At a hastily organized news conference today, the national president of the NAACP asserted that images of two of the presidents honored on Mount Rushmore, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, are "offensive and hurtful." National NAACP president Rev. William Barber claimed that he was shocked Friday when he was shown a picture of the monument. Upon researching the memorial's history on Wikipedia, he discovered what he described as "disturbing truths" that require the site's "total demolition." Both former presidents were slaveowners. One historian who disagrees is Civil War historian Kevin M. Levin. "I sympathize with Reverend Barber, and normally I do not disagree with black people, especially those who are bigger than me. But as a student of history, I think we need to appreciate Mount Rushmore in its historical context." These arguments have not changed Barber's mind. "He is right that it has a historical context," Barber said. "But what is that history? The history of racism. The history of lynchings. The history of death. The history of slavery. If you say that shouldn't be offensive, then either you don't know the history, or you are denying the history." When asked why the images of Lincoln and Roosevelt should suffer the same fate, Barber laughed. "They've been hangin' with George and Tom too long to be innocent. They had their chance."

and we also know that chrisitne's husband is a psychologist maybe he's got a contract
we dont know what's causing christine's distress, we dont know if christine is really in distress. we dont know shit except that we know that millions of dollars are being spent to manipulate opinion. From where I sit I just see you grilling her just to do it. I mean I can say that Christine does seem a bit more downtrodden of late. In this world aren't we all? Most all of us here can see the writing on the walls. Who among us wants to lose our loved ones over an insane nations war lust? The world looks like shit and the writing on the walls says it is only gonna get worse before it gets better. So yeah, who could blame anyone that is enlightened for being a little perma bummed about that fact. Thats no reason to apply pressure and vice. __ There are only two kinds of americans left in the USA those opposed to the tyranny and those that are wrong. Resist propaganda, Support strict constitutional adherence!
maybe christine's husband is a psychologist, and he, along with a million other psychologists, have decided that the israeli american empire is unsustainable in psychological terms maybe that's getting christine down
maybe that's getting christine down Maybe that is the stupidest batch of horse shit I have read here that is on par with the banterings of Yukon.... For real dude? I mean for REAL!?!?!? This is hard for me to swallow. Maybe you have an improper attitude? Do you refuse that possibility? You shouldn't. __ There are only two kinds of americans left in the USA those opposed to the tyranny and those that are wrong. Resist propaganda, Support strict constitutional adherence!
well, christine's husband is a psychologist ...and you got to admit that bombing people, willy-nilly worldwide, is not good psychology
...unless you believe that might makes right pychologically, cooperation works better than might makes right in the long run
Lead..... Do you drink? Because I suspect you do. I recently stopped drinking myself. Regardless of any of that I fail to see how or why her man and her would co operate with the nation state of Isreal or any of its lobbies or organizations. I am pretty darn sure they remember Rachel Corrie. Semite supremacy is bullshit and I am certain they get it. Don't you get that too? __ There are only two kinds of americans left in the USA those opposed to the tyranny and those that are wrong. Resist propaganda, Support strict constitutional adherence!
Oh, Bucky is not that bad - unless he's on the sauce. It is just that he has a tendency to be obstreperously logorrheic.
Do you drink? Is the Bear Catholic? Does a Pope shit in the woods? we dont know, but christine, whatever she is, seems to have investested a lot in this forum. it's all going haywire, and that could be causing her distress... maybe, maybe not... maybe it's something else
And what did the nice pope say recently? Respond to evil with good. I have a shit load of good quips,wits , and truths to share Thats how its done right? __ There are only two kinds of americans left in the USA those opposed to the tyranny and those that are wrong.

Der of course Christine has alot invested in this forum... THIS IS HER FORUM! DERRRR OMG that last glistening nugget of obvious burned me a bit lead.and.lag. I don't think I can take that much more ...obviousness. Night. __ There are only two kinds of americans left in the USA those opposed to the tyranny and those that are wrong.

christine has been sitting on the fence so long her pretty little butt looks like a gridiron... except for encouraging racists... that seems strange but it's been so long now, she surely know what she's doing we dont know anything is christine really depressed, or is that a ploy for sympathy?
Humor is always the best antidote. Bucky and I have been around the block a few times and while he has occasionally managed to actually annoy me I generally take him with a grain of salt, make allowance, and respond with humor. That just frosts his little bobber even more. ;-)
Got Whiskey?
i notice the alternate site has gone tits up... what's that about?
OH GAWD ! F what I said! Drop the Ban hammer on him like like he's on fire and you got the gasoline!

we dont really know why christine is catering to idiots, but she is. assuming that christine herself is not an idiot, catering to idiots has got to be tiresome for christine
So spaketh the man banned - more than once.
the problem for christine, if she gives a shit about this forum, is her belief in free speech. by that free speech yardstick, idiots are entitled to speak, no matter how bad it tears her up *shrug*
Last I checked the thread was supposed to be about the NAACRAP. We wouldn't be trying to divert the thread now? Would we? you seemed to be a willing participant in the diversion until you got your ass handed to you
LOL! Got Delusions? forty minutes to register your spontaneous "LOL"
there's a couple things that will help us understand your desperation first would be hitler's description of jewish debate tactics second would be your realization that you're losing third would be your faith in lying
it's absolutely incomprehensible that people would use debate tactics as described by hitler in debates nowadays. must be a gene thing
if christine pulls the plug --in interest of preserving her sanity... who could blame her?
we dont need these forums any more... the truth is geting so obvious we dont need to debate... the truth is plain as the day on your face
How is it that you can so self-righteously conduct your rudeness ? Christine's purpose in making this forum available shouldn't concern you in the least. Please do Christine and the rest of us a favor and leave us with ONE LESS IDIOT to cater to. We should all be livid. Stop acting like docile, mentally castrated pussies and grow a pair. It's time to get in their face. Why should we speak in hushed tones and act all polite when we are being raped every day?
Speak for your self, mate. If I were you, I'd find something else to do. You do ask challenging questions at times, but you can't meet the challenge of a discussion without turning on folks you disagree with and imputing attitudes and motivations of a doubtful sort that seem to have their origins in projections peculiar to your own big self. Take a pill. Know guns, know safety, know liberty. No guns, no safety, no liberty.
wonderful
randge is scared shitless it's starting to dawn on people that hitler didnt need the internet now it's becoming obvious that the internet is a bust... nothing has really changed . pretty fucking scary, isnt it?
randge is scared shitless of what? let's explore that Know guns, know safety, know liberty. No guns, no safety, no liberty.
you're scared because israel's actions and the actions of the israel lobby and its toadies in congress are confirming hitler's opinion of jews down the line somewhere, this is all gonna have consequences it's the consequences you're scared of
if you listen to this song... listen a couple levels down... we used to listen that way... the girl that wrote this song probably listened to it a million times herself, trying to figure out what she was saying... .
And yet you feel compelled to add post after post after post, like a moth drawn to a flame.

who could blame her? Christine could always pull YOUR posting privileges -- in the interest of preserving her sanity!! I've got an idea: why don't you go debate at http://www.libertypost.org and tell Goldi-Lox that she should shut down her forum because debate isn't necessary?? if christine pulls the plug --in interest of preserving her sanity...

the problem is that christine seems to recognize that i've got a valid point of view... so she tolerates me, up to a point... i post here because i got nothing else to do . these music people dont have much to do when they're touring... they do the show, they're wired... if you think they're mental cripples because they're entertainers... the truth leaks into them, then it leaks out again in their songs
