We will see how this goes. These books should not be in schools for kids.

I agree but burning books is ridiculous. Way to go, you just behaved like the Nazis. Think that gesture will sway undecided voters to your campaign?

It’s a stunt and nothing like what the nazis did. I agree it’s a bit polarizing but this isn’t what the nazis did other than the physical act of burning the books. Nazis also did a lot of things that both sides currently are doing today so are we all going to be Nazis. I can surely bet the left has burned things like the American flag, banned much in schools, and surely hate the Jews.

So you agree, the nazis burned books. A stupid gesture given its historical association with the nazis.

hell we burned witches ..

books ..

If a lefty burned a few books it would be considered Free Speech.

This may or may not help her election. Regardless, as far as I'm concerned it sends a message that needs to be sent - fuck the child manipulators.

Back in 66’ they tried burning the Beatles away when Lennon said they were more popular than Christ. Turned out to be better publicity than they ever got.

That may be true, but book burning is never a good look.

Yes I agree it happened but Nazis drove cars to so are democrats Nazis for driving cars? I don’t agree that burning some books makes them like a nazi.

 

[fresch]

I'm voting for her and don't even live in that state!
After learning about book burning, did we forget about the damage the homosexual community is doing throughout the world? Burn a homo or a homo book?
Forget the Nazis as they have nothing on the freaks that are burning the world down today.
What about all the books, plowed under in the landfills, incinerated, destroyed.
The communist burn books, people, etc, they all just get a pass, don't fall for the easy oh that's nazis. Just like That's raaacist way way over used.
Who here would not burn every homosexual book in order to save ... Just one child?
Pull out of the left word mind control; what is right and what is wrong.

All those books the Nazi's burned? Yea, they were kiddy porn, deviancy, pornography, etc. Reprehensible as they were or made out to be, the changes they were implementing were to build a much stronger Nation and its People, one of which we are still fascinated with and vilifying 78 years after the War...not everything they did was wrong or a bad idea.

 

[fresch]

We used all the medical information that came from Inhumane treatment.
We used all the tech, ...

These books should not be in schools for kids.

Absolutely agree.

It's not whether we do ANYTHING that Nazis did. It's the symbolism of WHY the Nazis were burning books.
Once you start taking away peoples rights to free speech, free accumulation of knowledge (whether or not you think it is knowledge is immaterial), etc., you become a dictator. You are essentially saying "I'm the only one who can decide what is real and what is 'misinformation'."
That is why we decry what the Nazis were doing, not just because of the physical act of burning a book.

It's that symbolism, among other things, that keep torpedoing the chances of a GOP takeover in this country. It will be interesting to see how the whole "misinformation cabinet" in the Democrat's version of our government will torpedo their upcoming election chances.

 

[thughes]

Book burning is never acceptable, you don't get to pick-and-chose liberties.

"Nazi" is one of the new leftist buzz words. Trump gets called a nazi frequently, and also a racist frequently as do other right wingers.
Think back a while and Trump was generally called a "dictator". Dictator was over used plus wasn't strong enough, so Nazi became in vogue for the lefties.

Nazi's ate steak, smoked cigs, drank beer & liquor. So if you or I do the same am I/we Nazis? Burning trash doesn't come close to being a Nazi.
I won't fall into the lefty mis-labeling bullshit. Me... I'll leave the labeling up to the leftists. Well, not that I'll stop throwing out the occasional insults LOL.

Below is a quote from the link. I totally agree with her. And I say Kudos to her, go for it, burn materials used to indoctrinate children.

"Maicoll Gomez, Gomez's campaign director, said in an emailed statement that the “message is simple.”

“You want to be gay? Fine be gay. Just don’t do it around children,” the statement said. “Stop putting books in libraries about sexualization, indoctrination and grooming of children. Children need to learn mathematics, science, developing their people skills, getting fit, while protecting their innocence. Not learning the ideologies that the radical left loves to push on children. I am against all drag shows around children, pride flags in classrooms, teachers with pronouns, people wanting to ‘change’ genders, and people that can’t even define what a woman is. If genitals don’t define gender, how does removing them affirm it. I only fear God.”

 

[FrankenCub]

She used a flame thrower, what's not to love!
I dont agree with book burning in general but some content that they are exposing children to now is just down right fucked up. We could hang the authors?

What damage, specifically, is the "homosexual community" doing around the world?

I do like the sentiment "do what you want and learn about what you want, just not in front of our kids." Because you know damn well if it was a religious fable this happened with there would be a thermonuclear war.

My problem is simply where the money is coming from. There shouldn't be public schools, but I digress.

 

[Pale Rider]

Book burning is never acceptable, you don't get to pick-and-chose liberties.

If you own the books, liberty says you can burn them if you wish.

 

[Darth]

These are public library books.

So in essence he burned your cash without your consent.

She’s not saying to ban/burn them altogether she is simply saying these books and actions to push kids towards this lifestyle shouldn’t be done by the schools and governments as they are now. I fully agree with that. Parents are losing their rights quickly and that’s been talked about on here regularly. I have never seen these personally but I have seen some supposed screen shots of some of their pages and they are way too graphic for kids to see. Remember every book and anything that has the image of a gun in schools is banned. They are fighting for books to stay in schools that depict gay oral sex and that’s not right.

 

[spat]

If you own the books, liberty says you can burn them if you wish.

You can. It is still terrible optics.

Burning books that you own as an expression of political speech is legal, as it should be.

But, so is waving a Nazi flag.

Both are a statement that nobody should make, but nobody should be prohibited from making.

Yep, liberty can be ugly at times......

@Darth
The decay of morality.
"trans" shooting up the place.
Groomers praying on young minds.
Keep it in the closet, not drag shows, now being tv is mostly cable it is put in shows, movies, etc, shown as normal; children need to be protected from all evil, adults have all the fun you want, but I personally do not want it pushed by the media, schools, government.

What "mortality" is being decayed?

Trans shooting up the place? Thankfully we didn't have any mass shootings before this? I'm personally more concerned about the murders than what the lunatics identity as.

What is "evil" about it exactly?

I don't mean this in a rude way, but nobody really cares if you "want it." Look how much they push religion in everything. I don't "want " any part of that, but it's not my place to ban it. The exception for both is if public funds are used. In which case, as I stated, I don't think public schools should even be a thing.

I'm not saying I disagree with that.

But her burning books in her campaign ad does evoke an image that she would support banning them altogether.
There are far better ways to get her point across without raising the specter of dictatorship.
It's her right to "speak" as she wants, but don't complain when your campaign flounders worse than the Edmund Fitzgerald in a storm because of it.

 

[stokes]

Look how much they push religion in everything.

They outlawed religion in schools many years ago, I see nothing wrong with outlawing teaching 2nd graders that its ok to cut your cock off. To me she's not burning the books but burning the ideology of them.

I had no clue religion was pushed in public schools. I agree with you the issue is and the issue I have is them pushing it on people. They are pushing these books and their thoughts on kids and that’s an issue. The other issue is if you do t attend a gay pride parade these days you’re considered a bigot. I don’t have a parade for being straight so they shouldn’t get one either. If an adult wants to read the book or I guess even read it to their kid then I don’t have an issue with it. I do t think it should be shown or pushed on any kids but if a parent wants to who am I to say what they do.

I had no clue not attending a gay pride parade made me a bigot. Sounds made up.

Have you honestly never heard any variation of the following?

"Back in my day we started the day with the pledge!"

"... but you can't pray in school!":

"Bibles are banned in school!"

"These school shootings are because we took GOD out of schools!"

"Evolution is just a theory!"

...

You may never have. But I assure you it's prevalent.
