Yahoo! News reported that Pratt, The Jurassic World and Guardians of The Galaxy star is “facing criticism” over wearing a T-shirt with the “controversial symbol,” because it “has been adopted by Far Right political groups like the Tea Party, as well as gun-toting supporters of the Second Amendment.”
First of all, the Tea Party? Really? A bunch of old fiscal conservatives who got together in 2009 to combat Obama’s over-indulgent government spending is now in the same league as the anti-semitic, racist torchbearers of Charlottesville, VA, or the New Zealand shooter? They brought their own garbage bags to rallies, for goodness sake. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
