[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, you voted for this type of leadership, OP.

We warned you.

By the way, info/clips of Michelle O and Kamala are circulating. They LOVED Dr. Seuss! Lol![/quote]

I love Dr Seuss too. You now he wrote some 60 books right? I don't need to read the old ones with racist imagery. There are plenty of others to read my kids. And so much other literature out there I don't need to be reading only Dr Seuss books.

Why are people so fixated on a few books out of the millions that are out there? Oh I know, because the whole stupid culture war thing is the only topic the right has going for it.

Someone on another thread was arguing about the Nazi rune used as the design of the CPAC stage, saying it was obscure because probably only 1/1000 Americans even knew what it was, so therefore it didn't matter.

Well, I bet fewer than 1/1000 Americans have ever read all 6 of the books the publisher is no longer publishing, or even heard of them. So why are cons so verklempt over obscure books?

You know, I bet most people never noticed all those General Lee statues until the left demanded they be torn down.  Why so verklempt over a stupid old statue nobody looks at?

Personally, I don't care either way, but let's stop pretending that there aren't two sides in the culture wars, each with their own concerns  [/quote]

So I noticed. As did my kids. And I protested to make the change because it matters to me. If someone is truly upset about Dr. Seuss’ estate stopping publication on a couple of books, they can 1. Organize a media campaign targeting the estate to bring back these books, 2.  Buy the rights to the books and publish them on their own, or 3.  Organize some reading event of these books by buying up old copies and distributing.

Both my actions with the General Lee statues and the hypothetical actions of the person angry at the Seuss estate are fine and part of free speech. [/quote]
