Tell people again how statues are protecting "Our Heritage". Montana was not even a state during the civil war.

 

 

 

Same here.  Oklahoma wasn't a state during the Civil War either.  Yet, we have five schools named after Confederate generals.

 

However, because of what happened in Charlottesville, there IS a proposal to rename the schools.  I hope they're successful, too.  Honestly, WTF were we doing NAMING schools in OK after people like Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson?

 

Oh, and leave it to our governor, Mary Fallin, the same woman who called for have a day of prayer for the oil industry(!), to remain neutral about the controversies.  I'd like to say her silence will ensure her not getting another term to run this state further into the ground.  However, this is Oklahoma.  The devil himself could get elected here so long as he runs as a Republican.

Regarding Tina Fey, I'll be the odd man out and say I enjoyed her skit. I think it was less about telling people not to protest and more about trying to find a way to deal with the hopelessness and outrage of seeing what's happening around us. Plus she's right about the fact that the Nazis crave confrontation. Before Charlottesville there was a Nazi rally somewhere that lasted 45 minutes because everyone just treated them like crazy old men. As much as some hate to hear it, the best response to these rallies is crickets at the time and place they happen then a counter rally somewhere else.

 

Going back to this.  She's right about how unfair the Standing Rock protesters were treated too.

Oh Lord.....he's going to use little green army men to make his point. or steal a vid from Call Of Duty. 

They should have pulled out of Afghanistan years ago. But the war hawks have probably gotten to him, SAD!

Very interesting video giving a very brief history of those apparently very cheap Confederate monuments. I guess the actual value of those statues reflects the value of the ideology behind it.

Cheap, cheap, cheap and not worth maintaining.

 

Are you wondering why those Confederate statues crumple like cheap plastic? pic.twitter.com/5YDEyoP192

More like he wants an escalated war so his poll numbers start going up.

Exactly.  It's the oldest trick in the presidential playbook, and a surefire way to guarantee another term of office.

 

It's going to be a long, long, VERY long seven-and-a-half years.

Supposedly he wanted to pull out of Afghanistan. I guess we'll see. 

 

I can't help being very nervous about this eclipse tomorrow with North Korea again threatening the US due to the upcoming war games. 

 

I'm not sure what's going on with our ships, as today was the fourth time this year that a warship has had a collision in Asian waters, with two of the ships equipped with Aegis missile defense systems now out of commission. I can't help wondering if North Korea or Russia or someone else has used technology to help disable us at a time when there could be an attack at any moment.
