The other day I went to the GrokPAC PO Box to see what might be in it. I had expected to see “business” mail, but I wasn’t surprised when I didn’t. And I wasn’t surprised that I had other mail. There were ten or so responses to our mailers concerning the smut and pornographic books that can be found in Public School Libraries.

Yes, porno books. Books that if I were to read excerpts from them on TV or radio, the “7-second delay” button would be pressed immediately.
As I posted earlier, if I was to read those same excerpts at a School Board meeting, my mic would be cut. But they allow such porn to be available to children in libraries that we Parents used to believe (to use the language of the Left) to be “Safe Spaces.” Ladies and Gentlemen, your elected School Board Representatives, School District Superintendents, school librarians, and other staff are making the statement that porn IS safe for your child.
Do you agree with that? And I will start posting up those excerpts in later posts. This one’s purpose was to just illustrate some of the responses. Most people don’t like to receive it – I think it is rather amusing, depending on what they are complaining about. So, I will post them (see FAQs here) as “Object Lessons.”
The first one is rather mild. It was only one word long but did say a lot. Actually, his actions said the most about his message. And those actions were to take our envelope and stuff it into a larger one and send it back:
Amusing (“OR Current Resident”) – I’ll give him some points for that. The one-word message was on “our” envelope (which I have cropped): “Nah.”
I dryly note that the outside envelope does have GrokPAC on it, but our envelope seems to have not been opened. Or he did a great job in resealing it (or someone else told him what was inside). However, his response was mild and fairly non-descript, but showed that he might have had an idea what was in it and didn’t care. At all. OK, that’s up to him.
At the other end of the spectrum was someone that really wanted to give us a piece of what remains of her mind. Free speech – I’m happy to have that debate. But I do have concerns, grave concerns, about people that have no problems with porn being accessible to minor children – especially in the lower grades. This response just hit TILT!
Sidenote: Yes, harkening back to the day when arcades were mostly pinball machines, and you pushed too hard trying to “guide” the ball where you wanted it to go. I could make a dime or quarter last most of an afternoon back in my college days when studying and needed to take a break.
This next person definitely had more on her mind and certainly wanted to let me know it. Yes, I AM making the assumption that it was a woman because I know very few men that have such good handwriting. So if you happen to know this lady, tell her thanks for me. Here’s the front of the envelope she sent, and her message back to us started here:
Well, she didn’t want to stop there. Talking points, talking points, talking points – every one certifiable and stereotypical of how some of the Left
Yes, just for removing porn from little kids, I’m a hater, I’m a racist, I’m a fascist (I bet she doesn’t even know what the word means – she’s certainly not reading GraniteGrok, is she?). As to the last bit, the mailer she received was one that Matt Wilhelm is from (Hillsborough 42, Manchester Ward 1). So, heavily Democrat.
But she wasn’t done there. She decides to add a “message” on our actual flier as well:
It says:
- Freedom of choice!
- They are free to read what they want – it’s the USA!
- Why are you pushing your views on others?
Well, no. Kiddie porn is illegal and it is illegal to give it to minors. So neither #1 or #2 are true. IF you are an adult, well, I may not like it (at all!) but you can obtain and view it unless it has been adjudicated otherwise.
As to #3, I find this to be almost totally true across the spectrum of the Left. What THEY say is what it should be – there can be no discussion. While she is complaining about my advocating about my views, isn’t she doing the same? Why is it only one way? Am I supposed to just “go along and get along” with her (and the Left’s) ideas on this? Isn’t this what politics is supposed to be?
Er, no. Or at least it seems that one. Once again, I’m happy. Why? As Pappa Smurf (Sununu, Sr.) used to say all the time: “Talk, talk, talk. Then talk some more”. The reference was in talking to our families, talking to our friends, talking with others about Conservative values running up to an election. The Left HATES that!
I’ve turned it around (among many others that have done so as well – The Left wants to SILENCE us – I want them TO KEEP TALKING, TALKING, and even more TALKING! It shows everyone who they are and what they think.
Fascists, anti-Freedom, and Stupid.
I really never knew that allocating taxpayer money to give minor children porn books is the epitome of Freedom!
Sorry, I disagree. Children are MINORS, and Society has agreed to restrict their rights until they get older, wiser, and more mature and reach the Age of Majority. It should go, however, that not all that attain such an age are wiser, smarter, or more mature. Many of them that haven’t are called “college kids” (I kid! I kid! Er, mostly).
However, it illustrates one of the huge chasms between the two philosophies – what should Freedom be recognized as? With respect to age, who has complete Freedom – and who doesn’t?
Guess that should be another post that speaks back to FDR’s Second Bill of Rights and Freedom itself. Liberty vs. Libertine.
However, it’s clear – she isn’t going to be voting Republican any time soon…though I do wonder if she “split her ticket” and voted for Sununu for Gov.
