I am, btw, ticked off big that the Tubman $20 is delayed. Not that I dislike the Jackson portrait. I'm a major fan of keeping around reminders of bad times in history, so that we don't repeat mistakes. Unlike Regressives who want to erase history so they can exploit your ignorance. ( hey! Didn't this policy kill forty million people in Southeast Asia? I remember,'cause I'm old and was paying attention. The Draft, eh? What do you mean they don't teach that in school? ) In fact John Kerry got on my very short list of people I will kick in the nuts really hard if I meet them in person by denying the massacres in Vietnam after Nixon pulled us out then Congress screwed the South Vietnamese. And, re: the Tubman $20, I believe that they want to wait for the next gen security gizmo to save money by not doing it twice. Too bad. We were promised, we should get it. The Bad Orange Man should order his minions at Treasury to immediately get the job done, Now! And use the design above. It's perfect, it makes a bold statement you won't get with a sterile portrait, and the gun will trigger all the right people! Just do it Donald! Btw, the pistol should be a 1851 Colt Navy. It's what Harriet would have used. (Message edited by Aesquire on June 02, 2019) | ||

We realized with our first kid that we needed to get kinder, gentler “driving words “ and came up with “Silly Billy”, instead of, say, “F***face”. | ||

Read “The Iron Mistress” for a bit of back story on that knife and its owner, and his life and death. | ||

there is never a reason to carry a knife. Never a reason to carry a knife? A knife is one of the two most useful things I carry every day. The other is a cotton bandana. I can't begin to count the uses I've had for both. Many have even been life saving. G | ||

    How is this not blatantly racist? I would surmise that it's OK for whites to date whites though. At least that will keep the race pure. Oh, crap! We've become the KKK again! | ||

What they don't teach anymore is that the difference between the German National Socialist Worker's Party and the Soviet Socialist International Communist Party is not that much. The Master Race b.s. Is there in both, but the International Communist Party lies about it. Antifa is a subset of Soviet Communism, and they are working the racism, as seen above, to exploit the Black Americans. The leaders are rich white men, sound familiar? The details of ownership of the "means of production" aka who owns industry, is minor. The Soviets, remember, had 30 more years to destroy all private property, so the Nazis had only nationalized the big things by their fall. There were still private stores and farms under German rule, but by the 1960's, if they still were in power, they would have been much closer to absolute State ownership. The biggest difference is the National types wanted to conquer the world under their flag. The Internationalists wanted to conquer the world under a legion of flags. Ultimately under one, as seen in Eastern Europe. But most of all they were competing for power and even more intolerant of each other than anyone else, since both knew how evil their religion is. | ||

Aesquire, what I think is super interesting about that Antifa flier is that dating white being the "propagation of hatred, oppression, homophobia, sexism, transphobia" is that black and Hispanic communities are NOT supporting of homosexuals and transsexuals as most of them not out to their close friends and neighbors, usually living double lives. | ||

What the hell is "ableism"? | ||
| Aesquire |
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ableism discrimination or prejudice against individuals with disabilities https://www.mic.com/articles/121653/6-forms-of-abl eism-we-need-to-retire-immediately The above editorial has, IMHO, a mixed bag of righteous, correct complaints, and phycho-babble feces. I'll let you choose which is which. Another definition of "abelism" is NOUN discrimination in favor of able-bodied people. Which may be an evolutionary norm. I mean, it you buy the explanation of programming by your genes, you would be more attracted to people who don't have visible "defects" like missing limbs or an uneven walk. That would be advantageous to propagating the genes with the best chance of survival/success. If you don't buy into programmed behaviour, then you probably assume this attitude is learned behaviour, with the condemnation or acceptance being your conscious or unconscious prejudice. Real unstoppable insult dialect in "explaining" that you suck because of unconscious prejudice. How can you defend attitudes you don't even know you have? So, is "abelism" real? Yeah, sorta, to some degree, for some people. Is it a Sin? Is not thinking about other people's problems a Sin? Modern lefty self righteous jerks will say so to tear you down. Biblical principles perhaps would warn against sloth in thought and consideration. As a crippled guy, I apparently don't have the politically correct attitude. And I'm good with that. | ||

And I thought Ableism was the opposite of raising Cain. | ||
