Well, you're at least acknowledging and responding to my points. Thank you.

I also 100% agree about Al Franken. The Dems really shot themselves in the foot with that one. And it was a sort of justice that Kirsten Gillibrand got no support when she ran for President, when before she launched her witch hunt, I actually thought she might have been a good candidate someday.

As for Leftist. Bill Maher uses the term, and so do other Liberals who are speaking out against this woke, reactionary anarchy. Is it a pejorative? I don't know. But I don't think of these woke people as Liberals - they are another standard deviation away from the mean.

Do you have more info on that North Carolina black professor who was denied tenure? I would like to read about it.

As for Aziz Ansari. I feel the same empathy for him that I feel for Amanda Knox. People should not have their lives ruined from false accusations. He was accused of "sexual assault" even though the woman volunteered she pursued him, multiple times, and didn't complain or make a move to reject him until after the consensual activities occurred. The best article I've read on it is here:

As for classical conservatives ignoring due process, evidence, and accused' rights when it comes to blacks and other underrepresented groups...I agree. It has happened, and the unwillingness of many prominent conservatives to even acknowledge the concept that "Black lives matter" is telling to say the least. There are valid reasons why people dedicate their lives to activism. I'm a fan of both MLK Jr. and Malcolm X. Even more of the activists who work towards change and remain anonymous. But what I'm not a fan of is Black Lives Matter organizers paying themselves hundreds of thousands of dollars each year, buying houses in Malibu with donations, then raising a big stink when they are audited by saying an audit is systematic racism. This is every bit as scummy and unethical as anything Conservatives have been accused. I really don't see a difference between Patrice Cullors and the conservative darlings at Enron. Enron might have had more zeroes in their scam, but the intents and methods of each were equal - the Right does not have an advantage over the Left when it comes to examples of corruption or grifting.
