My comments were to Teflon Don, not to you

I downloaded and read these ebooks from the library in the last 12 months

Dhammapada
Dao de Jing
Ace Frehley- No Regrets
Baghavad Gita
Gospel of Luke
Face the Music, Paul Stanley
The Zhuangzi

Probably even more, if I checked my library record

Thought I was replying to TD.

Some people like real books. I'm one of them. Go to a library sometime and you'll see others...younger than 86.

The point I was making is that the public library is not some archaic institution way overdue for extinction. That was obviously the talking point MAGA Teflon Don was aspiring to make.

Why did you get so sensitive and belligerent over a comment I made to a MAGA?

I was making the same point with TD. He annoyed me and I confused you with him.

Who goes to public libraries anymore except drug addicts and perverts? Kids use the internet. Have for years. Probably isn’t anyone under the age of 30 that knows how to use the card catalog

you are stuck in the past. Be progressive

Ebay is a case of real books being not in the past. It's annual book sales are in well up in the millions.

Meaning the last time you checked 97% of the professors in our universities are unwilling to be suckers like you Trumpy assholes.

Okay. I accept that.

No fartface, it means that 97% of university professors are Marxists. Try to keep up.

 

[ULTRA MAGA]

No thank you I have other things to read.

Non mentally ill TDS inspired things

 

[Jarod]

MAGA morons have made perfectly clear for years that they hate higher education.

Education is the enemy of regression and despots.

Nah...I think it means you consider anyone unwilling to be a Trump ass-kissing sucker like you...to be a Marxist.

Hey, you are still free to think and express your thoughts that way.

Who knows, though, your side may win the battle...and that right may go out the window.

Those are all fine, it’s the news division that is Uber biased…87-to-zero ratio in registered Democrats versus Republicans in its headquarters ...

Their politics and news programs are neutral. It is sad that fair news looks slanted to the right. If it ain't pro Trump it cannot be fair, in the mind of rightys. Every news show provided right and left talking heads.

Trump and Melanoma Trump are never going to be stewards of America's cultural heritage. As human beings, they are empty shells.

Trump likes UFC fighting, pornography, and pursuing adult film stars for sex. Trump wouldn't even genuinely like to be at a country music concert. Trump has never willingly and independently chosen to attend a Shakespeare performance or art museum.

Melanoma's interests are nude modeling, soft core porn, and expensive clothes.

They are both stunted and primitive human beings who could never be expected to honor America's cultural heritage.

Trump, according to some Brits. https://groups.google.com/g/usaafricadialogue/c/YcvcyUSt4Jk/m/KR8tSL2gAQAJ?pli=1

In 1865, the poet Walt Whitman asked:


I have always loved these three lines from Whitman’s elegy “When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom’d,” which he wrote in the spring of Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. I have been thinking about them as we mark the 249th year since the ratification of the Declaration of Independence. The lines distill an essential question that any artist and civic figure who believes American ideals are worth sustaining must ask: How shall we honor, remember and learn from our national past? And how shall we transmit essential values of the past to citizens of the future?

I’ve had Whitman in mind this spring as we’ve watched the Trump administration and its Department of Government Efficiency disassemble the cultural infrastructure of the nation. These reckless and shortsighted cuts have affected our libraries and museums, our public media institutions, our local arts and humanities councils and the longstanding endowments — including the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities — that have provided funding for the past 60 years. These institutions are the entities we’ve charged with hanging pictures on the national chamber walls; they were established to represent and to execute on the principle that a great country and a great civilization needs self-understanding, and that such understanding comes not from politicians or congressional allocations but from lasting works of reflection that connect past, present and future.

Walt Whitman was a faggot, so quoting him on this issue is not appropriate.

You mention the "Declaration of Independence" the ideals and political/moral principles were all copied by Thomas Jefferson from the work of John Locke. (Mainly from Locke's : "Second Treatise on Government").

John Locke was an Englishman who was a devout Protestant. He based ALL of his political theory/philosophy. on Biblical scripture.

Walt Whitman was not a Christian. He was a flakey, hairy fairy.

Please tell me which cultural institutions the Trump administration has disassembled: Birthright Citizenship ? DEI ? Multiculturalism ? Neo-Marxist American Identity Politics ? Transgender ideology ? Marxist "Wokesterism" ?

Couple of corrections. Locke was one philosopher who influenced the Founders, Thomas Hobbes another and equal to Locke's influence; there were others, e.g. Cicero; Locke's political philosophy was deeply secular, not based on "Biblical scripture". You know nothing about Whitman.
