This can't possibly be real??? If so, we've got real problems.Quote:

As more of the talents contracts come up for renewal more will be shown the door.
ESPN represents everything that is wrong with the PC culture.
ESPN becomes parody of itself with silly Robert Lee decision

Small chunks of the USA are reverting to some form of mental dementia. Something in the water? Something in the air? Is it Russia or Korea? Who knows, but what I do know is that lunacy seems to taking hold on both coasts and in the press and that common sense isn't so common anymore.
Ditto, as far as the TV station(s) go, but I'm watching O.J.: Made in America right now and it's quite good.Quote:

I wonder though, what will come next when they get done with this statue thing...?

I'm waiting for the protests at Mount Rushmore to get Washington's face blown off that thing to begin. Mark my words, it'll happen. Although, it'll be after August. Gotta give ALL the bikers a chance to get out of town. Don't want anyone getting beat up.Quote:

The reason some people are upset about the Confederate Monuments are that they were put up in a time period many decades after the Civil War. Many of them were put up as a counter symbol of the Civil Rights Movement, during the John Crow era. They aren't part of the Civil War history.
Of course it is likely that some of the people are probably protesting just to protest.
Let's be honest, most people are not upset about the monuments, most people could really care less.
This is much more about the fringe left and media attempting to throw any obstacle they can in front of Trump. This is just another version of the Russian unicorn. If this was actually an issue with most people they would have been protesting the past eight years or longer.
Trump's win energized the White Supremacy Community (how's that for a euphemism?).Quote:

Now, where were all them nasty Crackas when Big O. was in the house? Y'know, when they really had something to act up about? Oh yeah, I forgot - they're cowards.
I thought I saw a resemblance there!! :roll:Quote:

Wasn't that many years ago, in southern towns I visited, that you could still see "colored only" bathrooms at county courthouses.
Have the "alt-right" folks been emboldened due to Trump? Well...look at the MAGA hats on folks carrying confederate and nazi flags. See any on the protesters?
Yeah, most of us are pretty far removed. But, even the LDS church issued multiple statements ON THE SAME DAY in the aftermath of this. Are they in collusion with the fringe left? I don't think so. What they are is aligning to be on the correct side of history?
Trump had a chance to get on board. He did, then he when off script (again) and lost it. He continues to disappoint. When he looses the alt-right he's done. After backwalking the Afghanistan situation...he's losing more and more ground every day...
Even Newt Gingrich knows good people don't walk with folks carrying swastikas. Trump is creating his own obstacles...
I like to think that you're right about that, but quite honestly, I don't think that most of the people at the protests think about it that much. Human beings have strong leanings toward a herd mentality. All it takes is for a few like minded people to say "hey, that guy owned slaves and we built a giant monument to him. That's not right and it shouldn't be there." Then come the yeah-sayers and the others to join the fun, and suddenly you have a movement.Quote:

All I know is that as long as you liberals hate him, then Trump must be doing something right.Quote:

The only ones predicting that Trumps base is crumbling is "Fake News", you know the guys I'm talking about, they are the same news media that predicated Trump stood a snowballs chance in hell of ever winning the Presidency.

This is true. Trump himself alluded that he could shoot someone and people would still vote for him.Quote:

The prominent Republican leaders only care about their own power and punishing the Democrat party, and the Democrats are the same toward the Republican party. Then people wonder why this country is so divided.
If this is your idea of winning and what is really good for this country, then you are mistaken.

Bannon is on the loose!
Who cares what Breitbart thinks? I think you've taken the bait, Brian. If the liberal media says it's so, it's bullshit.

I know for a fact (some of my liberal clients) that CNN or MSNBC etc...don't speak for them, either.
NPR is a piece of shit, BTW.

Talk of renaming USC mascot’s horse sends people galloping to the internet in outrage
"A story Thursday in The Daily Trojan reported that a speaker at a USC rally called attention to the name of the mascot’s horse, Traveler, which is similar to the name of a horse ridden by Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee during the Civil War – Traveller. Saphia Jackson, co-director of the USC Black Student Assembly, told the crowd that white supremacy hits close to home in reference to the mascot’s horse, reported the USC newspaper."
