I am somehow reminded of the fable of the old woman and the snake.

Hey, you knew he was a snake when you signed on, how are you surprised now?

The Board of Directors at Liberty, who actually care about the institution and not the profits, have had more than enough material to rid themselves of this spoiled brat of a fraud.

If they don’t remove him this year, they get what they deserve.

Sure, but all he needs to do is read the Gospels – Jesus did not ask for a tax exemption:

Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.

Matthew 22:21

How in the world can racism and willful ignorance thrive if we start silencing very fine people like Falwell?

That is sad. Very sad!

Falwell is exactly what we think he is - a hypocritical morality contortionist

OK - he has a strong disagreement with the governor about the requirements fro wearing a mask … not a great argument to decide to pursue - but OK you are entitled to pick your fights

But then - Falwell reveals himself as the racist purveyor of hate that he has always been - out of all of the ways to pursue this argument - he - for some inexplicable reason (actually just to introduce a contrived cowardly racist point) - brings up “Blackface” includes a picture of someone in black face - and in effect is promoting the creation and wearing of these racists masks - why? - oh just to make a point in his feud with Northam and wave the blackface picture around for his own daily fix of vileness.

Hey, don’t play favorites - Jerry Jr. has his pool boy and his on-campus personal trainer, both quite young. What he doesn’t seem to have are any young women.
