  1. Traitors to the US. I made that very clear. To those who can read. And comprehend, that is. Washington was not a traitor to the US. Lee was. I can't dumb that down any more for you.
  2. Maybe I missed something, but when was Washington a traitor to the US? You see, I'm an American, not a Brit. You seem confused about that? I don't think you made the point that you think you did.
  3. My guess is that the fans of Lee (and other confeds) are from the south (deep south, probably) or have strong ties to that region. I'm just not a fan of the deep south. From the pseudo-intellectual (imo) argument using states' rights to justify slavery (and to basically lie about the reason for the civil war- states' rights! not about slavery!) yeah, fuck that, to holding on to the idea that the south was some sort of genteel, noble region. I'm not a fan of the southern baptist church, either. And the current state of the deep south doesn't help matters: still virulently racist in a lot of parts, ignorant, clinging to god and guns. I know a guy who went to VMI a long time ago and they practically worshiped Lee. And Trump has emboldened those dipshits. In a way, that's good b/c we can see who they really are. I'm glad to see that the USMC is prohibiting display of the confed flag (loser laundry). Did Lee do the noble thing by being a leader for the group that wanted to rip apart the US? The noble thing, imo, would have been for him to defend the Union. He was a traitor. He was, of course, a lot more than that. But he was a traitor. I'm not sorry if his statues are coming down.
  4. If that helps you sleep at night, then go for it. I get it, you and others find Lee to be a noble character. And maybe he was. My point is that he was a noble traitor to his country. I'm not a fan of traitors. You are. Is that black and white enough for ya?
  5. Yeah, and there are some who say good things about mafia dons, too. They look after their neighborhood, they help the widows and orphans. Lee was a traitor to America. As such, I cannot call myself a fan of his.
  6. Something about the moral aspect of slavery escaping you?
  7. One thing, Trump is probably very niggardly with his hambergers.
  8. The only people who are more of a gutless motherfucker than the GOP senate are those voters who won't hold Trump or the senate to account.
  9. Elderly. Don't forget elderly.
  10. Will never ever happen, but Mitt Romney.
  11. Wow. College edumacated white men are stupid.
  12. Romney, a Mormon, is by far the most christian of them all. Suck on that you evangelical fucktards.
  13. Yep. Keep riding that horse.
  14. A more appropriate location? Where would that be? A landfill? Sewage treatment plant? A newly created avenue dedicated to traitors called Racists Row? Fuck the (deep) south and all their whiny claims of "state rights".
  15. I don't think that removing a statue in any way whitewashes history, but I could be in the minority on that view. Being originally from up north, I never understood the attachment that some southerners have for lauding traitors to the United States of America.
  16. Here's an interview Anne Applebaum had with Dave Davies on Fresh Air. Worth a listen/read. https://www.npr.org/2020/06/04/869722081/journalist-explains-why-republican-leaders-back-trumps-proto-authoritarian-cult
  17. Are you paying for it? Or is that part of the complexity?
  18. Thought this was a Chronicles of Riddick thread at first. You keep what you kill. But anybody who looks at these pics just cannot be a vegetarian. Life's too short for that shit. And yeah, I get it.
  19. Houston deserves a better team than this, and by that I mean owner and coach/gm. BoB is a fucking clown.
  20. I didn't specify tonight, but you do you. So for those who have enough snap to realize that we can't go out for now, is/was the place worth it?
  21. The mexican place in Austin? Worth it?
  22. Thanks for the Tri-Eagle comments. They look pretty good. I know someone who uses energy ogre. They have really bad reviews.
  23. SOME old people have wisdom. Not all. Far too many are clowns. If you're gonna impose an age limit (upper end) on POTUS then apply it to voters as well.
  24. Here's your answer: it's actually justice. Just because it also makes you feel better doesn't mean it's not justice.
  25. Seems like a humble brag thread.
