Please ask some of these pastors what they think about the teachers getting put on administrative leave for saying things that are not racist but people accuse them of that. I'm sure you can discern the agenda is to get anyone with the values of "Don't work..Don't eat" or, "get a job, get ahead", or "two parent family homes have more wealth" to get fired and replaced with a comrade.

It looks like the children of the korn have been taught Markist theory and want to promote the idea that by race in America, one group should have special privileges and entitlements, like they are expected not to have work but still can expect other taxpayers to give them money. That is very offensive to me but seems to be popular to WEAR and communGenZs.

For example the latest story on WEAR, and the commenters on facebook find what she said was racist automatically but what it really said did not mention race at all.

Do the pastor support socialism and communism for the new America? Change.

The American dream, is anybody can make it if they apply themselves, have we changed it to Amercia, "you owe me"

Will the school superintendent stand firm and honor conservative values for employees or buckle and will the preachers be able to discern the difference in what is going on, and have the spine and courage to discuss it on this coffee with commissioner online? Or are they afraid they will be cancelled and purged?

Religious leaders must believe in freedom of religion and most likely free speech and conservative values. Do they want America to become a socialist country this election?

The teacher writes, “What is privilege? Privilege is wearing $200 sneakers when you’ve never had a job.”

The post also reads, “Privilege is having as many children as you want regardless of your employment status and be able to send them off to daycare or school you don’t pay for.”


There has to be a balance between low expectations and holding Americans, all of them, accountable and responsible. It is a very immature attitude that is stalking the internet and causing problems. Some don't seem to have the values of "sink or swim" "Life is what you make it" instilled.

Perhaps when or if the legal system gets involved and lawsuits over freedom of speech and torts about employment come into play these tattle tales will learn a lesson. If the school board doesn't back their employees that will be known. I think it is widespread and planned as an assault on capitalist, can do, and conservative values.

"Whether you think you can or can't --you're right" Ford

USA is weakened by low expectations and condoning criminality and laziness from Anybody. No excuses . Period. Raise the Bar not lower it.

I know the preachers may have compassion and missing the crowd passing the plate.. But it will be interesting to see if they can even address the elephant in the room about what is going on in American society recently.

The poor will always be among us, let's not incentivize and subsidize it.

If one expects all people to pull their own weight in society, that has become one of the current definitions being applied as racism. Its been redefined to push the false narrative. Apparently its fairly widespread. It reminds me of a lazy brat pissy attitude from anybody. I can't stand it.

Please ask them what they think about the new call for smashing images of Jesus and stained glass windows.

What do they think about the country and atheists. Do they think the BLM donating to Bernie Samders Socialist campaign is a good organization to back?

Do they know the CPUSA (Communist Party USA) party is deep in the democrat party? and their take on religion? The CPC is in congress. Congressional Progressive caucaus

What do they think about the black church registering democrats and are they willing to register republicans?

Appreciate the thoughts and prayers. Enjoy the coffee.

We are Equal UNDER THE LAW. Before the Law. In the movie "Lincoln" 2012 Tommy Lee Jones as Thaddeus Stevens speech before Congress is truth.

Lincoln 2012

Just think-- they desecrated the Lincolm memorial and can't understand our outrage and try to blame it on racism..No it's an assault on everything we hold dear. Our republic, our country.

Teams of Rivals, Great Book-- the movie catches only a portion.

"Trump announces forthcoming executive order to 'make the cities guard their monuments'
President Trump said Monday that he will soon issue an executive order meant to protect public statues and monuments from being damaged or destroyed by far-left and anarchist protesters.

"We are going to do an executive order and make the cities guard their monuments," Trump told Eternal Word Television Network's Raymond Arroyo. "This is a disgrace."
