Dale, I don't like it any more from the left than from the right.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree but it is, by far, imo, more of a left agenda than it is a right one.

You won't have to worry about either left or right soon. Our alien overlords are going to make themselves known in the near future. Then we will have real problems. I have this on good authority. I seen it on both Facebook and Twitter.

We're having an adult conversation here, Ben. I know it's hard for you to grasp and understand but why don't you go grab yourself a juice box and a fruit rollup then sit back and try to learn something for a change.

I learn something new with every one of your amazing posts.

Will they be releasing a Green Refractor insert set before they take over the world?

The whole 1962 set will be reprised.

I hope not the only uglier set is the wood grain 87 Topps set.

I mean the Mars Attacks set.

Ok, now this thread is getting controversial!

I would think they'd reissue the scarce 1947 regional issue with the Roswell backstamp, maybe add a weather balloon relic insert.

That is hilarious and I have met more than one person like Steven in real life and many on forums.

I am probably on balance a little to the right of center especially these days and I do like some of what DeSantis has done, and maybe that's why seeing him stoop to the level of unnecessary censorship bothers me a great deal. IMO it's just a bad precedent and the non-Trump Republicans should be above such things.

I don't think that genie is going back in the bottle. Straight up lunacy is now widely accepted as a legitimate political position. That may change over time but I don't see it going away anytime soon.

I honestly don't think he is stooping to unnecessary censorship, he is just making sure, imo, no race baiting, critical race theory, gender reassignment info, LGBTQ info, among other things, are in these grade school books?

I am pretty sure he is an advocate for free speech as well but he knows/recognizes being a certain age to be able to understand such things, especially of a sexual nature, is important too.
These drag queens and the like reading and dancing for these toddlers is something I never imagined would ever happen. It's insanity, and guess what party is pushing it?

[Peter_Spaeth]

I would not give a public official authority to decide what is or is not race baiting. If a kids' book on Roberto Clemente is under scrutiny, something is wrong with that picture. BTW I went to school with Kim Crenshaw, credited with being one of the founders of critical race theory.
