White nationalist speaker Richard Spencer was to speak at Texas A&M on September 11th.
Today it was cancelled.
We suspect that everybody finally realized that Texas college campuses have concealed carry. One accidental snicker and that place would have been the OK Corral.
Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
Interesting. This could set up a clash between the First Amendment and the Second.
1Phew, so relieved! Not just for everyone on campus but especially for my darling niece who’s starting her freshman year there soon. Also kinda nice that the Texas House of Representatives stood together to make a statement against what happened in Charlottesville, even if they didn’t all really mean it. I’ll take the pretense of adults over the petulant, insincere, gritted teeth, fake sentiments of the orange boob.
And, yes, I agree that someone snapped to re: open carry on campus in time.
2I have a grandgirl who starts her 2nd year at A and M, so vested interested in no a$$holes with guns on campus.
3So these people are going on to a college campus and promote racism and hatred and bigotry, where people can hear them? How does that work?
4If you read the story, you’ll find the organizer only attended Texas A&M “a short time”. Like most of the alt-Reich, he’s apparently uneducated.
5Delusional much – they can maybe get the ACLU to represent them?
6Oh, noes! Stifling conservative speech on college campuses?
7I’m going to have to look again for a very helpful article by a university prof I found on Twitter about white racists. One of the factors they debunked is that the racists are stupid and uneducated. The leadership is not. They’re often professionals, highly educated. The lower level minions do tend to be less educated, but more importantly, are often victims of some type of childhood or youthful trauma. The recruitment process is similar to what cults do, starting out low key, but building a sense of victimhood in the newbie.
They suck the emotionally vulnerable people in. They’re so purely sleezily low.
8I read this in the article:
“Wiginton, a local white nationalist, announced his plans for the A&M rally on Saturday amid that violence. The headline for his press release read, “TODAY CHARLOTTESVILLE TOMORROW TEXAS A&M.” A&M officials cited that headline in their decision.”
That could be very helpful to A&M in any legal action. Interesting.
9So he attended TX A&M for only a short time? What is the story on his leave taking? Was he booted out for some reason, flunked out or punked out?
10Believing in Free Speech can be very stressful when that speech is ignorant, hateful, bigoted and sometimes creates violence.
Free Speech is worth it when we can criticize that horrific congress and that person in the White House.
They go together.
11Thomas Paine said ” I disagree with what you say but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it”. He didn’t qualify it. It’s hard to listen to the white supremacist, racist and just general hate message these statements, attitudes need the light of day so that the general public can see their actions and hear their words and determine how unworthy they are to be considered Americans! They want to anger us, to incite riot and physical violence. Don’t let them do this!! Restrict the areas in which rallies or protests can occur.
12Free speech is a great thing, but you still can’t yell “Fire!” for fun in a crowded place, and I have severe doubts about spreading hateful racist muck to a roomful of young people.
Just for the record, Paine didn’t say that. It’s attributed to Voltaire, but he didn’t say it either.
“The statement was actually written by a woman named Evelyn Beatrice Hall (pen name, S.G. Tallentyre) in her book ‘The Friends of Voltaire,’ 1906, in a passage where she was attempting to characterize his attitude about the importance of free speech (See the Sources below.) ”

This was part of a “White Lives Matter” rally. I’m not aware of anyone saying they don’t.
14I have become a big fan of my alma mater’s current president, Dr Michael K Young. When the news broke about Preston Wiginton’s “event” with Richard Spencer (??!) they hurry-up cobbled together a diversity rally on the other side of campus which was VERY well attended, and a lot of fun too. Large police presence for Spencer’s hoo-ha, just in case, and one sharp heckler, but otherwise a non-issue, and NOT well attended.
It is too bad Charlottesville didn’t quick host a community BBQ at that big park they tried to move the racist rally to. And it really stinks that the local authorities weren’t allowed to make decisions about the location of that rally that would obviously have been an attempt to promote the general welfare. There’s a judge that ruled in favor of the racists that has blood on his or her hands. The first amendment guarantees that you can say what you like (with a few caveats) while hanging out with whoever you like, but it doesn’t say anything about guaranteeing your chosen venue. That was a judge’s dumb decision!
15With freedom goes rsponsibility.
