19 year old assaults 81 year old for Wearing MAGA Hat

[Father Heathen]

Please remember that until the Democrats hijacked the whole thing, it was REPUBLICANS who were the movers and shakers behind ending slavery, segregation and getting equal rights for minorities. Lincoln and MLKjr were both Republicans...and the KKK, the governors of the states which actively and violently opposed integration were Democrats (The KKK was the Democrat 'army,' actually) and the Jim Crow laws were all proposed and passed by...guess who...Democrats.

Ah, so that's why it's mostly liberals who fly the confederate flag and defend confederate monuments.

Oh, wait.

Let's be serious and look at the contemporary parties rather than those of decades or even even centuries ago. You know, polices and platforms that are actually current and relevant.

Where you see Confederates , and Nazis oh my, the real issue revolves around the proactive suppression of speech and individual expression of opinions however unpopular they may be of which the right defends against the Socialist liberals.

For another poster I recently posted the economic agenda of USA's Nazi Party.
Inconveniently for Democrats, they've much more in common with Nazis than
do Republicans. (Nazis are very much into a command economy.)
So guilt by the tactic of guilt by association could be troubling.
It's best to blame people for what is directly under their immediate control, eh.

What the hell are you babbling about? My point was that using the confederacy to criticize Democrats is stupid because those who celebrate it today tend to be Republicans. No one is coming after your free speech, my quivering lil' snowflake.

Good thing that wasn't what I was doing.

No, you've been behaving yourself....mostly.
(Your avatar has been disrespectfully laughing at me.
That's why mine is giving yours the stinkeye.)

 

[Father Heathen]

THEY think the phrase means 'make America prosperous and free again."

What freedoms did "they" believe were lost and needed Trump to restore?

Ah, sorry. Thought you were referring to me.

 

[Stanyon]

MAGA is an acronym for Make America Great Again, which is largely understood to mean make America white again.

By who?

Sure. The policies and platforms of the liberals are that it is the liberals who have always 'been' for the minorities and that the conservatives are all racists who want to put minorities back on the slave auction blocks.

I have a problem with policies and platforms that are based upon that level of misinformation and outright lies.

Yet you have no problem weaving hyperbolic straw men.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

non sequitur.

Not at all. Despite Republicans and Democrats having undergone realignments over the past several decades, you hold today's Democrats to the standards of yesterday's Democrats. So, if today's Democrats are still yesterday's Democrats, then it has to be asked how much actually changed post-American Revolution. If the political parties didn't change and realign, did the politics of the nation not change and realign as well?

 

[oldbadger]

That would be riskier in the United States, especially in a hospital. In America, atheists are considered by many Christians to be immoral enemies of all that is decent. Here's an expanded treatment of that.

Hello.....

Errr...... yes. I read your spoiler.
My survival instincts are still strong, and if I ever get rushed in to a US hospital and am asked such a question, I think that I might enter myself as a Christian. Definitely a Christian!

As a Deist I don't mind lying through my teeth about such things because my Deity is totally disinterested even if aware, so it doesn't matter anyway!

 

[Jumi]

Now that's a sight I'd like to see.

Not if they were serious.

 

[Rational Agnostic]

Or maybe it's because the hat is practically a hate symbol?
Of course not, it's the snowflake liberals.

The hat is not a "hate symbol" and it is certainly not an incitement to violence. Freedom of speech is protected in this country, and no symbol that someone wears is ever a justification for violence against them.

 

[Rational Agnostic]

Even if it could constitute as a hate symbol, it still doesn't justify violence. They're an innocent citizen regardless of how idiotic we might regard their views.

True. A lot of today's self-righteous liberal children (yes, I said children, because clearly they have not grown up) pretend like they are doing a service by "punching Nazis." Only to them, a "Nazi" is apparently anyone who disagrees with their views, or even just makes them feel uncomfortable. It's pathetic, really.

I don't, actually, do that. Your cry of 'strawman' doesn't make something a strawman.

You claim 'realignment." I claim bovine effluvium. Democrats have not changed their racial attitudes at all...just their propaganda and methods.

I think Dems have improved their racial attitudes greatly since their
slavery & subsequent Jim Crow eras. But they still treat black folk
as captive voters.

Yeah, I'll agree with that.

But improving from slavery and Jim Crow doesn't take much. They STILL figure that people of color are too stupid to take care of themselves, to work or create or simply excel in anything without being nannied by some bright white guru from the government. Their attitudes seem to me to be all lip service and lies.

While people who REALLY believe that 'people of color' (whatever the politically correct term is today) are just people and equally able to deal with life and entitled to all the opportunities available to others...marry them. Live next to them. Are neighbors. They work for them and hire them and haul them to Starbucks for an overpriced cup of coffee that has the total calorie requirement of three people for a week.

Their kids go to school together, shop together and study together, and they agonize only when the black girl would look really stupid if she borrowed her white friend's blusher, and the white girl agonizes because she has to use SPF 5000 sunblock while her friend can swim all day without having to use sunblock at all.

Racism is...the treatment of, and belief that, another group is 'less' in some way. it's racism to think that a group needs handouts (and another group needs to be 'handicapped,' as in a horse race) to make the playing field even. That is racism...and just as, if not more than, the kind of racism that gets songs like 'Strange Fruit' written. Jim Crow damaged the body and limited physical opportunities. The current brand damages the soul and family.,
