Prognazis boycott Home Depot stores because the founder supports Trump.

Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus responded to boycotts of his stores in a Facebook post Thursday, saying "it angers" him to be treated so viciously simply for expressing support for the president.



"I woke up this morning thinking it was going to be another great day," he wrote. "I've been celebrating with friends, family and the community since I turned 90 ... All that happiness blew up because I said in a newspaper interview that I have supported and will continue to support Donald Trump."

"Boom!" he continued. "Negative stories... vicious threats, without cause, to boycott the company that has enabled my foundation to give billions to support autism, medical research, education, heart and neurological issues like stroke, and to help our veterans. ... The people who work there are affiliated with both political parties or no party at all ... Why would people want to hurt them?"





Liberals and anti-Trumpers began harassing Marcus and boycotting Home Depot after he told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution he supports Trump, and the paper reported he was a top donor to the Trump campaign. The focus of the story was on his philanthropy — the billionaire plans to give 80 to 90 percent of his wealth to charity after he dies.





He concluded the post by saying it "saddens" and "angers" him that he and employees of Home Depot would be treated this way simply because he expressed his feelings about the president, but that it won't stop him from doing more for the world in the remainder of his life than all of his critics combined.



"It saddens me that our country has come to this, where I, as a private citizen, cannot express my feelings," he wrote. "It angers me and it saddens me, but it sure as hell is not going to stop me. If you thought it would, you've got the wrong guy. In the next ten years, God willing, I will accomplish more to save this world than my critics will do even if they had forty lifetimes."

My husband will continue to spend money at Home Depot.

Media Matters published a list Tuesday detailing what it called "extremist figures" who have been invited to the White House social media summit.

Some of the figures on the list hit back at Media Matters, calling the publication a "joke."

The article included PragerU and Sen. Marsha Blackburn on its list.

Media Matters published a list Tuesday detailing right-wing "extremist figures" who are invited to the White House social media summit Thursday, and some of them are hitting back.



The list, written by Alex Kaplan, includes PragerU, the Heritage Foundation, journalist Tim Pool, Human Events publisher Will Chamberlain, Turning Point USA founder and president Charlie Kirk, TPUSA chief creative officer Benny Johnson, and writer Brent Bozell, among others.





Politicians like Republican Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn and Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz are featured on the list as well.



"If Media Matters labels me an 'extremist' for making funny conservative memes — I wonder what term they would use to describe Antifa members, who on the last day of Pride Month targeted and beat a gay, minority journalist in the streets to the point of his brain hemorrhaging," Johnson told the Daily Caller News Foundation.



"His name is Andy Ngo. A quick search of the Media Matters website shows zero results calling Antifa members 'extremists' for this violent, hate-crime behavior. Yet my memes are the problem. What a hypocritical, broken, sad, sunken little place Media Matters is."





Kirk also responded to being labeled an extremist, calling Media Matters a "joke."



"We used to reserve words like extremist to describe people who took down the World Trade Center, or who wear masks and then vandalize universities and assault reporters," Kirk told the DCNF. "Media Matters cheapens that word and proves what a joke it is by using it to describe mainstream organizations like TPUSA, Heritage and PragerU."

MM would label me an extremist.

In Israel, they would not even be considered conservatives.

America's free speech crisis





The First Amendment to the American Constitution was proposed by the 1788 Virginia ratification convention during its narrow 89 to 79 vote to ratify the Constitution.



Virginia's resolution held that the free exercise of religion, right to assembly and free speech could not be cancelled, abridged or restrained. These Madisonian principles were eventually ratified by the states on March 1, 1792. Gettysburg College professor Allen C. Guelzo, in his article "Free Speech and Its Present Crisis," appearing in the autumn 2018 edition of City Journal, explores the trials and tribulations associated with the First Amendment.



The early attempts to suppress free speech were signed into law by President John Adams and became known as the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798.



Later attempts to suppress free speech came during the Civil War, when President Abraham Lincoln and his generals attacked newspapers and suspended habeas corpus.



It wasn't until 1919, in the case of Abrams vs. United States, when the U.S. Supreme Court finally and unambiguously prohibited any kind of censorship.



Today, there is growing contempt for free speech, most of which are found on the nation's college and university campuses.



Guelzo cites the free speech vision of Princeton University professor Carolyn Rouse, who is chairperson of the department of Anthropology.



Rouse shared her vision on speech during last year's Constitution Day lecture. She called free speech a political illusion, a baseless ruse to enable people to "say whatever they want, in any context, with no social, economic, legal or political repercussions."



As an example, she says that a climate change skeptic has no right to make "claims about climate change, as if all the science discovered over the last X-number of centuries were irrelevant."



Rouse is by no means unique in her contempt for our First Amendment rights. Faculty leaders of the University of California consider certain statements racist microagressions: "America is a melting pot"; "America is the land of opportunity"; "Everyone can succeed in this society, if they work hard enough"; and "There is only one race, the human race." The latter statement is seen as denying the individual as a racial/cultural being.



Then there's "I believe the most qualified person should get the job." That's "racist" speech because it gives the impression that "people of color are given extra unfair benefits because of their race."



Other seemingly innocuous statements deemed unacceptable are: "When I look at you, I don't see colour," or "Affirmative action is racist." Perhaps worst of all is, "Where are you from, or where were you born?"



We should reject any restriction on free speech. We might ask ourselves, "What's the true test of one's commitment to free speech?" It does not come when people permit others to say or publish ideas with which they agree. The true test of one's commitment to free speech comes when others are permitted to say and publish ideas they deem offensive.



The test for one's commitment to freedom of association is similar. Christian Americans have been hounded for their refusal to cater same-sex weddings.



For those who support such attacks, we might ask them whether they would seek prosecution of the owner of a Jewish delicatessen who refused to provide services for a neo-nazi affair. Should a black catering company be forced to cater a Ku Klux Klan affair? Should the NAACP be forced to open its membership to racist skinheads?



Should the Congressional Black Caucus be forced to open its membership to white members of Congress?



The true test of a person's commitment to freedom of association does not come when he permits people to associate in ways he finds acceptable. It comes when he permits people to voluntarily associate in ways he deems offensive. I am afraid that too many of my fellow Americans are hostile to the principles of liberty. Most people want liberty for themselves. I differ. I want liberty for me and liberty for my fellow man.

[Bricktop]

Freedom of speech is anathema to socialism, which is fundamentally a complete fabrication of flawed ideology based on lies that freedom of speech challenges.

Should the Congressional Black Caucus be forced to open its membership to white members of Congress?

They probably would if whites were required to apologize for being white first.

An East Indian Trump supporter gets the shit beaten out of him by progtard mob for wearing MAGA hat.

NYC Man Says Teenagers Beat Him For Wearing A MAGA Hat



A local man New York City man said that he was beaten by a group of teenagers in Manhattan for wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat.



Jahangir "John" Turan, an art gallery owner, purchased a MAGA hat Tuesday after visiting Trump Tower, Fox 5 reported. He told reporters Thursday that he was attacked by a group of about 15 "kids" on Canal Street and had his head smashed into a scaffold.



The kids yelled "Fuck Trump" and began to stomp on him before smashing his head, he said. Turan fractured his cheek and has a swollen eye, and he is checking to see if there may be permanent damage to his eyesight.



There have been past reports of people being harassed and beaten up for wearing a MAGA hat. A Hispanic women said she was nearly assaulted by someone who took offense to the hat in April, and a legal American citizen from Togo alleged that he was attacked in April as well for sporting the gear.
