Plus, the story is beautiful. Human fear and heart break, and the best part? Jesus utterly and completely forgave Peter, and allowed him to be a strong voice for the Church. So there is hope for a sinner like me.

Peter replied, "Even if all fall away on account of you, I never will."
"I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "This very night, before the
rooster crows, you will disown me three times." But Peter declared,
"Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you." And all the
other disciples said the same

Unsurprisingly it was extremely short on substance and big on sliming.
One of his victims was Higgins, the fired Trump loyalist. He said Higgins memo was full of tin-foil conspiracies.
So I read the memo. Turns out Higgins is spot on which is clearly why he was fired. He has an excellent grasp of who is doing what and why. Either Dunnitz does not, or he's just a POS.

There are two roads. Two choices. One Jesus.

Once those statues came down, crime fell to 0% in black neighborhoods.
Literacy rates among black rose to 100%.
Every black person in America now has a job.
Every black child now comes from an intact family with a mother and father in the same household.
Substance abuse among blacks has been totally eradicated.
You see, none of those problems were their fault.
It was all the fault of some statues.

I think he's traditionally depicted that way. Naturally the Gospels weren't meant to be forensic police reports, and people abhor a vacuum, so over time lots of extra-Biblical stuff crept into Christianity. That's how the "3" anonymous wise men got names. As long as it's not heretical, it's probably harmless.

The placing of monuments is not done lightly, the removal should be undertaken with far more seriousness yet, because they *are* history. To place monuments at risk to transient follies of a single elected administration is the height of foolishness - because those who would like a monument to remain most then win *every* battle. To destroy, enemies would have to win only once. That is a rejection of republican principle in the guise of endorsement, because it grants the destructor a disproportionate power.
A history book can lie, a history book can lie about a monument, and even a monument can lie - but the lies of the first two can change. The last is a snapshot of another time and therefore not subject to what we would later choose to believe of ourselves - for good or ill.
In short, only an ignoramus would endorse the right of a town council to deface at will.

makes it clear what they can do with their freakin' demands.

.And that's why I couldn't be President. I don't have filters and I would let it all hang out.
I would bring up everything about Human Rights abuses of muslim Countries, from tossing gays off roof tops to female genital mutilation (notice how that is 100% gone from the media now?). Then I would get started with the Slavery that exists right now in Saudi Arabia and other muslim and African Countries.
I would hit the Chinese also, one child my A$$. and I would call out the Middle East and demand they take care of their own problems without sending millions of young able bodied men as refugees to Europe and other places when they should be given guns and told to take care of their own business at home where you left your wife and 8 kids because it is so dangerous.
Don't get me started.......

Interesting interview, completely ignored by all other media because the statue of a confederate general who died over 145 years ago is a major civil rights issue.
Never mind that said general fought for the US government in the Mexican American War, was considered one of the best graduates ever from West Point, had a barracks built and named for him at West Point in1962, and was a big supporter of Andrew Jackson's reconstruction and reintergration of the south and confederate soldiers back into the newly reunited USA.
He was an engineer who helped do engineering work such as mapping out harbors in St. Louis and delineating the state line between Ohio and Michigan.
After the war, he lost his plantation at Arlington and the right to vote. Despite this , he became president of Washington University in Charlottesville, now known (for at least a few more days) as Washington and Lee university, where he is buried(And I'm sure there is talk of disinterring him)
There is a quote in which he said he did not believe that blacks should be given "special rights and privileges" to make up for slavery because in his opinion, blacks and whites were friendly before the war and after and to elevate them would destroy that. He was working to unite all Americans.
And he is once again fighting racists, carpetbaggers , and divisionists from the north.

Poles-the Polish are unbelievably devout. Churches-Catholic, Orthodox, and the two Protestant ones in Warsaw- are full over the weekend, and during the week. Holy days are national holidays, and everything closes. At Christmas, the malls are full of young girls dressed as angels selling oplatki-the wafer Polish families share on Christmas eve to foreshadow the Eucharist, and all the money goes to orphanages. There was a convent and monastery near our home, and we saw the novitiates every day, and they were lovely.
I hope Italy is the same, because that gives me hope that the Faith will remain, and gain strength. When the world gets bad, we will need it.

You are correct in that it is located in Lexington, not Charlottesville.
I disagree there is no risk. Our current climate in this country points to a risk to everything not Marxist. Particularly since it's a college.
The vast majority of government officials have no honor nor morals. And that has begun to show up in the military. The commander of the Coast Guard and now the Navy have come out in defiance of the President's EO regarding transgenders.
With absolutely no fear of repercussions, such as a court martial.
So I wouldn't rest too easy on VMI being some kind of savior , as all of the institutions have been infiltrated by the Marxists.

And Haym Solomon, a Polish-Jew- financed the American Revolutionary war. Without him, Washington couldn't have kept going, and we would have remained under British rule.
Taddeus Kosciuszkco was a Polish military officer who read the Declaration of Independence, and contacted Jefferson to discuss it. They became close friends and correspondents. He helped design the defenses for the Battle of Saratoga.

I'd rate Elton John as a borderline great artist. At least up until the early 80s, and as long as he was writing with Bernie Taupin. After that, bleh.
Jackson and Joel, no argument there. Take away 5 songs and they're forgettable.
Have a friend who hates Billy Joel with the heat of 1000 suns. Because as he puts it, Joel's songs are all about how he's better than the other characters in his songs, and incidentally, better than his own audience. I don't have the patience to weed through Joel's lyrics to see if it's true or not.

Poland is a tough one for me. I am Jewish, and anti-Semitism in Poland has a long and bloody history.
But today they are on the front lines of the fight for freedom in this world, and I think that their traditional Jew-hate is easing significantly. When I see Poland in the news it is always positive (maybe not for the NY Times, but for me).
And I have read in more than a few places that their army is a tough bunch who fight well and bravely.

Well, that's definitely true of Piano Man. To the point of someone in the song asking him why he's there, because he's not a lonely loser like everybody else - and the answer is also in the song: he's there because he's just so great and spreading his Joelic Mercy in the form of his music.
For which, people actually seem to be nearly worshipping him.
Inasmuch as people identify with the "9 o'clock on a Saturday(?)" crowd in the song, they are in that "worship me and I shall grant thee my blessings" category by default.

The snark about Arlington Cemetery - the reason why it is our national cemetery is that the United States seized it and made it a cemetery - they planted Lee's son right in the front yard.
Seriously - too many people are trying to play along with the media narrative and prop up a bunch of Nazis and thus stain themselves with their ick.

And let's be clear on this. Earlier in his career, when Elton was working with Bernie Taupin, they wrote some fine songs that are still listenable today. Sometime around... I suppose the late 70s (?) though, it all turned insipid and horrifyingly painful to hear.
Billy Joel has always been horrifying painful to the ears. Nothing redeeming about his work. None of it.
Posted by: BurtTC at August 15, 2017 11:13 AM (TOk1P)
It's not about destroying it, it's about blurring it around the edges. To remove any idea of nobility in those who were defeated, to smudge away nuance, and to claim the right to control that history entirely at will and without challenge. To change it from a complex and knotty problem that our country overcame to a one-sentence partly-redressed grievance.
As to throwing in one's lot with Nazis, you have the cart before the horse. Most resistance to defacement has good guys involved, and this protest had Nazis stapled onto it to drive away the legitimate, not vice versa. It worked, other orgs left. The media (and bought and paid for Nazis?) wish to tar monument defense with nazism, and shying away from legitimate argument plays into their hands.

All that is happening is some cities which had virtually no connection to Confederate figures are looking at statues erected in the 20s and going "wait, why?" - and I think that's perfectly fine for them to ask. Baltimore, Charlottesville - these aren't areas strongly linked to Lee or Jackson. This ain't the end of the world (or cultural Marxism as someone claimed earlier). And it ain't erasing history.

It was reported that prior to the run-up of OCare the WH talked with AARP, insurance giants and pharma about using their funds to promote the program in return for the "guaranteed" profits. The reporting I read said that the main Pharma companies were told their profits would be "guaranteed" by sales, enrollment and subsidies but capped at 5 Billion per annum if they played ball. I remember AARP went all out with 20-25 million in advertisements and some pharmas did the same.

This is something that demands nuance. I'd agree with you that at the moment, there's no cause to leave. We won in November, and we are opposed by a smaller number of a**holes who unfortunately occupy influential positions. I haven't given up hope yet.
But remember that scene in Being John Malkovich in which he entered his own head and everyone looked like John Malkovich? What if everyone was Barack Obama? I'd want to leave then, and history has no bearing on that.
To use an illustration from the NT (since that is the art today), remember how the disciples obsessed on the Temple, on their history - they wanted a temporal king to restore their glory. Jesus said, "no - it's all going to be destroyed". If I see that happening here, I'm not going to deny it just because of our past.
