Apparently Nevada is also. Senator Harry Reid's public school system is ranked dead last three years in a row.

There is nothing phonier than right-wing patriotism.
Yes there is. It's liberal concern over anything constructive.

P.S. I'm not your buddy either.
What he did was dance around a relevant question by asking a ridiculous question based off a Tea party talking point!!! That's not going to fly with me!!!

Regarding "your black panthers"? I don't have any black panthers, I don't know any black panthers, and I don't support those black panthers!!! There is no part of the New Black Panther Party ideology that lines up with progressive principles! In my opinion the NBPP are clowns that stole the name of the original organization from the 60s and 70s...

Please...before Roosevelt, half the damn white folks in the South were starving to death. And if it wasn't for him providing all them big government programs, they WOULD'VE starved to death.

The only reason they had slavery down there in the first place is because southern whites were too damn lazy to do their own work.

That's why they fought so hard to keep slavery.

Of course, they lost that battle too. 200+ years of beating up and terrorizing defenseless slaves didn't help them much when they ran up on someone who'd fight back.

Plenty of Confederate cemeteries can attest to that.

Therein lies the real question. Who really cares? I know of no one alive to whom it really affects today. It's akin to talking about Prohibition and the Roaring Twenties. Ancient history.

Yeah. Apparently they met little opposition from the Blacks themselves. The slaves were even sold to the slavers by other Blacks. The biggest slaveholder in the United States was a Black man. Most all the men who fought in the war owned no slaves at all.

Tell me about YOUR days on the old plantation and how you were mistreated. How old are you now?

I wonder if you could sell a Confederate flag puzzle at the fair.

If in pieces is it still contraband?

Sounds like the fools in Sacramento have more work to do!

And that is exactly how most whites feel about the KKK you want to trot out here in your racist tirades.

Confederate Flags come in handy if you get the urge to roast marshmallows.

That's pretty much it.
