The very last straw...

The new name of our state capital will be "Goofyville" consider the type of liberals that govern the city and have for some time.

Isn't that already the name of your county seat?

Will 'white bread' have to be renamed too?

Some of the statue pullers are just playing the odds with a given bronze, true. But that doesn't obscure the fact that for some statues the living case for their removal exceeds that for keeping them on public display.

The taking down of the statues was a lawless act by vandals. There is a process to go through if such actions are desired but apparently these vandals feel they are above the law.. Seems to be more of that happening lately

Of course the ignorant, mindless, barbarians Togor defends can't be expected to know (having received a public school education) that TR was the ORIGINAL "Progressive."

The liberals eat their young. And dig up their ancestors when they really want a banquet.

[togor]

Wonderful example of Togor's warped reasoning: preventing destruction of historic public monuments equals (to him) "returning the Confederacy to its former glory."

So you're in favor of them being moved out of public display, to a curated location where they can be protected and placed in a scholarly context? Or is it your intention that they stay right where they are, thorn in the side of fraction of the country, with tear gas and nightsticks applied as liberally as necessary to keep them unmolested?

Option B would appear to most Americans to be an attempt to glorify the Confederacy.

It has been said that you know you're onto something in a debate when the other side resorts to wild exaggeration.

Jeez, first thing in the morning.

Those pulling down America never sleep.

Does "most Americans" include the millions who voted for Trump?

Togor just needs a liberal cause...

I recommend reading The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements, by Eric Hoffer.

Hoffer demonstrates how the cause does not create the fanatic. The person with a fanatical personality seeks out the cause -- and it can be any cause. Fanatics can reverse their positions and be just as fanatical on the other side.

Mask-mania is a prime example of this kind of fanaticism, as is anti-tobacco fanaticism, the fanatics of MAD, etc. What they all have in common is that they are never satisfied until everyone else is forced to comply with the dictates of their fanaticism.

Exactly right. To paraphrase James Lee Burke, "Ideologs are people who believe with religious fervor in an idea created by an idiot."

I do not believe that a majority of Trump voters think the way forward lies through deliberate and ongoing antagonism over past injustices. I could be wrong.

So resolving things peacefully is a now liberal cause? Boy the path of rightousness gets narrower every day.

[clintonhater]

Yes, when it means total capitulation by those on one side of the issue.

I did not mention any thing about resolving things peacefully..All I said was you need a liberal cause..There you go again..putting your own spin on what I say...
