Another awesome racist poo poo-filled list of posts from my cousin :smithsad: "America is calling" is eerily familiar to the whole "Wake Up WHITE PEOPLE!" Stern used to play from that insane white supremacist(this was waaaaay back) "Black people agree with me, checkmate libtards" How about if you don't like people expressing their first-amendment rights you get the gently caress out? (Full disclosure: I think burning the flag is an assholish/provocative thing. Though I do think some people who take this form of protest have actual grievances with the US) "OH LAWDY OH GAWD IT IS SO TERRIBLE TO BE WHITE!" ugh gently caress right off. Free-Market happens, right-wingers are furious and confused. I love the comment from my other cousin(OP's dad) in which I hope he at least being a bit snarky. Yeah I think King George would be laughing his rear end off at us displaying the flag of a traitorous nation. Besides that, who give a gently caress what he would think. But again, I think half of it is taking the piss. Sigh, this old chestnut which I hoped would never appear on my timeline, but welp. "Could it be anymore OBVIOUS!?!?!?!?!" One was a General of the Confederacy, a regime based on preserving their "heritage" of slavery, and on the left there's Grant. I really don't know about this poo poo, but given the above posts I'm not willing to give it any benefit of the doubt. "I may reside in a Northern state, but I came from the South" No you didn't you little pecker-wood. You grew up in rural Ohio.

hamster_style posted:Interesting. Thanks for the info! the important thing is that everyone was racist back then. everyone. like .01% of white americans honestly believed that black and white people were perfectly equal. even people who were die hard abolitionists weren't quite sure. that's just how times were but grant was never a legit bonafide slaveowner, if he did own someone it was in the more common servant or this person is more-than-just-hired help. the majority of americans who owned slaves back then owned less than five slaves, and usually worked for a living. sort of like a small business slave owner, except you owned a human who slept in your garage or something. it's just as likely that grant inherited a family member's slave than he went out and paid for someone but there was a small and wealthy class of slave owners who owned the majority of slaves. the one percenters. not many people owned more than fifty slaves but those who did, owned a lot of them, and were rich as hell. lee was most definitely in this category, and the number of rich southerners who didn't own or directly control a single other human is so small as to be irrelevant as anything other than a historical curiosity. meaning that this macro is garbage, which we all knew of course, but you know, history and all e: also, lee's wife's family had a confirmed reputation of being... more than friendly with their slaves. too friendly. lots and lots of mixed race people on those plantations. boner confessor fucked around with this message at 06:24 on Jul 18, 2015 |

Anywayu, lets start the pain train. THIS WEEK IN LL 101! "Judges I disagree with weren't forced to recuse themselves. Meanwhile, judges I do agree aren't allowed to recuse themselves? DOUBLE STANDARD!" Remember the American right to shoot black people in a church. quote:Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker on Monday will announce his entry into the Republican presidential primary race — a move that will finally answer the question whether he can turn high expectations into top-tier status in the crowded field. Guess who has a cruu-uuush. Isn't it funny how Democrats say they think differently, while Republicans claim they always thought this way and were just misunderstood? quote:Hillary Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, have been ordered to give depositions in a civil case investigating the pair’s growing email scandal. Sure, every other case has found nothing, but THIS TIME... quote:Saw this idiotic meme yesterday and thought people needed to understand how completely full of Liberal bunk it was. Almost all of that is completely false. There is no gently caress you big enough for this poo poo. Whereas conservatives can tell instantly that they're all drug peddling rapists. Remember how we protect the president by handing guns to every whackjob who wanders by? Its almost as if there is some group that keeps trying to stop those laws being enforced. But I'm sure no private organisation would ever try something like that. A rich person? Arguing that people should be well off? IMPOSSIBLE! quote:Top reasons women gave for having abortions (women could pick more than one) according to the most recent info: Meanwhile, people who value individual freedom will leave it to the women. "Government didn;t function absolutely perfectly? Then how can they take down the flag of the people who they beat? Checkmate, Libruls!" Yes, protected from, and thus killing, how many people? quote:It has been more than a week since the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage in all 50 states, and already those with religious objections to same-sex marriage are facing punishment. Look at all these people who have been punished. There's that couple that published a lesbian couples details and told people to threeaten to kill them! And...others, in time! "I never hated another persons skin color until I hated Obama. This must be his fault!" quote:In response to the Supreme Court’s ruling (5-4) that homosexual “marriage” is a civil right, the Catholic bishop for the diocese of Tyler, Texas said it was an “unjust” law “contrary to the moral order” and “not binding in conscience,” adding that Christians “must now exercise our right to conscientious objection.” tl:dr - WHINY WHINY WHINE! quote:The fundamental problem with energy-efficiency mandates and subsidies is that they are based on two absurd premises. First, they assume that consumers are not fully interested in saving money—hence, government intervention is required. Second, they expect a bureaucracy that has served up an $18 trillion national debt to transform into Scrooge McDuck when it is time to count energy pennies. Products aren't up to standard? It must be the GOVERNMENTS FAULT! The first black president needs to be jailed! Also, we're totally not racist! Yeah, the real problem with Trump is he's just too Liberal. Its amazing how Secret Servie protection became an unnacceptable extravegance, only for one case. Yeah, the billions the Koch brothers pump into his campaigns have NOTHING to do with it. So important, it was an aftertought. quote:Aetna Life Insurance has been sending some unfriendly letters to residents in Washington, D.C. In their mailbox are notes informing them that they may be losing the plans they purchased through the D.C. Health Link. The free market failing to cover people? Must be the fault of OBAMACARE! Almost as if they recognise that shes going to be president. quote:Launched after the 9/11 attacks under the Patriot Act, the ICE program known as Secure Communities required immigration agents to have access to the fingerprints and criminal history of any immigrant booked in jail. That requirement came after studies showed immigration agents failed to identify 86 percent of all illegal immigrants released from jail. Conservatives standing up for Big Government dictating to the cities. Totally consistent. They really hate so much that people actually pay to listen to her. Hey look, 3 cases where the murderer was let off, and one where they were arrested hours later. Can you guess which is which? quote:Hillary Clinton outlined her economic agenda today at the New School in Manhattan, and attacked Uber. The ridesharing service did not reply to Clinton directly, but the company did post a story on its blog about how the service helps “senior mobility.” Clinton, a grandmother, is 67 years old. Because there's no way June could get rides with drivers who had fair wages and benefeits. They couldn't even find a figure to try and attribute this horseshit to. Hmm, I know there was some involvement with the gays and the Nazis, involving a pink trianlge. Was it about persecuting white christians? Surely that must have been it, right? quote:A U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) study to understand why lesbians are fat has now cost taxpayers over $3.5 million to-date. $3.5 Million? Thats got to be at LEAST half of all the money in the US, right? nothinggetspastthisguy.jpg quote:For a union built on democracy, activist teachers are wondering how the American Federation of Teachers could have possibly endorsed Hillary Clinton for president without them knowing about it. Its almost as if the union was trying to endorse the actual president in order to curry favor. Yeah, remember how the established religion begged the Romans to let Jesus go. quote:A shocking new expose’ video has caught Planned Parenthood’s top doctor describing how the abortion business sells the body parts of aborted babies. Are we really surprised they couldn't see how fake this was? Stay tuned for part 2 when I feel up to it.

My favorite Robert E Lee one I'm seeing now is "Did you know Robert E Lee was against slavery and thought there was a moral imperative to end it?" Which is absolutely true. They just leave out the second half of what he was saying, he thought there was a moral imperative to end it just as soon as the superior white race finished uplifting the godless Africans and bringing them fully into Christianity, which he estimated would take about forty more years.

Anti-political correctness is the new political correctness. It seems to imply that the correct way of living is to allow people to be as brashly racist, sexist, or generally bigoted as they'd like.

Goatman Sacks posted:McCain was a poo poo pilot that was on his fourth plane at the time. Trump has a point. I think this is a better opportunity to stand in support of prisoners of war. With all the support that we give to POWs, it's sometimes easy to overlook that the circumstances where someone might be captured aren't necessarily the most heroic. Like, we want to imagine that every Vietnam POW was valiantly defending some bunker full of orphans until he got knocked unconscious. The reality is there are going to be people who got lost, people who were careless, people who decided to desert and some people who just took a poo poo in the wrong place at the wrong time. I think it's more important to focus on their conduct while prisoners because that's when they're most vulnerable and when they most need to be able to count on support. It's lovely that McCain crashed four planes, but it's important that while prisoner he didn't need to worry about that. If we do make a distinction between good POWs and bad POWs, that will be used as a psychological weapon against prisoners. McCain's behavior while a POW was not perfect, he did about as well as anyone could expect, and he deserves respect for that.
