to the tops of your little heads. He can even breast feed you. Both. At the same time. 
Lion in Winter - you asked me about free speech. Free speech at all costs! And "hate speech"... who gets to define what is hate speech?
I think I'd struggle to fit into the UK now, if ever I were so inclined to move back. With my libertarian world-view so ingrained, I think I'd have a conniption fit.
Idiocy like the persecution of Mark Meechan and the "Nazification" of his girflriend's pug.
Or 35-year old Kevin Crehan - jailed for a year for leaving bacon sandwiches on the steps of a mosque. He committed suicide half-way through his sentence. Alledgedly bullying from Muslim inmates that drove him to it.
Contrast with the case of Suleman Maknojioa, 40, an imam convicted of sexually molesting an 11-year old girl. He got a suspended sentence.
Is this where we are headed? Is it, Leslie? Is it?
Is it, Lion in Winter? Is this what you want?
First they came for Blazing Saddles. But I didn't care for Mel Brooks, so I said nothing...

He kind of lost me last night. It's very, well, bizarre.... Fascinating to watch.

An interesting outcome of this Trump shit show ... I now respect, and feel a common cause, with many conservatives that used to drive me bat-shit crazy. The enemy of my enemy, etc.

Good grief. Those haircuts. How on earth could they have thought that looked good?
Leslie, you are the sunshine angel of these boards. We all love you. Dearly.

Tew
Where did all that come from
All I said was that I wasn't going to lose any sleep over over a nazi being punched in the face by another member of the public, and that it blows my mind that armed nazis are marching in the streets of US towns. I likewise said they should not be prevented by the state from marching or spouting their garbage.
Your post is a straw man constructed from your fevered imagination. I'll take the bacon sandwich though.

Why ESPN and Robert Lee are right (opinion) - CNN
(CNN)In the testosterone-laced world of sports, sometimes your name means everything. Think not? I've seen men beaten by mobs just for having the gall to scream out "let's go Cowboys" at an Eagles game. Think of all the racial epithets we've heard, of how one football player, Colin Kaepernick, silently taking a knee during the national anthem in personal protest of injustice in America has divided the nation.
Looks like CNN are doubling down.

"Odd" that you missed this at the head of that article. Oh wait, it's Boiler:
"Roxanne Jones, a founding editor of ESPN Magazine and former vice president at ESPN, has worked as a producer, reporter and editor at the New York Daily News and The Philadelphia Inquirer. Jones is co-author of "Say it Loud: An Illustrated History of the Black Athlete." She talks politics, sports and culture weekly on Philadelphia's 900AM-WURD. The views expressed here are solely hers."
