Actually, racism isn't on Droopy's list of sins closely-knit with liberalism such as sympathizing with Deep Ecology or supporting certain obscure matters of taxation (I almost said "tax law" but corrected anticipating the retort that taxation is illegal), the sins that without a doubt will keep one from being in good standing with Mormonism.

Who knows, maybe Droopy would like Scratch better if he dropped the "n-word" now and again. After all, Droopy is in print with Meridian vocally speaking against the term "African American".

LM 11/23/2018: one can explain away the soul of human beings...as...a Meat Unit, to use Professor Peterson's clever derogatory description of gemli's ideology.

This kind of thing is precisely why "liberals" and Democrats are so easy to dislike, and so easy to disregard as serious liabilities to a free, civil, morally coherent society.

"African American" is an ideological term that has no meaning when describing the vast majority of Black Americans. Its a term that implies the ideological assumptions of Black separatism, and denotes of connotes nothing in any normative sense.

Your witless vilification of everything you cannot make conform to the central organizing principle of value relativism that lies at the center of your self referential, self absorbed world view is as pathetic as it is breathtaking.

I'll take that as a joke. I don't particularly like people who easily demote others from the ranks of humanity in seriousness.



Yes it was, but I don't expect most liberals to take it as such, humorless lot that they generally are.

I would think they should not be disregarded but watched very closely, if indeed they are serious liabilities to a free, civil, and morally coherent society.

Yes, just like all of that dour communist sculpture. No smiles there. ;-)

Hoisting Scratch on his own petard? That gives me a very blue feeling. Like the Meanies are at it again.

Scratch is NOT a racist! I know this because I've seen him personally outraged at the crap I had to deal with on FAIR with blacks in the church...not to mention the whole subject in general.

Your obvious racist anti-Smurfite feelings are showing through here.

Wouldn't he want to follow the brethren and just use "darkies" like Joseph Fielding Smith?
