We don't need queers

I asked you yesterday to post the link to these Tweets so we can see them for ourselves. You ignored my request then. So now I'm asking you again.

Here is Speaker Pelosi's Twitter page. Where are those two Tweets?

I posted her Twitter page. You keep making the claim. There is her page. Now please show everyone those two Tweets you said are on that page. I can't see them anywhere.

Good grief. She said "we don't need voices that . . . " and you're saying "she's calling on people to talk."

And you have the nerve to call me dishonest for NOT pretending she said the very opposite of her actual words.

If gaslighting could be harnessed as an energy source, your position here could power a major city for a month.

RaleBulgarian's "argument": "When they said 'no Irish need apply,' they were calling on people to apply, and you're dishonest or stupid for saying they didn't want Irish."

Good grief is correct. You are being completely dishonest.

“Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) speaks at Netroots Nation conference on Saturday: "I don't want to bring a chair to an old table. This is the time to shake the table. This is the time to redefine that table. Because if you're going to come to this table, all of you who have aspirations of running for office. If you’re not prepared to come to that table and represent that voice, don’t come, because we don't need any more brown faces that don't want to be a brown voice. We don’t need black faces that don't want to be a black voice. We don't need Muslims that don’t want to be a Muslim voice. We don’t need queers that don't want to be a queer voice. If you’re worried about being marginalized and stereotyped, please don't even show up because we need you to represent that voice."

Over and over, Pressley is saying “come be a voice” “and if you’re not willing to be a voice, don’t come”.

How friggin’ much more clear to anyone can that be? “Shut up” is absolutely the opposite of what Pressley is calling for.

If you’re this thickheaded all of the time, I bet you never get repeat clients.

It's hilarious that you bold the "don't come," but pretend it isn't there, and pretend that most of the quote isn't about excluding "faces" or "voices."

I mean, it's staggeringly funny. You're either outright lying, or you don't understand it, or you're in a deep level of gurgling partisan denial. It's a fascinating spectacle in any of those cases.

"We don't need queers that don't want to be a queer voice," said black racist democrat Ayanna Pressley, to which Trump responded that if disgruntled Americans do not like America then let them go somewhere else.

Pressley essentially said that if you are a queer and you cannot support democrat narratives about queers then keep you mouth shut, we don't need you saying anything. She suggested that if you are brown or black and cannot support the democrat narratives related to browns and blacks then keep your mouth shut, we don't need you talking. Black racist democrats are extremely bigoted, narrow minded, racist leftists, and they don't mind telling people they want all other viewpoints silenced.

I'm at work and can't watch right now. Does she mention "we don't need any more female faces that don't want to be a female voice?" I'm trying to determine how "inclusive" she's being towards women in general. By women, I'm referring to those Americans with a gash between their legs, and excluding those Americans that don't have a gash, but rather an appendage.

It’s staggeringly sad that your bias has so taken over your consciousness that you cannot recognize what is staring you in the face.

I’ve wasted enough time with you. Have a nice day.

Ayanna Pressley says:

If you're a black voice and you don't agree with my black voice, don't come.
If you're a Muslim voice and you don't agree with my Muslim voice, don't come.
If you're a queer voice and you don't agree with my queer voice, don't come.


Imagine Trump saying at a rally ...

If you're a white voice and you don't agree with my white voice, don't come.
If you're a Christian and you don't agree with my Christian voice, don't come.
If you're a straight voice and you don't agree with my straight voice, don't come.

If dems are racist, dems cheer.

If dems wish to stir up controversy, dems pass resolutions in the house condemning GOP 'racism'. Or dems make up elaborate stories that GOPs threw bleach on them and placed nooses around their neck. Or said a 17-year-old was being controversial to an Indian... Can we ever trust dems?

There is nothing wrong with the word "queer" used respectfully. What do you think Q in "LGBTQ" stands for? Her point was simple: she is asking for members of groups fighting for equality to join that fight, or don't join them in their fight. Some gay people fight AGAINST gay rights as Republicans, for example. Not exactly needed for the progressive political movement. They still have individual rights.

Some blacks are not obsessed with being black. Some gays are not obsessed with being gay. Some women are not obsessed with being female.

Some people believe they are more than superficial appearance. They don't want every single thing they do or say to be about their race or sex.

I'm afraid it's you who can't understand plain English. It's abundantly clear that the 'don't come' refers to those who aren't interested in standing up for whichever group was mentioned. It's there-and you even had it bolded for you. Maybe large Crayola primary colours would make it easier for you?

Yep.

The democrats have no actual respect for any non-whites. Minorities are simply a playing piece for their politics. If you refuse to play their game, their bigotry starts to show.
 
Nap said:
What is the difference between Bernie and the rest of the Democrats? As far as I can tell the only difference that he is simply honest about what he is and what he wants to do and truly believes in his ideals. From a policy stand point though there really isn't much separation between any of the Democratic candidates. What policy does Bernie support that any of the other Democrats will not at least say they support?

That is why I probably would have voted for him, had be become the democratic nominee.

I like how you rebuke me by confirming what I said:

Harshaw said:
No, she said the exact opposite of that. She said the people in those groups should only have one voice, and that any other voices are unwelcome.

Not "diverse voices." Lock-step conformity, or the door.

Outlook said:
Double standard as usual.
Can you imagine if Trump said:
We don’t need any more white faces that don’t want to be a white voice. Or
If he used the word queer.
The mainstream media would be all over it. CNN would have 24/7 news coverage with a parade of people analyzing his comments.
