The other day, I accepted a Facebook friend request from someone, because his FB bio showed he and I had attended the same high school and college: The McCallie School, in Chattanooga, Tennessee; and Vanderbilt University, in Nashville.
This from him, then showed up in my FB timeline:
Joseph P. Walker III
March 8
First off, we all need to be thankful that our country has a citizen like Tucker Carlson that is ferreting out the lies that seem to spring daily from DC and their chorus of sycophant nattering Media. Unless one is deaf, dumb and blind or irrationally partisan, the released January 6th tapes reveal that our Democratic Party as well useful Republican toadies have lied often and loudly about the January 6th Insurrection. Let me be specific, there never was an insurrection. For 26 months we have been fed this political hog wash for the expressed purpose delegitimizing the Presidency of Donald Trump and to take whatever steps necessary to prevent him from future office; while at the same time jailing many so called insurrectionists with out trial. Now is the time that we recognize that our free press in so many ways has become a propaganda tool of one political viewpoint while at the same time our Constitutional right to a fast and fair trial has been denied too long within our judicial system. And sadly after viewing these tapes, our court system may have convicted fellow citizens even though the tapes themselves reveal exculpatory facts that would have thrown some cases out of court or mitigated harsh sentences. I am personally disgusted with this trampling of our rights, and I hope you are too. We can and must rectify this miscarriage of truth promptly.

This Independent asks where were you MAGA folks when Mitch McConnell and Mike Pence and the Capitol Police blasted Donald Trump right after this peaceful demonstration below, which Ivanka and Jared had tried to get Trump to deal with a lot quicker than he finally did? Have you folks been paying attention to what Tucker's boss Rupert Murdock is saying about FOX news reporting of Jan 6 and the stolen election claims?
Cindy
Omg what drugs are you on that you would actually believe all that hogwash you are preaching? It appears you were paid by ol mafia Don Trump himself and speaking of trampling on rights, how about the trampling of the rights and the persoñage of 100 police officers. Did you ñot see the live footage?
Joseph P. Walker IIICindy l after reading your FB blurb, I think you are not a real person ; just a mish mash of information that is beneath the experience of someone supposedly born in 1947. What ever you say you are has used any inferior AI creation. If you wish to draw rhetorical swords with me come out of the shadows or bugger off.CindyJoseph P. Walker III lol. I'm not real? Ask my admirers . Have you seen my picture?The birthdate is to ward off the crazies. Looks like it didn't workJoseph P. Walker IIICindy Getting back to the original topic Jan 6th 114 Officer's injured ( acknowledged as bad by Tucker Carlson) but no officers were killed. In fact any officers who died well after Jan 6th were suicides and no one except God really knows the reason. General Garland repeated the same lies about Jan 6th. After Fox had viewing of videos Monday night. You are certainly welcome to continue believing what isn't true like, insisting the World is flat when in fact it isn't. But your poltical bubble has been irrevocably popped.CindyJoseph P. Walker III OMG lol. So you believe those suicides were not instigated by the actions of those red necked, gullible insurrectionists.Joseph P. Walker IIINon potes figere stultus!!!GTH!!Sloan BashinskyCindy You might as well try persuading a snake that it isn't a snake. I have no fondness for the Democrats, nor for the Republicans. Two cults, or, if you will, religions, which cherrypick facts and reality to suit their lemming-ness. No, I'm not a Libertarian. I'm a human.CindySloan Bashinsky talk about drugs! What the hell are you talking about? I have no idea what you are responding to. Just another erratic, nonsensible, blind trumperI suppose.Sloan BashinskyCindy Gosh, I don’t see how even a blind Trumper could in 10,000 years think I’m a Trumper, whose lemmings have elevated him above Jesus and God. Please reread my comments here.I can’t imagine why Jospeh Walker sent me a friend request, yesterday, I think. I suppose he didn’t check out what I post at my FB page.CindySloan Bashinsky who is Joseph Walker?Sloan BashinskyCindy The fellow who launched this inane Tucker propaganda, with whom you have been fencing :-)Looks to me that he, Tucker Carson and their ilk are AIs, robots, lemmings. The same can be said of most lefties. The facts, the truth, don't pick sides, but are what they are.
Cindy Woodall
Sloan Bashinsky Why can't Trump's cult accept this.truth?
Sloan BashinskyCindy Woodall Looks to me they can't see anything they don't want to see, which I imagine pleases the Devil. The left is like that, too. They have made their politics their religions, and they have to be loyal.
Cindy WoodallSloan Bashinsky I definitely see Trump as being the closest thing to an anti-christ that the world has ever seen, and I'll bet he'll skate by his present troubles. Satan protects his disciples
Sloan BashinskyCindy Woodall I hope not
Cindy WoodallSloan Bashinsky hope not what? Which statement?
Sloan BashinskyCindy Woodall he doesn’t skate
Cindy WoodallSloan Bashinsky pray he finally receives what he deserves!
Sloan Bashinsky
Cindy Woodall I don’t pray that way, because I think it’s God’s call.
Joseph P. Walker III
Sloan Bashinsky I didn't friend you because of supposedly shared political views but because I thought you are interesting and I haven't been dismayed from that view. I will say this we all Left, Right Center and Independent have been abused by our political leadership for a long time on a lot of fronts and it's time for the average American to wake up from it's Rip Van Winkle sleep and realize that the People created this government and not the other way round. As for Tucker Carlson, I found all of his interviews have been provocative and interesting and importantly He seems to pick interviewees from differing occupations,and political viewpoints but gives them much more free rein to express themselves than the typical three minutes sound bite his competition allows. As for my views I am unabashedly Rightist so long as I and others are allowed the right to speak freely about the judgement and mistakes of our political leadership.I find that media people in the vein of Tucker Carlson know how to skewer fools that had the American public not been asleep in 2020 would never have voted for in the first place. Hopefully the American voter won't fall for the gibberish mouthing of our current POTUS in 2024.

Joseph P. Walker III, after the Jan 6 insurrection, didn't Tucker Carlson give free reign to people on his show, who were hollering the election had been stolen, and privately Tucker was saying those people were making shit up? Hasn't Rupert Murdock, Tucker's boss, been saying the same thing, lately? Tucker reminds me of a very young man still trying to prove himself, and he will go to great lengths to try to do it.
The problem with being unabashedly right, is the same problem as being unabashedly left. You can't be objective, clinical, about what you have made into your religion.
As far as your tolerance for people who don't agree with you, you wrote this to a woman you don't even know, who called you out on your Tucker Carson post:

Looks to me the Republican, MAGA and Democrat religions consist of programmed AIs, robots, clones.
When I attended The McCallie School, it was run by hard-core Presbyterians: one of the founders and his two sons. We were required to attend chapel service every week day morning before class and every evening before dinner, and every Sunday evening. We had to attend a church service in Chattanooga on Sunday morning. We got Saturday off. We had to wear pretend military attire and march every week day carrying empty M1 carbines, which we had learned to field strip and reassemble.
Old Testament and New Testament were required courses. The founder taught the New Testament Course. He said he believed the Soviet Union leader, Nikita Kruschev, was the Anti-Christ, and we might be called to pick pup our M1 Carbine's, for which we had no ammunition, to defend America. He said he believed he was one of The Elect. He said that he and his wife of 60 years had sex three times. Twice to have children, and once for pleasure, and he had regretted the third time ever since. His poor wife.
Vanderbilt was a liberal arts university with an excellent engineering department and medical school, a divinity school, a lousy football team and a good basketball team. I mostly majored in my fraternity, socializing, drinking beer, intramural sports and meeting and falling in love with my first wife. I had no fucking clue what lay ahead. Had I known, I might have drank a whole lot more beer.
Instead, I enrolled in the University of Alabama School of Law, in Tuscaloosa, where I would watch some very good Crimson Tide football teams led by Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant, whose Sunday afternoon TV replay show was sponsored by Coca Cola and my father's Golden Flake Potato Chip Company. "Great pair, says the Bear."
Little did I know what lay ahead. Had I known, I would have drunk a lot more beer and smoked a lot of marijuana.
