Ok. Posting PMs publicly has to be considered rude. I don't want to think that simple dialogue is a mistake. But again and again I am proven wrong. Each time this happens you make SA more and more or an echo chamber, and likely make yourself more and more ignorant. A mistake on my part, and one i hope i dont make again.

Some of you are basically left wing freepers (i hope its a vocal minority), and this is coming from a proud life long athiest socialist.

Yeah exactly. I'm not asking for everyone to conform over night, but at this point if your reaction to people like Kim Davis is feeling that her obstructionism and a rally featuring the confederate flag, a speaker from the League of the South and several signs equating the Supreme Court to ISIS and calling AIDS god's punishment is "lol, they both think they're right, aren't these partisans funny. Unlike me, I can always see both sides." then that says something about you.

The period between 1917 and 1936 or so was the closest the US has ever come to a Second Civil War - hell, at times, it actually was a war. You had at least four full-on armed insurrections by anarchists, communists, or trade unionists, the military deploying tanks, artillery, aerial bombers, and lethal chemical weapons against American citizens, a veterans' rights march on the National Mall being cleared out with tanks and flamethrowers, and literally hundreds of lynchings, pogroms, and other attacks against blacks, immigrants, and the organized left. There are parts of rural Appalachia where archaeologists still occasionally dig up old weapon caches hidden out there by guerrillas in the 20s. It's really hard to impress on people just how dangerously unstable the country was for a while there - nothing since even comes close to it, not even the worst of the 1960s uprisings.

Because this is America, black people caught the worst of it, of course. Nobody actually knows how many people were massacred in Greenwood here in Tulsa, but it was in the hundreds at least. They were just dumping bodies into the river at one point, and there are multiple mass graves known to exist.

Their comparing Kim Davis to Rosa Parks got me thinking... have there been any actually successful protests by conservative groups? I've only ever seen them make ineffectual, homophobic and lovely displays that cause no progress in any direction except against them. The Tea Party was never really a 'protest' except in the minds of the people on the absolute lowest level, so that doesn't really count.

I mean, the KKK I guess, but I was more thinking of protests not based in uncloaked, blind hatred. Maybe even something that enacted, or at least envisioned, positive change.

I responded to DoughtyOne's call the other day and threw in an extra 10-spot on my regular Monthly. That felt good.

Well, just now I threw in another sawbuck... for A Very Special Person.

My best friend of over 30 years passed away two weeks ago of cancer on top of Parkinson's. It was a terrible way to go.

I miss him tremendously. So this 10 is for him.

But one thing ya gotta know -- he was a dyed-in-the-wool Lib Democrap. God Bless His Little Heart, he was a Joe Biden fan. I kid you not.

So it would toast his kippers to know that I donated 10 bucks in his name to FreeRepublic.

Which is, of course, why I'm doing it. I can do no less for my best friend. He was a good man, politics notwithstanding.

E-man, I love you. Rest In Peace, Dear Friend. I miss you.

P.S. Sorry to say, Biden doesn't have a chance in Hell. Just sayin'... :-)

I like the guy bitching about a woman who would want to go "dutch," because it's super reasonable for a first date. Some guy's can be real assholes about entitlement "I bought you dinner, why won't you go on a second date/gently caress me?" I find it funny though because I guarantee you if that person and the FReeper ever got married, he would probably bitch about his spoiled and entitled wife if she asked for money.
