Boycotting something is not censorship. Anyone is welcome to boycott Breitbart all day long. They can go on facebook or teitter or whatever they want to and have pictures of them boycotting Breitbart.

But, when you start telling advertisers that you will talk badly about their company, not because of something that company does, but because they advertise on Brietbart, you are then censoring Brietbart.
That is what censorship is, telling others not to like the things you don't like. A group of things (Sleeping Giant) is trying to shut down Brietbart by telling advertisers not to advertise on Brietbart for the purpose of suppressing parts deemed objectionable on moral, political, military, or other grounds.

Do you see the difference?

@McGentrix,
The Young Ones and Python are part of a great tradition of British surrealist humour. Some hipster Americans like to reference it, even though most of it shoots over their heads and they'd be hard pressed to give any other examples. Like this.

And you know full well, because you are caught out so often, you catch yourself out, showing what a hypocrite you are.

And besides, it's important to keep your nazi heritage.

The Nazi Roots of the Word “Cultural Marxism”

by Jerlerup on February 15, 2017 in Breitbart Watch, Loon-at-large, Loonwatch Updates

Islamophobes often use the word “Cultural Marxism.” If you believe or support the rights of Muslims or the rights of women, homosexuals or black people you are a cultural Marxist in the eyes of some. The key “think tank” behind the Trump administration, Steve Bannon’s Breitbart, often use the word Cultural Marxism. But what is its origin? The word cultural marxism was invented by Adolf Hitler and the Nazis in the early 1920’s and the present day Islamophobes have just “borrowed” it from the antisemities and Nazis.

Breitbart views so called “Cultural Marxism”as the root of all evil. Cultural Marxism destroys language. Cultural Marxists want to have equality between the sexes. They threaten Western civilization, hate God and love Muslims and Homosexuals.

Ugh, I don't believe in censorship in most cases. Like 99.99999% of the time. But, That itty-bitty, teeny-tiny bit of time is used towards people like camlok. Please don't reply to it as I am hoping it will goa awy if we all just ignore it.

I have a very few users, who add nothing of value to the world, on ignore. My life is better that way. I implore you to at least not post replies to it.

A ringing tribute to your logic.

U.S. CORPORATIONS AND THE NAZIS

"A clique of U.S. industrialists is hell-bent to bring a fascist state to supplant our democratic government and is working closely with the fascist regime in Germany and Italy. I have had plenty of opportunity in my post in Berlin to witness how close some of our American ruling families are to the Nazi regime. . . .

"Certain American industrialists had a great deal to do with bringing fascist regimes into being in both Germany and Italy. They extended aid to help Fascism occupy the seat of power, and they are helping to keep it there." - William E. Dodd, U.S. Ambassador to Germany, 1937.(1)

A large volume of documentary evidence exists that reveals that many of the richest, most powerful men in the United States, and the giant corporations they controlled, were secretly allied with the Nazis, both before and during World War II, even after war was declared between Germany and America. This alliance began with U.S. corporate investment during the reconstruction of post-World War I Germany in the 1920s and, years later, included financial, industrial and military aid to the Nazis.

Because their targets are being hit. It's rank hypocrisy. People with integrity do not need vast amounts of advertising revenue to say what they believe in. The fact that Breitbarters and their lickspittles are kicking up such a fuss shows where their priorities lie.

I found this post a little confusing, Gent. It's not clear if you're telling Cammy to refrain my replying to me, or vice versa. I assume it's the latter, but maybe not.

A few posts back, Blathy told Cammy to put me on ignore, as he always does.

Personally, I don't put anyone on ignore, and I respond to whatever I may feel like responding to at the time.

Sorry if that makes you unhappy.

The truth is that the "legislation" is obviously an 11 oclock effort. As recent as two weeks ago, they had not a golfers putt about it.

I'm not sure that's true. But I don't see how it matters. What matters is how good the legislation is.

I still have questions, but it doesn't look too bad from what I can tell.

But the US has definitely not been trying for the last number of years to overthrow the Syrian government.

Your ignorant sarcasm happens to accidentally be correct.

Obama did not try to overthrow Assad. Trump is not going to try to overthrow Assad either.

I guess. Personally I'm against selling my soul to the Devil. We could had destroyed Islamic State without embracing Assad's genocide.

That is what it looks like to me. However, the tax credits are not enough to cover healthcare costs, for example, the maximum tax credit for anyone is $4000 (if you're older than 60) and someone who is 20 can only get a $2000 tax credit. It's not based on income at all.

It's better than nothing though. Medicaid is a bad deal. The healthcare is really crappy, and then when you die the government seizes all your property.

I'd rather have partial help buying a policy from the exchange than be stuck on Medicaid.

@izzythepush,
Not a bigot, a realist. You can't have a dick and say you are a woman, it flies in the face of reality. You can't have a vagina and tits and call yourself a man, it flies in the face of reality.

There are 2 genders, 3 if you count hermaphrodites, the rest is mental illness. Cutting off parts of your body to fit a mental image of one's self is a mental illness.
