You are truly a troll, a moron, an idiot, a fool, and just an all-around jackass.
That would mean octopus is in the correct thread, wouldn’t it?
Sweet, simple Monty, please point on the doll where that mean flag touched you. It’s funny how you are outraged by a flag but real problems aren’t pit worthy.
Somehow I have a hard time imagining anyone intends to open fire upon the USS Harry S. Truman in international waters citing ‘intention to commit piracy’.
Hey, jackass; why didn’t you happen to pit the killer in Nice before he killed those people?
And to think I used to think you were a decent person that I had misjudged.
Look, moron. He didn’t pit the guy in Nice because that hadn’t happened yet. But he did actually pit the thing that inspired him: racism. The guy in Nice killed people because they were different than him.
That you would fail to get that I could understand. But then to belittle victims of child abuse in your attempt to attack the guy who rightfully called you out?
I’m done seeing your filth. Goodbye. May whatever god you believe in have mercy on your soul. You will need it.
I just find it amusing you defend the flying of the Jolly Rodger as a memento yet every display of The Confederate Flag riles you up.
It’s the pit. You might not have noticed but the deranged sort that frequent it aren’t known for sensitivity. And what does God have to do with any of this?
"It’s like a traffic jam when you’re already late
Cause black lives matter blocked the interstate
Its like 10,000 sticks when all you need is a match
to light the burning cross in your black neighbor’s garden patch."
Don’t you think?
Of course that’s not what you said earlier as to why you’re complaining, so we’ll just continue to consider your honesty a tad lacking. The jolly roger isn’t an actual flag used by racists to defend and glorify racism, so your so-called point, like you, is a failure.
Oh, they finished the investigation then. Could you please link to it. I’d like to read it.
It’s taken this long for you to realize that? The rest of us caught on quite a while back.
Not striving to be a hive minded, wanna be psychic, holier than thou dickhead is neither moronic nor trolling. Thinking the leftists on this board are capable of nuanced thought might be the former adjective.
Of course, he also says that *nobody *was ever complaining about the Confederate flag till about a year ago.
Wait a minute…where’s he getting his conservative talking points from? I thought the line was that slavery had nothing to do with the Civil War?? Something about blah blah state’s rights, northern aggression, something like that.
I’ll don’t know about Monty, but I’ll defend the flying of the Jolly Roger. RAISE IT BITCHES!!!
FTR, I sail under the Jolly Roger because, away from here, I’m a troll.
And because, before Betsy Ross, it was as close to a national flag we had.
No, we had the 1775 Continental Congress Flag (now called the Grand Union flag) before that. That was basically the Stars & Stripes design, but without the stars – the British Union jack design was in the upper left corner canton where the blue field with white stars are now. (Quite similar to the designs of the flags of a couple dozen British Commonwealth countries.)
It was eventually replaced by the so-called “Betsy Ross flag” because it was too similar to the British flag. The story goes that one of the first times it was raised by US forces, the British officers who saw it thought that it’s close resemblance meant that the colonial rebels were indicating their willingness to remain as part of the British empire (i.e., surrendering). So it was replaced by a new design.
Tariffs! You forgot the tariffs!
Now’s a good time to refer to David Barton, that pseudo-historian who was called in to “consult” on Texas history texts. In the Blind Pig Finds Acorn Department, let’s see what he actually wrote:
Then he cited the actual historical documents proving his point–and probably used “indisputably” a few more times. The State Board of Education ignored him & recommended teaching that the Causes of Secession were States Rights, Tariffs & That Other Thing.
Hey, if we can waste time talking about the Jolly Roger, why not this? Yes, the Battle Flag was revived as an anti-Integration emblem; it stands for racism. (Most Texas commemorations of Our Six Flags use the actual Confederate Flag. Of course, most contemporary Six Flags images involve roller coasters.) But Secession is a dead cause (no matter what anyone claims) & the Old Confederates have no power. Of course they don’t want to admit that their ancestors tried to destroy the Union (1) to protect their right to own human beings or (2) to protect the rich Southerners’ right to own human beings. They lost.
“For example, a plaque in the Texas State Capitol declares: 'Because we desire to perpetuate, in love and honor, the heroic deeds of those who enlisted in the Confederate Army and upheld its flag through four years of war . . . '”
April 12, 1861 – May 9, 1865 – four years?
Sure sounds like four years (plus) to me.
