Deplorables won? No more kneeling during the anthem? Oops, they're kneeling...

Someday, people may actually learn that the Republican Party during the Civil War, promoted beliefs held by the Democratic Party today. And vice versa.

But I am not holding my breath.

The Pubbies kinda sorta remind others of it whenever the old "GUESS WHICH PARTY THE KKK STARTED UNDER/FREED THE SLAVES/BEGAN CIVIL RIGHTS" nuance-free argle bargle comes up.

but that's about it. Just like the now dead "all lives matter" disposable slogan, it's only rhetoric used to shout over other people exposing the verity of this country's multilayered fuckeries from speaking truth to power.

In the modern lexicon, mansplaining has come to encompass all types of condescending explanations by know-it-all men.

Only ones that SJW's don't like though.....it's ok when the correct color/religious man does it because if you criticized that it would be RACIST!!!

LOL the term is meaningless slang just like most of the buzzwords and phrases on the left.

 

[coati]

Yeah. I said no such thing.

Start at the top of the thread, read all of the posts by everyone... pay attention to who said what ...and then get back to me.

Right, that was another Deplorable who said that.

You are the Deplorable who said the uppity basketball players should not disrespect the flag representing the army that defeated the Confederates, despite the fact that the issues of the Civil War still linger today.

They protest during the flag ceremony specifically because there are still improvements to be made. Tough shit if you think that is "idiotic".

No....because that's a lie.

Mid 19'th century Republicans were liberals who fought for liberal principals, most of which we have achieved.

They were NOT socialist like the Democratic Party today.

19th century Republicans were not just closer to modern Republicans than modern Democrats but well to the right of them as well.

Abe Lincoln would be an alt-right libertoonian by today's standards.

Let us re-adopt the Declaration of Independence, and with it, the practices, and policy, which harmonize with it. Let north and south -- let all Americans -- let all lovers of liberty everywhere -- join in the great and good work. If we do this, we shall not only have saved the Union; but we shall have so saved it, as to make, and to keep it, forever worthy of the saving. We shall have so saved it, that the succeeding millions of free happy people, the world over, shall rise up, and call us blessed, to the latest generations.
--October 16, 1854 Speech at Peoria

What constitutes the bulwark of our own liberty and independence? It is not our frowning battlements, our bristling sea coasts, the guns of our war steamers, or the strength of our gallant and disciplined army. These are not our reliance against a resumption of tyranny in our fair land. All of them may be turned against our liberties, without making us stronger or weaker for the struggle. Our reliance is in the love of liberty which God has planted in our bosoms. Our defense is in the preservation of the spirit which prizes liberty as the heritage of all men, in all lands, every where. Destroy this spirit, and you have planted the seeds of despotism around your own doors.
--September 11, 1858 Speech at Edwardsville

That is the real issue. That is the issue that will continue in this country when these poor tongues of Judge Douglas and myself shall be silent. It is the eternal struggle between these two principles -- right and wrong -- throughout the world. They are the two principles that have stood face to face from the beginning of time, and will ever continue to struggle. The one is the common right of humanity and the other the divine right of kings. It is the same principle in whatever shape it develops itself. It is the same spirit that says, 'You work and toil and earn bread, and I'll eat it.' No matter in what shape it comes, whether from the mouth of a king who seeks to bestride the people of his own nation and live by the fruit of their labor, or from one race of men as an apology for enslaving another race, it is the same tyrannical principle.
--October 15, 1858 Debate at Alton

Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it.
--April 6, 1859 Letter to Henry Pierce et al


...I am exceedingly anxious that this Union, the Constitution, and the liberties of the people shall be perpetuated in accordance with the original idea for which that struggle was made, and I shall be most happy indeed if I shall be an humble instrument in the hands of the Almighty, and of this, his almost chosen people, for perpetuating the object of that great struggle.
--February 21, 1861 Address to the New Jersey Senate

Radical right winger even by modern Republican standards.


You can stop with the lies about the USA now.

Speaking truth to power LOL!!!

Who is this "we" you claim to be a part of?

I regularly see you piling on when you think that you can be part of some sort of mob but I don't really ever see you leading the charge.

Do you actually fantasize that anyone would notice if you left?

Well que, the "we" does not include you. And yes, we make fun of you and those like you. It really shouldn't be as easy as it is. But that isn't our fault.

You are the one quoting me. In several threads today alone. Dont want to see my remarks? Use the ignore function and dont respond or quote me. Chances are real fucking good that I will mostly ignore you. You...are a game...nothing more. Laugh at the Republican.

Either one stands up against hate...or you condone it. Really is simple

It all comes back to this.

 

[Salacious_B_Crumb]

It does take some balls for college kids to do it cuz the school can pretty much do what they want with them. Still a lame form of protest IMO and disrespectful but whatever. Give 'em credit for caring anyway. Won't help them in the Dance tho. As it is right now they'll be in but be lucky to see the sweet 16.

I suppose that the fire code wouldn't really let them burn a Confederate flag at the game but it just seems to me that would have been a more apt protest.

It would have been but alas they can't do that at mid court. Would be really cool to see one get fouled, walk up to the line, pull a confederate flag out of his shorts and light it up before taking the shot.
That's a protest I could get behind. Some flair. Panache.
Kids these days.

False dichotomy.....hypocrisy is always an option.

As I said before, you and most of the left LOVE hate and regularly advocate racism and sexism....as long as it's the correct kind directed at the correct demographics.

Keep posting your simplistic slogans/fallacies, I'll keep embarrassing you with them without you ever seeing it.

I agree w most of this. But it isn't lame. Look at how much press it got. People are talking about it across the country. Got the university on their side. Got their coach backing them. Point made. You tell me a better way of protesting and getting their message heard.

Slogans are effective because they don't require a lot of thought to produce or to ingest them

Now that Colin Kaepernick check has gotten a huge check from the NFL how does the Nike slogan about him stand up? What, exactly, did a third-string quarterback "sacrifice?"

There was no actual sacrifice before his Nike paycheck and his payout from the NFL shows there is no gamble in playing the aggrieved victim.

Protest by its very nature is disrespectful of the status quo. It's a matter of finding a forum that allows you to be provocative without being violent.

 

[nowisthetime]

Have these Deplorable hypocrites on here declared the rebel flag to be treasonous and anti- American?

I'm waiting, and I regret that I will be waiting in eternity for that day.

Down here, only the inferior backwoods trash jock it. The rest of the civilized South shuns them.

Nonsense. There was nothing even remotely disrespectful about the march to Selma.

Just because free speech allows you to be disrespectful doesn't mean that you have to be disrespectful. It's a choice.

You have no clue how much the local governments regarded the march to Selma as being disrespectful to the local status quo..

You have no idea what I do or do not not have a clue about. I was in the Deep South from 1966 to 1972. I personally saw the signs announcing when blacks were allowed to use the public pool which was (of course ) immediately drained and refilled thereafter. I was one of the handful of white kids that integrated an all-black school. Long after Brown vs. Board of Education, btw.

Just because someone takes offense doesn't mean you are being offensive. There's a difference. To repeat: there is nothing even remotely disrespectful about the march to Selma. Given what they were actually marching for at that time I don't think it would have been inappropriate had they chosen to be disrespectful but that just wasn't their choice. My point is that being disrespectful is a choice not a requirement of protest.

BFD to your "credentials". Blacks were called uppity back then for violating local laws and customs, and they are being called uppity and "idiotic" right now for doing the same.

My guess is that you were just as much on the wrong side of their right to peacefully protest back then as you are now.
