So, Arthur Schlesinger was a traitor, too? Tucker Carlson is a communist tool. He’s the traitor in my book.

What unfortunate souls?

Laying out info that suggests validity to some of what the mis-named critical race theory tries to address.

What is your point? The federal government instituted discriminatory housing policies with creation of both the FHA and GI bill. That is factual history.

I agree, Smash. That’s why it is incumbent upon responsible citizens to check sources and read from different points of view before forming their own opinions. Don’t believe it just because so-and-so said it.

So, just ignore the facts concerning the creation of the FHA and GI bill, which systematically discriminated against black citizens and veterans with their various red lining strategies? The deed covenants that forbid resales of homes in many developments to “ non Caucasian” individuals? The greatest contributor to middle class wealth accumulation in our history was denied the African American community until after the Don’t talk about it and it’ll go away? I don’t think so.

Did you read the article? It says “rarely”. Anecdotal evidence is the antithesis is statistical data. Accept it at your own peril. Get vaccinated.

Ya’ll haven’t been listening to your heroes scold those nasty corporations for talking ugly about their voter suppression efforts? Not surprised.

Corporations are undermining Conservative values. How dare they! What areLittle Marco and Lyin’ Ted to do? I know! Show those corporate dirtbags a thing or two. Raise that minimum wage to $15.00 for 1000 employees and over. Yeah, and bump their tax rate up to 30 or 40%. Oh yeah, turn those labor unions loose on them. That’ll teach ‘em a lesson! Nah, they’ll just try to limit their speech, don’t let them have opinions. They’re not people. Oops, Supreme Court declared they are in Citizens United case! The more they twist, the crazier they get. I wouldn’t challenge a one of them to a game of Twister. How can you beat someone who’s willing to turn themselves inside out to keep Donald Trump off their tuckus? Absolute lunacy. The corner they’re painting in keeps getting smaller and smaller. What ya’ll gonna do without Rush? Looking like the Scare Crow in Wizard of Oz more and every day. Peace.

What are you going to do when your beloved Supreme Court does not strike down Roe v Wade? They may allow some restrictions, but I’ll bet a hundred dollars it won’t be overturned. Who you gonna hate on then?

First time I’ve been here in a while. Very sorry to learn of his passing. He was a worthy opponent, and will be missed. My condolences to his family and friends.

Uh....how about restore dignity and competence to the Executive Branch. How about pledging to fight the onerous voter suppression laws that Repubes seem to think are only needed in the states they lost, excepting Texas, of course, run by an entirely different set of thieves? How about a vigorous COVID response? How about a relief plan that I am sure will put thousands in the pockets of most folks posting here? Anyone sending theirs back? How about turning back environmental orders issued by the most environmentally hostile Administration in history? How about appointing an attorney general that will not spend all his time wiping his President’s butt, but aggressively prosecute the insurrectionists who invaded our Capital on January 6? How about responding at the border with compassion, not cruelty? I’ll leave it there for now. Perhaps the lack of liberal response is an indication that your tired, worn out retread Trump lies are losing steam.

What do the non-vet homeless deserve?

No you don’t. You were told everything you just listed. None of it is true. Ignorance is bliss. Why shouldn’t you sleep well at night?

It’s national ethos I’m talking about. The present is always the culmination of all moments leading to it. I have friends who, at ten, twelve years old would say “I hate n*****s”. They were taught that by their parents and so on back for centuries. That sort of indoctrination does not disappear in a generation or two. It doesn’t disappear without societal intention, and sadly that intention is not prevalent in this country. You can argue the validity of the argument, but you can’t argue the history with any integrity.

DOJ and FBI are on the trail of treason. The trail Trump blazed sending his followers to do his dirty work. Did you really think he was going to walk down to the Capitol with them? P.T. Barnum was a rookie compared to trump.

Where’d you hear that? The same place that “many people have said”? Or maybe, “many people have heard”? Or maybe the place where “many people have heard that many people have said”? Just tryin’ too keep my facts straight.

It’s being done according to the Constitution, sir. A Senate trial and a trial under the criminal justice system are two distinctly different things. Your conflation of the two is disingenuous.

Look pal, I have had conversations with white educators in the Silsbee ISD, now gone but leaders nonetheless who laughed at the way they used to send the worn out athletic gear and outdated books to Waldo when “whitey” was through using them up. This was AFTER separate but equal was established.You can run from it ever how you want to, but you can’t hide from the truth. The history of slavery in this country is the prime mover in why race relations are still so retarded today. Until we answer for the sins of our fathers the curse will remain.

You really need to familiarize yourself with Occam’s Razor. The straightest line is almost always the correct one.

Oh, I guess three or so centuries being denied the right to own property, much less even to contract to rent it, has nothing to do with a society’s stereotyping. Being denied the right to learn to read for three or so centuries has nothing to do with today’s educational gaps. I could go on. We ignore the past at our peril. People of all stripes tend to do better when presented with opportunities for rather than obstacles to progress.

No. The request show initiate with the voter. Why they request is not the state’s business.

No, it’s not. You track it just like an absentee ballot. The overwhelming majority of Americans do not want to chance jail by casting fraudulent votes. I didn’t lose faith in the integrity of the vote after Bush/Gore.

Disagree. Been working pills for 40 years. The system is good, not perfect, but best in the world.

Lemme tell you something about me. When Al Gore lost, I didn’t give a gol darn about Florida because Al lost his home state. Win Tennessee, Florida doesn’t matter. Shame on him. Elections are safe in this country. Losers aren’t always happy, but classy ones accept it and move on. Kerry and Clinton both conceded within 24 hours of the polls closing. Trump has the opposite of class, whatever that is. Georgia was recounted twice, one of them an audit. There is no excuse for this election not to have been conceded other than naked political ambition at the cost of Constitutional values. Want me to slither back under my rock now?
