Do you acknowledge that fact? I didn’t look it up, he provided no link. I didn’t care as it has absolutely no bearing whatsoever regarding either my post or Mr Bannon Link to comment

Or, and could it be, because it has no bearing whatsoever with my post. If my belief in that statement being true or false had any effect on my post, I would have conceded. As is I accepted the statement as it has no bearing whatsoever with what I posted. What is this the 3rd time you have asked? Link to comment

If anything is “emboldening” them it’s the MSM pushing an agenda And publicizing their every move. It’s the violent socialists “antifa” that violently counter-protest every appearance of any right-wing group that dares to assemble. They all get labeled “Nazis and KKK” face it, were it not for them the KKK and Nazis would still be a small meaningless group of ignorant rednecks that history would have put behind us in 10-15 years. What is divisive is having the liberal elite tell the southern states that they need to strip all memorials to their history. Thankfully President Lincoln had the wisdom to allow them to surrender with a bit of dignity. The rush placed on this meaningless issue had caused the marches and the acrimony Seriously...this reads like the diatribe of a person that needs to see a mental health professional--the paranoia and cognitive dissonance in this post is deafening. Too bad there aren't any healthcare initiatives that would provide easy and cheap access to mental health care... ...and as far as the bit on Lincoln, he had nothing to do with permitting the proliferation of memorials to the traitors and vermin that fought for the South in the Civil War. C'mon, this is American History 101. Lincoln caught an acute case of death in the back of his head (at the hands of a conservative political zealot, no less) back in April 1865, during the end stages of the Civil War. The vast majority of memorials to fallen traitors (a.k.a. Confederate memorials to the Snowflake crowd) were installed after the 1890s and coincided with the end of the Reconstruction Era in the South--the same era that begat the Jim Crow laws which prohibited African Americans from voting and encouraged the lynching of these same people. Additional spikes in memorial establishment coincided with the rise of the KKK during the 1910s-1930s, and in retaliation by Southerners to the Brown vs. the Board of Education (1950s-1960s) Civil Rights-era decision to desegregate schools. What is disconcerting is that you claim to "value this country and it’s citizens first and foremost and have dedicated my life, to date, to the protection of both". I have to question whether you truly value this country if you fail to recognize the South for what they truly were--traitors to the United States of America and the oppressors of minorities. The end never justifies the means, and most sane, rational folks would question the values of a self-proclaimed "defender" whose posts suggest that they are morally compromised.

zoogs Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 (edited) Think that was an interesting slip there, scornfully referring to the "adversarial MSM." The phrase 'adversarial press' is often used in American politics, usually (rightfully, to borrow the word of the day) in praise of their critical function in holding government accountable. Also, LOL: "what terrible things has Bannon said?" Edited December 20, 2017 by zoogs Link to comment
