Declaration Of Independence Is Hate Speech???
A Texas newspaper has been posting the Declaration of independence paragraph by paragraph for the last week and it was banned by Facebook's hate speech algorithms. We live in interesting times!
There must be an end to this intimidation by those who come to this great country, but reject its culture.

Well, FB backed off, but you can bet serious money that wasn't originally done by an inanimate algorithm but instead some tinpot faceless AntiF--k pussy.
I'm not old--It's too early to be this late.

Apparently is was the part with the phrase "savage Indians."
Maybe TJ should have used the phrase "Native Americans at an earlier stage of civilizational development."

Well, yes. I'm sure the sentiments expressed in the Declaration are hateful to would-be tyrants...and to the tokhe straav'. Tyrants don't like to be caught out, and slaves don't like being reminded.

I see someone else has read 'The Final Reflection' by John M. Ford. One of the more interesting, but unfortunately non-canon, Star Trek novels. 'Willing slaves' is a very accurate description for most of the left these days.MiddleAgedKen wrote: ↑Thu Jul 05, 2018 5:15 pm Well, yes.

It is a great novel. I would have read more about Krenn and Kelly.

We need to take the name "Tohke Straav" mainstream. It just fits so well.MiddleAgedKen wrote: ↑Thu Jul 05, 2018 5:15 pm Well, yes.

Same here -- and Mak. "They showed a picture of the g'dayt ugliest Klingon I ever saw, all fangs and scars, and they were talking about him as if he were just the run of the Imperial Race. Then I saw it was me."
