It’s easy to virtue signal highly when the cost is so low; when the rubber hits the road, however, not so much. Take sanctuary cities run by Democrats (or States or towns or whatever) who have LOUDLY proclaimed that illegal aliens are welcome.

Non-Islamic Women Advocate for the Subjugation of All Women (Again!)
They’ve been doing some fine virtue-signaling up there in the Great White North. Women who think they know a thing or two but haven’t seen a thing or two donned hijab to combat Islamophobia. Dopes.
CDC Vaccine Distribution Plan – Virtue Signalling and Social Justice First
Marcella Nunez-Smith, a chief Biden adviser, is praising a federal recommendation prioritizing minority groups in distributing the coronavirus vaccine. Support for the use of race as the basis for federal distribution of the Covid vaccine would appear to be the definition of discrimination.
“Hate Has No Home Here” is Virtue-Signaling
When I see the “Hate Has No Home Here” signs in my Nashua neighborhood, at the YMCA and the library, and other public buildings, it looks like virtue-signaling to me.
Kansas City Chiefs Fans Are Paying for their “Chief’s” Virtue-Signaling
Hey, I thought that if you were a “Chief,” you were in charge – that others were supposed to bend to you. Not so much. The Kansas City Chiefs are the next professional sports team to take a knee to the Political Correctness Police.
Next-Level Virtue Signal: L’Oreal to Remove Words Like ‘Fairness’ and ‘White’ From Products
Not long from now, it will be verboten to use terms like White Hat or words like Blackmail. And can the thought police are not far behind? I know, they are already here, but they will no longer be able to lighten dark spots of whiten skin tone no matter what color your skin.
NBA Reporter on Riots: Burn That Sh*t Down – Wait, Not My Sh*t!
Today’s virtue-signaling semi-celebrity A-Hole du Jour is NBA reporter Chris Palmer. The former ESPN talking head (torso, arms, and legs) took to Twitter to share his support for the rioters. A picture of a large building engulfed in flames with the caption “Burn that sh*t down. Burn it all down.”
School funding alone won’t help children out of poverty
To The Daily Sun, Haley Thomas’s 1/29/20 letter makes valid points about childhood and generational poverty, and their negative effects on peoples’ lives. But Thomas’s apparent solution, increased school funding, is simply inadequate, and, based on decades of history, unlikely to improve educational results or reduce poverty. Calling for school funding increases may make people … Read more
Should We Virtue Signal With Guns?
Nine days ago, I wrote about Wal-Mart and Corporate Virtue Signaling. CEO Doug McMillon talked about kissing up to the anti-gun left. More corporate virtue signaling followed thereafter. As expected, a few of my fellow pro-gun virtue signalers responded with comments about “signs.” #SoStuckOnSigns
Open Carry of Guns is Virtue Signaling
Open carry of guns is virtue signaling. Yes indeed. The statement is not a negative against those who open carry, but it is what it is: Virtue Signaling. When my brother or sister in arms goes grocery shopping or to the store with a visible and open firearm, they are sending a message for all who see them. “I support the right for an individual citizen to keep and bear arms.” It is right out there for the whole world to see. My view on open carry is neutral.
I do not open carry when out in public. That is a personal choice I have made for me. I do open carry at the gun range to which I am a member. However, the range is a private organization and I am among, “fellow travelers.” I am not going to denigrate anybody’s personal choices to open carry. I respect my fellow citizen’s right to keep and bear arms.
Data Point – Climate change is mostly about virtue-signaling, not actually doing (unless you are the US)
About that “Paris Accord”? Reformatted, emphasis mine:
Nineteen nations “believe” in climate change. How are they backing up their statement of faith? China was praised for signing on to the Paris Climate Agreement and in Argentina reaffirmed its commitment to controlling greenhouse gas emissions. Last year, however, China increased those emissions by 1.7 percent. India, the fourth largest source for CO2, saw their emissions grow by 4.6 percent in 2017. Luckily for them, they too were praised for signing that “nonbinding communiqué.” Overall, the European Union raised their CO2 output by 1.5 percent. France, home of the Paris Agreement, is leading the diplomatic effort to save the planet. They increased their greenhouse gas emissions by 3.6 percent. . . .
If the nations paying lip service to climate change aren’t meeting their goals, imagine how poorly the oil-drilling, coal-mining Americans must be doing.
With crap like this, you know it’s only a Power play.
I think that my friend John Hawkin’s new site is going to be a PIA to feminists everywhere. Well, actually they bring it upon themselves – like with this!
Seriously, if you are going around thinking that EVERY man wearing sunglasses is oogling you with evil intent:
- You’ve had too much caffeine – just put the cup down and step away from the coffeepot.
- You flatter yourself WAY too much
- Does this also mean your Dad is evil, too?
After all, as former President (and no longer the worst President in history) Jimmy Carter once said:
Let’s see I have this straight – Injection needles for drugs good, plastic straws for toddlers and young children bad?
Yeah, I think I have that down pat. All over the nation in the bigger cities I read of “needle exchange programs” for people using illicit drugs who then drop them all over the place, including where young children play in parks and playground and schoolyards. There’s even talk of setting up “shoot up rooms” so that illegal drug users can shoot up “in safety” – all the Progressives are perfectly fine with this. You know, “helping” those that are doing criminal acts so as to do more of it. Hey, “No Stigma!” is all the rage. It’s like taxes in reverse – tax that what you want less of while removing yet another brick in the Wall That Is Society; it’s just flashing yet another green light for yet more bad behavior. Add in condemnation for us that rightfully call out these accessories to illegal behavior for being wrong and you certainly get more of it.
But use a plastic bendy straw with which to suck on a cool libation…oooh, that’s BAD! You Polluter you, you hate the Earth, you hate turtles who get stuck with straws up their noses
Sidenote: my extremely dry humor Eldest quiped – “well, it shouldn’t have been doing a line of coke in the ocean, should it?” to which my rejoinder was “how’d it stay dry?” But I’m off topic.
