They also believe the WAP is a myth.

I’m a republican and I’ve listened to him a few times. He speaks fast but really says nothing of importance.

That’s how his wife feels and not just about the speaking.

I thought this way about him too for the most part. But one thing he said that resonated was when I saw a video wherein a woman once asked him how he can dare to speak out against abortion as a privileged white male. And his response was something like “because I think evil is evil and our responsibility to speak out against evil should not be constrained by our identity politics. I think killing unborn babies is evil even though I’m a white affluent male”

I am pro-choice. So it’s not the anti-abortion argument part that resonates with me.

Instead, it’s that I respect his rationalization on this point because if his belief system is such that he truly believes this is an act of murder, then he is correct that being a white affluent male should not prevent him from saying murder is wrong.

Not sure; I’ll have to ask specifically. Maybe he just has a way of appealing to teen boys. I’m sure they like his wit and sarcasm. He’s obviously very smart. And, he’s a “makes sense” response to the constant bang of liberal drivel that they hear at school.

I overheard DS and one friend seriously discussing why they are pro life for example. I was thrilled.

He’s far more intellectually honest and flat out brighter than the dullards on MSM.

I'm guessing most people base their opinion on some sort belief system. What's there to respect in that? What insight does Shapiro bring? On the matter of abortion, I tend to listen to those that talk about it in a thoughtful way.

It's interesting that he has such faith that our success is due to Judeo-Christian values, when it was the philosophy of John Locke and his Natural Law arguments which guaranteed full legal rights to Jews, which had been denied in many colonies prior.

This was hashed out earlier in the thread. Judeo-Christian values do not refer to religious dogma, but the *values* which parallels the Natural Laws drawn on by John Locke, the foundational principle being that the most important rights of life, liberty, and property are are endowed onto people by "a higher power" and not by the government. This is what allows Loche to formulate the core ideals of the Englightenment, leading to the principle that governments derive their power from the ground up, willed into place by people, and therefore the concept of a constitutional government.

Boy did that go over your head. This is about someone challenging the validity of another person's belief system based on their economic status and race. Imagine if someone's belief system on a topic was deemed invalid because he is a poor black person.

Facts don't care about your feelings

Math is white supremacy? Someone needs to push back on stuff like that bc it's embarrassing and hurts the cause.

DP here. In a world where young men have positive male role models. I know this is an unpopular position for liberals, who likes weak soy boys who kiss the ring of intersectional wokeness, checking their privileges in a never-ending ritual of self flagellation. But for the rest of us, we like male role models exhibiting positive charateristics of courage, strength, and wisdom. Before you go there, Trump is not a good male role model.
