Truly a stupid holiday; but if there must be one, switch it to a better time of year like maybe around Columbus Day (best weather of the year in NYC).
Francis was wrong about no other holiday than Xmas and Washington's Birthday (now renamed) honoring an individual. Old Christopher is now in the dog house, so there should be no problem in renaming October 12 to something else.

Always liked him. My favorite quote of his "Agencies that commit atrocities must be abolished." Referring to the orcs.

There are those who practice the religion of science. It is impossible for the rest of us to reliably determine when they are on solid ground with their pronouncements and when they are not.

You want more filthy language, here you go -- shit, piss, fuck, goddam, asshole, assholes, fucking, fucked, fucker, fuckers, fuckees. Motherfucking, motherfucker, motherfuckers. Happy now?
How'd you get the name Obnoxicated, BTW? You think obnoxiousness is a good, positive quality -- is that it? Believe it or not, most people don't.
"Something titillating" -- lots of that stuff in Tumblr..... all I'm after is good conversation and useful information, and I really don't care where I get it from. Whaddya got?

Are you referred to the fag article that BTP posted here yesterday?
If so, only one poster questioned whether BTP was that way, and that was probably in jest. Another (I) asked him not to post crap like that here, as it seems to me to be pretty far afield of the stated purpose of this forum. NN actually defended BTP, urging BTP to keep posting whatever he wants to post.
What are you talking about?

Dear Dr. Scott:
Respecting your August 1 inquiry calling attention to my often expressed admiration for General Robert E. Lee, I would say, first, that we need to understand that at the time of the War between the States the issue of secession had remained unresolved for more than 70 years. Men of probity, character, public standing and unquestioned loyalty, both North and South, had disagreed over this issue as a matter of principle from the day our Constitution was adopted.
General Robert E. Lee was, in my estimation, one of the supremely gifted men produced by our Nation. He believed unswervingly in the Constitutional validity of his cause which until 1865 was still an arguable question in America; he was a poised and inspiring leader, true to the high trust reposed in him by millions of his fellow citizens; he was thoughtful yet demanding of his officers and men, forbearing with captured enemies but ingenious, unrelenting and personally courageous in battle, and never disheartened by a reverse or obstacle. Through all his many trials, he remained selfless almost to a fault and unfailing in his faith in God. Taken altogether, he was noble as a leader and as a man, and unsullied as I read the pages of our history.
From deep conviction, I simply say this: a nation of men of Lees calibre would be unconquerable in spirit and soul. Indeed, to the degree that present-day American youth will strive to emulate his rare qualities, including his devotion to this land as revealed in his painstaking efforts to help heal the Nations wounds once the bitter struggle was over, we, in our own time of danger in a divided world, will be strengthened and our love of freedom sustained.
Such are the reasons that I proudly display the picture of this great American on my office wall.
Sincerely,
Dwight D. Eisenhower

"When you're recognizing people, you're coming together, and hopefully building a relationship that goes on past the community awards breakfast," says Evins Nicholson, Carolina African American Heritage Foundation. http://abcnews4.com/news/lowcountry-and-state-politics/ben-carson-tim-scott- attend-mlk-breakfast-in-myrtle-beach

Strangely, there's no mention of any word from the Carolina European American Heritage Foundation.

Presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson was reportedly the keynote speaker today at the SC Tea Party Coalition Convention. Richard Cash, former U.S. Senate candidate from South Carolina, gave the invocation, first noting the wonderfulness of the day -- MLK Day! -- then lamenting that the Founding Fathers were more concerned about their own posterity than that of their negro slaves. (Not his actual words, that's my take on Cash's invocation. -- SG)
Richard Cash wants to stop abortion in South Carolina -- that is undeniable. But in 2014, when Cash was a candidate for the US Senate, and was asked whom he voted for (for U.S. Senate) in 2008, he WOULD NOT ANSWER! The reason he wouldn't answer is undoubtedly that he voted for Lindsay Graham. But if Cash and just 1 in 7 of the Republican voters in South Carolina had voted for the REAL conservative Bob Conley, Lady Graham would unemployed today. And Cash would have an anti-abortion ally in Washington.

By Mike Scruggs on Jan 19, 2016
January 19 will mark the 209th anniversary of the birth of Robert E. Lee in 1807, one of the most respected and revered military leaders in American history. That respect and reverence extends over most of the world, wherever military leadership is studied. Lees birthday is an official state holiday in Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Florida. It was also an official Georgia holiday until this year, when it will become an optional holiday. Other Southern states honor Lee during Confederate Memorial Day (NC, SC, KY, and LA), Lee-Jackson Day (VA), and Decorations Day (TN) during the year. Several states combine the celebration of Lees birthday with the birthday of civil rights leader Martin Luther King in January.
There is no question, however, that the celebration of Lees birthday has suffered because of changing political agendas, although these political agendas are based on questionable political expediency, false historical narratives, and increasing ignorance of history.
Lee did not favor slavery before, during, or after the Civil War that took the lives of over 700,000 military personnel and civilians from 1861 to 1865. He believed the institution of slavery was a corrupting scourge to both slaves and slave owners. He freed the slaves he inherited from the estate of his wifes father, George Washington Custis, probated in 1858, but not before making sure the legacies of the will could be accomplished, and the emancipated families had sufficient circumstances, training, and experience to earn a living on their own in late December 1862. But facts and sound reason do not count for much in todays hysterical legislative environment. Political correctness has created a coercive and unjust civil rights environment comparable to the Reconstruction era of 1865 to 1877 and the Salem Witch Trials of 1692.
The pointless horror of the shooting deaths of nine African-American men and women by a 21-year-old white man was tragic enough in itself, but politicians have managed to magnify the tragedy into an excuse for the cultural genocide of anything Southern. Thus we have a hate and vengeance driven political agenda amplified by political cowardice that is sweeping not only the South but the whole country. Only the stupidest politicians can believe that the result will be racial understanding and healing. Besides cultural destruction and increased tension, it will only result in more bad government.
Americas crisis does not demand more vote-buying schemes and ignorant demagoguery. It does not demand sacrificing our freedom, our culture, and true history to coercive government, anti-Christian multiculturalism, and cowardly political correctness. What we need are leaders with courage, character, common sense, and wisdom. That is why we need to remember Robert E. Lee and many others like him as examples to ourselves and our posterity.
Following Lees death at his home in Lexington, Virginia, on October 12, 1870, former Confederate President Jefferson Davis gave a eulogy of Robert E. Lee at a Memorial meeting in Richmond on November 3. This was probably the largest gathering of Confederate generals and officers since the end of the war. In the course of his speech, he gave this praise of Lee:
This good citizen, this gallant soldier, this great general, this true patriot, had yet a higher praise than this or these; he was a true Christian.
John Brown Gordon, Confederate Lieutenant General and later Governor of Georgia and U.S. Senator had this to say about Lee:
Intellectually, he was cast in a giant mold. Naturally he was possessed of strong passions. He loved the excitement of war. He loved grandeur. But all these appetites and powers were brought under the control of his judgment and made subservient to his Christian faith. This made him habitually unselfish and ever willing to sacrifice on the altar of duty and in the service of his fellows He is an epistle, written of God and designed by God to teach the people of this country that earthly success is not the criterion of merit, not the measure of true greatness.
We would do well to remember his elevated sense of duty and honor. Writing to one of his sons, he advised:
Duty is the sublimest word in our language. Do your duty in all things .You cannot do moreyou should never wish to do less.
When told that his chaplains were praying for him daily, he responded:
I can only say that I am nothing but a poor sinner, trusting in Christ alone for salvation.
Responding to public praise, Lee said;
I tremble for my country when I hear of confidence expressed in me. I know too well my weakness, that our only hope is in God.
What modern American military leader would give this charge to their troops?
In General Order Number 83, April 13, 1863, he wrote:
Soldiers! We have sinned against Almighty God. We have forgotten His signal mercies, and have cultivated a revengeful, haughty, and boastful spirit. We have not remembered that the defenders of a just cause should be pure in His eyes; that our times are in His hands; and we have relied too much on our own arms for the achievement of our independence. God is our only refuge and strength. Let us humble ourselves before Him
To a friend who condemned the North at the end of the war, Lee said,
I have fought against the people of the North because I believed they were seeking to wrest from the South dearest rights. But I have never cherished toward them bitter or vindictive feelings, and I have never seen the day when I did not pray for them.
Our generations would do well to heed the passionate exhortation of Rev. Robert L. Dabney, an eminent theologian and scholar who had been Stonewall Jacksons Chief of Staff. In his commencement address to the students of Hamden Sidney College in Virginia on June 15, 1882, he made these remarks.
It behooves the New South, in dismissing the animosities of the past, to see to it that they retain all that was true in its principles or ennobling in its example. There are those pretending to belong to this company who exclaim: Let us bury the dead past. Its issues are all antiquated, and of no more practical significance. Let us forget the passions of the past. We are in a new world. Its new questions alone concern us. I rejoin: Be sure that the former issues are dead before you really bury them! There are issues that cannot die without the death of the people, of their honor, their civilization and their greatness. Take care that you do not bury too much, while burying the dead past: that you do not bury the inspiring memories of great patriots, whose actions, whether successful or not, are the eternal glory of your race and section; the influence of their virtues; the guiding precedents of their histories. Will you bury the names and memories of a Jackson and Lee, and their noble army of martyrs? Will you bury true history whose years are those of the God of Truth?
Lee himself might have counseled us by the words of 2 Timothy 2:3, quoted by Jefferson Davis at Lees funeral:
Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
Finally, our own honor demands that we respect and revere the memory of our fallen heroes, including those who served beneath the Southern Cross. These words from South Carolina Confederate veteran, journalist and poet Henry Timrod (1829-1867) in his Ode at Magnolia Cemetery should move our hearts to resolve:
Stoop, angels, thither from the skies! There is no holier ground
Than where defeated valor lies, by mourning beauty crowned.
