	I'd like to point out something that should be obvious to any intelligent person, but which has really been absurdly ignored by political correctness and the language police.
	And what reminded me of this was checking out a story on Breitbart.
	It said that Gloria Steinem, you know, a feminist, said that women felt, quote, sexually assaulted by Trump's language.
	Wait a minute.
	Sexual assault is a serious...
	It's a serious invasion of a woman's body.
	I mean, sexual assault.
	Surely a sexual assault can't be accomplished by the impersonal words of a president speaking.
	I mean, obviously...
	You can't sexually assault someone with words alone, especially when they're not even directed at someone in particular.
	It's a general speech by Trump.
	But you see the PC language police on the left now believe that words that they don't like are offensive and are really a kind of assault on their safe space, their psychological safe space.
	And I just want to be on the record...
	To state that no matter who you are or where you are on the political spectrum, you do not have a right to not be offended.
	Period.
	You do not have any such right.
	There is no such right.
	In fact, you don't even have a right to health care.
	You don't have a right to a free Obama phone.
	You don't have a right to food stamps.
	You don't have a right to free entitlements from society.
	Those are not rights.
	You have a right to your own thoughts.
	You have a right to your own words.
	You have a right to control your own body.
	You have a right to your possessions.
	You have a right to engage in contract with other people.
	You can make agreements with other people.
	Those are rights.
	You even have a right to self-defense, by the way, a natural right that's reflected across Mother Nature, plants and insects and animals.
	We all have the right to self-defense.
	You do not have a right to not be offended.
	And so somebody else's words are not weapons of mass destruction.
	They are not assault weapons.
	And you have no right to tell someone else that they can't use words that you find offensive.
	Now, there are limits, practical limits on free speech.
	For example, you do not have the right to run around threatening people in a malicious, violent way, you know, saying like Madonna says she wants to blow up the White House.
	That's a violation of law, frankly, if you believe she intended to actually carry that out, which I don't think she did.
	I think she's just expressing frustration.
	But if someone jumps on Facebook and says that they intend to murder the pigs or whatever, which is what Black Lives Matter people, some of them, have said, that's a threat.
	That's considered a threat.
	That's not free speech right there.
	But for Trump to say that he's going to cut Planned Parenthood funding, That's not a sexual assault on women.
	And so any of these snowflakes who think that they can demand that they run around the world and demand that no one else offend them, they gravely misunderstand free speech.
	And they also have no tolerance for any ideas other than their own because what they don't realize and what they need to realize is that they are offensive to everyone else.
	So people like Gloria Steinem and people like Madonna and people like Ashley Judd, those people are annoying as hell to everybody else.
	And yet, we don't run around saying that they are assaulting us with their words.
	We just call them what they are.
	Snowflake morons.
	You know, libtars.
	Whatever words you want to use.
	And if they happen to be offended by those words, that's...
	That's just all part of how free speech works, you see?
	It's not an assault on them to say that we're cutting abortion funding.
	If they want an abortion, why can't they pay for it themselves?
	I mean, everybody else has to pay for everything.
	So, you see my point.
	Free speech, we have to support free speech, which means that nobody has the right to demand that other people don't use certain words that they might find offensive or that they might find uninvited.
	And you know what?
	Even in an era of actual free speech, it's a free market, too.
	People can judge the value of other people's words and other people's ideas.
	So if someone runs up to you and they're a racist and they're an actual racist and they're screaming and yelling at you about your skin color and you can see they're an actual bigot, then you can just choose to disengage with them.
	Change the channel.
	Right?
	You don't have to just sit there and take it.
	You can disengage.
	And so everybody has a free choice of who they wish to engage with on social media or conversations or in their social circles or what have you.
	Now, if you're in a work environment and someone is being that way to you, you also have other forms of dealing with that.
	Racism in a work environment is actually illegal.
	So if someone's being racist toward you at work, you can complain to human resources and probably...
	That person will be fired if they're actually attacking you based on the color of your skin.
	But what's interesting to me is that if you're a college professor and you teach racism against white people, you're not fired.
	Isn't that interesting?
	So there are a lot of actual bigoted black college professors who are literally teaching systemic racism against people who have fair skin, which is an affront to every idea that Martin Luther King Jr.
	tried to teach us, that you should never judge people by the color of their skin, but rather by the content of their character.
	And Martin Luther King taught justice through peace, not through vengeance, not through a cycle of violence, but a cycle of disavowing the violence and saying, I will not participate in that violence.
	And yet the radical left today, the unhinged left, the offended women marching on Washington as part of the rioters and the violence and the looting, setting fires, smashing windows and threatening the assassination of Donald Trump. smashing windows and threatening the assassination of Donald Trump.
	That's what they believe in.
	That's what they espouse, and they say that you have to take it.
	Because even though they are offended by something that Trump says, you're not supposed to ever be offended by anything they do.
	If they burn down your house because you have white skin, you're supposed to just take it.
	Because you're supposed to have white guilt, you see, somehow.
	Or if you're a man, you're supposed to just stand there and take it while every sitcom and every television commercial demonizes you for being a man.
	Demonizes your masculinity.
	You're supposed to just sit there and take it.
	Because that's the culture of hatred, bigotry, and intolerance that was really on display in the Women's March in Washington, D.C. the other day.
	And it's sad.
	It's sad.
	And it really hurts the cause of feminism, actually, because it makes those feminists look like lunatics, even though that's not what most feminists are.
	And there really was an era not that long ago in which women couldn't vote or women were denied jobs based on their gender.
	There was discrimination against women, and yet to see women now...
	Sort of ruining the reputation of the feminist movement, making it appear like just a bunch of leftist, intolerant, bigoted lunatics is actually hurting women.
	And they don't see that because they're so narrow-minded.
	They don't see real intolerance when it comes from them.
	It's just like white racists back, you know, not even 100 years ago, let's say three generations ago, white racists living in America did not think they were racist.
	They thought black people were inferior and they would just refer to them with the N-word and they would just refer to them as lower forms of people.
	They thought that was normal.
	And today, the feminists think it's normal to attack men and attack white people and attack Trump.
	They don't see their own intolerance.
	And even the Black Lives Matter social justice warriors that are being trained to hate white people, they don't see their own intolerance.
	They don't see their own racism.
	They only see it in one direction.
	Whatever is directed at them is racism, but when they direct hatred and intolerance towards others, that's just normal.
	And it's the media outlets like CNN that create normalcy around this systemic, endemic racism and bigotry of the left.
	And that's how the cycle continues.
	It's the race baiters.
	It's the race war instigators in the mainstream media that just keep it going.
	So hate.
	Hate is a spiral.
	It is a cycle when it's being manipulated and fomented by elitists who are trying to use it to divide and conquer the population.
	And that's why the ultimate solution to all of this, to everyone, white people, black people, feminists, masculists, if there is such a word, to all people, is to stop the cycle of hatred and simply express who you are and be okay with other people to express who they are.
	And if I could say a universal principle that we should all And by the way, this will agree with the pro-choice women in this case, is that the government should keep its hands off our bodies and off our freedoms.
	The government has no right to tell us what to do with our bodies and our speech and our minds and even the privacy of our homes.
	And our personal relationships and even our financial transactions and savings and if we want to own guns, if we want to stockpile gold or whatever we want to do that doesn't harm someone else, if we want to be private target shooters in our own backyards or if we want to have five children instead of one, if we can afford to feed five children, that's our choice.
	choice.
	If we want to homeschool our children, if we want to prescribe natural medicine to our children, that's our choice.
	So I think a universal principle that makes a lot of sense if people think about it is that we the people should have the freedom to do what we want with our bodies and our money, our privacy, our property, our speech.
	The government has no role telling us what to do and what not to do.
	So then you might ask me, well, wait a minute, Mike, so why are you against partial birth abortions then?
	And the answer is very simple.
	At some point, and I don't know where this point is, at some point, what starts as a fetus inside the body of a woman becomes a being.
	Surely, When a child is about to be born, that's a living child.
	And that person deserves to have the protections of their life just as anyone else.
	So I don't know where that is.
	I'm not an expert on human fetal development, but I do know that Partially birthing a child and then killing it is wrong.
	It's not hard to see that that makes sense, that murdering a child in the ninth month as they're being born is wrong.
	But if someone just gets pregnant and then takes a pill to chemically abort a very small fetus that isn't yet a full child, in my mind that's a different argument.
	So there's a whole spectrum that we could get into here, but this is not a talk about abortion.
	The point of my talk is to say, Stop thinking that all of you can run around the world claiming you have some right to not be offended.
	You don't.
	You're going to be offended by some stuff that happens in the world.
	If you're not offended by things, you're probably not getting out enough.
	You need some sunlight.
	Take a walk in the forest and be offended by some ugly pine cones.
	Maybe you'll be offended by some mosquitoes.
	Get out in the world more.
	Get some practice at being offended.
	Then maybe you can handle reality a little bit better.
	In the meantime, as far as I'm concerned, one universal principle that I'm going to say is we've got to get the government out of our lives.
	The government's job is not to tell us how to live our lives or to spy on us or surveil us or be a nanny state parent that tells us how much soda we can drink or how much water we can flush in the toilet.
	We get the government out of our lives and all of us will be a lot less offended.
	Because the most offensive thing in the world, to me, is a bunch of totalitarian, elitist bureaucrats trying to tell me how to live my life.
	To me, that is so offensive that I won't tolerate it.
	That's why I support America.
	That's why I support Texas.
	That's why I support the Bill of Rights, the Second Amendment, free speech, First Amendment, Second Amendment, Fourth Amendment, Fifth Amendment, and on and on.
	Even the Third Amendment, I don't want them to quarter soldiers in my house.
	Isn't that what the Third Amendment is?
	Quartering soldiers in my house?
	You want a quarter of soldiers in my house?
	You gotta pay rent.
	That's it.
	It should be an honest exchange.
	Yeah, here's an extra cot.
	Pony up the rent, buddy.
	I'm sure the Pentagon can write a check.
	Anyway, enough said.
	Well, actually, one more comment.
	I'll wrap this up.
	You see, I don't believe in political parties.
	I am not a Republican or a Democrat or a Libertarian or an Independent.
	I believe in principles, universal principles, such as getting the government out of my life, the principle of self-determination, self-reliance.
	Principles of individual liberty, not collectivism.
	I am an opponent of collectivism.
	I am an opponent of centralized command and control economies, central planning economies.
	I am an opponent of corruption and collusion and graft, bribery in government.
	I'm an advocate of individual liberty, of individual ingenuity, innovation, entrepreneurship, scientific discovery.
	Sharing, transparent information, all of these things that help move humanity forward.
	And both political parties, both of the dominant parties in America, have contradictions.
	Many, many, many contradictions on the political left, of course.
	But also a few on the hardcore conservative side as well.
	So that's why I don't believe in political parties.
	I don't believe in tribalism.
	I don't believe in even just the label of feminism trying to turn all women into a tribe, a gang.
	It's absurd.
	I don't believe in black power, white power, or any form of tribalism.
	I can't even stand to watch football.
	Because it's just two tribes duking it out on the field for someone's entertainment.
	I'm not against kids playing football as a form of exercise.
	I'm just saying the marketing and packaging of professional sports like that, it's offensive to me.
	So I change the channel.
	I choose to do something else.
	I don't waste my time and my consciousness watching that display of raw, unintelligent tribalism and corporatism.
	Sort of sports colonialism, if you will.
	So, I believe in universal principles, and that is what I advocate, that's what I vote for.
	Universal principles of liberty, transparency, and truth.
	And, of course, protecting life, which is why I'm opposed to third trimester abortions.
	That's why I believe in protecting life.
	So all you women out there, you want to get a first trimester abortion, that's probably always going to remain legal.
	And I'm not going to fight you on that.
	But you go to the third trimester, I'm definitely going to fight to protect that child.
	Because it's almost born.
	And it has memories and senses and experiences and a soul.
	Maybe I'll talk about abortion more later and how I combine the principles of individual liberty plus protecting life to be opposed to third trimester abortions.
	I guarantee you, my positions on this are not driven by a tribe.
	They're not driven by a political narrative.
	They are driven by the contemplation and the embracing of very specific universal principles that I apply across the board.
	I don't make exceptions, and my political philosophies are not filled with contradictions.
	And that's why I have no affiliation to any political party.
	Hope that makes sense.
	And I hope you'll join me in thinking for yourself.
	I'm also opposed to gurus and cult leaders and the deification of so-called religious figures.
	I think that you are your own savior.
	You and God, you can talk directly to the divine.
	You can connect with the divine.
	I don't mean speech.
	I mean you can communicate with the divine.
	You don't need someone to translate God and creation and nature to you.
	You have direct, you can be right in touch with it yourself.
	That's why I'm opposed to gurus and fraudsters and hucksters and cult leaders and deified humans.
	I'm completely opposed to all that crap.
	Think for yourself and heal yourself, empower yourself, expand your knowledge and awareness, and you are capable of so much more than you probably ever imagined.
	All you have to do is stop being tricked by everything out there in society that tries to claim dominion over your consciousness and your words and your beliefs and your ideas.
	It's all just illusion and disinformation and attempts to control you.
	Cast off that control.
	Be your own person.
	Think for yourself.
	I don't want to...
	Okay, you get my point.
	I don't want to make this go on another 10 minutes, so I'll just wrap it up there.
	I'll do another talk sometime just about cults and why I'm so strongly opposed to cults.
	So, okay, take care.
