Viper is not a native English speaker, so he doesn't know the meaning here: "shoving it down my throat" means "existing".
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Even if it was true that the writer of that meme didn't care at all and is annoyed by fanatical cultish social justice activists who take thing in weird directions, it still makes no sense to use that as a justification for not having patience or tolerance for gay or ethnic minorities. It is not like all of them are that kind of extreme twitter social justice activist.

"The right" is not some monolithic entity. Maybe he really doesn't care.

Well, the last sentence has some merit - disconnected from the rest of what was written.

Also, if I was my sister's employer I'd be wary of any "natural" deaths under her watch. :ph34r:

That is wild. Why would any nurse have that opinion?

I can tell you that back in the day, we definitely went out to play after school, in the same clothes we wore to school, and rarely, if ever, did homework.

There must have been some other hellish time when kids only did homework after school.

There are legitimate concerns about over-use of medical interventions because of economic incentives to generate billings or the practice of defensive medicine to avoid potential liability.
But I don't know what the intent was of the blurb.
