Do you think everyone should be treated the same in the eyes of the law, regardless of race or gender? A simple yes or no, please. Equal rights, equal responsibilities.

Wrong…as usual “Thanks to this insultingly low opinion of the average American, leftists want to silence Rogan not because his views are unquestionably wrong or objectively dangerous but because they want their ideas to reign supreme, and the easiest way to do that is to silence competing claims….They want to control what Rogan can say because they want to control what we think.” https://www.nationalreview.com/2022/01/the-real-reason-they-want-to-cancel-joe-rogan/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is the same publication that advocated for invading all Muslim countries, killing their leaders and converting them all to Christianity. They also happily posted content by Epstein's publicist, until they got caught. If that is what you want to be associated with..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No more, no less So that’s a yes to my question - Should everyone be treated equally in the eyes of the law? This isn’t a trick. It’s a simple question that you don’t seem to be willing to answer because you know that if you say yes then you’re arguing FOR one of the main points of critical race theory.

Cause what I read is that Joe Rogan can tell you what to think. I'll give you my opinion of Rogan. He started talking one day and a couple of people heard what he said, so he started to say it louder and those two begat two more, who begat four, who begat eight until one day he had a Limbaugh type following not because what he said was right, but because it was popular. And then, some dumbass sees this and says, "I'm gonna give Rogan a 150 million dollar contract," not because he's right, but because he's popular, which only validates Rogan to himself and so he gets louder. Hmmm.. maybe he can tell you what to think. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmmm.. maybe he can tell you what to think. Joe Rogan just interviews folks, sometimes with opposing views. If you have some time listen to the Koonin interview, then listen to the Dessler interview and tell me who comes across as more credible? It is the very “loudness” a.k.a popularity that upsets the left. When Dessler was asked why he went on Rogan’s podcast, he responded “He’s very controversial, I understand that. But his audience is too large”. Did you catch that? “Too large” So just who determines what is “right” and what is “too large”? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neil Young and Joni Mitchell, who both suffered with polio, removed their music from Spotify because of Rogan's anti-vaccine statements regarding Covid-19.

His position on covid was so very wrong and perpetuated some really bad information to a "large audience." He is irresponsible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Best selling author Steve Koonin “Now, one of America's most distinguished scientists is clearing away the fog to explain what science really says (and doesn't say) about our changing climate. In Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, and Why It Matters, Steven Koonin draws upon his decades of experience—including as a top science advisor to the Obama administration—to provide up-to-date insights and expert perspective free from political agendas. Fascinating, clear-headed, and full of surprises, this book gives readers the tools to both understand the climate issue and be savvier consumers of science media in general. Koonin takes readers behind the headlines to the more nuanced science itself, showing us where it comes from and guiding us through the implications of the evidence. He dispels popular myths and unveils little-known truths: despite a dramatic rise in greenhouse gas” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
