      Well, since you won't engage, since anything you say is like a fart in the wind, I guess I can just ignore everything you post, every link because it is, as you stated, "let it go & live with it". Even moreso since you aren't even saying but linking/letting other people do your speaking for. You have convinced me that not only are you just a town Cryer sheep, repeating everything you hear, but you can't form cogent statements and/or arguments to support what you say.

      So thank you Jym. You and me are the last 2 people even trying to have a give and take exchange and you just convinced me that it is, well stupid of me to even try. So, so long and thanks for all the fish.

              You guys are not the only ones. It is just that his rhetoric is so wrong it would take a novella to address his garbage. Blaming the new GOP house for all the past mistakes is how the left operates. Smoke, mirrors and deflection are the rule of thumb for them. I'm sure they think that inflation and sky high gas prices are President Trump's doing.

              He lives to look behind and needs to assess blame, never offers suggestions, bringing years old events in an attempt justify his beliefs. That never fixes a problem it perpetuates it.
              Nobody's head is planted so firmly up his ass that his brain is oxygen deprived and he can't see anything but his own SHIZNIT!

              To quote Candice Owens, "you can't move forward if you are always looking behind you". What I believe to be a brilliant quote from a very smart woman.

                  This does not bode well.


                  I'm not a religious fanatic by any means, however there is a significant number in the world who are and some of these people can cause damage to regional and global stability.
                  It's bad enough in the middle east conflict between Muslim and Jew without giving affront to the Christian faith. Which is the likely result, with more protests in our Nation as a result.
                  Look at what's already happening here in DC. Hundreds of thousands of either side marching around the Capital demanding support for one religions group over another.
                  In a Nation that supposedly separates Church and State.
                  It would almost be comical if it weren't for the hate, the division, the distrust, the threats of genocide for the others that each side brings.
                  Those divisions spill into American life, we're seeing it happen.
                  The end result? Use your imagination.

I have asked, and never given any sort of answer. Blaming the new GOP house for all the past mistakes is how the left operates.[COLOR="#FF0000"] yes, cause when the GOP says things like removing the Dobbs decision and does so, who else is there to blame? Or when the head of the party wishes to use the DOJ to literally go after his enemies, in a fully weaponized manner. Should i point to the Dutch? [COLOR] Smoke, mirrors and deflection are the rule of thumb for them. yes, because when you act like an authoritarian, speak like an authoritarian, and wish to do things like an authoritarian. It might be because you are a duck. No wait, what'sthat word? I'm sure they think that inflation and sky high gas prices are President Trump's doing. so if trump was responsiblefor that, then Biden is responsiblefor lowering them, by your logic. No, trump is responsiblefor many things and will see multiple days in court for it.

                    He lives to look behind so who won the 2020 election? Tell Scott that. and needs to assess blame, and what about the house and senate GOP wanting to do an in depth investigation abiut where covid came from? never offers suggestions wow. Just wow. Normally, i get people telling me to shut up and my ideas would never work. Here you're saying i am the direct opposite., bringing years old events in an attempt justify his beliefs. those are called examples, proven fact that can'tbe disputed. It is differentthan the "evidence" used to overturn the election, cause that was just words and dreams. That never fixes a problem it perpetuates it. I really feel for you John. You have everything backwards. You are literally going against not only the truth, bht even your own parties known commodities. You are projecting so much that it has gone around to the other side. A circumnavigation p4ojection.

                        Yes, go send your children to private school where a teacher needs absolutely no training or testing to teach the children.

                        But funny, you automatically point to this being a liberal point, even the article hitting the hot points of those expected key words, but doesn't go in depth to who initiated the lack of holiday or why. It is just the knee-jerk reaction to automatically blame a political party that in word and by action who not do that. Remember, those liberals want to teach everything, from the dirty history of how white people bought slaves and such.

                            Such a pathetically narrow view. White people bought slaves. As if they were the only ones.
                            Look to places like India, China, N. Korea, Pakistan, Indonesia, Nigeria, Turkey, Bangladesh or any of the others of the 94 Countries that still practice Slavery. (according to the U.N.)
                            Slave economy drove all civilizations through history from Egyptian, Roman, Grecian...Even North American Indians practiced it long before white men arrived. All the way through to 2,500 years later when, at least in this Country, Slavery was abolished. By white men.
                            The same white skinned men who sailed to the gold coast and bought natives from the local (non-white) slave traders. Yes, history is dirty with facts like slavery and genocide and terrorism.
                            But to limit it to "how white people bought slaves" shows you are a racist, singling out one group by skin color as somehow bad, yet all the rest are good regardless of facts.
                            If you want to teach facts, teach all the facts. Not just the ones you use to foment division and hatred.

                                Classic strawman. Don't look at me, look at everything else that the other person is doing....

                                In this context, I was only talking about US history, not the world. It is far easier to confine the history lesson to the 250 years as a cojntry(or 400+ years as a colony). So if you want an in depth report on slavery, starting from first established countries/people to today, that will take a few days to create.

                                You are wrong. Economies that live by one product or service, in this case slavery, are shortsighted and die quickly, as they cannot sustain changes(like supply and demand) as well as outside factors. Slavery in the ancient world was an accepted practice till it wasn't. And even as the establishment of codified countries that had a ruling bodies to govern them, slavery was never the principle of their economic systems.

                                But 2 wrongs doesn't make it right. While the act of slavery was not necessarily against the rules and laws of one country does not give it a pass regardless of who's colour skin one is. One could argue that only because the white man established the commodity of slavery did those dark skinned people sell other people into slavery. And no one is trying dismiss the various repugnant act of slavery, genocide and terrorism, but it is a disservice to those acts when they are not the focus of this conversation.

                                Lol... deflect much?

                                No, I am merely confining this towards US history and not world history. The mere fact that I bring up and fully acknowledge that white people have done and continue to do horrible things to people that are not the same skin tone, paints me as the opposite of a racist. I want this country to accept that it has done genocides(trail of tears, and general treatment to the native peoples that were here before) and enslaved other people. That is our history, as dirty as it is. But we must accept that and move on, learning from those mistakes, not bury them and never look upon them.

                                When you support people who ban books, outlaw gender identity, or rail against the idea of Crutucal race theory(CRT), you are perpetuating the same things as you falsely accuse me of doing. Banned books are the best books. I don't care what gender you wish to be, as you life doesn't effect me in how I live mine. The US has done horrific things to its own people, slavery is but one of them.
