Actually it is worse than that. Kamala really has no new economic plan. It is more of the same old plan we got from Biden-Harris, which has been a disaster.
“Morris and I … shared the overriding purpose of making a pile of money,” the partner once told Harper’s magazine. “We were not particular about how we did it. We just wanted to be independently rich.”
With his conscience in tatters, Millard Fuller sold his share of the business to Mr. Dees, gave the proceeds to charity, moved away and founded Habitat for Humanity, building houses for the poor.
Morris Dees stayed in Alabama and built a 200-acre estate with tennis courts, a swimming pool and stables for his horses, and instead of doing good, did well.
I must admit, this failing around political correct nonsense is way more entertaining that most of ESPN's coverage right now. Twitchy points out Reuters' dilema over determining ESPN's Robert Lee: Doppelgänger or Namesake? If we want a German word for this debacle, Schadenfreude sorta works better...
The media is obstracating the real story in their hatred of Trump, but Charlottesville was a manipulated story: Who is funding Antifa? Who funded the White Nationalists? Who gains from all this strife and turmoil? Certainly not Heather Heyer's family, or Trump, or America.
Now I love Dave Chappelle--and I will concede he has a point. George Washington owed slaves. He conflates Washington with Jefferson in this bit, but of course Jefferson owned slaves too (even fathered children with one).
Today lefties are going nuts saying that Trump compared Robert E. Lee to George Washington. Not really, all Trump asked is if George Washington statutes were next? Given someone spray painted the Lincoln Memorial today, it is not that much of a stretch. Do you not think that after the Confederate statutes come down, that next will be going after Jefferson, Washington and other slave holders?
The Huffington Post puts Bush (11) and Reagan (3) in its list of top 11 racists presidents (they always like to stick it to conservatives and Republicans--even though it was Democrats who were historically racist and pro-Confederate). This preening and posturing will not end well.
You cannot fairly judge someone from history on today's standards. If you were born into a slave holding family, chances are you would be a slave holder. If you were born into a slave family, you were going to be a slave (unless you could escape). What happened in the past with your dead ancestors does not make you today more or less moral. Even in the context of slavery, you have to judge individuals in that context.
Slavery was wide spread back in the day and the Africans were on the receiving end of it--mainly because they were available and were resistant to diseases in the Caribbean and South America (people tried the Irish first, but they died too quickly). The left tries to argue this is a justification for slavery. Hardly. It just goes to show that people take advantage of those they can. That does not make slavery right, but that is the way it was. Saudi Arabia did not ban slavery until 1962.
Slavery was a horror, driven by greed. It was also a trap for those who practiced it, as well as those who suffered under it (although it was way worse to be under it). We also ended up fighting a civil war that ended it. Hundreds of thousands of Americans died doing so. I am glad in the West we have moved beyond slavery (although slavery still takes place in many parts of the world and illegally here). I recognize racism is still around too.
I do get why people do not like Confederate statutes. Personally I do not see the harm in them, but if you disagree there is a peaceful means and method in each individual state to address that. It is called voting and representational government, you should try it. Just remember which political party was all about the Confederacy.
There are not any Confederate statutes I am aware of in Wisconsin, but we all know this way bigger than Confederate statutes, or Donald Trump's statements following some criminal doing something horrific. The Democrats are trying to make political hay out of this. The radical left has so called mainstream Democrats cow-towing to them. What Democrat is denouncing Antifa, or the violent wing of Black Lives Matter, or the New Black Panther Party?
The sooner the Republicans figure that out the better. I am old enough to remember Mitt Romney and John McCain being called racists, fascists, misogynists and Nazis.
I did not vote for Al Gore, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Roberty Byrd, or Hillary Clinton. I have embraced shows like the Beverley Hillbillies and Dukes of Hazard in my past. I guess I have to denounce myself.
I should let the facts play out before jumping to conclusions on the most recent attack. It looked like a deliberate attack in the videos I saw (especially the RedState one), but they are not necessarily conclusive.
