Brickbat: Rough Landing

A group of students from a Catholic school in South Carolina and their chaperones were kicked out of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C., in January because they were wearing hats that said "pro-life." The group had just attended a pro-life rally. When a South Carolina TV station asked about the incident, a museum spokesperson said, "Asking visitors to remove hats and clothing is not in keeping with our policy or protocols. We provided immediate training to prevent a re-occurrence of this kind of incident, and have determined steps to ensure this does not happen again."

Damn, a Neutral Zone'? I hate f'n trekkies.
I am making a good salary from home $6580-$7065/week , which is amazing under a year ago I was jobless in a horrible economy. I thank God every day I was blessed with these instructions and now it’s my duty to pay it forward and share it with Everyone,
🙂 AND GOOD LUCK. 🙂
Here is I started.……......>> http://WWW.SALARYBEZ.COM
It is revealing. The way those museum employees behaved is actually how those people think.
I get paid over 190$ per hour working from home with 2 kids at home. I never thought I’d be able to do it but my best friend earns over 10k a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The potential with this is endless. Heres what I’ve been doing..

Google is by and by paying $27485 to $29658 consistently for taking a shot at the web from home. I have joined this action 2 months back and I have earned $31547 in my first month from this action. I can say my life is improved completely! Take a gander at it what I do…..

Would "Anti-Life" hats be OK? How about "All Lives Matter"? How about "White Lives Matter"? How about "No One's Really Life Matters Anyway"?
These are WIDE OPEN topics for experimental research, and maybe even some juicy, fat research grants!!!
Trying to do science at the science museum?
How about a Cthulhu 2024 No Lives Matter hat?

Don't settle for the lesser of two evils. Vote Elder Party!
If I ever visit the Smithsonian again, I'll be sure to wear something that triggers the lefturds.

How about, 'I went to the Smithsonian and couldn't find a hat I agreed with'.
"I showed up on time because I'm white."
"Black culture means never having to buy a Father's Day card."
"If I were Black, I'd call you a racist dick to your face."
For more inspiration see: https://thefederalist.com/2020/07/15/smithsonian-pushes-racist-material-claiming-white-culture-is-nuclear-family-self-reliance-being-polite/
What's funny is all the Karens in Moms4Liberty will see that infographic and shriek, "This is not like us at all!"
But it characterizes them and the rest of #TheReligiousWhite to a T. The absurd CRT panic is a backlash against Blacks and other minorities uniting and being seen publicly in the 2020 protests.
The same big mouths insist on hetero culture too (heteronormative). The braindead "groomer" panic is backlash against gains in gays' equality.
"Every TV channel I click through has homosexuals! Stop shoving your sexuality down our throats," which is a great euphemism but a strange statement.
Why is the anti-gay hate group Alliance Defending Freedom committed to legalizing discrimination against gay couples getting married? That's when gays are most visible as being indisputably gay.
We provided immediate training to prevent a re-occurrence of this kind of incident,
Fuck that. Fire them.

Public sector union government employees? Are you mad?
Make them pay for the students to take another trip from South Carolina to DC.
If the complaint accurately describes events, the museum employees were wrong. Superstition-addled, fledgling right-wing bigots from nonsense-teaching, discriminatory southern schools have rights, too.
Life affirming stances are superstitious. Death is science .
...have determined steps to ensure this does not happen again.
Stopping them at the door.
Freeze their assets and shoot their dogs.
The will “volunteer “ to leave.
There are publicly accessible assault style fire extinguishers located inside the museum. Denying entrance is the right call.
Exercising 1A on public property is incongruent with progressive beliefs. The students are fortunate they were not shot.
There has never been a more persecuted group of people than conservatives. We're talking about the history of the world here.
You’re ok with school kids wearing messages with which you disagree being kicked out of a public space because of those messages?
When Code Pink did their Thomas Jefferson Memorial Dance Party and were subsequently arrested, I called the Park Police while it was happening and told them they were violating the 1A rights of Americans. I’m not a big Code Pink fan but I am one of 1A. After being hung up on several times, the subsequent calls were automatically transferred to the DC public library.
They should have danced to fiddle music. Jefferson played the fiddle, didn't he? Or was it that he fiddled around?
We’re talking about the history of the world here.
Rather quintessentially. The only thing required for conservatism to be effective is inaction. In the face of such inaction, progressivism can only succeed broadly through violent and oppressive action. The Pharaoh didn't enslave the Jews because he wanted to live a quiet, modest, conventional life. The Roman Emperors didn't capture and enslave members of the surrounding barbarian tribes because they wanted to live a quiet, modest, conventional life. The plantation owners didn't send boats to Africa to capture slaves because they wanted to live a quiet, modest, conventional life. The Nazis didn't round up Jews, political dissidents, European citizens, etc. because they wanted to live a quiet, modest, conventional life.
They may not all fit your exceedingly modern, narrow, and likely politically-tainted definition of Western or even American conservatism, but the Jews certainly weren't lining up to get in the gas chamber and the blacks certainly weren't willingly boarding slave ships in the name of social progress.
The only thing required for conservatism to be effective is inaction.
Bull. Conservatism includes a healthy dose of legislated morality. That means locking up druggies, rounding up hookers and johns, ostracizing homosexuals, and otherwise being proactively hostile to personal liberty. Today's conservatives aren't happy unless they're standing on someone's neck.
This is where the response, with specific receipts just from *checks notes* 2020-2023 alone can point out the total NAZIfication of the so-called liberal class, now correctly referred to as the progressive class comes in, with screeching responses of 'whataboutism! whataboutism! whataboutism! whataboutism! whataboutism! whataboutism!
Whataboutism is a the tu quoque fallacy. What I did is excused because of something you did first.
I'm just responding to his argument. He specifically said "inaction," so I'm refuting that by pointing out action.
Today’s conservatives
I mentioned your narrow, contemporary, politically biased brand of conservatism before you even trotted it out like a retard.
And, again, I can’t and won’t stop you from being an illiterate, unthinking retard. But that doesn’t mean I have to accept it when you attempt to foist the vastness of your stupidity on myself and others. If you were just a mild-mannered, conservative, content to quietly edify yourself or even just stew in your own mental infirmity, there wouldn’t be a problem. But you, apparently, can’t help but foist your stupidity on others in order to satiate some need for some conception of progress.
Read the Comstock laws. While Christian Klansmen were murdering blacks in Grant County Louisiana, the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice was burning books and stuffing prisons. In both cases the violence was directed against the peaceful with imagined vice or "wrong collective" as the pretext. That's conservative national socialism.
Just see The Darkening Age, by Nixey. The first record of Jesus freaks was a Roman bureaucrat complaining about this new cult whose members insisted on being put to death because of an imaginary illiterate rabbi from a previous century. To mystics, "pro-life" means threaten actual individuals with loaded guns.
Strangely enough, this was not reported in the Washington Post.
Very revealing. You learn more about people by what they don't say than what they actually do say. When they say something you just ignore it. But when they don't say something you get to explain why. Then if anything they do or say contradicts your imaginings, you get to call them a liar.
Poor sarc.
I graduated from high school in DC. While it has national distribution, the Post has always been the premier print outlet for local news. It is a spectacular oversight to miss a group of students being ousted over a political message from a free public museum in their home city, particularly one that is a national landmark devoted to history and science.
Was there anything else you wanted to be a disingenuous twat about, or are you done for the day?
The re-training will probably be to have the museum employees call the cops and claim they were trying to do an insurrection or something.
The Smithsonian? The same government institution that created a display and published a poster critical of white privilege culture? That can't be right.
>>Asking visitors to remove hats and clothing is not in keeping with our policy or protocols.
"everybody get naked! c'mon it'll be great"
We're all gonna get laid!
love it.
"Asking visitors to remove hats and clothing is not in keeping with our policy or protocols. We provided immediate training to prevent a re-occurrence of this kind of incident, and have determined steps to ensure this does not happen again."
This decision was made after the school group was already on their flight back home. Therefore the lesson was effective. Don't push limits.

What about "Thur Warnt NO Moon Landings" caps?
We’d believe you if you told us many folks have explored Uranus.
IIRC, Covington Catholic High School students were treated poorly when they attended the Lincoln Memorial a few years ago, too.
True but have you ever been to DC? It is a utopia gifted to us all through decades of progressive monopoly. Fresh air, peaceful, clean streets, friendly people, everything functions, affordable and crime is non-existent. The bitter clingers should follow their lead.
New York and Detroit are following the same path. It’s going to be fabulous.
D.C. where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average.
