  1. I got a hernia building Stonehenge.
  2. I thought the premise that I'm talking about American ethnic pride could be assumed. Someone in Mexico proud of their country, heritage, and polite culture is national pride. Pride in being Texan for similar reasons is state pride. They don't fall under the definition of ethnic pride. Arguably when a pale gringo like me goes to Mexico, I'm the ethnic one not the natives. I was specific even if, evidently, unclear.
  3. He doesn't care, and he doesn't need to. The sophistry is strong enough. It won't be questioned as to validity; it's valid because he said. Ipse dixit. It actually only speaks two words: Free Country. No one denies the impact of the Civil War on Black History. Move all those confederate general statues there. Tha fuck?
  4. Ethnic pride is pretty idiotic. Black pride got started because the Black population had been denigrated and oppressed for so long that many longed to be anything but Black. Black Pride was a remedy for a real problem and did lot of good. White pride or Asian pride or Irish pride (other than as whimsy) do not equate. With every good occurence, stupid occurences follow.
  5. That critic is seeing what I'm seeing. Anderson is young. He can learn. Or he can rest on his impressive laurels.
  6. I think Elko must think that the army is still conscripting soldiers. Hell, who knows, maybe the fake army is drafting on campus @Fondren & Main beat me to this, but it will likely be a replay of QBU's crown jewels (McMurray & Allen & King) going elsewhere to play well.
  7. It's particularly amusing that they think turning out tens of thousands of Aggie grads proud of being 2%ers will make the world red-ass.
  8. The shoes thing happens in Friday Night Lights. It was moving there because he returns to the quiet empty stadium to do it. It's not a performance for the masses.
  9. He was a great president. He is a good man. I wish that all goes as well as is possible, Joe Biden.
  10. Yep. That's totally different perspective than Incredulity spiking the ball. It was a devastating move. It impacted the election. Still, a large majority, according the votiing machines, shows a public embracing the vile. Or acquiescing to it. Sometimes you call a play that's a disaster. It bears analysis. What is forgotten is that there may have been no effective play to call, only options that still failed. So, in this case, you get wicked brainwashees (to change metaphors) celebrating a murderer because the cops and DA couldn't find a way to convict him or only managed to convict him for an unregistered firearm. Detachment has helped me digest this. It's a hateful pill.
  11. The nodule would make a better president than Trump or you. By the way, how did you view Reagan's clear decline while in office? I know it's not as big a deal as not recognizing a famous movie star. You must have gone bonkers! Thanks for destroying my republic. Don't walk in front of any jet engines.
  12. To be clear, Señor Obtuse, a Biden at half ability supported by a competent staff that cares about the republic is infinitely better than a fucking idiot* supported by totalitarianists dismembering the republic. How bad is it? I'd prefer you as president and it's not close. Well done, fascist. ETA: Also, to be clear, I didn't realize how far the thread had advanced prior to posting. *As described by his first secretary of state.
  13. Looks like Sark is thinking, "what the hell are the Aggies doing on here?"
  14. Yes, but that was before Arkansas swept us. Don't you get it?
  15. Yea, but we got swept by Arkansas which proves that the Aggies, when they're not pressing too hard, are better than us. Common opponent record trumps all, and you can choos which one is definitive! Advantage Aggie
  16. I just don't see tweaking the "message" stems the flow of people wanting to vote for a lying, scamming, raping liar for president. To borrow from Stone's really excellent movie, Nixon, the president stands before the portrait of JFK and says: They look at Kennedy and see who they want to be. They look at me and see who they are. There was some aspiration to the idealized symbol of JFK to accompany the bad aspects of Nixon. Now, you can conjoin the sentences for Trump looking lovingly at his own portrait, they look at me and see who they are and who they want to be. The voters have either spoken or acquiesced. They're redefining USA. There's every reason to think that the successor to Trump might be exactly like him. That seems to be the aim of some posters here.
  17. No. I meant what I wrote. I may be wrong, but never disingenuous. To suggest so is insulting. I mean, if you have a solid grasp of the word's meaning. The millions of droplets you claim are on the internet do not a tsunami make. Alarmists would have us believe otherwise. I'm done. Any more responses would be merely redundant. I conclude that you're an amateur operative working for something I despise.
  18. I've got to say that reaching back 50 years to tie this century's version of woke to the vedy scairy Black activism of the last century smells even more of Limbaugh's delightfully rotting carcass. I'll agree that the current use of "woke," which is more of an attitude than a movement as the fascists claim, does emerge from the Floyd murder/BLM but you overlook the power of Me Too. I'm a little woke and working on being woker. I don't receive a newsletter from some illusory movement. I know of no organization although I'm sure you can comb the internet and find some woke group somewhere that's about as significant as your other evidence. Your study of wokism and embrace of the Trumpist dogma claiming the "Wokies are coming! The Wokies are coming!" makes your intentions suspect to me. Maybe you're adopting that terminology in reference to what the fascists are doing, but your statements seem declarative. You need to believe in a toxic Woke movement as much as the Trumpists need to use that illusion of one to scare voters. They put the phobia in homophobia by painting all of them as predators interested only in sexual gratification. Some of them actually teach your kids!
  19. I just came to check in. My opinion about paradigm shift means I likely don't add much value to the thread. However, I did browse linux examples of supposed representation of the toxic "wokies." One is phone video of a woman I don't know screaming at a man I don't know due to an overaction to a word used in an inane conversation. linux presents another one above. He rants Like his first example of woke-ism, the article from a reputable source that never uses the word "woke," he shares another highly influencial public announcement. Just gaze in awe at how it spread like wildfire to rouse the loathing of whoever linux is talking about. Are you a Limbaugh clone? This was his main technique. Somebody nobody knows or cares about said some crazy shit about how there should be armed negroes at every polling place! The guy's a registered Democrat. Folks, this is what we're up against. Liberalism seeks to turn you all to dependents of the state lorded over by thugs with guns on every corner! You seem to be hunting outrage to generate fear. You say "us" when you mean democrats. I know you're talking strategy to gain power rather than philosophy. That seems to be the way the GOP got where it is today. This will be especially true if we shun the targets of fascist Trumpism which would amount to acquiescence to whatever fate the fascists subject them to. That's capitulation IMHO. I won't be a party to that. The Dems will have diminished what distinguishes us. Should that happen, I'll be like the refugee conservatives on these threads. I'll have no home.
