From the first issue of The Liberator (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Liberator_(newspaper):
I am aware that many object to the severity of my language; but is there not cause for severity? I will be as harsh as truth, and as uncompromising as justice. On this subject, I do not wish to think, or to speak, or write, with moderation. No! no! Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen; — but urge me not to use moderation in a cause like the present. I am in earnest — I will not equivocate — I will not excuse — I will not retreat a single inch — AND I WILL BE HEARD.
Well it didn’t take long for someone to claim THEY are Mr. Graves. Just fyi but house fires, wives being raped and babies falling into a fire is easily NOT a government official following a law she swore to uphold.
Oh my, poor Kirstjen Nielsen and Stephen Miller! Someone yelled at them and hurt their feelings. Oooh, poor babies!! But they can go commiserate with Scott Pruitt who doesn’t wanna fly with the hoi polloi because they yell at him. (And just who are the snowflakes?)
Poor Mr. Lester. Such a burden to be a conservative in this time. Why can’t people just accept that putting children in cages when they don’t have to is patriotism and if they object to that they need to use a M Lester approved form of protest? What’s an approved form? Well it couldn’t be dumping tea in a harbor…that would be malicious destruction of property. It can’t be staging a sit in….that would be creating a public nuisance. It couldn’t be marching across a bridge for rights….unless one accepts the police dogs biting onto an arm.
I think “Shut up and do as you’re told!” is the approved response.
Unless the target of the protest is doing something truly heinous….like wearing a tan suit. Or ordering Dijon mustard. You know…horrific acts WAY BEYOND putting kids in cages. Those kinds of actions would merit screaming at someone in public.
The Left.The Blacks.The Jews.The A-rabs.The Queers.The Mexicans.The (place dog-whistle here)
The Left? Are Tяump enablers sure they want to lump Tяump resisters all together? If so, the last time ‘The Left’ outvoted you 70 million to 63 million. And the time before that. And the time before the time before…
In the unlikely event [s/] that Tяumpistas deny that vilifying ‘The Left’ is dog-whistle for fork-all-who-oppose-Tяump, fine and good – a majority of voters never believed any of your lies in the first place, and certainly not now.
mlester101 says, “I respect your opinions. Mine? Not so much.” In the discussion between Liberal and Conservative, both opinions and perspectives are worthy of respect and consideration. In the discussion between knowledge and ignorance, ignorance deserves no voice.
Please tell me what is the difference between a Right wing cake shop refusing service to a Gay customer they thought was immoral and a Left wing Resteraunt owner refusing service to a customer they ( and most of the country) deemed immoral? This was world you asked the Supreme court to grant you.

Slavery was legal at the time The Liberator came out. So Lester would say don’t yell at the slave catchers because they are doing their job.
