I'm sorry, Gulchers

I kinda want to apologize to everyone in The Gulch for something I did. This place has been such a welcome addition to my life; there’s an incredible amount of comfort knowing I’m not the only one who sees the world the way I do. I almost feel like I betrayed the spirit present here for a brief time.

I read this article on Fox News: “ 'The View' dismisses more young men turning to religion as part of 'manosphere'”. (I got a vasectomy 35 years ago, and I think the collective IQ of everyone on The View is lower than my sperm count.)

The short version is that these numbskulls think that the only reason young men would want to turn (or re-turn) to conservatism and religion is to go back to a society where men rule and women obey. Yes, you read that right. That’s the only reason that these airheads can think of for men to turn conservative and religious.

My initial thought was that this group of douchebags on The View should be taken off the air immediately and permanently banned from EVER coming in contact again with a microphone.

Then I realized that I was just as bad as the Libtards: Censor and remove speech you don’t like.

Free speech is completely self-explanatory; it doesn’t mean “as long as it agrees with my perspective”. One has to respect ALL speech, not just SOME speech in order for free speech to exist.

And I’m ashamed to admit that I lost sight of that this morning. I’m okay now, but it’s a bit humbling to know just how easy it is to try and shut down the other side.

    The View is disgusting, really. My mom watches it.

      The real problem with The View is that they only talk about one subject. And The View is similar to the Iranian school system, teaching the kids to hate the Jews and hate Americans.

      The good part about The View is that we know what they are thinging and what they beleive. If we didn't know we couldn't fight it.

      I am so sorry for your mom. Of course she has every right to watch The View, but the garbage that is going into her mind is just too bad. I watch The Five. I can’t stand Jessica and her half truths. Then one day it dawned on me that I didn’t have to watch this idiot. So on the days that she is on I turn over to the Fox business channel and watch its news report. I am pleased to day that it has been a most liberating experience.

    No apology necessary, rainman0720. A real thinker can take only so many doses of idiocy before screaming, "STOP! STOP!". Recall Dagny screaming over Ellis Wyatt's burning oil fields when understanding what made him do it in the first place.

    Young men shifting away from the idiocy towards a more conservative life is the quiet scream. Fools, like those on "the View", can only attempt at mocking and sneering because they have no understanding.

    There are things happening nowadays that can turn a man to - . .

    One of those is The View, and the mind set behind it.
    If this is progressivism, I'll take religion.

    It may be the people, I tried not to look at the pics.

    No need to say you're sorry. It's The view that's sorry. That's me a dino joke for today. "Peeyew" rhymes with View, by the way.
    Watch Gutfeld. Before I spent some time hospitalized recently, he was taking a joking shot at The View within the first 15 minutes of each show.
    Reckon he is still at it.

    Dude, it's understandable. Free Speech is on thing, repeatedly spewing toxic meaningless, error ridden, emotionally stunting, information poor, vile, empty drivel and propaganda, is probably beyond what the founders had in mind.

    Excellent introspection. Nobody is perfect.
    But saying things out loud, in public... Normally has a very good feedback system. One where we can ALL LEARN.

    What makes you Gulcher? Not that your views and our views are in perfect alignment...

    It's that you realized you might WANT to publish this.

    That's good enough for me.
    I will send you DM when I become perfect! lol

    Finally, Women have become insane... Because Society is encouraging and painting it as feminism.

    there is NOTHING Feminine about Boss Babes and Demanding B-tches, or Wives who ridicule their spouse/partners. And the number of women who leave good men, to take 1/2 and enslave them with alimony... "because they are not HAPPY" is utterly insane.

    Lifes Hard. Wear a helmet!

    I always like to get a glimpse into what "the other side" is thinking, but that doesn't mean I can stomach watching full episodes of The View or late night network "comedy" shows, etc. I can only stomach their nonsense in short clips at a time.

    For that reason, I am in favor of these ridiculous shows continuing to air.

    Let the market decide if any of them continue to air, as it did with the Colbert show being canned for costing its network multiple millions of dollars in losses year after year.

    Not a huge loss. There are still plenty of other deranged shows, podcasts, and X accounts for me to get my fix of snippets of wrong thinking.

    "Free Speech", on network television, is good only as long as the ratings reflect it.

    Remember that television networks are "private" businesses, have NO requirement to respect the free speech protected in our Constitution AND can cancel it at any time (goodbye Colbert).

    Caveat: If my assumptions are wrong, feel free to correct me.

      Taking The View off the airwaves wasn't really the point; shutting them up and shutting them down--regardless of where they were yapping--was the point. I didn't want to take them off of ABC; I wanted to prevent them from ever having a forum again. It was shutting them up that mattered, not taking them off TV.

    Hey, from my perspective, no apology needed. Why? Because I often find myself thinking the same, EXACT thing. Fortunately, so far I haven't given in to the temptation to post such online, but that doesn't make me a saint.

    One thing that helps me is to remember that we need plenty of these disgusting examples to point to when people ask why we think as we do. If they were gone.....?? Then who would we point to? Kind of like hoping they nominate Hunter, or Kamala, or Rosa of the purple hair and hate for president in 2028. That would make it so easy.... so they probably won't do that, but these are all examples of people I'd love to see never again.

    Your post is a good reminder though. Go and "sin" no more, hahahaha!
