As Trump Predicted: Pastor Demands George Washington Statue Be Removed; Flashback: Leftists Demand Teddy Roosevelt Statue Be Destroyed
George Washington owned slaves -- and that's all he did.
A Chicago pastor has asked the Emanuel administration to remove the names of two presidents who owned slaves from parks on the South Side, saying the city should not honor slave owners in black communities. A bronze statue of George Washington on horseback stands at the corner of 51st and King Drive, at the northwest entrance to Washington Park. Bishop James Dukes, pastor of Liberation Christian Center, said he wants the statue gone, and he wants George Washington’s name removed from the park. “When I see that, I see a person who fought for the liberties, and I see people that fought for the justice and freedom of white America, because at that moment, we were still chattel slavery, and was three-fifths of humans,” he said. “Some people out here ask me, say ‘Well, you know, he taught his slaves to read.’ That’s almost sad; the equivalent of someone who kidnaps you, that you gave them something to eat.”This story is from last year, but goes with the new one: Leftist activist demand that New York Natural History Museum take down the statue of Teddy Roosevelt, a "racist." BTW, I'm pretty sure Teddy Roosevelt's statue is there because he founded the museum. Here's another flashback, this one to 2015:
Dukes said, even though Washington was the nation’s first president and led the American army in the Revolutionary War, he’s no hero to the black community. “There’s no way plausible that we would even think that they would erect a Malcolm X statue in Mount Greenwood, Lincoln Park, or any of that. Not that say Malcolm X was a bad guy; they just would not go for it,” he said. “Native Americans would not even think about putting up a Custer statue, because of the atrocities that he plagued upon Native Americans. And for them to say to us ‘just accept it’ is actually insulting.”

The goal of the left has been to destroy *ALL* history, and replace it with approved myths.
A lot of the foot-soldiers are nihilistic assholes who just want to bully and destroy because it makes them feel powerful. They don't care about the cause, as long as they are on the winning side. My liberal mother asked me what I thought of Trump's press conference and I told her I loved it. I explained Ace's concept of the McGuffinization of Politics and how the Left cares about being the hero of the story, not about the actual policies. She said, "But isn't that what Trump is doing when he says that he wants a bill, any bill, to sign? He wants a victory!" My response, "Yup. And that's why we love him. He understands how to fight and how to change the narrative. We're sick of the establishment types who love to get into the minutiae but can't actually win anything."

This truly is a case of if you can't appreciate George Washington "for the justice and freedom of white America", then you really should think about moving to Africa.
Yes, white people (in the South) hoarded those blessings mostly to themselves, but they were rightly expanded to black Americans, as they should have been.
If Americans never took slaves, there would have been little need to import Africans.

You know, both during and since the 2012 elections, I have felt somewhat ashamed that I was known to refer to Mitt Romney as a duplicitous motherfucker when it came to political matters. I even wandered into the Mitt Romney may be the most decent person to run for President in at least modern times, if not ever.
So. I'm a fool.

I do appreciate, however, that the existential question as to why the GOP never would defend the base when the base was being called racist being clearly answered. So that's nice.

The biggest political divide we have is rural v. urban, with suburbs jump ball.
The Charlottesville thing is an example of a D-dominated out-of-control municipal government suddenly believing that it must do political shit bigger than running the schools and picking up the trash.
This is also how the Trannies in the Bathroom thing started, with NC and TX being forced to step in because of actions by Charlotte and Houston.
If you want to see a cold civil war it'll be along these fault lines, as some cities collapse in a death spiral of increasing crime and broken budgets. Many, many Detroits. No bailouts!

There was an awesome comment once made by a Soviet analyst/historian, referring to the very chilling practice of Soviet regimes "changing" history to suit their needs, once a particular group of thugs had gained power, succeeding the prior ones.
"The Soviet Union is the only country where the past is unpredictable"
It's sickening to see just how un-special the US, now, really is.
And if my disgust builds any more I'll repeat my amazingly on-topic anecdote, involving precisely this special difference between the US and the USSR/Russia, from decades ago.

The makers of "Dunkirk" just called in to remind us all that, like the criticisms directed at them so recently by the insane left, they'd like to point out that Islam countenances slave ownership right now, and always has, and that Jefferson spent years buying American sailors out of Islamic slavery.
So maybe Pastor James Dukes should focus his ire at Louis Farrakhan first, before criticizing GW.
I personally love to watch crazy-on-crazy fights over historical questions neither party has the faintest idea how to address.

Incidentally, Gen. Custer is a hero where I grew up, which is the Crow Reservation in Montana. He died protecting the Crow/Apsalooka from the Lakota who had been trying to take their lands for generations. Many Crow warriors fought with Custer and had complete autonomy, as witnessed by the fact that they were free not to ride into the trap at the Little Bighorn. Too bad he didn't follow their example.

Native Americans would not even think about putting up a Custer statue
***
So this is an odd comparison. Custer was a failed US general that died fighting against a group of Indian tribes.
Washington wasn't fighting against black Americans...he was fighting against the British, under whom slavery was legal.
But this does bring up an interesting point...if American Indians are supposed to be offended by Custer...would that mean that we should tear down any statues of Lincoln and Grant in any southern states?

I am not my cunt. My entire life does not revolve around whom I fuck or who will fuck me. My tits are not relevant only to the extent that they may turn on me and give me cancer and kill me. Oh and speaking of cancer, and fuck cancer with the Warcock outfitted with a flaming cougar condom, cancer is not a motherfucking political issue you worthless pieces of shit who are turning it to such. My value as a person is not my vagina. I am not a mewling quim who is in desperate need of Daddy to take care of me because I am too feeble minded and weak to do so myself. I am not a talking gash who exists solely to be manipulated by being threatened that oh noes the Republicans hate my lady parts by the same party that is, as a practical matter, enforcing blasphemy laws on behalf of a religion that will cut off my clitoris. Let's not mention cutting off my head because I have the temerity to appreciate other ladies' lady parts.
Every single Democrat who believes that the only thing I value as a woman is abortion needs to be punched in the face by me. Fuck you. Fuck you sideways with a pineapple. It's shockingly sexist and pathetic and disgusting.

That's a good point too. The American Indians were grouped into tribes that made war on each other - just like everywhere else in the world.
Pretending that they were all one united group is...wrong.
Hell, the reason Cortez conquered Mexico is that the tribes the Aztecs dominated would rather give Cortez their gold then Montezuma their people for human sacrifice...

like not letting the police stand down.
Also, they have to account for the US Constitution, which they swore to defend, has enabled even N@@@@zis the right to gather.

One might consider that after they destroy the memorials they might set about destroying other bits of Confederate and/or founders' history in museums or private collections, etc. Trump was right to ask "Where does it end?"

When we warned about the logical conclusions of leftist thinking 30 years ago, we were told that we were crazy. It would never go that far. The progressives targeted universities for a reason. We have a group of university-educated people who feel that these beliefs are correct and moral because they lack the capacity for thinking. "Washington owned slaves, so he's bad," is the limit of their cognitive processing. What is amazing is that lack of understanding the prejudice and bigotry are not the problem. These are standard beliefs of humans who were tribal for 97% of human history. What is the problem is when those prejudices are in the law and enforced by the government. A baker is not a threat to gays, but a government that can shut down that bakery is. The KKK wasn't the threat; it was local law enforcement turning a blind eye to the KKK that made the movement effective at intimidating blacks. Similarly gun control laws that were written to keep guns out of black hands were necessary to keep blacks from protecting themselves. Minorities don't need to be tolerated, an incredibly insulting concept that assumes a superior group will put up with them. What makes America the greatest country in history is that the rights of every citizen are recognized as existing outside of state authority, and each of us is an equal inheritor of those rights. The left has a simple goal, divide and conquer. Look at Evergreen if you want to know what the world would look like with the left in power. Conservatives need to fight back with freedom and condemn any group that clamors for identity based rights, black, white, gay, female, etc. There is only one set of rights, and all US citizens have them.

I listened to what Trump said it was a completely, utterly anodyne statement wherein he was attempting to point out that all of this idiocy is being caused by a very very few number of people and that people on both the Left and the Right should not be lumped in with them.
There is nothing, not one single damn thing, that can satisfy people who interpret the question if Robert E. Lee statues must come down about Jefferson and Washington since they owned slaves as OMG TRUMP SAID LEE IS JUST LIKE JEFFERSON AND WASHINGTON.

They are gonna be in a world of hurt if they really try to erase the civil war.
Because if the Civil War didn't happen, slavery didn't happen.

"159 otoh seems like you could get a deal nowadays on a cool Lee or Stonewall Jackson statue for your homecastle."
The mayor of Hanceville, AL announced that the city would accept donated civil war statues from anywhere in the country. His intention is to place them in a new Memorial Park. That's actually a great idea, because there's not much to do in Hanceville.

Can we get rid of all memorials to people who weren't for gay marriage too. I'm looking at you Rosa "Homophobe" Parks.
Posted by: scofflaw_x
This is an excellent point and one that bears repeating. The left seems to be saying that if this or that famous person had a character flaw, they should not be publically acknowledged in *any* way. So any statues or memorials to them should be torn down.
But *everyone* has character flaws. MLK was an adulterer and a plagiarist. So I guess we need to vandalize and destroy all statues of him as well? Do they really want to go there?

Most GOP Senators and Congressmen are cowards. They don't want to take the heat for telling the truth about the radical, demented left. They just want to keep their comfortable do-nothing positions so they can rake in the cash and pretend they are VIPs. I will shed no tears when the violent left finds shooters with better aim for Congressional softball practices.

#138 with a crucial, and relevant bit of historical reality.
I still recall my favorite all-time PBS "dead air" moment - and FFS this was in an edited, prepared documentary - was when an interviewer asked a descendant of a guide who worked with the 7th Cavalry (Paiute tribe?) why his ancestors cooperated with the US Army.
Guy looked at him with "are you f***ing kidding me??" look.
(paraphrasing) "Because the Lakota had been our enemies forever, taking our lands, killing us, enslaving us"
Of course, 95% of today's America would ask the same idiotic question.

I agree that's the one spot where he screwed up. Since we know that Trump is NOT a Nazi or a Nazi sympathizer, I'm going to interpret what Trump meant. He was trying to make the point that there are a lot of "fine people" who don't want to see statues and monuments taken down and don't want to see history erased. I don't know that there were many--if any--of those people at the march, but I'm pretty sure that's what he meant.

Eugenics racist supreme Margaret Sanger needs all PP clinics named after her torn down. Include the PP honors given to Hillary Clinton.
This is the left's alter to which they bow:
In The Pivot of Civilization, Sanger called African-Americans and immigrants "human weeds [and] reckless breeders, spawning... human beings who never should have been born." In Birth Control in America: The Career of Margaret Sanger, author David Kennedy wrote that in a 1923 speech, Sanger said couples who chose sterilization for the purpose of racial "purification" should be rewarded. One of Sanger's more infamous quotes is her admittance that she wants to "exterminate the Negro population."

There was a pillar and statue of British Admiral Nelson, much like the one later erected in London's Trafalgar Square, which stood in downtown Dublin until it was blown up by the IRA in 1966. Before then, there had been lots of talk of taking it down. The likes of Joyce and Yeats defended keeping it up.
I believe Dublin poorer for this loss -- over a third of the sailors at the Battle of Trafalgar were Irish.
It's since been replaced by the Spire of Dublin -- "The Stiffy at the Liffey" / "The Stiletto in the Ghetto"

Yes there are. Feed their families. Go to Church. See all the death and destruction handed out by people who would starve to death if it wasn't for Christian Society.
Are there good people among black supremacist? Don't know. My unsupported belief is that all black supremacist are being supported by federal subsidies.

This is the left's alter to which they bow:
In The Pivot of Civilization, Sanger called African-Americans and immigrants "human weeds [and] reckless breeders, spawning... human beings who never should have been born." In Birth Control in America: The Career of Margaret Sanger, author David Kennedy wrote that in a 1923 speech, Sanger said couples who chose sterilization for the purpose of racial "purification" should be rewarded. One of Sanger's more infamous quotes is her admittance that she wants to "exterminate the Negro population."

Old Abe was a white supremacist, so clearly there's no good reason to keep him around.
There won't be anybody -- or at least anybody white -- who can pass the left's moral purity test.

Jewels45, please listen to Trump's entire press conference yesterday. He said normal people having nothing to do with antifa, blm, nazis & white supremacists were there to protest the removal of statues & the attempt to erase history. He specifically talked about the protest the night before that was completely peaceful and had pro/con statue removal people there. Trump speaks plain English. Go listen to the source.
And everyone stop adding to the mischaracterization of extreme left vs extreme right. It's extreme left vs extreme left.
Antifa/Blm vs nazis/white supremacists is MARXISTS vs SOCIALISTS. Call it what it is & don't let the new speak triumph.

Are there good people among the white supremacists?
It depends on what you mean by 'good' here. All of us are sinful wretches on God's scale. Nobody is good, not one. In terms of neighbors and pals, just about anyone can be good. Stalin was nice to his friends, he treated the guy that ran the movies for his family like a son. I imagine there are likable, interesting people among the Klan and La Raza both, in black supremacists and Taliban. As long as you avoid certain topics and ideas you probably can get along fine, with some of them.
Not everyone in that protest was from the Klan or Antifa, for that matter. There were just people there rallying to work together for a better america or just to oppose the moron klansmen that showed up. Those are the people Trump was talking about.

No different than isis in removing history they don't agree with.
Here's a little riddle for you:
I am Protestant. Yet I enjoy visiting ancient Roman Catholic cathedrals as well as Anglican cathedrals in the UK and Europe. I have no desire to destroy them or remove their presence as I am not offended.
I guess we should be offended by the UK, as they once made us fight a war for freedom. We should, sarcasm, deport all British and the bust of Winston Churchill.
I am not offended by much of anything except this type of cowardice response to a group of offended people. So, now, we are offended by the Founding Fathers...who, by virtue of the times, had slaves. I guess the offended do not notice it is currently 2017 and, legally, no US citizen owns slaves.
How are they going to answer to the slave trade in isis in 2017. Does that offend them? Human trafficking of women, kidnapped across the globe, to be sex slaves. Does that offend them? Oh, wait, not their narrative.

Exactly. I'm convinced that Kessler scammed a bunch of people of conscience to protest tearing down historical artifacts without sufficient input from citizens. Then when they got there and found themselves surrounded by plants and dickweeds, there was a quick WTF moment wondering how screwed they were.
Too bad we can't count on the MFM to look into that.

The Civil Rights movement in the south was successful because of non-violence in the face of violence which cameras recorded. Plus cities in the south who survived the civil rights movements trained their police to not react to provocations and to stand down.
This strategy works. Cloward Piven are not hacks. The media is not on our side so their audience is not either. The only way to get the audience on our side is to take beatings on camera. Prove that the Marxists are the violent ones.
It takes a strong soul to take a beating and sacrifice for the larger goal.

History should be seen as an advancement (or decline) of certain ideals, by imperfect men.
In much of the world life was very hard, and people gave themselves over to kings or warlords. The peasantry are often treated as slaves or cattle. The Irish were said to be used for work that was too dangerous to risk a slave's life. Perhaps the Irish had more freedom then, but they took the work rather than starve.
The sort of liberty we have today is a relatively new concept. The concept that an individual is so "free" that they have the right to force someone else to feed/house and care for them ... is not liberty, but dependence and forced oppression of the taxpayer.
Certainly the chained slave is a horrible concept, but tyranny can be as vicious or worse. Perspective is hard, especially for the ignorant on the welfare dole that have life so easy compared to those living 250 years ago. Starvation never crosses their little minds.

Interesting thing about the Crow Scouts who rode with Custer: just before Little Bighorn after they informed Custer that they were riding into a trap one of Custer's officers noticed them saying funeral rites and putting on warpaint. The scouts stated that they were preparing to die. The officer apparently viewed it as damaging morale, so he sent them away. Supposedly that's one of the reasons the scouts survived. They were willing to fight and die with Custer at Little Bighorn.

I then point out that the full title is, 'On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life'
That generally leads to a moment of confused silence. I surprised they don't strip a mental cog.

>>>THIS IS CRITICAL THEORY IN ACTION.
The left creates these systems with all these pompous buzzwords ("intersectionality", etc.) that allow the leftist to feel flattered that he's mastered a sophisticated philosophy.
But really, all leftist systematization is designed to prey on the stupidity of people. It's nothing but a con job with bombastic terms.
It uses false dichotomies and hoaxes to con people, and when those fail, emotional bullying, and violence.
There is no solution except teach children to think carefully about moral questions so they won't be duped.

I wasn't the only one laughing during the video they showed to the large holding area on my last jury-duty call. It's sickening, really. All these nice, formerly true things about America's judicial system, being touted in a somewhat gauzy video. Several people who chuckled - and quickly stifled it - looked around at each other.

It's wholesale insanity...except it is not.
I have to keep reminding myself of the plan behind all this crap. This is orchestrated. Or people are being used & exploited like widgets. This is a different war we are in.
End goal is to get rid of Trump & re-establish the power base of the status quo.
And they need people in streets wIth guns and chaos to do it.
Some they can easily get. The center is holding, so they are gonna keep adding fire. I' m not gonna play. I'm taking the long view. And I'll use my phone to call Congress members.
But war over some stone? Or the antics of nut jobs? No.
Is this how I feel? No. I'm incensed.

It worked because the media was sympathetic to their cause. They are not sympathetic to ours and either won't film stuff as they haven't been doing or just not air it which they also are doing.
Look at the violence in Berkeley, armed antifa thugs battering unarmed men and women. The media was there. They filmed it and aired it briefly? You seen much sympathy from that?
Nope, the only way we are going to win this is by doing exactly what Trump is doing, rejecting their narrative and pushing back hard.

They will have to report on it if we are the only people getting assaulted. You get dozens of people injured and the media has to report it at some point.
All it takes is on Marxist injured. That's all.
Either take a page from the 60's, use it against them, and take a beating. OR flat out declare war and get the Civil War stared.
You can't deploy hot war tactics in this situation. It's one thing to talk big on the internet but another thing to do it.
Plenty of people had to take beatings to advance a cause, yet somehow our side is above it. That's pretty fucking weak.

Start showing up and taking an ass-whipping ? Next demand from the Center will be to stop showing up.

Combine that with "Sell your cloak and buy a sword" and the teachings of Christ are less "Let tyrants and scum kill you at will" and more "Don't start a fight, but if they want a war with you, finish it."

You know who else was a slave owner, but a lot of people (at least the ones who comment at Insty's site) don't seem to know it?
Ben Franklin.
That's right, Franklin the great abolitionist, owned slaves for most of his adult life. They were house slaves, not field slaves, but they were still slaves. Purchased by Ben and his wife as property, and without the liberty to choose how to live their own lives.
In the latter part of his life, Ben gave one of his slaves to his daughter, and he revised his will to free his two remaining slaves, Peter and Jemima, on his death. Unfortunately for Peter and Jemima, they died a few years before Ben, so his gesture ended up being meaningless. Peter and Jemima died as they had lived -- slaves owned by Ben Franklin, Abolitionist.

It is true that the general public is more sympathetic toward victims of brutality than people who fight back. Its confusing to them when they get their information from the left, when people fight back.
Its impossible to get away with portraying people beaten bloody and attacked as the aggressors. But when both sides are beat up, you can always spin it as "right wing crazies attack peaceful antifa"

Rush ranting right now, covering several of the points covered here the past few days - although we did it better.
Right now he's hammering home the (obvious) point I've been yammering about, to limited apparent effect, for two days - the "white supremacist/neo-Nazi/KKK" groups, taken all together, are not even detectable on the national political or social radar. If they were any more marginalized, they literally wouldn't exist.
But not just the "press", but people here continue to imply that this is not the case.
Meanwhile, the constellation of racist/authoritarian outfits, several of them violent and with impressive body counts, is substantial - by US standards - and is a real force to be reckoned with, and not just by the white power freaks when they hold their tiny events.

@Jackal, Lincoln wasn't involved in creating Liberia, but he was a supporter of the American Colonization Society and was at least blueprinting the idea of repatriating all the freed slaves to Africa. He wasn't big on the idea that the races could co-exist.
Fun fact, Harriet Beecher Stowe was also a big proponent of repatriation. Her idea was to "educate and improve" black people and then ship them back to Africa so they could build a glorious society there.

You could watch the movie Selma.
Pepe has a point - I don't know that is a 100% valid one, but it is a point.
Thing 1, supposedly folks on the statue preservation side were armed - open carrying. No one was shot. How much differently (read worse) would the aftermath be had shooting started?
Thing 2, someone on the statue preservation side (and no I am not using that to downplay the Nazis and Klan types or defend them or any of that) ran over and killed someone. That has erased a lot of the validity of the violence on both sides thing. Yes, there was violence on many sides, but only one side killed somebody.
Just like in Selma (and I am surely going to Hell for comparing these events) the pro-statue side knew what was coming.

Interesting thing about the Crow Scouts who rode with Custer: just before Little Bighorn after they informed Custer that they were riding into a trap one of Custer's officers noticed them saying funeral rites and putting on warpaint. The scouts stated that they were preparing to die. The officer apparently viewed it as damaging morale, so he sent them away. Supposedly that's one of the reasons the scouts survived. They were willing to fight and die with Custer at Little Bighorn.

I hope the GOP leadership is aware that the alt-left is a violent group of thugs and the real violence in the real world has come from BLM, muzzies, antifas, rent a riots, and mainstream lefties like James Mcfatfuckface.
The GOP leadership does not give a fuck unless one of them is taking a bullet to the head. And, pace Steve Scalise, even if they do take a bullet to the head, it's their own fault for existing.
Just ask Marco Rubio.

The goal is to win the soft center, and we don't
have the soft center. So every defensive measure taken that spills the
blood of Marxists will be framed and reported on as aggressive acts of
violence by nationalists.

Thing 2, someone on the statue preservation side (and no I am not using that to downplay the Nazis and Klan types or defend them or any of that) ran over and killed someone. That has erased a lot of the validity of the violence on both sides thing.
Exactly. Had that not happened, it would have just been another clash, with antifa showing up to cause trouble and hurt people.

379 @Jackal, Lincoln wasn't involved in creating Liberia, but he was a supporter of the American Colonization Society and was at least blueprinting the idea of repatriating all the freed slaves to Africa. He wasn't big on the idea that the races could co-exist.
Fun fact, Harriet Beecher Stowe was also a big proponent of repatriation. Her idea was to "educate and improve" black people and then ship them back to Africa so they could build a glorious society there.

Even funnier fact: What was the frst things the Americo-Liberians did once Liberia was established? They started oppressing the naitives! They didn't get voting rights until some time in te 60's or 70's after a coup. After which Liberia rapidly started to go in the crapper as a country.

Ignoramus - press "credibility" cannot be reduced, if that were possible, it would be gone already. No "delenda est". Maybe on the margins. But overall - gee, what are discussing here today? That's right, 98% of it is media-driven distortions and slanders. They remain dominant. Wish-casting is for verboten.
Turnout (which was already likely to be OK) is actually not the problem. As you know.
Turnout that produces a ...... "GOP Congress!!!" .... yields ..... oh, right. What we have now. Not that *nothing* had been done - but very very little in comparison to the need, and the political space available (just about every major issue is completely one-sided, politically).
Key is replacing GOP incumbents, knocking off as many Senate Dems as possible, based on their positions on key issues (thus creating at least some political obligation by the replacements to actually finally deliver).
I see/hear almost nothing of this, any of it. I've been openly wondering when the WH is going to accept that they have to run against much of the GOP, if they have any interest in going beyond the box they're currently trapped inside.

Maybe the pastor of the Liberation Christian Center
which was "formed and ordained by God to be the balm in Gilead" (from their internet description) should be aware of 2nd Timothy 1:7 "God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of love, power and a sound mind" He's afraid of a statue of a man dead over 200 years, a man who asked in his will that his slaves be freed at his death? There's a hymn called "There Is a Balm in Gilead" which talks about healing the sin sick soul. Maybe he needs some healing for his sin sick soul so that he can focus on more important things.

193 The thing is, this is the same country that kicked the left straight in the pills last November, shocking them into silence for hours straight. This is the same country that has for almost a decade pushed more and more Democrats out of office in state after state, over 1000 offices since Obama became President.
These guys are just loud and have a huge megaphone with the media, but they are small in number, isolated in situation, and confused by any different voice. Its like that kid in class who had an IQ of like 70 and yelled a lot. He seems to dominate the conversation but there are 29 other kids.

I continue to remind myself of this. I continue to look at how many college kids, and American citizens are not throwing down. People hate living in chaos & violence. People are also seeing how cracked the left is. There are Dems I know who say if they had to do it over they would not vote for Hillary. They had no idea their party was so corrupt.
So, for now, I continue to remind myself that America keeps lurching from one outrage to the next. And there will be more before the next election.
To keep a cool head about this, I shall go stick it in the freezer. Good day.

390 Interesting thing about the Crow Scouts who rode with Custer: just before Little Bighorn after they informed Custer that they were riding into a trap one of Custer's officers noticed them saying funeral rites and putting on warpaint. The scouts stated that they were preparing to die. The officer apparently viewed it as damaging morale, so he sent them away. Supposedly that's one of the reasons the scouts survived. They were willing to fight and die with Custer at Little Bighorn.

Custer, for all of his heroics during the Late Unpleasantness, was an arrogant shitheel who got his men killed. When your scouts come to you and say you're riding into a trap against an army that outnumbers and outguns (The Sioux were armed to the teeth with Henry and 1866 Winchester rifles, the assault rifle of its day) you, you listen to them.

When addressing congress in 1862 and asking for funding for colonization, he said "I cannot make it better known than it already is that I strongly favor colonization."
However, after Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, he never publicly advocated for colonization again, although historians say that he still saw it as a good idea for blacks who were dissatisfied with their lives in the U.S.

You could watch the movie Selma.
Pepe has a point - I don't know that is a 100% valid one, but it is a point.
Thing 1, supposedly folks on the statue preservation side were armed - open carrying. No one was shot. How much differently (read worse) would the aftermath be had shooting started?
Thing 2, someone on the statue preservation side (and no I am not using that to downplay the Nazis and Klan types or defend them or any of that) ran over and killed someone. That has erased a lot of the validity of the violence on both sides thing. Yes, there was violence on many sides, but only one side killed somebody.
Just like in Selma (and I am surely going to Hell for comparing these events) the pro-statue side knew what was coming.

You're forgetting one major difference between Selma and now. The MFM were 100% behind the blacks in Selma. Of course everyone saw how the poor black man was being beaten.
Now, when anyone is beaten by the antifa, the media takes the side of the antifa and says that the counter-left protesters deserved it.

Is anyone making a definitive list of public figures who have sanctioned the right of self-appointed speech police to preempt "hate speech" with violence if they have a good heart and identify the speaker - in their sole discretion - as a probable NAZI?
I would have thought that our SEVERE CONSTITUTIONALISTS would be against such a thing and stand fast on the former principle that NAZI speech that doesn't directly incite violence is speech, and Commie violence to preempt "hate speech" is, in fact, violence and not speech.
I've seen members of the Crying Eagle Brigade make this at least implicit - including McCain and Willard who were the former Hitler 2.0s and who are now free (for the moment) of specious accusations of being NAZIs.

blaster, do you know what happened with the car incident? Will there be a conviction of any sort? Is the defendant even known to any of the organized element that had the permit? (doubtful) None of this is known - by anyone. So yes - using the mob's disinformation/no-information standard, we know what happened. And when none of that proves to be true, or is even turned on its head - do we back up and get a do-over?
Hopped Up, I think you read a first-person comment - can't recall where it is, read it yesterday, someone linked it on the ONT. Guy gave a pretty cold, mechanical description of events, as he saw from his location. At a minimum, based on his account, we have a major case of disastrous police incompetence (I said minimum - again, we just don't know almost anything about what actually happened).
And sure, we can go with the myths/lies/fog of war stuff - and 1 killed!!! - and join the mob. Or not.

What Trump needs to do is get some facts out about what happened and not wait for Jeff ZZZZZ Sessions to complete some sort of investigation using Holder civil rights lawyers because that is the same bunch that paid for and organized marches for Trayvon.

Well, maybe, but these are all white guys that everyone is comfortable believing are evil and deserve hatred. Seems like someone is deliberately walking from most reprehensible to less reprehensible in order to get people comfortable with violence against whites. Maybe?
Nazis - pepper spray and bike locks
Slavers - violence
Founding Fathers - violence

Yes, I think these things through. And fighting back violently against the Marxists is a losing battle. Obviously, y'all believe taking a beating for the cameras without fighting back is a losing battle.
So what's left? Seriously?
Asymmetrical warfare? Literally Hot Warfare tactics? People on the right cant even make the sacrifices needed in their own lives like not using the tools,and products of our enemies so out will a hot war work out?
Ugh.

Yes, do the live blog of the Borne film. Have fun with it. People like to bitch about movie posts being long but the truth is, we love em and we love talking about movies here.
Footage would never make it past the editor. If live-feed, "technical difficulties" would ensue.
It gets all over social media though. Until this last incident, Antifa had a nasty stink of brutal rioting thugs about them. Now they seem less so because one idiot drove a car into people. That's Pepe's point.

Because they have been facing off against antifa at every rally for over a year. That's why they came ready to rumble and so did antifa.
Watch the upcoming white nationalist rallies that are being announced in cities across the country. Wherever they show up, so will antifa. It's not a surprise.

With Trump's military leaders publicly contradicting his position on transgenders, I think we crossed the Rubicon , doubled back and crossed it again just for good measure.
This is not an us against them. It's an us against them and them.

That's one thing Trump can single-handedly take care of. As CinC, he has the moral obligation to act in situations of gross insubordination of the military officers under him so that order is maintained.

True. It can be argued that the cotton gin saved slavery in the south. Without it, slavery probably dies out or remains isolated to a few agricultural products and gets banned in the early 1800s.

I was taught about that in school, yea, these many centuries ago. What they never taught me was that Eli Whitney, the inventor of the cotton gin, also came up with the idea of interchangeable machine parts, like for rifles, so they could be mass-produced. Thus leading to the North's industrialization. In other words, this one man set the two parts of the country, North and South, on their divergent and opposing paths.

Beauregard's talking sanctuary cities today? Interesting.
Have yet to see whether the rather pitiful "stick" of withholding small grants will stand up in court (I can easily see it being - rightly - disallowed, depending on what the statutes and appropriations bills say).
Wonder if serious measures have even crossed anyone's mind at DOJ on this matter.

Efforts were made. Not sure if it was muzzies or their predecessors. They were originally covered with bright white limestone facing blocks, so that they had four smooth, white flat faces, not steps. Those were all stolen, and repurposed for other buildings.
So the Pyramids literally were defaced.

Both sides came to the conflict armed. Only one side used the weapons they came to the "rally" with. No shooting despite all those guns. Plenty of clubbing and spray paint flame throwers. Again, if it hadn't been for that jackwagon in the car, this would have been pretty bad for the left.

I don't think the left and their fellow-travelers in the executive ranks understand where this is going.
I would not begin to predict the outcome.
But the direction we're going may be civil war. Not the US 1861 kind, but the Cromwell and French 1789 kind.
And, like I said, I would not begin to predict the outcome of something like that.
Should it come to pass, we might end up a Chinese colony, we might end up a series of little North American Balkans in perpetual skirmish, one side might crush the other, but if history is any indicator there could be several evolutions of the process and the end result may be something no one predicted.

Machines like that were making slavery obsolete, because they meant you didn't need as many workers to do the job. So you need fewer slaves. Mechanism was making it cheaper to not use people, so you wouldn't need slaves for the fields. Its expensive to keep a slave, make no mistake. Unless they materially contribute to your wealth, they're just a net drain. Food, shelter, medical care, someone to watch them and keep them around, its all net expense.

True. It can be argued that the cotton gin saved slavery in the south. Without it, slavery probably dies out or remains isolated to a few agricultural products and gets banned in the early 1800s.

I was taught about that in school, yea, these many centuries ago. What they never taught me was that Eli Whitney, the inventor of the cotton gin, also came up with the idea of interchangeable machine parts, like for rifles, so they could be mass-produced. Thus leading to the North's industrialization. In other words, this one man set the two parts of the country, North and South, on their divergent and opposing paths.
One man can make a difference.

Forgotten Weapons has a good video on Whitney's rlfle company. It arose out of financial difficulties related to him getting screwed on his patents for the cotton gin. Apparently, everybody on earth was ripping him off, so he moved into guns in the early 1800s.

Because they have been facing off against antifa at every rally for over
a year. That's why they came ready to rumble and so did antifa.
------------------
This was the danger in soft-pedaling political violence from the Left early on. Remember the Chicago Trump rally that was "shut down" by heckler's veto engineered by Mayor Twinkle Toes. Remember how the Left celebrated that, about how they claimed Trump wasn't tough enough for their "turf" (even though that turf is in the U.S. and governed by the Constitution? Remember Antifa, assorted Leftists and illegal immigration advocates (probably illegal themselves) running down and assaulting people leaving Trump rallies? Remember the woman leaving a Trump rally, backed up against glass doors and being pelted in the face mercilessly with eggs from a few feet away?
How much do you want to bet that many of the Unite the Right Rally goers saw that? That it made their blood boil too? That they were attracted to it, they wanted to DO something about it? So they joined a side and sought to counter street violence with some of their own.
This nonsense is only going to attract MORE violent misfits to both sides, and is only going to escalate in violence and the methods of violence. People are going to get shot soon unless the Left starts getting real about what is going on and their part in it.

It's worth considering that the white minority in the South would not have banned slavery, gin or no, at least not as long as they were so vastly outnumbered by an uneducated mass of liberated blacks who would promptly become a socio/economic/political problem. I have a feeling they'd have retained the institution, if only to avoid the ramifications of a freed large majority of resentful ex-slaves.

I know I am made fun of (usually deservedly), but I do recommend highly the POV documentary about two black children accepted into a very competitive NY preschool and school. Both families are upper-middle class (well-educated and hard-working) and the pressures on those little boys were scary.
The penultimate scenes were of one of the children going to Africa and being confronted with a 'king' there apologizing for selling his people into slavery. The kids didn't know how to handle it or process that reality. Don't know if those young people ever figured out how privileged they were, but the silence in the hotel was painful and compelling.

The media is always, no matter what, going to be against us, and lying, and covering up the facts. That will not change no matter what tactics we use. So we don't base our tactics on how the media reacts. They're irrelevant to the discussion.

If Hearst can send us to war over the Maine, can the WaPo and Carlos Slim incite civil war over BLM and the border?

Little Big Horn was, in part, the result of Custer's arrogance. The other part was his faith in his men. He couldn't envision any Indian force, no matter how large, that could stand against them.
In fairness to Custer and his men, they were one of the finest cavalry units on the planet, brave and disciplined, but Custer should've remembered what happened to Fetterman, who made the same mistake for many of the same reasons.
As an aside, I've always been curious about those rifles. Who supplied them?

Mechanism was making it cheaper to not use people, so you wouldn't need slaves for the fields. Its expensive to keep a slave, make no mistake.

Keep in mind that all of this nonsense is an effort to regain the white house in 2020. The left needs one more term of utter leftist anti-American garbage to get rid of elections altogether and this is the first shot of the battle for 2020.
Everything you see is fake; bought and paid for by Soros, the DNC and anti-American forces on the left.
They are close, and with every simp pussy GOPe (like Peter Roskam) coming out openly against their party's president, the left will realize their games are working and will try that much harder for victory.
It's all to win in 2020. That's all. We will lose statues, monuments, personal property, freedom, etc. - and people will die - these are small prices to pay for the left to regain power.

blaster, do you know what happened with the car incident? Will there be a conviction of any sort? Is the defendant even known to any of the organized element that had the permit? (doubtful) None of this is known - by anyone. So yes - using the mob's disinformation/no-information standard, we know what happened. And when none of that proves to be true, or is even turned on its head - do we back up and get a do-over?
I know a few things about the car incident, certainly not everything. But I am confident there will be a conviction.
I don't know anything about the driver other than he felt the need to come all the way from Ohio to hang out with Nazis. The Nazis and Klan were not a surprise at the protest, were they? Were they not organizers? I don't know nor do I care what he wrote in high school unless it was some essay about when he grew up he was going to take a car and plow it into a crowd. But I do know that he chose to go and be there among those people - and, yeah, he does not get a lot of sympathy from me. What did Trump say about him?
The driver of the car is a disgrace to himself, his family, and his country. You can call it terrorism. You can call it murder. You can call it whatever you want... And then you get into legal semantics. The driver of the car is a murderer, and what he did is a horrible thing.
I am where Trump is on it.
I strongly suspect that the guy did not go there - to Charlottesville - with the intent to kill anyone. I suspect that he got angry while there and lashed out with what he had at hand - his car. I don't know this, its what I suspect. He plowed into a group of people, then he backed up and hit them again. Yeah, maybe heat of the moment, but in that moment, he lost any defense that it was accidental or panic or whatever.

To a person they despise the supremacist nature of the "alt-right" oraganization, but everyone recognizes their right to voice their opinions.
Yeah but because of the car killing, the violence all is considered to have been on the right. The truth that antifa was beating and attacking people is totally buried by the car. Without that, the story is much clearer.

>>Machines like that were making slavery obsolete,
because they meant you didn't need as many workers to do the job. So
you need fewer slaves. Mechanism was making it cheaper to not use
people, so you wouldn't need slaves for the fields. Its expensive to
keep a slave, make no mistake. Unless they materially contribute to your
wealth, they're just a net drain. Food, shelter, medical care, someone
to watch them and keep them around, its all net expense. Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at August 16, 2017 02:11 PM (39g3+)
No argument with any of the above, though you don't consider this: Just because "slavery is made obsolete," that doesn't change the fact that you now have 17 shiny, new, efficient cotton gins and 3.5 million unemployed, resentful cohabitants who'd probably like very much to turn the tables good and hard...

The media is irrelevant to the discussion? WTF?
Step back and think about this objectively a moment.
If something will be a certain way no matter what you do, or how you act, or what tactics you use, then its not part of your tactical analysis. Its like bringing up gravity every time someone discusses how to take out a machine gun nest. BUT WHAT ABOUT GRAVITY??? Gravity is just there.
Nothing we do will get the media to report the truth. Nothing we do will make them friendly or helpful. Nothing we do will change their narrative. So they're irrelevant, they've made themselves meaningless. We plan and act without even considering the media, because they're simply not part of the equation.

A group of antifascist protesters armed with purple shields and bats showed up to the Wednesday funeral of a woman mowed down by a white supremacist who struck her with a vehicle.
Antifa, a collection of left-wing protesters, decided to crash the funeral of Heather Heyer, a white woman who died after a white supremacist drove his car into a crowd of protesters during a white nationalist riot.
How thoughtful of them/sarc.

554 Custer, for all of his heroics during the Late Unpleasantness, was an arrogant shitheel who got his men killed. When your scouts come to you and say you're riding into a trap against an army that outnumbers and outguns (The Sioux were armed to the teeth with Henry and 1866 Winchester rifles, the assault rifle of its day) you, you listen to them.

Little Big Horn was, in part, the result of Custer's arrogance. The other part was his faith in his men. He couldn't envision any Indian force, no matter how large, that could stand against them.
In fairness to Custer and his men, they were one of the finest cavalry units on the planet, brave and disciplined, but Custer should've remembered what happened to Fetterman, who made the same mistake for many of the same reasons.

Literally not talking about lying down. Talking about not responding to their provocations, which could be violent.
Non-violence does win in certain situations and I think it's ok to discuss reasonably and rationally if this is the case.
Violence is not a winning strategy in this case, if you think it is then make your argument.
Is government the answer? Then make your point, pros and cons.
Going down the same road as we have been going is a guaranteed loss.

@522 Machines like that were making slavery obsolete
Omanoman, you at least are "awaize" from the received wisdom on this.
"Ginning" cotton was extremely expensive, so bad that the crop was a high luxury item and about to go out of style. The mechanical cotton gin replaced all the slaves who had to card the seeds out-- freeing them up to grow cotton.
Areas that used slave labor for traditional farm crops were already in financial trouble by the end of the importation era. Industrial-scale farming of commodity-traded crops gave slavery a new lease on life.
Has Pratt and Whitney ever been named in a reparations suit?

Slavery was largely forced upon America by the British kingdom for the tax money. Read the Federalist Papers.
I wouldn't say largely; slavery was economically feasible and a normal part of human culture for about as long as people have been on this earth.
Its hard for us to relate to but until the late 1800s, it was hard to just survive. it took a lot of work to do everything and nobody had time or energy to do it all, every day. So you had servants who did all that crap which left you to do the rest. Even poor people had servants. Sometimes, a lot of times, those servants were slaves.
So it was part of culture and economics, part of survival to have menial labor which was sometimes -- often in some cases -- not paid beyond basic needs (incidentally, some slaves were actually paid a small allowance, as well).
So while pressure from the Brits was making slavery even more necessary, people would have had them anyway. It was, until reliable, fairly cheap mechanical devices came along, the cheapest way to get the product on the market. And if you reject basic Christian concepts of human value and loving your neighbor, its a reasonable one as well.

Machines like that were making slavery obsolete, because they meant you didn't need as many workers to do the job. So you need fewer slaves. Mechanism was making it cheaper to not use people, so you wouldn't need slaves for the fields. Its expensive to keep a slave, make no mistake. Unless they materially contribute to your wealth, they're just a net drain. Food, shelter, medical care, someone to watch them and keep them around, its all net expense.

Just as with LBJ the radicals struck while the iron was hot. Before the Kennedys and LBJ race relations were better than today and contrary to popular textbooks the majority black community was well on its way to autonomy just like their minority predecessors the Italians, Polish, and Irish etc. Same with the slavery issue, it was on its way out and was beginning to compete with the north. Both times in history events for Americans would have been better left alone.
Corporatists and tyrants will start it and they will fight to the bitter end.

Even without the guy from Ohio running someone over, this was never going to be about Antifa in the media... social or otherwise.
Its a tougher sell with the targets being white supremacist types, but there would have been footage and images of the people being beaten with clubs etc on social media like the last bunch of times the two groups have met. The death changed the entire tone and picture of the event -- and then there are the cops who died in the helicopter crash, which is basically being ignored. Do we even know why it went down?

But it doesn't matter. After seeing the videos linked here, I would absolutely believe that he got scared and was trying to break out of the mob that had surrounded his car.

well blaster what Trump said about being a "murderer" was stupid, might even prove to be problematic for prosecution (Nixon and Manson).
The rest of what he said was ill-advised, too. Unless he knows specifics you and I don't know (where's that commenter that knows all this? I keep referring people to him).
All that matters is that someone was killed and people were injured. The facts leading to that outcome are all that matters.
And you are DISMISSED from the jury pool, dude! So that's some good news for you, anyway!

Slavery was on its way out and if left alone
Yeah, the smart thing would have been for the North to help the South get away from Slavery, educate and work with freed slaves to find a better life, and slowly move away from the system. Freeing all of them all at once caused huge problems with poverty and did the slaves no good at all.
Booker T Washington wrote about watching freed slaves given money go buy fine clothes, a carriage to ride around in, and living in style then having no money and no clue what to do next. That's why he started the Tuskeegee Institute to begin with.
It was a huge, godawful, stupid national tragedy pushed by arrogant, inflexible people on both sides. Everyone was to blame, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers lost their lives as a result.

Pep... that strategy ONLY works against people with a conscience who do not really want you dead. It worked against the British in India and in the American South in the 60's because the people there were fundamentally decent (and not coincidentally from the same traditions). It would not have worked against Hitler or Stalin and it will not work against people who believe as Hitler and Stalin did.

When I was little I asked my Dad what would happen if the Soviets hit us with H-Bombs. He said that if anyone survived the Soviets would invade. They would use the Leftists in the Country to round up all the gun owners and republicans and then kill or imprison them. Then they would round up the Leftists themselves and kill them--no camps for them because they were a bigger threat.
I asked him what we would do and he said he hoped we were simply killed in the first strike because after that things would be very ugly.

Yes, and I think it was odd that there was a car stopped in the road, and as you watch the video it doesn't *look* occupied by a driver immediately after impact.
I had a thought that it might have been put there to prevent the safe exit of rally-goers in their cars. It's just a hunch.

"What does that mean?"
That you live eternally. That you have no beginning and have no end.
One mystic claims Jesus is the power of God to forget. God can never forget. That mystic also claims your time on Earth is over when you remember what you forgot.
That mystic says that Jesus forgets your sins and you are forgiven.
What can I say? That is why they call them mystics. :-)

Slavery was on its way out and if left alone
The Kansas-Nebraska of 1854 was seen as a way to extend slavery all the way to the west coast below the Mason Dixon thus giving slavery a new life and was one of the hotly disputed issues that lead up to the Civil war.

471 Social media makes things loom larger than they really are, and the media follows social media like the voice of God, so you can pretty much discount 90% of the outrage and voices of screaming ninnies out there. Its like looking through the wrong end of the telescope, you're not getting a view of the big picture, you're getting a smashed and distorted little picture.

So true, and been this way for years.
Remember when NYT said they were gonna let social media be their fact checkers and got rid of their own fact checkers.

How could anyone take that paper seriously now?

589 It is a personality flaw of mine that I can sort of understand and accept theft and thieves, but vandalism makes me want to string these guys up and rip their balls off. I know it makes no logical sense, but it is the way I am.

It's not a flaw. It's sound moral intuition.
The thief who steals my fancy Mercedes does so because he wants it. He loves it.
The goon who smashes it out of resentment, who would rather it be destroyed than have someone else enjoy it, is acting out of pure hate.

412 Does this mean that Denzel Washington must forfeit any statues he's been awarded?
Posted by: Stu Podaso
It means he has to change his last name.
Not to mention the State of Washington, and Washington, D.C. Have to change those too.
Then there are all the Washington, Jefferson, and Jackson counties and cities throughout the nation. Have to change those too.
Dog whistle purity laws.

Sam Houston made a speech about that. He blamed the Free Soil party and another group.
He predicted it would cause great conflict, that the South would secede, the would be a great bloody war, and the South would not only lose but suffer greatly.

Holding Historic figures in history to modern standards is ridiculous. Just like holding present day people responsible for the past is ridiculous, dishonest and evil. The left has jumped the shark.

I'm advocating a strategy and tactics used in the 1960's and at other times in history to be used here.
How is this digging a hole?
Nobody wants to die in vain.
Posted by: Widespread Pepe at August 16, 2017 02:25 PM (XFue2)
That strategy worked in the '60's because the mainstream media was supportive of the Civil Rights movement. Very much so, in fact.
Today the MSM is the propaganda organ of the Enemy. Do you think Pravda carried articles bemoaning the sad fate of the Kulaks?

I'm also guessing that the "Bishop" isn't averse to images of George Washington when they're printed on green paper.

Washington, DC. Change it to Booker T., DC
Let's put Rosa Parks on all the money.
Virginia, the Virgin Queen, gave land to her nobles which owned slaves. So let's rename Virginia Obamaland.
Rushmore. A suitcase nuke oughta do it, and shit, only wing nuts go there, so who cares if it's contaminated for a hundred years or so.
Every boulevard or street in the country named Washington or Jefferson needs to be renamed. Let's go with Sharpton, guys like that.
The Washington Park neighborhood in Denver, full of fine historic homes, let's go with Douchebag Park.

Gee..just like the Taliban tearing down the ancient statue of the Buddha, because, God forbid, history existed before Mohammed did.
News Bulletin : people don't fight to get into a country that's evil.
Just as I thought, civilization depended upon Christianity and the West to rise above barbarian hordes.
Hey! If you'd stayed in your native countries you'd be shitting into a hole, cutting your women's sex organs, and burning people alive in cages. How's that child rape thing going with you guys?
