The last one had it all lol thanks

Finding Gone With the Wind anywhere on the Internet a few years ago was a hopeless task. I finally did find it, can't remember where.

Mark Twain, the American's American was actually banned in libraries in America. Some of his works, like Huckleberry Finn.

Twain was against slavery. He told an interesting story of a slave who had undergone a baptism, dunked in the water and so forth, and when he came up for air he said something like: "Some day some gemmun's n* gwine drown!" What that tells me, and should tell others, is that the slaves, supposedly driven by slave masters who cared nothing for them, KNEW they were valuable property to their owners. In fact, in the Deep South prior to the Civil War, it was a worse crime to kill a black than to kill a white. There were laws on the books providing for the protection of the slaves from abusive masters. But this was concealed.

As was the informative book about slavery in the South, published in 1854, written by a Christian pastor, abolitionist, from a New England state, Nehemiah Adams "A Southside View of Slavery" who compares the northern abolitionist's view, as represented by Harriet Beecher Stowe in Uncle Tom's Cabin as totally representative of the institution, and states that this would be analogous to comparing every voyage of a mariner to that of Robinson Crusoe.

Intentionally concealing the truth, so as to ...well, at this point, I will just say, the 'motive is ulterior'.

I suggest replacing traitor Abe and big gov Teddy with Thomas J. and Andrew J. in the first meme.
Loved the motorcycle and Farrah. 👍 Thanks, OUC!

His claims are all ridiculous. I cheated a little by presenting the article in pdf format from the site, without the "Brownstone" header. After he claimed it was fake, the CDC wouldn't whatever. I asked him if he was implying that Jeffrey A. Tucker was a fake, or a liar. His response was, "How do you know it was Jeffrey Tucker?", to which I then send him the link including the Brownstone header. Have not heard back since

My point is, if he would have gotten the article with the Brownstone header he would have attacked Brownstone for being right winged whatever. I'm not sure he even knows who Tucker is, but he defended him becasue he questioned his name being attached to the original article.

We've got two of these Never Trumpers in our offee group, fortunately they don't come everyday. One doesn't vote for president, the other claims he "voted for Trump three times with crossed fingers", then he bad mouths him in the very next sentence. Now he's complaining about Trump slecting Gaetz, "Gaetz is a rapist". I asked him why Gaetz was never charged with a crime, which is a democrat SOP. No response.. It just keeps going..... We're having a little fun with it, keeping these guys excited. Oh, yah, they're both married to flaming liberals, and both of thier wives are nice as can be.

Remember Stalin's 'Russification' of the outlying regions of minority elements of the Soviet Union?

Need I say more.

I seconded that!

Yes, I see. ++++1.

I actually have a problem with others, including government, telling ne who should be or can be my neighbors.

This statement was what I was referring to, and it appears I jumped forward a few leaps, and you thought I was talking about you:

"However, IMHO, in our country it seems to begin its current manifestation in the roots of the abolitionist movement in the late 18th century although it was a counter point to race based slavery."

But you're right, it is a sensitive subject, and the truth has been concealed from us for about seven or eight decades now. Even Disney's "Song of the South", which I thoroughly enjoyed as a child, was, if not banned outright, 'concealed' from the youth of the country. A certain part of the American populace felt the film showed Negroes in a bad light, showed them as childish. And we can't have childish appearing people in positions of authority.

I wasn't specifically referring to you. Sorry, I didn't make that more clear.

I know the difference between "Human" nature and "HumanOID" nature, it's those caught between that have me confounded.

Or so Hunter hopes.

Skynet by any other name will be just as rotten and lethal.

"The lies and FABRICATIONS, especially those concerning history, that have been promulgated by these people, have shall we say, hardened my heart. " Understood. There was definitely a racial discrimination problem that was addressed by the civil rights movement of the '50s and '60s where a era of "content of character" superseding race was to be ushered in, but got betrayed in the '70s by the movement getting run over by "affirmative action". That morphed into political correctness which morphed into what is now DEI which has nothing to do with content of character. There shouldn't be a mystery why it isn't working.

"Are you saying that my statement that referring to reality and truth as racist, is abhorrent to me, is nonsense?" No, I'm saying your assumption that I think reality and truth are somehow racist is nonsense. Reality and truth can't be racist because they are what they are in the natural world and we have no say over them, A=A.

This is the introduction to a topic I posted on another forum in January 2015:

Sometime late in the 19th century science became divorced from reality, specifically in regard to the physics of the submicroscopic universe. Man's ability to reason and argue causally was disowned by man himself.

Although Galileo knew Aristotle was in error in much of his physics, he admitted that had Aristotle know, 2,000 years ago, what was known in Galileo's time, Aristotle would have agreed with him.

The Renaissance man of science (the philosophers) were beginning to distinguish between what they called "natural magic" and "supernatural magic"---thus learning relationships between "natural" causes and their effects. Aristotle, although he understood that change was effected by some kind of "cause" imperfectly grasped temporal causal relationships in change. Even motion to the ancient Greeks was not fully understood. Galileo's contributions to the concepts of motion cannot be overestimated.

These early experimenters enhanced the notion of causality, which most in quantum physics, and may I say, climatology, appear to have lost.

I think it imperative to read the works of the original masters of science, reason, and experiment; such as Frances Bacon, Isaac Newton, Michael Faraday, James Clerk Maxwell, and Galileo, at any rate.

Following are some gems of wisdom from Galileo used in refuting those who resorted to the use authority and fallacious reasoning in determining cause-and-effect relationships.

The topic was called "Reading Galileo". But since I am not a moral philosopher, nor interested in it, I was unaware of these other philosophical threads that Mr. Donway, you mention in the beginning of your book.

Thanks.

Me dino was an Alabama Corrections Officer in a maximum security prison between 1982~~2003 trained not to use excessive force among countless other things.
What I saw was unnecessary excessive force who I suspect became very unprofessionally frustrated with a 70-year-old man who looks older than 77-year-old me.
When that old man said he was willing to go to jail, the first thing out of my mouth would have been he would have to be handcuffed. Such is how I was required to transport inmates to a hospital, a courthouse and so forth.
There was no reason to suddenly seize that frail old man and to throw him down on his face.
If old retired me dino was ever out of no where treated like that, I would not only sue the cop but his entire local, state or federal department who is responsible for to train the thug how to properly deal with the public.
Ka-ching!

I checked it out. Yep, a New Wave group, but the only hit I remembered was the 1983 "Burning Down the House" which always seemed to me to be a good thing to do when the House of Representatives was dominated by the Leftist-Democrats!!

'Fighting fire with fire'---my favorite line!

Here's your ticket, pack your bags
Time for jumpin' overboard
Transportation is here
Close enough but not too far
Maybe you know where you are
Fightin' fire with fire

Wasn't Talking Heads the name of a Rock Band?

I bought the kindle version. Seems that it would be an interesting study.

I'm not sure you agree with me or not. Are you saying that my statement that referring to reality and truth as racist, is abhorrent to me, is nonsense?

Perhaps you didn't understand the reasons, the relationships connecting premise and conclusion. I didn't make it clear.

I'm sure a great deal of its notoriety comes from the time when eugenics became a fashionable discipline among people like Margaret Sanger, et al., and when the quest for a national identity seemed worn out by the First World War. Hitler, humiliated by the 'Peace' Treaty, reparations, and the "Black Horror on the Rhine', picked up on it as a means of returning to a more glorious past, and actually returned to a more inglorious babarism. But that's a different story.

The Jewish intellectuals, of course, following World War II, and their need for Zionism and the quest for a Jewish homeland, used it in almost a similar way that the Jewish Left did, to energize the gullible and naive black folk of America to bring about changes---fundamental transformations---in America, by placing blacks in positions of authority.

The lies and FABRICATIONS, especially those concerning history, that have been promulgated by these people, have shall we say, hardened my heart.

Isn't it interesting how words can be used by the demagogues to conceal their real motives?

Idiot box. Good term. When my middle grandson was about ten or eleven, I referred to the TV as the 'boob tube', which he found extremely funny!

Bwahahaha! Eat failure, all you crooked talking heads!
