spartan max2 Posted October 30, 2019 #102 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I'm grateful we live in a nation where you can be the president without any fear of repercussions. Imagine someone trying to boo Xi at an event in China lol. They would be in prison. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people think they booed him today, imagine what they'll be doing next November if he gets re-elected Democracy is not elections; it is 10,000 people standing up and saying, "Hey!

Doug1029 Posted October 30, 2019 #115 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Beware of the Confederate "heroes." Around here Stand Waite is remembered as the last fighting Confederate general to surrender to the Union. That is true, but he was also a racist whose troops murdered 33 black farm workers at Wagoner, Oklahoma. He was a Cherokee fighting in a Cherokee civil war that coincided with the America civil war. His troops killed opposition Cherokees who supported the Confederacy, making Waite a traitor to his own cause. Ironically, after his surrender, the Union kept his cavalry unit together, making them into tribal police. The Cherokee Light Horse and Choctaw Light Horse were assembled from Stand Waite's cavalry. They and the Texas Rangers are the last surviving Confederate regiments. A similar story applies to Nathan Bedford Forrest. His troops slaughtered black soldiers and Ft. Conger. These were people being trained by the Union. I guess that makes them a legitimate military target, but Forrest's troops preferentially killed blacks. After the Civil War, Forrest went on to create the Ku Klux Klan. Robert E. Lee was a truly great man. Although he led the Confederate armed forces, a crime for which he could have been hung, after the war, armed with nothing more than pen and paper, he helped bring the country together again. Had a guerilla war started in the South, America might well have dissolved into a bunch of banana republics. That we still have a United States of America is in large part, his doing.

Not dissing but reaffirming. If she did all the stuff you mention, her descendants will have all kinds of significant reasons to be proud of her and tell funny and exciting and heart breaking and inspirational stories about her. I only knew one of my great grandmums, and she did not nearly so much, but she was an awesome person to know as a kid. I have passed a few stories on to my wife and kids. I was saying that doing exactly those things will keep America great. Talking about it or holding up a sign,, well not so much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in rural Northeast PA. Full of poor people with bad jobs. Full of Trump supporters with their signs in front of their dilapidated houses. I don't drop longtime friends due to their beliefs, but I am sure wary of who I become new friends with. The people are still poor, and their jobs still suck, but you can certainly get the cult like vibe pulsating through this area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh the FICTITIOUS Great Grandma who's fictional family were proud that she held a sign up behind the podium at an historic Trump Rally... well she can do whatever I want her to like when she absailed down a skyscraper to raise money for endangered newts but fell off near the bottom, broke both arms + 3 ribs and still walked 10 miles through the snow to the shops (stores) to get medicine for her sick next door neighbour.... But of course it's obvious that Making America Great Again requires more than holding up a campaign sign at a political rally... but you are determined to try and make a counter point about it rather than just take it as OBVIOUS...
