.
just by saying “if the video is true” you are promoting the video as true – depsite knowing for certain that it is not. Next you will start doubting the video of Trump saying nasty things about women to Billy Bush
Trump is uncomfortable to watch, but he is a branding genius.
“Crooked Hillary”, “Low Energy Jeb”, “Pocahontas” … Trump knows how to tag someone with a brand they can’t easily get away from.
The reason “Pocahontas” pisses Progressives off so much is because it’s so clearly on point, it uses Warren’s own comments to attack her on the one thing she’s got going for her with her own supporters, and that’s authenticity and standing for something. Let’s remember why this is even a thing, it’s because Warren … who apparently doesn’t have a drop of Native American blood in her … claimed she was a Native American when she was in college, and is accused of doing so to gain special treatment there. That’s going to haunt her all through her run for President. Trump is NEVER going to let her get past that. EVER. And the more angry it makes Progressives, the more you know it’s a “thing”.
branding genius? You write as if Trump has a plan and not simply spitting out anything that pops into his mouth. The reason the Pocahontas remark was terrible is because it was terrible. Not sure why you want to defend it? But it tells me alot about you and I can only hope that your grandkids don’t inherit your hatred
If I recall correctly, Sleeping Beauty cannot and will not awaken until kissed by her prince. So, if we buy Mrs. Hall’s complaint, Sleeping Beauty will never be kissed and therefore sleep forever. Terrible waste of a beautiful princess.
Hey ….
QUOTE
waste of a beautiful princess.
UNQUOTE
Way to GO with the CHATTEL MISOYGNY, making ‘pussy’ a piece of property, etc.
Hey, dummy, if she never wakes up then she is in permanent vegetative state. Thus, Mrs. Hall, has relegated a beautiful princess to an effective death. Is that a waste of a life, you of all people, ranting and raving about Republicans not being concerned about the already born, ought to recognize that.
Let us FACT CHECK your statement. I have been POA for a WW2 veteran when they were in a vegetative state. Such are NOT ‘vegetables’, are NOT ‘inhuman’, and NOT – as you claim ‘WASTE’! WASTE you called them. WASTE.
Well, you will have to further educate me as I remember the left screaming for the head of Terry Schavio who was eventually killed by her husband pulling the plug. He claimed, and the court agreed, that she was in a permanent vegetative state with no hope of recovery. Thus she was a real princess put to death.
Ms Schiavo’s cardiac arrest was in 1990. The legal wrangling among family members went on for years. Schiavo died in 2005 after numerous court findings that her wishes would be that the feeding tube should be removed. This is consistent under the jurisprudence of Cruzan v. Director, Missouri Department of Health, 497 U.S. 261 (1990) in United States Supreme Court, Cruzan case involved young adult unable to state personal preferences for health care. In a 5–4 decision, the Court affirmed earlier ruling of the Supreme Court of Missouri and ruled in favor of the State of Missouri, finding it was acceptable to require “clear and convincing evidence” of a patient’s wishes for removal of life support. A significant outcome of the case was the creation of advance health directives. Not long after Cruzan – which was a closely decided case in SCOTUS and an area of social policy unfamiliar and frightening to many Americans – Schiavo case came along. Cruzan FOUND under law that ‘clear and convincing’ was the evidentiary standard for such a difficult act in health care – removing treatment that might hasten death (but not cause death) – and the SCHIAVO case was about WHO had the LEGAL AUTHORITY to exercise decisionmaking that has a ‘clear and convincing’ basis. Two lower courts in Florida found that found that Terri Schiavo was in a persistent vegetative state and that she had made reliable oral declarations that she would have wanted the feeding tube removed. Family members argued – unsuccessfully in court – that their belief that she was Roman Catholic was ‘clear and convincing’ evidence that she WOULD NOT the feeding tube to be removed. So, very difficult. But the Florida courts decided to protect YOU decisions; If you has once been a Satanist and believed that your body should be submitted to Satanic rituals to keep you alive, and your Satanist parents demanded that the rituals be allowed, BUT your spouse argued that you had, in fact, and with evidence presented, converted to Judaism and that you would NOT want Satanic rituals, whose decision would you want the court to honor?
I wonder if you ever heard of the scandal of the Liverpool Care Pathway. I suggest you look up it up as it is quite an interesting discussion of how the State and the medical profession conspired to dictate the end of life. In addition, when family members are assumed to be simply compassionate rather than self-interested, you get another set of horrors.
Actually, I think you are suggesting the Schiavo died in 1990 but her body was kept alive for 15 years thanks to technology. Thus we now have another type of question – what is actual death? In the old days, the wealthy dead were often buried with long trumpets sticking out of the ground so if they weren’t really dead they could be heard when the called out.
To me, I like the idea of eternal life just not here on earth. I think Jesus would agree with me as I agree with him.
Schiavo ‘died’ when and as declared by a physician’s pronouncement of death.
Terry Schiavo was a travesty of the liberal media who deceived the public. Terry was not a vegetable. She moved her eyes in response to people. She could sense things happening around her. She could not eat or move or do much of anything by herself, but she was alive and cognizant. She was murdered by her husband and the “doctors” who cared for her with the complicity of the State. She died the horrible death of dehydration, not starvation.
There is a special place in hell for these “doctors” right next to the Nazi experimenters.
The Liverpool Care Pathway is pretty much the same thing when abused by the medical profession.
YOUR problem apparently is with MEDICINE. NOT ‘Democrats’, NOT ‘TEA Party’, NOT the Cat in the Hat, etc …. have anything to do with the practice of MEDICINE. Medicine defines and declares ‘vegetative state’ under law. You are very welcome to start a movement to change the law to allow Shamans, Priests, Imams, or Wall Street Bankers to define and declare medical diagnoses, and care plans. But it you do, you’re a fool!
Yes, she was legally in a vegetative state. Most people think that means she just lied there and couldn’t do anything at all and had next to no brain waves. That is patently false. She would respond when her parents entered the room with the very little movement she had.
We, as a society, cold blooded murdered her through tortuous dehydration. I even believe the judge forced her parents not to give her anything.
It was a low-point of American society.
Edward, you saying that if you were a cartoon you wouldn’t try to tag that ?
Men do sometimes treat women like sex objects.
And women do sometimes treat men like success objects.
But that doesn’t make all men or women bad people.
The only bad people in it are the ones trying to keep people divided with identity politics.
Sorry, but we consistently believe
that the fundamental and transcendent principle is that all humans are to be treated with respect and protection for their human dignity
that means that
not to treat complex human persons as ‘identities’, ‘stereotypes’, ‘objects’, etc
NOT by sexual objectification
NOT as pawns in identity politics
NOT as widgets for the purposes of Wall Street, or Main Street
etc
We have a consistent principle. You do not.
No, in this very thread you’ve stereotyped people as “Trump supporters”, “People who defend Trump”, “Republicans”, and that was just from glancing at posts you’ve made on this thread because I’m too lazy to go look at your other posts.
Me, I treat people as individuals. That means I’m able to see that some women are total a-holes. That some women are gold diggers. That some women hate, and steal. That some women use their bodies to get advantages in this world.
All women ?
No, but some women.
I don’t have to put women up on some kind of pedestal and claim they are victims, that they can’t look out for themselves, that they need our projection … you do that.
I give women the respect they deserve and assume they can look out for themselves without me white knighting for them, that they have brains enough to take care of themselves, and that they have enough agency to be total b*tches and a-holes sometimes. Because they aren’t a victim group … they’re individual human beings.
