Narr said...: It was, IIRC, Malcolm Muggeridge back in the 1960s who declared the counter-culture to be Roundhead ideas in Cavalier dress.

Here in late imperial America, we have Puritans acting like Savages.

A month ago I almost posted- go ahead and doubt if you choose-- to ask which traditional holiday would be dropped in favor of Juneteenth; my guess was Columbus Day, and guess what,
two senatorial imbeciles (R for retard) have introduced a bill to do just that.

Inga said...: I wonder if Hannity is in the least bit interested in the deaths of the three American troops who had a bounty on their heads, put there by Trump’s good friend Putin.; 7/1/20, 9:31 PM

bagoh20 said...: Now, this is what community looks like:

Antifa comes to Long Beach, but the local Crips ain't havin it.

Antifa is running out of friends real quick. Maybe Blacks are finally getting tired of clueless White assholes assuming Black people need your lame ass to save them. They survived the passage, hundred of years of slavery, Jim Crow and decades of other Democrat hobbies. I don't think they need some basement dwelling kids fresh from classes in Race Relations 101 coming to their neighborhood to rob the few small business they depend on everyday just so they can go back home and vote for more Democrats.
Off ya go. Bye Bye.

My fellow melanin enhanced Americans, use your power for change - real change. Vote for the only party that ever gave you Presidents that actually improved the lives of Blacks in this country, instead of the party of slavery, that gave you Jim Crow, millions of Black aborted babies, and the destruction of the Black family. You can do your ancestors proud by voting for the ideas that freed them. "What have you got to lose?"

You are now, officially, a member of the party that supports harvesting the organs of babies while the little babies hearts are still beating (Per Planned Parenthood under oath testimony)

You must be so very, very proud.; 7/1/20, 10:58 PM

Austin Hospital Withheld Treatment from Disabled Man Who Contracted Coronavirus
After doctors withheld treatment including nutrition and hydration for six days, Michael Hickson died leaving his wife and five children behind.

And the mainstream media is totally silent about the criminal death of this Black man.

Milwaukie guy said...: Last week, I related the story of the Hamilton billboard to my pro-BLM daughter. I was offering the anecdote to underline a previous point made to her about how the Antifa-etc. militias will provoke the formation of right-wing militias. Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.

This morning she said that Dad has "decided to side with racism, fascism, oppression, white supremacy, white terrorism and violence." BTW, she's 37, not a kid.

So, today, I'm like Wow.; 7/2/20, 12:28 AM

Kyzer SoSay said...: One of the first things I built with my TIG welder was a trellis for my wife to put a clematis by the side of the front porch. Wifey had other trellis' prior but they were cheap, very soft metal (I don't think steel) and bent in the wind thanks to the drag and weight of the leaves. One trip for stock and 30 minutes of measuring, cutting, and sizing later, the hood went down and the amps went up. Few minutes of strategic depositing later, it was all finished. Didn't bother with paint, just a cold galvanizing spray that kinda sorta worked as I kinda sorta expected. It'll still take a decade or more for any of those welds to rust out. She replanted this spring cuz last one died (possibly my fault), and it's gotten huge. Definitely catches the wind (it actually directs airflow into the house when only the screen is shut) and yet the trellis hasn't budged. A simple project but a good start for a new welder, and the result is beautiful.; 7/2/20, 1:53 AM
JPS said...: A few days ago a reporter asked Kayleigh McEnany whether Trump believes it's a good thing the South lost the Civil War.

And I was thinking: Perhaps some of the activists don't believe that anymore. I mean, the ones who vandalize memorials to the Massachusetts 54th, or Colonel Hans Christian Heg, or various abolitionists, and when called on it explain that those honored were fighting to shore up a white supremacist system.

To be glad the Union won is to believe the United States was worth preserving, and that there was a morally significant difference between the Union, for all its flaws, and the Confederacy. If you're a DNC staffer, or an NYT editorial staffer, who thinks a 4th of July celebration at Mount Rushmore celebrates white supremacy, maybe you can make that argument, but is your heart really in it?; 7/2/20, 2:01 AM

Just finished watching it. Heartbreaking, but also infuriating. I want to hug that Dad, but also want to scream on his behalf at the people that failed him and his son. I'm having trouble going to sleep thinking of the pain and horror that Dad is experiencing. Saying prayers for him, his son, and the rest of the family.; 7/2/20, 2:38 AM
rhhardin said...: I hand-sawed up and hauled to the back fence a 25' smooth sumac tree that had committed suicide for no obvious reason except that as a child it had leaned south to catch the sun and it finally caught up with the frail ball roots.

Unexceptional except the entire job didn't cause any bleeding. Usually there's some poke that happens.; 7/2/20, 7:26 AM

Michael K said...: Hilarious idiot Inga found this great quote on her unread link.

“Almost everyone at the rally was wearing a mask, and it’s really a testament to how effective masks are in preventing the spread of this disease.”

You have all seen these giant rallies where everyone if wearing a mask, right ? Right ?; 7/2/20, 8:20 AM

Not at any Trump rallies, duh. The rally the author speaks of was NOT a Trump rally. Try reading and following links, senile coot.; 7/2/20, 9:36 AM
Inga said...: This is the Bellingham rally the author speaks of, NOT a Trump rally, obviously.

“More than 5,000 people gathered for a Solidarity Rally Saturday afternoon, June 6, at Maritime Heritage Park in Bellingham to bring the community together “to make a stand for the injustice of a failed system,” according to organizers.”

Covid outbreaks being traced back to parties and social gatherings, not protests

Idiot Inga, that's because several states are not allowing tracers to ask if a positive person attended a protest. LOL; 7/2/20, 9:50 AM
Michael K said...: Not at any Trump rallies, duh. The rally the author speaks of was NOT a Trump rally. Try reading and following links, senile coot.

I guess Inga, the fool, meant the rallies in DC and Chicago where everyone obeyed the law and wore a mask.

Have you considered doing stand up?; 7/2/20, 1:01 PM
Inga said...: Idiot Alison, that is not true in Wisconsin. Covid tracers ARE asking about protest attendance.

In Wisconsin the contact tracers ARE allowed to ask about protest attendance. I know this for a fact. It’s a good part time job that can be done from home.; 7/2/20, 1:31 PM
Inga said...: “I guess Inga, the fool, meant the rallies in DC and Chicago where everyone obeyed the law and wore a mask.”

OMG, you really ARE senile, sorry for giving you a hard time regarding your many odd misreadings of simple straightforward links.

Consider shunning her now, totally, forever, if she holds no hostages like grandchildren. It's hard, but she's a write-off.; 7/2/20, 7:48 PM
