  • Byrd was not a former Grand Wizard. Fake news.

    And once again when current criticism of Trump comes out we hear the usual attempts to deflect the conversation......................................."but Hillary".

    And once again I will continue to say this is about Trump who is president, not Hillarity who is not.

    LOL! 😁 Let's at least be accurate. I did not support Trump who I feared would do exactly as he has done. In this state there was no alternative for President other than Hillarity. Had I had any other viable choice I would have gone there. Libertarian? Green Party? Not me!

    Actually, my understanding is based in fact. I understand the pressure to drop slavery that existed at the time from Europe and elsewhere. I also understand that it was necessary to pry it from the cold, dead hands of the people that held on to it. Like I said, the war erupted because the balance of power regarding slavery was due to be potentially upset by the direct threat of adding more slave or free states. So, I am referring to the synchronic forces in play, while you seem to prefer to emphasize the diachronic forces. It's a classic tit for tat in historical discussions, or so I learned in my doctoral history courses at OSU. πŸ™‚

    Your assessment is not based on fact because those circumstances never came to pass. Your assessment is based on speculation.

    And the speculation isn't even based on fact.

    As I said before and you choose to ignore oil would soon replace cotton as the commodity of the day. The need for human labor would drop drastically. So why bear the expense and danger of keeping slaves?

    No, the Missouri Compromise, Kansas-Nebraska Act and "Bleeding Kansas" were facts. Because of them the war "came to pass." It is called history. Your speculation that slavery would be gone "soon enough" is, quite simply, speculation. Your speculation never "came to pass" in actual history because the war stopped it first. See how that works?

    Also, why "bear the expense and danger of keeping slaves"? Ludicrous question, considering they wrecked their new-born Confederacy and killed hundreds of thousands of their own men just to KEEP SLAVES. Why do that? For the historical reasons I cited in earlier posts.

  • I would like to point out though that it's pretty obvious that the president said nothing wrong and there is blame on both sides for the violent Clash. Even Woody seems to think so except that he'll probably change that because it means that he has to agree with me or the president. So exactly what is this battle over?

    I realize it may be hard for you and others on here to follow, but it's possible to agree with ideas and actions, regardless of political party. Half of this board would find a way to disagree with Hillary saying 2+2=4.

    When Trump says climate change is a hoax created by the Chinese I don't disagree because Trump said it. I disagree because it's a stupid thing to say.

  • im pretty sure that within the 10 pages or so it is clear that you walked back the "you are all nazi sympathizers"

    to pretty much the middle ground and the agreeable side.

    no, you disagree because you are a wannabe antifa woman woodypeckerhead.

    Global warming WTF? Anyway of course it's hard to understand because you spend most of your time brainlessly bickering sort of like a Cleve Lite.

    This entire Firestorm is due to the fact that Trump dared to say there is blame on both sides for the violence.

  • I don't have much in common with the ACLU except on the matter of free speech where their view is spot on. The answer to speech you find offensive is not to try and shut it down but more speech. The answer to the KKK and neo nazis is not to go to their rallies with clubs and weapons but to hold counter rallies against them and peacefully protest This is where the leftist antifa are as bad as any other hate group and should be held responsible for what happened in Charlottseville as much as the white supremacists.

  • Plain and simple - the left wants only the white sups and neonazis mentioned and blamed, so they

    can go ballistic with their hate Trump for winning false narratives.

    but both sides were scum, both went looking for serious trouble. They found it.

  • New York Times: Some Charlottesville Protesters Were Not White Supremacists, Nazis

    http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/08/17/new-york-times-charlottesville-protesters-not-white-supremacists-nazis/

    Interesting and seems to go along with what Trump said about good and bad people on both sides. I still believe good and evil do not mix and I would never be anywhere near racists and bigots for any cause. There is a guilt by association. I think there are good people on both sides of this debate but the KKK, white supremacists and neo nazis aren't any part of it. And neither is the communist anarchist antifa.

    If you were beaten and humiliated everyday by white people like this charming young man, we would give you a pass too.

    Just pay the reparations and this will all go away.

  • I don't think your understanding the new rules, criticism is of course racism. He is an amazingly handsome african prince is what you meant to say. Get this right or Bill Nye will send you off into the sun or something!!

    Gotta love the posters in this board. Trump could say the sun rises in the west and sets in the east and they'd say well Obamacare is ruining the middle class. SMH

    There was.
