Talibama, or the Alabama Jeeeehaaad!
I’ve also heard “Talibornagain” somewhere or other.
Not a poor choice of words at all. A very adept one, for someone who’s blowing a dog whistle.
All right, point taken. And taken. And taken. Call it a draw ? 
I don’t agree that the split from the British Empire counts, but let’s not go there. So, okay, definitely one event, maybe two.
I don’t think that qualifies as a “tradition”. Hell, I don’t think that qualifies as a habit.
Furthermore, even if a) both events count, and b) two events constitutes a “tradition”, is hasn’t been a particularly successful one, now has it?
You mean the story about how they want to sue the President for not enforcing federal marijuana laws in states that have legalized it for medical or recreational use? Because States Rights! except when we say otherwise.
War Between the States. I swear, get north of Oklahoma and education just goes to shit.
I have never understood that phrase. There were more than two states involved.
… since I picked Sarah Nitwit to be my running mate.
My sarcasm detector is on the fritz so I can’t tell if that was an actual question or a snark that whooshed me—so forgive me if that wasn’t a ‘real’ question.
If it were a cataclysmic breakdown with multiple states fighting each other it would have been ‘the war among the [many individual coalitions of] states’. But because there were only two sides fighting each other, it was 'the war between the [two groups of] states.
I think you mean the Late Unpleasantness.
Are you guys sure you’re not talking about the Secession War ?
The secession has ceased for sure.
The “Post-Antebellum Interval”
“Back in the day of slavery, slaves were kept in slavery by denying them education and opportunity while providing them with their basic needs … Not by beating them and starving them. (Although there were isolated cases if course) Basically slave owners took pretty good care of their slaves and livestock and this kept business rolling along.” ~ Jim Brown, Republican Congressional candidate for Arizona’s 2nd district.
But wait, there’s more. …
“It is my sincere belief that over entitlements are a means of em-slaving (sic) the people by robbing them of opportunity while taking care of basic needs.” …
So slaves didn’t have it so bad, but providing people today with basic sustenance is as bad as slavery. Got that?
Does that mean we can flog them?!
I think slavery might be the new rape. Why oh why do they keep digging ?
It is strangely as if they don’t really WANT to get elected. Only in the most backwater rural district full of inbred, ignorant hicks would this kind of shit work. I’m guessing the candidate’s district consists mostly of cacti, and people who are dumber than those cacti.
Help, help, I’ve been emslaved by my entitlements!
Now you ain’t gonne get to be edumacated. Ah well, at least you still have your helmet and your shouldermapads.
Never go on the field without these things on or you could get fiercely killed.,
You guys are cracking me up tonight LOL!
