… I do my best to be consistent. Where I think “Pride Month” is utterly ridiculous, this is more ridiculous.

I have to ask, if you’re gonna support this and roads are for safety and not artwork … do you also support the removal of the Paw Prints on the roadways leading into Clemson?

Thank goodness, the outrage from liberals if crosswalks were covered in Christian symbols would be of epic proportions. Great job Duffy!


I think the MAGA Nazi party wakes up every day and says “what’s a good thing that people either like or are at least not bothered by that we can destroy today?” That truly seems to be the governing spirit of this administration. No leadership, just angry vengeance and spite. We are being led by the devil incarnate

Hold on. You think Christians, like 70% of the country, think having rainbow crosswalks is a good thing? They don’t. Only weirdo leftists think that. Leftists that feel the need to impose their misguided virtue onto the people who have no desire to be involved in wokism. I hope they start putting bible verses and resurrection scenes all over public buildings and intersections so I can watch you cry.

Separation of church and state you imbecile. Making any governing decision with theology in mind goes against how the founding fathers intended for this country to be run.

Also, everyone loves the rainbow crosswalks in midtown Atlanta. It’s a landmark. It harms nobody and the general public loves it. It’s the perpetually angry evangelical scumbag MAGA filth that get angry at positive messages of love and welcoming. You know, the teachings of Christ?

My guess is they’d prefer that over what you want. I doubt they wanted the country littered with crosswalks for sodomites who’s claim to fame is how many objects they can fit in their unlubed rectum. But carry on you sniveling *****.

There it is folks. The liberal white man claiming to be oppressed. This liberal, gay man who can spout off his hatred is oppressed. Poor little Johnny Hugh. They wont let him paint rainbows all over public places. Awwwww.

Mommy will let you paint rainbows at home Johnny. It’s ok.

This is just the next step in the erasure agenda of this foul, authoritarian administration. Everyone and everything that doesn't look like white maga must be expunged. There can be no diversity, only a monochrome sea of white faces and red hats. What a pathetic priority in the year 2025.

Would you be ok with painting the streets to resemble a confederate flag? Is that ok?

That left with vaccine mandates on private citizens to keep their jobs. If they can force vaccinations why can’t they tell you what goes on the street? We were warning you all along that you were overstepping. Now you pay.
1) I never supported federal vaccine mandates in private employers

2) can you name one single person who worked for a private company that lost their job as a result of a government enforced vaccine mandate?

3) None of this changes the fact that the party of “small government” has become increasingly authoritarian.

1. The entire party you’re a part of did.
2. Idk. I work for a large corporation and can show you the emails we received threatening our jobs for not getting the vaccine. Despite me being a remote employee, because my company has more than 100 employees it was mandated with failure to comply resulting in termination with cause. 100% fact.
3. That’s a bizarre statement coming from the party wanting to censor free speech on the internet, charge people with hate speech and various other infringements on our rights.

You are supporting removing things that are universally loved by the local demographics and promote positivity and love. You are an embodiment of hate and intolerance. Your judgement day will come

The confederacy was actual treason, so there is significantly more reason for our government to limit it, not celebrate it.
Sure. Not really my point. That flag isn’t illegal nor is the symbolism it represents. It also represents a group of people just like a pride flag does. It’s no different. They don’t belong on public streets. It’s just bizarre. The argument is it makes people feel good from some here and that’s great but not relevant. Not everyone is on board with full blown homosexual behavior in their face and thats ok. Why does everyone have to be subject to one groups incessant desire to make themselves the center of everything. When in fact no one gives a crap. Stop it. These are the same people tearing down monuments of our forefathers and vandalizing Tesla’s.

So, no, you can’t name one single person who lost their job in the private sector as a result of a government mandate.

You got any links for Democrats saying they want to charge people with a crime for speech or “censor” free speech online?

I am saying there isn’t really an argument for the federal government to get involved with limiting a municipality from painting a rainbow crosswalk, but a flag representing a traitorous government would have an argument. And as much as I see tweets posted here with the word treason (mostly for things that aren’t treason, just different opinions; sometimes would be actual treason but are never proven things), it made me chuckle.

Is that be point? Millions of people like me were forced to take a series of vaccines that we neither wanted or needed. We were threatened with our very livelihood and ability to work and provide for our families. At the time how were we supposed to know that mandates wouldn’t be enforced? This way of thinking is why I despise liberals.

You’ve never read or heard about the twitter files? Chock full of censorship requests from Biden and co.

Is what the point? That what you’re claiming happened never actually happened? Your employer chose to enforce a vaccine mandate, you chose to take the vaccine. Plenty of employers delayed enforcing any vaccine requirements while the mandate was adjudicated. You should have just quit and found another job if you didn’t like it - isn’t that what conservatives are always telling employees who want better worker protections or higher pay? Stop being a victim and take responsibility for your own decisions.

And again, no evidence for any Democrat pursuing any criminal proceedings for any kind of speech. Just you making things up with no evidence at all.

Comparing vaccine mandates to Burger King employees wanting $25/hr is an interesting take.

Its the same thing, if you don’t like what your employer is demanding of you, find a different employer. They choose to work at burger king, you chose to take the vaccine. Stop blaming everyone else for your decisions.

I have to ask, if you’re gonna support this and roads are for safety and not artwork … do you also support the removal of the Paw Prints on the roadways leading into Clemson?

Your questions is loaded with logical fallacies. But I digress...

The key distinction is intent and impact.

Clemson paw prints are non-political, locally unifying, and culturally symbolic. They represent a school, a community, and a team... similar to how cities use logos, banners, or mascots to build civic pride. They don’t push an ideology or political message. They don’t cause division. And most importantly, they are not used to signal moral, social, or political positions.

By contrast, rainbow crosswalks are directly tied to an ongoing sociopolitical movement, often used to make a public statement about identity, activism, and values. That inherently politicizes public infrastructure... something roads were not designed for.

If roads are about safety, clarity, and neutrality, then decorations that promote team spirit or local pride without pushing a political agenda are well within bounds.

Paw prints aren’t about changing minds. Political symbols are.

Calling folks you disagree with a “Nazi” or “the devil incarnate” doesn’t make you righteous... it makes you ridiculous.

This is the laziest form of political commentary. No substance, no policy critique, no understanding... just emotionally charged buzzwords meant to divide, not debate. The irony? The people screaming about “fascism” are the first ones to call for censorship, state control of speech, and forced ideological compliance.

You claim the “MAGA Nazi party” is destroying everything good... but you can’t list a single coherent example that doesn’t fall apart under scrutiny.

The truth is, when your side is out of ideas, you resort to labels. You don’t engage with the argument, because you don’t have one. You just default to name-calling, because that’s easier than thinking.

It’s not righteous. It’s not resistance. It’s just lazy tribalism wrapped in fake moral superiority.

“Separation of church and state” doesn’t mean what you think it means.

As for the rainbow crosswalks: your logic falls apart when you say “everyone loves them” and then, in the same breath, rage at the millions of Americans who clearly don’t. You can’t say it’s universally loved and also rail against half the country for not loving it.

Also, calling people “MAGA filth” and “evangelical scumbags” while preaching “love and welcoming” is next-level hypocrisy. If rainbow crosswalks represent love, your response is doing a terrible job of reflecting it.

If you want meaningful conversation, start by learning what the Constitution actually says and stop using “love” as a weapon to shame anyone who doesn’t see the world through your narrow lens

Can you imagine how disconnected from reality you have to be to make a statement like, “EVERYONE loves rainbow crosswalks in Atlanta”? How could you even think that sentence makes sense in the background of the election less than 8 months ago. No, everyone does not like them. And roads are for traffic and transportation, not political ideology. Why not paint MAGA everywhere, apparently EVERYONE loves that too, more people love MAGA than rainbow crosswalks I promise.

“The party of oppression, hate, and violent crime”? You might want to look in the mirror.

Oppression today comes almost entirely from the left... through cancel culture, censorship, thought policing, and mob intimidation. Disagree, and you’re silenced. Question the narrative, and you’re labeled a bigot. That’s not tolerance. That’s authoritarianism with a smiley-face sticker.

As for violent crime? The numbers don’t lie. The highest crime rates are in left-run cities. The looting, rioting, and destruction we’ve seen over the last few years weren’t carried out by conservatives. They were led by progressive activists and “protesters” funded and protected by the same side now pretending to stand for peace.

And let’s not pretend this is about morality. This is coming from the same ideology that fights for the right to murder children and permanently mutilate healthy minors in the name of “identity.” You don’t stand on moral high ground... you stand on a foundation of moral relativism, feelings over facts, and empty virtue signaling.

You don’t get to lecture anyone on hate or violence while defending the very ideologies that perpetuate both.
