Fox "news."

William Barr just formed a task force to look at Antifa and The Boogaloo movement. He is also looking into foreign influence. I just be that means Evropean support for them former military Boogaloo guys. The right wing extremists have for many years been all about a race war and forming an all white nation. The leader of the Order (Robert Matthews) said so back in the 1980s. The right wing extremists have never been about preserving American Democracy, or respecting Constitutional right of colored people. They have always been all about an all white nation just like Rev. Richard Butler said.

 

They're talking about cancelling it in my community because of Covid-19.

 

Non sequitor.

 

Me and old Okie used to talk about Pinto Beans and Corn Bread. I was thinking you might like Beans and Corn Bread just like old Okie?

 

I don't like fireworks. They are loud, tend to roll down the street, and start .

 

Hey, you do realize that Tish is the artist formerly known as Okie?

 

I suspected it based on your writings and postings and political thinking. Is that your name or the name of the town where you live? Lots of Delaware, Huron, and Miami from my area in Northern Indiana ended up in Oklahoma. I read up on it a bunch.

LOL the thread in question is the written equivalent of some little boys seeing how far they can piss up a wall, it’s silly, dumb and the piss splashes everywhere, it really isn’t worth joining in.

Ok – so you think the 4th of July is racist - fine I’ll hear out your argument why is it racist?

 

6, people have come to turn the Fourth of July into all sorts of things.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are those who celebrate an American history that has little to do with 1776 or being a glorious, autonomous/independent nation.

It's really us congratulating ourselves on a job well done I think... We accomplished much between landing at Plymouth Rock and signing the Declaration of Independence. I think it's really beautiful.

But where I'm from the 4th can be convoluted and devoid of anything patriotic.

Do you think that racists sometimes confuse racism with patriotism? I do. And I think it's worth noting they're definitely not the same thing.

Also, I realize your comment seems to be half joking, or that I may be taking it out of context. I apologize if my reply is out of touch or completely off topic!

Thing is that festival days get their own flavour often devoid of their historical content.

In the UK we have the 5th of November which most people these days celebrate by setting off fireworks (and not so common these days is the building of bonfires with a ‘guy’ (effigy) on top)

Why? Well because we are ‘celebrating’ the burning to death of a catholic who had tried to blow up parliament.

It is a day seeped in religious bigotry, does that mean I’d end it – no I like fireworks.

I’m not sure what 6’s argument is for saying the 4th of July is racist – but let’s see.

 

Not me, I don’t think it’s racist at all.

Ask your far-left cringe-fringe friends who try to find racism in everything these days.

Last year Colon Kapernick made Nike cancel the Betsy Ross flag edition Sneaker, because he thought it was racist and promoted slavery, so his followers joined in. What these idiots didn’t know, Betsy Ross was vehemently anti-slavery herself back in the day.

It’s only a matter of time before the far left deems 4th of July a racist holiday, deeply rooted in colonialism and western history or some shit. Will it be this year, or next?

Cancel culture is why I practice “socialist distancing”

 

Is this the new "alt-right" meme?

Clever..... Stoopid, but clever.

Oh that’s a pity I thought you had something interesting to say but its just the same old same old….alt-right bullet points and snide asides.

So let’s get this straight – in you mind you believe there are huge numbers of left leaning people that fervently think the 4th of July should be banned for being racist?

And you believe this because…..

 

Some obscure right wing opinion site told him so.

 

I prefer the Betsy Ross flag edition tank top, and the Betsy Ross flag edition underwear because they truly represent patriotism.

 

Oh and remember that it’s a myth. There simply is no credible historical evidence that Betsy Ross had a hand in making or designing the American flag

 

This is hilarious!! Pot calling kettle black. Rump and THE REPUBLICAN PARTY have come up with more & more conspiracy theories about everything. Hush Bimbo, Alex Jones, Glenn Beck, and all the 4-chan & 8-chan ilk have spewed one conspiracy after another. Why?? Because fear works on desperate people. Desperate, under-educated people in particular ………... because they are so unplugged from the history of the U.S., it's adversaries, and current events that anyone can bark out horrible conspiracies and some of them will stick. If a few people bite on the bullshit ………………. people being people - they start spreading the bullshit.

A prime example is the "Hillary Clinton is the mastermind behind a child prostitution ring being run out of pizza shops all around the U.S." Many mentally incompetent protozoans bought that story and one idiot even went into a pizza shop and shot the owner. This is why bullshit works - because there are idiots-a-plenty out there who are soooooooooo gullible that - if they were fish - they'd bite on a naked hook. And swallow it down.

Note to the populace …… when you think school is out, you're done, and no more learning or education is required …………… YOU'RE WRONG !!! That's when you take all you've learned so far - and APPLY it to everyday life. That's when the learning REALLY BEGINS !!! EDUCATION, people!!! Constant EDUCATION. Never-ending EDUCATION …………. from multiple sources - not one or two.

 

Pro-America, pro-Constitution also means that NO President is above the law. It also means that the founders set up a 3-branch government that act as checks & balances to each other. That means NO President can ignore the legal rights of Congress to subpoena people or evidence, and produce testimony to shed light on laws perceived to be broken. NO President can thumb his or her nose at the rights of the other branches to keep our democracy transparent and above reproach.

As much as THE REPUBLICAN PARTY bitches about behind-closed-doors deals and diplomacy, following the "rule of law" and being transparent ………………. they sure as HELL act differently when they are in the White House. Text-book HYPOCRISY.

 

Right on, brother! Sick to death that these assholes are filling up airtime with their stupidity. I’m amazed every fucking day I turn on the tv - almost a surreal reality show playing right before our eyes, and we can’t turn the damn thing off!!!
