I take that back then, they surely love their loser down there. I guess he won a lot of games for them, but never the big one.

Many southerners I have met explain it like this - they set the huge race issues aside (typically thru the eye of how the world viewed slavery in 1860) and talk about the unfair tariffs at that time & states rights vs. federal rights. They also lost almost the same number of ancestors (60/40). So they view the naming of a couple of the rebel leaders that retained their dignity (notice Jefferson Davis isn't named for sh*t) as a way to retain their rebelliousness. A reminder that they'll go along, but do need to their viewpoint be heard. Like it or not, it's become their regional identity. Undoing that slowly drives that old wedge back into place.

So I got 2 votes for kill all the Confederates.

I look at it as a reminder that these two folks were highly revered by the very people that used to live there, yet were on the completely wrong side of history. It sheds some light on the complex issue of undoing a messy countrywide divorce, and gives some grace to people that made the wrong choice politically. Your civil war "final solution" would have just given you Civil War 2, Electric Boogaloo, and Civil War 3, Use your illusion I & II. Was he a citizen of the US before & after?

But why did they build statues to the losers to begin with? Makes you wonder, eh? Maybe it was because of the complexities of a civil war and the reconstruction afterwards? Your answer in 1865 would have been extermination of all rebels, right?

Despite Roundboot's wails, the south will rise again. You may need to gather your men and do another Sherman's March to the Sea to correct this miscarriage of justice. I believe in you.

7 years later... The majority of stalkers have severe personality disorders. The most common one among stalkers is narcissistic personality disorder, which gives stalkers an exaggerated feeling of self-worth and an obsessive desire for other people to admire and revere them. Extreme dependence, in which a person needs constant help, attention, and acceptance from others, and borderline personality disorder, in which a person has unpredictable emotions and a high sensitivity to rejection and abandonment, are two more personality disorders that experts often see in stalkers. Pick one.

Now replace DEI with the climate cult. I fear the science behind it is corrupted to the core.

It's the Blue Bloods, man!

Reverting to the oldest anti-semitic trope - "whacha doin Rabbi"??? Odd times we live in.

His point is the deep state GQP planned and executed this with Tom Selleck funded agitators. Duh.

This is where I diverge from Uncle Festerman - as a beneficiary of gender affirming care via synthetic testosterone, I'd be down for some test tube baby cow meat.

That Charlton Heston movie really stuck with the masses, eh?

Culturally middle of the road stances. All I ask for.

I echo Fetterman's last part of his position - "go talk to someone else". It doesn't look like his home, but maybe throw in a "get off my lawn" for fun next time too. I like to see all his positions on the hot topics. Currently, this dude might be the most qualified human for the Presidency of the US&As.

Nothing PG13 or less. Back on topic, drove by last weekend and there is lots of steel taking shape. They'll probably be finished by this Friday.

Was the PSL thread quietly deleted during the draft hubub?

I have a feeling a lot of these so called "fitness influencers" on the Gramtoks are guilty of the same BS.

I need a new pillow.

This Vance may be winning, but it feels like losing. The GOP bullpen is a mess.

It’s a politically poor example of making a hard decision; who advises these people? Self inflicted wound, and a CLM (career limiting move).

The same username as before. I was around in 2010-2020. Covid crazies drove me away from here. Now I'm back like Shady or herpies - take your pick.

The sickle & hammer gets me every time. I wish they'd use the Hippity Hoppity Abolish Private Property frog too.
