I Don’t Have a Title for This

 

I struggled with finding a title for this post. Should it be “Why Do People Insist on Making Stuff Up?” or “You Need An Enemy So Badly That We Have To See What Isn’t There?” or “Persistent ‘Projection’ Is A Mental Illness.” None of them seem to capture this.

George Lopez is a talented (or maybe was a talented) comedian. I used to enjoy him some decades back with his family sitcom. I haven’t attended or watched his standup. It wouldn’t be surprising if it was a little rougher. But that’s okay. It’s the politics that gets to me. He wants, literally wants, to abuse the people who made him. He wrongly thinks it’s the Hollywood types who made him. They didn’t. They would not have touched him if the average American didn’t want his comedy. That’s a truth that so many in Hollywood miss.

Maybe they don’t care. They are sitting on enough bank that if the stream dries up, they’ve still got the lake. But that lake is really starting to smell and the fish are dying.

It’s one thing to push for labor unions, shorter work hours, better pay — all the things that seemed to be the focus of politics in the country. It is another saying you are my enemy if you are an enemy of drag.

This statement is so wrong in so many ways. First, the issue isn’t suppressing drag shows for adults. If men want to dress up as women and perform raunchy humor for other adult men and women in a bar where children are not allowed, fine. Not my thing, but you can knock yourself out. The issue is sexualizing children. I hope George is against child rape and child pornography. If he is, he should understand. They should all understand. That they don’t is extremely frightening.

Second, the people who want children to be “entertained” by drag shows want children to be gender confused. For a few children, maybe, they won’t become confused because they already are, but for most children it will create new confusion. Why would you want to create new confusion?! Why take something simple in childhood and make it complicated, confusing, and a source of unhappiness?

Third, confused children are being given a “solution” — puberty blockers (while they sort out their “confusion”) and “body modification.” Of course “body modification” makes sure that you never function with your original biology and may have long-term adverse health effects.

So, George, I am your enemy if you don’t want me to be against children being chopped up, confused, and unhappy. Well, OK then.

    You and me both.  Or perhaps I should say “Your terms are acceptable.”

    My title would have been “scumbag who took a kidney from ex cheated on her then left says you’re bad for not being down with drag shows for kids”

    Woah! I missed that story. Not a good look (and that’s stating it mildly).

    The fact that desperate, impoverished, and washed-up old ‘celebrities’ like George Lopez are trying to get back in the swing by assuming woked-up identities and trying to appeal to the current generation should tell us everything we need to know.

    George Lopez wasn’t good when times were good.  And he’s not improved since.

    Stop calling it drag and start calling it womanface.

    He’s giving the ol’ career a booster shot. It’s cheaper than hiring two body builders to play-fight with him on his way home from a late-night fast food run.

    Normalcy is now perverse and abnormal.

    If you and I  do not buy into the latest Left wing fad, you and I are guilty of being  abnormal perverse humans.

    Why should  I be stating this?

    Because I noticed this past week that some lefty twit-brained human is inserted on my twitter feed.

    If I remember correctly, she is a teacher.

    Her big opinion of the week is that if in classrooms of children or young teens. these students are  not being encouraged to take puberty blockers and consider becoming the opposite gender from the one they are now, then the teachers of those students are guilty of perversely encouraging the unnecessary development of puberty.

    I had to read through her statements several times to ensure I was understanding her correctly. But that is what the teachers in our schools and the Leftists sitting on school boards are now thinking – that normalcy is abnormal

    F’k him.  I did not like him in the first place.  

    This country has a serious problem.  If you do not love and support every little fetish they think you are some sort of hater that needs to be removed / destroyed / cancelled / fired / …..   We used to believe live and let live but now the others want to force their point of weirdness on the rest of us.

    He wants to renew his so-called celebrity on the backs of children? If he is, he’s evil.

    Some people make themselves a lot of enemies.  Lopez just got in that category.

    I think he had a forgettable tv show back in the 90’s that was almost funny, but always tainted with some formulaic  “high minded” liberal message that made the show cringy.  I want to say Wanda Sykes was on that show, but maybe not.  He and Sykes are cut from the same unfunny cloth, their careers are pretty much identical, for instance they both do a lot of voice work for cartoons.
