  • Off topic but I thought this was funny. I saw on Pawn Stars a confederate school book that dated back to 1864 in North Carolina .Some of the illustrations went something like this:

    "If one confederate soldier can kill 90 yankees how many yankees can 10 confederate soldiers kill?

    Did you say 1864 or 1986 😁

    I have no issue with statues of historical figures as long as they are done in good taste but do not like the confederate flag being displayed in government buildings.

    Who supported Nazism?

    The individuals who were marching with the symbols, chants and gestures. When there was incident I'd expect the President to lead with sympathy to the families affected by the violence, followed closely by denouncing Neo-Nazi ideals and rhetoric. This was probably exactly what the current president was told to do.

    Rhetoric? Symbols? Gestures? Chants?

    So that first amendment shit only covers stuff you like right? And someone else should be able to take baseball bats to a BLM rally and bust a few heads right?

    How about a mosque? A gay pride parade? I know some people get pretty offended about that, right?

    1st Amendment is not absolute and I'd hope a civilized society would not support hate speech. And again others being wrong should not excuse the behavior of Neo-Nazis. Steve I didn't think you'd ever join the RationalizNation.

  • The 1st amendment IS absolute.. The 1st amendment allows you to be as stupid as you like.. It also keeps anyone from feeling they or their group are the deciders of what is and what isn't hate speech..

    I would think most Americans reject both sides of this fiasco

    The law has defined hate crimes and while we haven't codified laws against hate speech I believe most reasonable people can identify it and if it isn't unlawful it should be discouraged but hey I'm just a reasonable guy.

    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!

    What has he done, exactly?

    Besides the continual lying? Besides constant chirping about how great he is? Besides endorsing the Confederate States of White America? I guess he really hasn't done much of anything in terms of "Jobs, jobs, jobs" other than chirp, chirp, chirp. I can go to an aviary for that and accomplish about the same thing. Interesting that while I was typing this the co-author of "The Art of the Deal", Tony Schartz, said in an interview on TV that the word moral never came up in the 18 months he spent with him gathering information for the book. Further indicated its not in his vocabulary. He further said that the goal was always getting over on anyone he was dealing with and that 50 years of lying has not, and will not change.

    So for me that's what it comes down to. He's a despicable human being. There is a scene from "Hud" when the old man tells him he's an unprincipled man.

    Well I was raised to be a principled man and I don't tolerate unprincipled narcissistic liars very well at all. Would you want that bastard covering for your butt in a foxhole? If your answer is yes, then you're a fool.

  • Oh I'm sorry can you link to his endorsement of "The Confederate states of white America" please?

    😁 GTFO with that bullshit

  • So your basic complaint is "he's a big meanie." Duly noted. I think he's a clown also. And I also think you're being led around by the nose.

    "The Westboro Baptist Church uses this right to assemble often, and even though their speech is truly disgusting and offensive to most people in the world, their exercise of their rights has been in line with the constitution to date."

    Just wanted you to reread a piece of what you just linked. Doesn't seem to be a good choice to make your point.

  • There's a difference between "God Hates Fags" and "Purge fags from white America!" or something

    I'm sure the ambience is wildly different.

    So now Woody is defending and making excuses for the Westboro Baptist Church! What an outrage.

  • Yeah, I should have known better than to waste my time explaining the difference here...

  • you are one poster, woodpecker, that has rarely ever explained anything accurately.
