@@drusillawinters212, what are you, an apologist? Obey you masters advocates for slavery. He could have said slavery is not allowed. Go ahead and twist that with apologist word salad.
The fact that you turned a 12 letter word like DISTRACTIONS into an acronym that is not only applicable, but also a grammatically coherent phrase is a skill in itself. Props to your writing skills. 👏
'Let's ban books that deal with sex and sexuality. Like a book where a father offers his teenage girls to a mob... and they later get him drunk and have sex with him.'
@@daydream324 You're being really unfair. They do read some of it - you know, the carefully selected handful of verses that support their world view while ignoring the context and all the rest of the Bible
Woke When this term became popularized, initially the meaning of this term was when an individual become more aware of the social injustice. Or basically, any current affairs related like biased, discrimination, or double-standards. However, as time passed by, people started using this term recklessly, assigning this term to themselves or someone they know to boost their confidence and reassure them that they have the moral high grounds and are fighting for the better world. And sometimes even using it as a way to protect themselves from other people's opinion, by considering the 'outsider' as non-woke. While people that are in line with their belief as woke. Meaning that those 'outsiders' have been brainwash by the society and couldn't see the truth. Thus, filtering everything that the 'outsider' gives regardless whether it is rationale or not. And as of now, the original meaning is slowly fading and instead, is used more often to term someone as hypocritical and think they are the 'enlightened' despite the fact that they are extremely close-minded and are unable to accept other people's criticism or different perspective. Especially considering the existence of echo chamber(media) that helped them to find other like-minded individuals, thus, further solidifying their 'progressive' opinion. 1st paragraph "Damn bro, I didn't realize racism is such a major issue in our country! I'm a woke now!" 2nd paragraph "I can't believe this. How are they so close-minded? Can't they see just how toxic our society is? The solution is so simple, yet they refused to change! I just don't understand!" 3rd paragraph "Fatphobic?! Misogyny?! What's wrong with preferring a thin woman?! And she is morbidly obese for god sake! Why should I be attracted to her?! Why should I lower myself while she refuse to better herself?! These woke people are a bunch of ridiculous hypocrite!"
May I provide my amateur definition of “Woke”? Thank you… Woke means Truth, not fiction. Woke means Facts, not feelings. Woke means Science, not religion. Woke means respect for all people, no judgment. I’m very proud to be woke and to be the man that that implies.
@@spir5102 Yes, in that context it is, because "woke" is being used as a verb, as it should be, but it's being used as an adjective when saying someone or something is "woke."
A new video from America’s Best Christian always brightens my day. Betty’s astute, hilarious and spot on commentary never fails go amuse. I ❤️this channel. Glory
THIS JUST IN: parents protest desantis move to ban nickels, quarters, and dollar bills from florida schools due to drag depictions on the cash. parents are furious that this would raise the price of soda and junk food in vending machines.
@Nonya Bizness It's not going to surprise me if or when it's implemented. When I was in high school, putting in a snack and pop vending machine was a hot topic back in the late 80's early 90's. When you had to pay cash.
You truly are the best! Your videos should be required viewing for all Americans even though the truth would be too difficult for republicans and religious lunatics to grasp.
Oh, I watched this condescending ditz's video all the way to the end. Mrs. Betty Bowers says Democrats "bore voters with bills, policies and solutions". OK - so what is the Democrat solution on border security??? I can tell you what it was under Trump; you may disagree, but at least he had a policy. What is the Democrat solution??? (Answer: open borders.) And what is the Democrat solution on energy policy??? I can tell you what it was under Trump; working toward energy independence. What is it now? (Hint: high gas prices - Joe Biden said publicly they are just part of the "incredible transition" to clean energy. And what is the Democrat solution to inflation? It is lower in 10-11 G20 countries! Why? If you can't answer these questions (which I doubt Mrs. Betty Bowers can) then maybe you should just STFU.
A lot more people on the right are aware about it than you might think. What they want is a white-nationalist Christofascist state, and they’ll try to get it any way they can. Integrity, truth and facts are meaningless to them.
Both are part of the same system. They are diametrically opposed, where do you go from there, where we are today. Party plan, no plan for the country. Separate…Divide…Conquer Trigger words: Race… Religion… Border… Sexual Orientation… Most Demonic Left or Right… Etc…All uttered to illicit an emotional response to further divide and separate.
You are exactly correct. They have a limited number of strategies, but they have been refined and calibrated over decades. None of their strategies are any more complicated than "throw everything at the wall and see what sticks", but in spite of that, they seem to be effective. Maybe that's because any strategy is better than no strategy, which is what our side seems to do.
Ouch! This one is so dead center, on the nose accurate that I have no words to convey my appreciation and admiration of Andrew's writing. And Betty, as always, is the world's best Christian.
Anyone who compares Jesus to a drag queen is not a Christian. She is an anti-Christian bigot. Can you imagine what the Left would say if someone compared Mohammed to a drag queen??? Their tiny heads would implode!!!

Gee, couldn't have foreseen any problems with that approach! Waiting for an answer...
Thank you for pointing out the attacks on trans people. I know it's no secret that it's happening but hearing allies always make me smile and gives me hope. ❤🏳⚧
This is spot on. During the midterms, all we heard about how many problems we have with high gas prices and inflation, but they don't talk about that now they talk about everything else.
Yeah their solution is drill, baby, drill. Dig the hole deeper and denial of climate science, environmental regulations, ecosystem spoilage, future economic vitality, and anything else that might upset their "corporate" donors, the citizen's united supreme court ruling and legalized graft. Glory.
High gas prices and inflation are a direct result of trans people and men in frocks* reading fairy tales to children; you people just won’t accept the facts! * not to be confused with Priests in “Vestments” reading parables to children, yet Solomon,in all his glory, was not arrayed like one of these.
Culture wars waged by the right is more profitable to their coffers than actually trying to solve the problems. Meanwhile, they’ll take credit for the funding their states receive even after voting against it. Mind boggling, truly.
I have just the thing for you. The Christian's minds are rarely changed by debating or arguing,. And considering that the future may be at stake, changing minds is more important than winning a debate. Three methods for changing minds that are gaining in popularity are: 1. Attitude Inoculation- This one is for those who are dipping their toes in the water of Woo, or in danger of becoming an extremeist. Just like a vaccine uses a weakened form of the virus to give immunity, so Attitude Inoculation uses a weakened form of the extremist positions to enable the individual to see how ridiculous it is. 2. Deep Canvassing- it started as a way to get people to question why they were voting against Gay Rights,and try to change minds but it has found to be useful under almost any occasion. It harnesses the human instinct to listen to a story-teller, and come to be more empathetic to them. 3. Street Epistemology- a method that combines Socratic question with techniques from Motivational Interviewing and the Carnegie Method. It is an effective technique, and has evolved far beyond the original idea in the infamous book. These are the top three ways of changing minds, but there are more. And none of them require more than a rudimentary knowledge of the interlocutors postion. If each of us picks one and becomes effective with it, we can once more feel optimistic for the future.

That would be hilarious. Watching Randy's parody song "Before He Tweets" gave me a laugh. I also admit that it would be interesting if Randy performed the song on the Nashville stop of his tour as it would no doubt be a hit with the theater crowd of Nashville, TN. Even better would be Carrie Underwood seeing the show and congratulating Randy on performing a hilarious parody of her most iconic song.
I almost passed this because in the past, I've been shocked to see what I thought was a parody was horribly real. However, I'm glad to have stopped by. Very funny and nicely done.
Best one yet. Add in trickle down and austerity and it's a win win situation for them and a lose lose situation for anyone "not them." Oh and don't forget changing the meaning of words and movements into slurs. They love that. Glory.
Another amazing Betty Bowers video. My wife and I just can’t stop laughing! We share your videos with as many friends, family and coworkers as we can think of. Hopefully some of the extreme right wing people in our country will begin to realize just how ridiculous and authoritarian the GOP party has become.
I love you! You say everything that our Democratic leaders should be saying. I've said for years that they should invest in a half hour TV commercial that runs during prime time on every network and social media site and expose every so called republican for who they really are and what they want America to be. Sometimes, I think the Democrat's are their own worst enemy because they have a history of not speaking out against these fascist.
Unfortunately, the only ones seeing this video are the people who already understand it. If the others happen to see it, they’ll just deny it. A real shame we are all in our own silos..😢
