21 I visited the American Hall of Fame yesterday at what used to be NYU's science and engineering campus in The Bronx. It's a remarkable place and has sculptured busts of notable Americans. It used to be a big deal, and could and should be again.

Andy Cuomo just had the busts of Lee and Stonewall Jackson removed. Sure enough they'e been cut from their pedestals and the plaques removed. Lee and Stonewall used to face off from US Grant.

Will Andrew Jackson survive?

What about Matthew Maury, a pioneering oceanographer who quit the US Navy to join in with the Confederates. He also has the sin of questioning the modern science of Climate Change before it was even a thing.

To add to the injury Andy is naming the new Tappan Zee Bridge the "Cuomo Bridge" after his father.

59 It takes me on a tangent and reminds me of the occasional search for a black Confederate soldier. "If blacks fought willingly for the Confederacy, then it wasn't about slavery!"

Or wasn't *wholly* about slavery, or attests that some free blacks didn't draw the sharp line that people with modern sensibilities would expect. Remember the existence of black slaveowners, and also that terratorial allegiances were very strong back then. Picture a black Virginian, considering himself a *Virginian* above else.

In addition, there were those who had been recently freed, and a job was a job. Family lore indicates that an ancestor of mine was given a slave shortly before the war, freed him, and said man then went off to war with him as a valet, in an attack of the "sure, why not"s.

I also know an historian who was curious about the issue, reviewed records last harmonized in maybe the '60s, pulled original references from them, looked up the originals in archive, and found they had been altered. Freedmen reclassified as slaves, because clearly the original listings had been lies. We'll just "fix" that, then, shall we.

It is the policy of your Association to be respectful of all beliefs. The diversity of our neighborhood is our greatest strength and we must honor the many different traditions our neighbors carry with them.

Your Board has been following the recent events in Charlottesville and elsewhere with concern. We are aware that passions often run high, but on this we need to be mindful of all our beliefs, not just those of a few.

For that reason, we urge all residents to refrain from displaying controversial items on their properties, at least until the situation has calmed. Certain flags, emblems, or other iconography has the potential to be a focal point for controversy or, even worse, violent reactions. We don't want that in our neighborhood!

Please be considerate of your neighbors during these troubled times. Thank you for your support.

87 72 Well, my HOA has gotten involved now. For the record, this is a pretty lame neighborhood and no one has the kind of things they're talking about here. The most edgy thing I've ever seen is a Halloween decoration of a skeleton holding a scythe.

It is the policy of your Association to be respectful of all beliefs. The diversity of our neighborhood is our greatest strength and we must honor the many different traditions our neighbors carry with them.

Your Board has been following the recent events in Charlottesville and elsewhere with concern. We are aware that passions often run high, but on this we need to be mindful of all our beliefs, not just those of a few.

For that reason, we urge all residents to refrain from displaying controversial items on their properties, at least until the situation has calmed. Certain flags, emblems, or other iconography has the potential to be a focal point for controversy or, even worse, violent reactions. We don't want that in our neighborhood!

Please be considerate of your neighbors during these troubled times. Thank you for your support.


Yeah. That'll do the trick.

I should ask! Although no one has any of those up either.

Last year I flew my Gadsden flag for Independence Day and the HOA president came by to give me some grief. She seemed honestly unaware that the Gadsden flag predated the US flag. I was going to ask about her LGBTRWS:AUIH flag she was flying, but decided not to.

115 Wow, that's some tasty content, OM. Ace is gonna need to up his game.
***********

With all the monument ripping, road renaming, and in general expulsion of anything that can be considered badthink --

I was wondering just how loud we can get the progs (and Jonah Goldberg, birm) to scream if some lil ole school renamed themselves Trump Elementary School. You could buy stock in duct tape companies, due to its use in reducing exploding heads.

Now, Trump has been on the scene for 8 months now as preezy, and afaik there ain't been one single thing named after him (officially). So let's take a leetle trip down memory lane, shall we?

Just a sampling, from CA:

>Barack Obama Charter School -- Compton, California -- Qued Charter Elementary School renamed after Barack Obama in January 2009
>Barack Obama Global Preparation Academy -- Los Angeles -- Built in mid 2010
>Barack Obama Academy -- Oakland, California -- Alternative Learning Community renamed after Barack Obama in March 2009


There are lots more. Okay, that was fun, now for a tad more fun:

>>Nystalus obamai (Western striolated puffbird), a bird from the Amazon
>>Baracktrema obamai, a blood fluke found in Malaysian turtles
>>Obamadon gracilis, an extinct lizard
>>Paragordius obamai, a parasitic worm from phylum Nematomorpha

This is why I've come to despise the leadership of the Church. When it comes to their own budgets, they are fiscally sane. When it comes to anything else, it's fuck it to all sense and reason.
That includes the carnage created by encouraging mass movements of people, through dodgy means of travel, risk of exploitation, overwhelming the services of the destinations and the resulting rise in crime rates.

It's a statue of a WWI dough boy. My husband commented he wondered how soon some idiot will mistake the dough boy for a confederate soldier and deface it.

We actually didn't see a single confederate statue in any of the several small towns we drove through. I'm sure there are some in the cemeteries.

228 School used to start after Labor Day in our district in IL. The kids would be in class for a total of two days, and then off the rest of the week for Teacher Work Days.

The teachers were also tenured. For elementary school. One of them was video taped for two years straight, getting drunk on vodka in her car near our house during lunch hour. No one could get her fired. She was abusive as all hell to the little boys.

She was finally urged to go into rehab, with the promise her job would be waiting on her.

acknowledging that we are supposed to be amused by the hippie whimsy of a Soviet symbol in the middle of an American city, said that seeing the statue can not help but remind us of the killing and repression Lenin inspired.

291 Pope Francis on Monday urged countries to greatly improve their welcome to migrants and stop collective expulsions, saying migrants dignity and right to protection trumps national security concerns.

So says the man who lives behind a wall
Posted by: Nevergiveup


I think the Pope's problem is that he has no imagination. He is a bear of very little brain. There are other possibilities.

For instance, why not send aid to nations that they came from, when they are sent back there. This would help them out and *eliminate* security concerns, because once migrants are back in their own lands, they will have no *motivation* to commit terrorist attacks. Remember that machete Somali guy at OSU who tried to run people over? He posted stuff on his FB page saying how he hated the US and how mean we all were. Why not send him back to his beloved compatriots in Somalia?

Well, I do not know if there is some exterior event or actor but it is really interesting to consider what is going on besides stupidity. What gap does putting the ship out of commission? Do they leave the gap open? Where do they pull a replacement from? What gap does that create? There are all sorts of people that benefit from having a gap in that area. Was the ship being used for its missile shield capabilities? Was its aegis system upgraded for anti-missile? Was it something to do with the Chinese being pissed about fonops?

315 Another possibility. Why doesn't the Pope encourage people of country X to become missionaries to countries that are the source of migrants rather than insist that country X take them in?

I'm going with lack of trainning because of budget shortfalls.The navy has long known to give merchantmen a wide berth due to their poor seamanship. Combine that with poor seamanship on the part of the navy and you get collisions at sea

That one is super easy.

The general purpose of "missionaries" is to convert people.

But, according to the Pope, Islam is beautiful and non-violent. It would be morally wrong to try to convert them.

If missionaries go over there to ""help stabilize" their society, we are forcing them to accept western values. This is wrong, since western cultures are bad.

So really, the only solution is to bring islam to the west, let it destroy western culture, and then, as is only fair, all whites who are not islamic must work as slaves to support muslims.

399 376 Another possibility. Why doesn't the Pope encourage people of country X
to become missionaries to countries that are the source of migrants
rather than insist that country X take them in? This way, the people who
sincerely wish to help out "migrants" can help them out directly, and
draw their own funds from country X, instead of putting their neighbors
in country X at risk, and getting them to foot the bill? That seems a
bit hypocritical.
---

That one is super easy.

The general purpose of "missionaries" is to convert people.

But, according to the Pope, Islam is beautiful and non-violent. It would be morally wrong to try to convert them.

If missionaries go over there to ""help stabilize" their society, we are forcing them to accept western values. This is wrong, since western cultures are bad.

So really, the only solution is to bring islam to the west, let it destroy western culture, and then, as is only fair, all whites who are not islamic must work as slaves to support muslims.

/not really joking...

412 An alternative was of doing missionary work (and one that seems to have more impact) is to teach and train people from Country X and then have them go back to their own country/culture to do the work traditional missionaries do. They already know the customs, the language, the culture. We're friends of a couple from northern India that are now here for 2 years, getting a condensed theological degree, so that they can go back to their own region as missionaries. It seems a waste of resources to try and teach white Americans to do the job that nationals are better equipped for.

I have no dog in this hunt-I'm not Catholic- but the "warrior for the downtrodden" is the problem. We're supposed to be warriors for Christ and the individual soul is important. Also, it's not optional to do acts of charity and care for people who are needy-because we're all needy in one sense of another at times. It's just not the role of the clergy to advocate for a system where people are forced to care for others.That is the work of the Holy Spirit is the lives of the individuals and working through churches but not forced to do charity by compulsion. Because if it's forced it doesn't come from the heart or from the fruit of the Holy Spirit working within people.

My takeaway is that if whedon admitted to what, five, affairs then he had a helluva lot more than that. Because he's a guy. So that's his limited hangout, as they say.

I also think that underlying the whole article was the ex giving herself a lot of credit for whedons' success.
I don't know if they've settled, or for how much, or Cali's divorce laws. But I do know when someone's grabbing some credit, and the whole thing reads like a money/credit grab, with a little sex tossed in.
Hmmm, mebbe she'll shop the story around? Nah, it H'wood, they look after each other.

==============

You can definitely keep it at a spiritual level and have very strong arguments against enforced charity, but having the economic understanding of how poorly such efforts actually work does help.

Unfortunately, the Church has a long history of being in de facto charge of things, and it's a centralized system itself, so it has a hard time shedding itself of some more medieval outlooks on how economies work.

He's a douche, has always been a douche and will always be one.

I especially liked the part where he says he was raised to be a feminist and to respect women, not to lust after them. Then, a few sentences later he goes on to say he was taught by the culture to womanize. Again, somehow, he was forced by society to fucking cheat on his wife for 15 years.

468 when to a fast food restaurant and had to wait in line. CNN was on the big TV and no one even noticed that all while I was there, CNN headline was how much traveling Trump is doing and depleting the SS budget. I must have waited 15 min, and when I left the same headline was up and the talking heads were going on and on...closed captions which I didn't ever bother to read. Didn't see Russia mentioned once, must be a old news now.

475 I think the quote from Joss's letter to his wife was 'young, needy, aggressive women'. That sounds like actress to me, not staff.

Most staff are made up of people who want to be actors. But I'm discounting the description of the women by the wife, she's not exactly an objective observer. The guy is an overrated jackass anyway, whatever his marital failures.

A housemate in grad school was always ostentatiously "right on" for feminism, virtue signalling at every opportunity, etc. He's continued doing that to this day, and recently won an award for promoting the interests of women.

(record scratch sound) Except in grad school he was a chubby chaser because they were easy marks for a handsome glib playboy, who bonked them and dropped mercilessly like used kleenex. Many was the time we had unattractive girls come to the house blubbing that he wasn't taking their calls and asking us what they'd done wrong. Nothing, sweetheart. He's off at some other unattractive girl's place, and she's thinking she's found HER Prince Charming.

Excellent point.

There seems to be an uncomfortable joining of church and state here.

In the past, there have been refugee quotas.

Refugee organizations, many headed by churches, both nationally and locally, seem to get government money to bring them here.

Once here, it appears that the government then takes care of the refugees.

The children, who cannot speak English, and placed into schools with no records of vaccination and, in some cases, behaviorial problems. Individuals must be assigned to these children, which mean other children, the children of tax payers, get less attention and fewer resources.

Also, money that could be helping local people in poverty, is diverted to refugees who may take years before they contribute to the economy. So... fewer resources for actual americans, and more resources to people who are not american who may or may not ever contribute to the system.

BTW... I'm not advocating ending all refugee programs; I'd rather have sensible ones where people who share our culture, Judeo Christian heritage and speak English are prioritized.

Last thing I paid attention to with him was a few months ago when he said people should share Christ with people of good will, and it should not be their own ideology that they push.

I respected that. I also thought the "goodwill" was a possible indication he realized there are people who will kill you for saying Christ...so maybe steer clear of them.

But I'm not the one that they're sinning against, either. I'm not married to them, either.

Think of drawing a ray from the edge of the sun through the pinhole at an angle to come out the other side. That's why the image is upside down.

The pinhole selects for only a subset of rays; without a pinhole you wouldn't see an image because all of the various rays would overlap each other.

677 @TheJamesMadison, my great-however-many grandfather fought for the Confederacy. In an Indian regiment. In Oklahoma, a territory which (at the time) legally prohibited white men from even entering.

Funny enough, tribes who had been shuffled down the Trail of Tears weren't that eager to support the Union.

Seriously, the Civil War was no more about slavery than any of today's in-fighting is about the Paris Climate Accords or Trump grabbing women's mish. That was simply a topic that two groups who despised each other chose to fight over.

We had a partial eclipse here (Noo Awlins) in 1984. My then-cat, Arizona the red part-Maine Coon, freaked out at the dimness and silence in mid-morning. He ran back and forth between the two living room windows, squeaking and looking frantically at me. "Hey! You're in charge of this kind of thing! Do something!"

The Dred Scott decision of 1852 forced Northern states to hunt down and return runaway slaves. It essentially made the whole country--even the parts opposed to it--parties to the institution.

The Whigs advocated go along and get along, leading to its dissolution and the formation of the Republican Party. Why? Because the Republicans opposed slavery. For a good idea of Republican political thoughts on the matter, read the transcript of Lincoln's Cooper Union address, the speech which made him the GOP nominee.

But hey, by all means, to go on telling us your particular take on history. Fascinating stuff.

Our Navy, which costs us hundreds of billions each year, is so fucking incompetent that they need to "pause operations" while a panel tries to figure out if anyone knows how to drive a boat without ramming into something.

Our Center for Disease Control had no procedures in place and left an Ebola-ridden person in an apartment complex for a week while arguing whose jurisdiction it was.

Our CIA thought it was a "slam dunk" that Saddam had WMD, but didn't have a fucking clue that Kadaffi had a nuclear program up and running.

Great story about a woman who spotted Newman as she was coming out of a ice cream shop in CT. She walked over to him and, trying to act nonchalant, told him she admired his acting and loved him in this or that movie. He said, with those baby blues twinkling, "Thank you, Ma'm, but you're just put your ice cream cone into your purse."

I am sure nobody gets so flustered talking to Whedon that they put ice cream cones in their purse. He's a guy in Hollywood with power - that's why women sleep with him.

And the Northern runaway slave thing is NO DIFFERENT than nuns being forced to pay for abortions, my tax dollars going to Planned Parenthood, or Christian bakers and their gay wedding cakes. Again, the fight at that point would not foundationally be about abortion or gay marriage. It would be over a government (any government) grinding people's nose into actions that they fundamentally disagree with. That runs both ways.

794 773 CaliGirl we're about 7 miles from the beach (can see the ocean, though), so we "burn off" pretty early each day.

It's been spectacular, perfect typical summer weather lately. Morning layer, burns off, hot sun, cool breeze, of course low humidity. If only a raiding party from America could be dispatched to retake this uniquely pleasant place.


Posted by: rhomboid at August 21, 2017 01:42 PM (NDlpU)



Same here. We're about a mile from the ocean. Marine layer typically burns off around 10 am.

I join you in wishing for the raiding party and army of occupation from America.

808 US politics has always been complicated. There could have been solutions about slavery that didn't involve a lot of killing and destruction. They weren't chosen primarily because both sides thought they were obviously right and the other side was obviously wrong. I don't know if Lincoln could have won if he had taken a more reconciliation position. Could Trump have won if he had been more like Jeb-McCain-Romney? The South seceded because Lincoln won. You see the same dynamic with Trump. Unless they can derail the Federal budget Trump wins. All these organizations opposing Trump are funded by the US Government including Soros. Mercenaries.

You commit the fallacy of false comparison. There are myriad qualitative distinctions between, say, the pro-slavery and anti-abortion positions.

And no, I have no problems with Robert E. Lee statues. The descendant of Union veterans, I see such memorials and remembrances as a means of honoring valor and commemorating the dead.

818 121 I think for every confederate statue that gets removed they ought to put up a statue to a Revolutionary War hero.
Posted by: Serious Cat

Why not leave the statue and just change the plaque. Much cheaper and these antifa/BLM dumasses won't know the difference.

Then change the plaques back when they aren't looking.

From an Ozarkian perspective at least, this has been the worst summer for weather predictions I have ever seen.

They've always had trouble getting snow predictions right, but they have been abysmal with the rain predictions this year, it's ridiculous.

You mean like, slaves got to be alive and abortion is outright murder? Like that? (Somehow, I don't think you mean that.)

824 Well, I can say I saw the partial eclipse in SE Michigan. I brought out my old telescope I received as a gift in maybe 8th grade - let's say over 50 years ago and leave it at that. It has a sun filter so I was able to get some good looks at what appeared to be a dark yellow disk with a semi-circle chunk taken out of it. Just around the time of max coverage in my area some clouds moved in. Glad it wasn't sooner.
