Response to ‘Safety Pin’

December 6, 2016 by Guest Post

In response to safety pin, since when does the safety pin, which is really a diaper pin, stand for anything other than liberal intolerance of those who don’t agree with how they think? These people who you call “standing up loudly” are disturbing the peace, disrupting traffic, causing violence, spewing hate, killing and being sore losers.
This is what you get when everyone gets a trophy for participating; they can’t take anything that doesn’t go their way. When I was a child I didn’t get a participation trophy and I learned to take disappointment and be sincerely happy for the winner without throwing temper tantrums like I see in the news.
Any teacher who is encouraging students to participate in these mob protests should be fired from their job! To start, they are endangering students’ lives, as one never knows what can happen at these events. Secondly, they are teaching students to be sore losers, crybabies, and not showing how a mature person acts in society.
Many people weren’t happy how the election turned out, but let me tell you, on the other side those who didn’t want the Clintons or Obamas were in your shoes when they were in the White House. But, you didn’t see conservatives throwing temper tantrums and crying like babies. This is because we are mature adults and I suggest those who didn’t like the results of the election, get over it, you lost, move on with your lives.
If I see anyone wearing a safety pin, I will know they are part of the racist haters who are crybabies and are not fit to be in society because they are too immature to handle any disappointment.
