    This was very interesting to watch, especially when he says

    "I would call one of the groups the man with the bullhorn. He's always the leader. You just watch in any violent group today that follows the principle of St Just, watch the man with the bullhorn. He's the leader of that revolt." Paging Ray Epps, Ray Epps to the white courtesy bullhorn...

    I disagree. At heart, conservative means what it always has. It means being careful not to abandon what is known to work for some untried system without a track record. It means being cautious of too much change too rapidly because of the knowledge that such changes to complex systems ALWAYS come with unforeseen complications and consequences which can be worse than the problems such changes are claiming to 'solve'. It means not losing touch with systems and mores, honed over centuries to work effectively, to pursue the latest shiny platitudes
    I don't disagree with any of those, though I'd simplify all that to say the literal meaning of conservative is someone who is skeptical of new, or averse or reluctant to change. I think people don't think of the literal meaning when they say "conservative" though. They think of a particular set of political views. I think this is what was meant where Lindsey was said to be a conservative. Lindsey himself has said that he's always been on the left, but feels politically homeless.

    I think his primary association with conservatives, either way you wish to define it, is that he recognizes conservatives are his allies, because they oppose the far left bat **** crazy stuff. He's also an atheist, but I watch a video with him talking to some Dallas Theological seminary guys about how "wokeness" (not his wording at the time because it hadn't entered wide use back then) is infiltrating the churches and why they're doing it.

    But, I'll say this much. I've been following Lindsey's content for a couple of years now. I think he is starting to think more like a conservative in both senses.

    Who knew that messing with kids is where civilized people draw the line... :rolleyes:
    CRT is messing with kids? Sure.

    Think this is the first round of that?

    The very institution of government education is socialist. It is just one we have largely become comfortable with.

    Folks like to think "their school" is fine but that's just an excuse.

    Sending kids to the civil government for 8 hours a day would be a wildly foreign concept to our founding fathers, one which they would largely reject entirely.

    Folks are OK with it...so long as they don't go any farther than they already have in terms of implementing socialism.

    Replace the word "public" with government and it is far more accurate.

    People think they have community driven schools but that is false as well as they take their orders and money from the state.

    It's definitely government run and that didn't used to be as big of a problem years ago. Now it means that schools is just an indoctrination center. Fortunately, people starting getting wind of it and are getting some of the most offensive stuff scaled back, at least in some areas. The bottom line is that people need to be involved enough to know what the school they send their kids to are teaching and intervene when necessary.

    I don't have a problem with public education per se. And it is "public" in every sense of the world. But that also means "government". When it started out it was communities paying a teacher to teach, often in a one-room schoolhouse. It becomes a problem when it's centralized. And as it scales it absolutely has to have oversight. So school boards. But it doesn't help if the people running the school board are like foxes guarding the henhouse. Public schools today, in many but not all districts, have become indoctrination centers as progressive ideologues have done the work to get on school boards and in high places of administration, and faculty.

    To fix what's wrong with public schools it's not enough just to pull yours out and homeschool. Parents need to get involved. Get on school boards. Rain this **** in.

    My issue with the "rage against CRT" is...THIS is where folks draw the line?

    They've been fine with all of the encroaching socialism for 100 years now...but CRT is where they draw the line?

    Yikes.
    Kinda like the boiled frog analogy. Small incremental steps aren't that egregious until people notice that some activist teachers are teaching kids to hate their parents. Kinda hard, if you have any sanity left, to keep agreeing with all the BLM nonsense when you see your kid's teacher on Lib's of Tiktok turning students against their parents.

    Remember the election in VA? When the extent of some of the indoctrination became apparent, the parents revolted against the D machine. Mother's tend to mother.

    FIGHT THE POWER!!!

    Heaven forbid you make product that people actually want to watch, not Marxist B.S.


    One former exec describes Discovery+ as a “more general audience platform that doesn’t have the specificity that HBO Max was tailored to. I think Discovery is just a very ‘all’ audience, [they] don’t wanna make things that are political, topical, alienate Middle America—more Chip and Joanna,”
