I'm the most atheistic atheist that ever atheisted but this isn't accurate at all, at least in Europe. Hard as it is for people to conceptualize this the Church was the most progressive element of society probably well into the Renaissance. Everyone was loving horrible back then, the Church usually ended up being less atrocious than the rest of society simply by virtue that the Church was were all the "ivory tower eggheads" ended up.

Much as Voltaire and the Enlightenment gang are my heroes they certainly weren't above a little slander to further the cause and the Church ended up getting unfairly blamed for a lot of stuff.

From Philadelphia's Largest Cinco de Mayo Celebration Canceled in Fear of Immigration Crackdown posted by freeper Kid Shelleen

It's a story from the local NBC station.

the article posted:

One of Philadelphia’s most prominent Latin American events, El Carnaval de Puebla, has been canceled this year because of what one organizer called “the severe conditions affecting the immigrant community.”

The annual parade through South Philadelphia has taken place in late April or early May for the last decade and is the city’s largest Cinco de Mayo celebration. Organizer Edgar Ramirez said as many as 15,000 gather from as far as New England and Chicago.

The decision to cancel El Carnaval, Ramirez said in an interview Friday, was “sad but responsible” in light of the immigration crackdown by federal authorities.

He said the entire Mexican-American community, both those here legally and those undocumented, are disheartened by reports of large-scale arrests and detainments by officers with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. This week, ICE announced that 248 people in Pennsylvania, Delaware and West Virginia are now in federal custody awaiting deportation after a two-week sweep.

Okay, let's get into some fact checking. I'm just going to copy and paste Wikipedia here, because come the gently caress on, freep. Communists? Really?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_history_of_Mexico#French_Intervention posted:

Events leading to conflict against the French in Mexico include debts Mexico owed to powerful European nations, especially Spain, Great Britain, and France. These nations supported European influence in Mexico as an economic, as well as a militaristic advantage. The United States had been engaged in its civil war and was therefore not able to attest to its Monroe Doctrine, a government policy that dictated that the North and South Americas would not be influenced anymore by European powers.

The presidential terms of Benito Juárez (1858–71) were interrupted by the Habsburg monarchy's rule of Mexico (1864–67). Conservatives tried to institute a monarchy when they helped to bring to Mexico an archduke from the Royal House of Austria, known as Maximilian of Habsburg (wife Carlota of Habsburg) with the military support of France, which was interested in exploiting the rich mines in the north-west of the country.

Although the French, then considered one of the most efficient armies of the world, suffered an initial defeat in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862 (now commemorated as the Cinco de Mayo holiday) they eventually defeated loyalist government forces led by General Ignacio Zaragoza and enthroned Maximilian as Emperor of Mexico. Maximilian of Habsburg favored the establishment of a limited monarchy sharing powers with a democratically elected congress. This was too liberal to please the Conservatives, while the liberals refused to accept a monarch, leaving Maximilian with few enthusiastic allies within Mexico. Maximilian was eventually captured and executed on the Cerro de las Campanas, Querétaro, by the forces loyal to President Benito Juárez, who kept the federal government functioning during the French intervention that put Maximilian in power. In 1867, the republic was restored, and a new constitution was written that, amongst other things, confiscated the vast landholdings of the Catholic Church (which had been acting as landlord over half the country), established civil marriages and forbade the participation of priests in politics (separation of Church and State).
Emphasis added. Cinco de Mayo started as a regional celebration of an early military victory. America does indeed celebrate it more than Mexico does. I actually think that's kinda funny. The Mexican state in which the battle occurred isn't even anywhere near the border, it's in the middle of the southern part of the country.

Is freep confusing that battle with the Mexican Revolution and Emiliano Zapata? That happened fifty years later, guys.

Anyway, freep thinks that mass roundups of browns is a perfectly fine idea.

ICE roundups of LaRaza thugs during Cinco de Mayo events would be a great way for Trump to put the roundup of illegals into high gear!

Fact check: scroll up. The battle happened during the US Civil War, not after.

To: BenLurkin

I’m ok with Trump not supporting those. Any countries that do want those things won’t be following Trump’s lead. I’m ok with that too. I have a feeling that after 4 years of Trump setting an example, a lot of those countries will decide that a leader should be in front and not staring at your rear end from behind like Obama. And the US will be the leader of the free world again (free as in “rights”, not “stuff”).

The campaign to delegitimize President Trump and the office of President is a dangerous game that the Liberals are playing. It could bring the republic to an end.

Matt Bracken’s trilogy is almost prophetic in what could (would?) happen.

So, who is Matt Bracken and what trilogy is that? Google says that it starts with a book titled Enemies Foreign and Domestic, but the author doesn't seem to have a wikipedia page. Must be someone low profile, right? Well, the author does have a page in another wiki. From RationalWiki's page on Matthew Bracken, with emphasis added:

quote:

Matthew Bracken is a patriot from the Free Republic forums and former Navy SEAL who has written several self published novels.

- Enemies Foreign and Domestic
- Domestic Enemies: The Reconquista
- Foreign Enemies and Traitors

Bracken's novels are part of a recent glut of self-published apocalypse fiction incorporating libertarian, populist, survivalist, xenophobic and ultra-conservative themes and rhetoric. Bracken is strictly a conservative, although due to the genre he is writing in his books are unfortunately read by the same people who eagerly devour the obscure novels by John Ross, Neo Andersen, Boston T. Party, David Crawford and James Wesley Rawles. The typical reader of this sort of fiction is someone with libertarian leanings who doesn't entirely "get" libertarianism (especially its non-violent aspects, its liberal positions on social issues, and its wonky roots in Austrian economic theory), and conflates it on several points with militarism, nationalism and nativism.
[...]
Summary

Each of his novels has pretty much the same plot, with the details rearranged for each one:

- Enemies Foreign and Domestic: the lie-beral government orchestrates a false-flag shooting spree at a stadium as an excuse to take away everyone's guns.
[...]
Ahahahahahahah great, thanks guys. At the bottom of the page is a link to this 132 page thread in TFR dating to 2012. I see plenty of familiar names on the last few pages, so many of you probably already knew this. Apparently I did also, as it'd been marked read up to a point for me.

Moving on, they don't actually understand the genesis of the phrase during the goddamn Cold War.

quote:

To: MarvinStinson

I remember some foreigners sneering that we Americans call our president “The Leader of the Free World” as if he is emperor. At that time, long ago, I had never heard of that term or used it myself. I said that I an those I associate with don’t refer to him that way but that it was probably something the media created. See, if the POTUS is the Leader of the Free World and the MSM is a co-leader with the POTUS than the laudatory term flatters THEM. The MSM swaggers and brays and then real Americans are accused of imperialist narcissism.
So now that they don’t serve the “LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD” according to their “It’s my baseball bat, I’ll just take it and go home if I don’t win...” thinking, they have been demoted. That’s what all the MSM raving is about - they lost their imaginary crown. Long ago they started believing in their own ability to create false reality and they lost it.
Ironically, the MSM also likes to brag that they are “the conscience of the people” when they act like conscience-free sociopaths. The MSM took up residence in their own heads years ago and they become enraged when they bump into people who prefer reality.

I feel like the Cartoon thread does a lot of good from-the-vault posts, and for whatever reason we don't do that much here. So with that in mind I bring you some Freep Deep Cuts. It's 2003, "In Da Club" is blowing up the radios, and a young TTFA is in Iraq wondering wtf is going on. During all this, the US Supreme Court is deciding on Lawrence v Texas. LvT takes us back to 1998 (when "Intergalactic" is blowing up the radios) and cops responding to a false report of a guy with a gun bust into an apartment in Texas and find two gay dudes having sex on a couch, and arrest them for the crime of sodomy. In the end, the courts ended up upholding that what adults do in the privacy of their home is not the business of the state, finally striking down adult sodomy laws nationwide; couples celebrate in a wave of sodomy the likes of which the US had not seen since VJ day. And Freep was ready to bitch:

2003, Freep Reacts to Lawrence v. Texas

The Supreme Court, easily defeated with "that's just, like, your opinion man."

quote:

IMO the government ought to stay ought of consensual sexual matters, even if they are disgusting.

BUT

This was not a constitutional decision, this was a personal opinion. And the court has no right to issue personal opinions about what should and shouldn't be law.

Today the justices did what Roe v Wade did, they took the right of states to make their laws (the tenth amendment) and trashed it, because they PERSONALLY thought there ought not be such laws.

I agree completely AND I think the government should stop spending so much money for AIDS research. It's pretty obvious how you get it and how you can avoid getting it. I believe that if smokers started demanding that more money be spent on research for a cure for lung cancer everything could be put in perspective.

If these folks want to adopt this behavior, no law will stop them but nature has a way of doing that in time.
If common sense doesn't appeal to their behavior, laws won't work either.
Let them use their free will but let's stop listening when they demand a cure for their stupidity.

Spoke too soon:

quote:

Thank you for posting this editorial by Andrew Sullivan. It was a very good read.
I was following his logic and understanding his point of view until deep in the article he glossed over what "homosexuals really do." Then he lumped the total range of gay sexual conduct in with his "what heterosexuals do" argument. When I understood that, his fundamental intellectual dishonesty was made apparent to me. As much as I hate to admit it, the author started spinning and engaging in deceptive tactics. Shame on him.

One problem that I have with male homosexual relations is their total fascination with anal sex and the ingestion of excrement and drinking of urine. All one has to do is pick up one of the free rags the gay community publishes in Los Angeles or San Francisco. The practice is wide-spread. You may read short stories, or personal advertisements galore. The gay rags are filled with them. (To think that these rags are available in stacks for any child to pick up and read is another pet peeve of mine. But this is not the time or place to rant about gay publications).

Without getting into detail – God forbid – the ingestion of excrement is a proclivity that is utterly disgusting. It is highly offensive on its face. It is a highly risky behavior in terms of spreading many types of disease (not just STD's). Such conduct is obviously "off the charts" and "beyond the bounds" of normal human sexuality.

It is deep into the realm of pathological behavior . . . There was a secret psychological profile on Adolph Hitler that was written during World War II and later was published by the OSS. It described his "addictions" in that regard in great detail. However, allegedly, only with women who were prostitutes. The addiction was cited as strong evidence of his moral depravity and his insanity. (I believe it is still available on the Internet)

And even worse: Some people even could write pages and pages about Secret Satanic Rituals. Marquis de Sade material, and even beyond that. But I decline to do so.

Just my humble opinion. Sorry if I offended anyone – I did not mean to offend. My intention was only to enlighten people who might be unaware.
