As a lifelong Loony Tunes fan, I’m a firm believer that there’s no issue that hasn’t already been commented upon by Bugs Bunny and friends.  This week, Elon Musk’s outrageous tendency to believe that he and others should be free to use Twitter to voice opinions that don’t agree with Leftist orthodoxy, sparked yet another public furor.  The spark for the fire came from Musk’s seemingly innocuous tweet, “My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci,” which caused those on the lockdown Left to lose what’s left of their minds.  This strife reminded me of the 1952 Bugs Bunny cartoon, Rabbit Seasoning, in which Bugs’ careful use of language results in Daffy Duck being repeatedly shot by hunter Elmer Fudd.  They just don’t make children’s entertainment like that anymore.

 

 

 

 

Anyhow, Daffy ascribes his predicament to a simple cause – “Pronoun trouble.”  And now, 70 years after Loony Tunes framed the issue, pronoun trouble unfortunately is still with us.  The Left demands that we all bow down and accept the notion that there are an unlimited number of genders, which may be adopted or discarded at will.  Because of this, Woke imbeciles are quick to attack any real or imagined dissenting opinion, which might interfere with their plans to, you should pardon the expression, shove their position down our throats.  The Musk tweet was no exception.  Astronaut Scott Kelly, who may have spent too much time in the vacuum of outer space, quickly hit back, “Elon, please don’t mock and promote hate toward already marginalized and at risk-of-violence members of the #LGBTQ+ community.  They are real people with real feelings.  Furthermore, Dr. Fauci is a dedicated public servant whose sole motivation was saving lives.”  For my part, I didn’t view the Musk tweet as any type of attack on or even comment on LGBT people, but simply as a comment on Fauci.  To my way of thinking, the notion that any reference to the word “pronouns” must be limited to a celebration of LGBT-whatever values is an insult to the English language.  However, the gauntlet having been thrown down, Musk was quick to respond.  “I strongly disagree.  Forcing your pronouns on others when they don’t ask, and implicitly ostracizing those who don’t, is neither good nor kind to anyone.  As for Dr. Fauci, he lied to Congress and funded gain of function research that killed millions of people.  Not awesome IMO.”  The Musk tweet garnered more than 1 million “likes,” but it set the medical community on Twitter afire, with some educational institutions threatening to leave the platform unless Musk renounces his post.  Dr. Peter Hotez,  of Texas Children’s Hospital tweeted, “Dr. Fauci has done nothing wrong.  200,000 Americans needlessly lost their lives from Covid due to this kind of anti-science rhetoric and disinformation.”  Apparently, no one should be permitted to call for accountability from the medical community, which wants both the power to impose ruinous mandates, and immunity from its mistakes.  Personally, I don’t favor prosecuting Fauci, but expecting him to give honest answers to Congressional committees is the least Americans can expect from someone who poses as the foremost authority on all things medical.  And I don’t understand Dr. Hotez’s statistic.  If 200,000 died because they were not vaccinated, then what about the 800,000 Americans who died despite the fact that they listened to Fauci?  Someone needs to answer for that.   Comments from political sources were predictable.  From Senator Amy Klobuchar, “Courting vaccine deniers is not a sound business strategy.”  And all this from five little words posted by Musk, none of which mentioned vaccines or deniers thereof.  The Hill called it, “the latest attack” on Dr. Fauci.  ABC News, not to be outdone, said the tweet attacked Fauci and mocked the LGBT community.  The White House went even further, as spokes-idiot Karine Jean-Pierre proclaimed the tweet, “dangerous on Dr. Fauci and other public health professionals, disgusting and divorced from reality.”  Wow!  Anyone who works for Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden should be careful about commenting on reality.  And is this where we’ve come to?  Leftists should be careful about  condemning of Elon Musk’s words as hate speech that may subject others to violence, lest they be held to their own standard.  For about 7 years now, Democrats and their fellow-travelers in the lapdog media have been calling for the prosecution and imprisonment of President Trump, and anyone in any way connected to President Trump.  By the Left’s bogus standard, does this not condemn them as purveyors of hate speech (a form of speech that does not exist in the law) and inciters to violence?  Thanks to the efforts of Elon Musk, we now know that Twitter, and I’m sure every other social media and internet platform, cancelled accounts and banned messages that challenged Democrat policies, or were likely to damage Biden’s chance for election.  And they did this, not based on “hacked-materials” policies or based on some actual threat of violence, but simply because agencies such as the FBI and people the likes of Michele Obama directed them to do so.  Musk is about to release Twitter documents that prove that the site banned medical opinions from responsible medical professionals that contradicted the Fauci policies.  The uproar from the medical community over the Musk tweet proves only that the last thing these “experts” want is to be held accountable for their actions.  Furthermore, turning what was no more than a comment on Fauci into an attack on the LGBT community is the vilest form of hyperbole. Expecting the highest paid federal official to provide honest testimony before a Congressional committee isn’t really a case of pronoun trouble, it’s a case of governmental accountability trouble, from privileged bastards who have grown to believe they can get away with anything without consequences.
