Hate speech. Actual
hate speech.
The most egregious examples of the
genre virtually always come out of the mouths of leftists, usually
professors. Ironically, the very people
who coined the phrase, purportedly in response to the supposed intolerance and
bigotry of conservatives, wield it wildly and indiscriminately, like methed-up
Antifa thugs utilize bats at a Trump rally.
The
latest example? According to Campus Reform, Ken Storey, a University of Tampa
professor of sociology, recently tweeted: “I don’t believe in instant karma but
this kinda feels like it for Texas,” referring to the destruction brought on by
hurricane Harvey and the fact that Texans supported President Trump in the 2016
election. He added, “Hopefully this will help them realize the GOP doesn’t care
about them.”
But how
could voting for Republicans cause a terribly destructive hurricane nine and a
half months later? Oh, global warming, I get it. And these are people who
believe “the science is settled?”
Yep, pull the lever for GOP candidates and you shouldn’t be surprised that a
massive hurricane finds you soon thereafter!
Storey
eventually apologized for that tweet, yet, when one person commented on the
professor’s vile post, Storey reportedly “clarified” his statement, saying: “Well,
the good people there need to do more to stop the evil their state pushes. I’m
only blaming those who support the GOP there.”
How
sweet. The same commenter asked the professor if Trump supporters in Florida
deserved a similar fate, to which he replied, “Yep, those who voted for him
here deserve it as well.”
Saying
that you believe marriage should be between one man and one woman will get you
labeled as an out-of-touch, hateful, and
dangerous bigot, but blaming people for bringing natural catastrophes upon
themselves simply by exercising their democratic right to vote for whom they
choose- and essentially gloating in the death, destruction and misery that then
befell them- is just being honest, right?
Perhaps
you’ll recall all the professors and pundits who said that the people of New
Orleans got just what they deserved when they were hit by Katrina, since they
voted for then President Obama. No? Funny, I don’t either. And remember all the
Republican politicians and conservative commentators that said “it feels like
Karma” after Katrina hit the Obama voters? Conservatives don’t gloat over other
people’s catastrophes and misfortune.
And who
can count the number of college professors that have recently stated that those
murdered in Chicago, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., East St. Louis, Detroit, and
many other big cities in America “deserved” to die because they were dumb
enough to vote for the Democrats who run these cities- and that are responsible
for the very policies that created the conditions necessary to spawn the tragic
violence?
Oh,
wait. I can. Zero. None.
