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 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. Resist propaganda, Support strict constitutional adherence!
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. Resist propaganda, Support strict constitutional adherence!
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. Does a Pope shit in the woods?

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

anyhow, the hasbara has failed, the israeli american empire seems to sink into deeper shit every day, and it's all becoming too obvious to deny it's hard to say what christine's agenda is... maybe she doesnt have one doesnt matter... the truth is creeping out

You're an attention-whore. Any sufficiently advanced troll is indistinguishable from a genuine kook.[5] (Note Arthur C. Clarke's Third Law.) ___________________________________ lead.and.lag has an unhealthy fixation on christine's personal life which is sufficient to disqualify him/her/it from any polite dialogue with us. We should ignore "him" for the duration until chris tires of "his" heel nipping and again banishes "him" to "his" private asylum-mastubatorium,where "he" can fixate on her from afar....

Sounds to me like you're speaking of Global Warming/Peak Oil agendists there. the continual barrage of chicken littles

about this chicken little stuff... myabe we can start with areas of agreement... can we agree that there are people in the world that think they're entitled to run the world? can we agree that this entitlement is based on their belief in their racial superiority? can we agree that, so far and despite their supposed superiority, these people have not demonstrated enough sense to pour piss out of a boot? can we agree that production from individual oil wells peaks, then declines? can we agree that production from fields of oil wells peaks, then declines? can we agree that production from entrie countries peaks, then declines? can we agree that all this implies that global oil production will, someday, peak and then decline? can we agree that co2 warms the atmosphere? can we agree that burning a gallon of gas produces about 20 pounds of co2? can we agree that humans are putting over 30 billion tons of extra co2 into the atmosphere every year? can we agree that if we put all the co2 back in the atmosphere, we will eventually return to a tropical climate that will melt the ice in greenland and antarctica? can we agree that there's enough water locked up in that ice that, if melted, sea level will rise by 70 or 80 meters? can we agree that a 70 or 80 meter sea level rise would not be a good thing for "business as usual"? so it looks to me that there's enough real chicken little stuff to worry about without people manufacturing more chicken little stuff like chemtrails and hysteria about "global extinction events" like the gulf oil spill and fukushima. now then, these people who are convinced that they're entitled to run the world... what if they believe the evidence of peak oil and global warming? what if they're especially vulnerable to both peak oil and global warming? what if they staged an event in response to peak oil and global warming... a truly despicable event, but one that would serve as a pretext to grab control of the remaining oil before oil shortages cripple their support system? what if that staged event was just another in a succession of bad ideas? ...ideas that dont prove their superiority, but instead prove how haywire their basic philosophy is?
#78. To: All (#77) (Edited)
the worst part of it is this: peak oil and global warming would not be nearly so "chicken little" if we were not wasting so much time and money and good will in defense of peole who are demonstrably sick... driven nuts by thousands of years of goofy philosophy if instead we were using those resources --the time, the money, the will-- to deal with peak oil and global warming, we'd have a lot better chance of avoiding chicken little events but the phony chicken little scenarios are confusing some people so badly that they are eliminated from the "will" pool... they waste their will and their brains and their concern on shit that is destructive... their preoccupation with this phony stuff destroys the consensus needed to muster the will... ...which is exactly what it's intended to do
#79. To: All (#78) (Edited)
so we degenerate into whining and carping and bickering... we're ineffective because we cant agree on what's "real"... and that's exactly the way these assholes have planned it... the assholes who are convinced they're so powerful, so superior, they can create their own reality
