Once again, the Lost Cause is the reason we canât have nice things.
Unbelievable. (Well, not so much.) These bastards will stop at nothing.
@tiowally the GOP membersâ policy initiatives are illegitimate, not their births :-[
Perhaps the Republican congressmen should be subject to an Anti-American Activities investigation. Surely, they would approve of that!
Yes, we the GOP care, care deeply, about the lives of unborn children and their mothers and the threat that Zika poses.
Unless of course it interferes with our ability to wave a racist, hateful symbol over dead people. Then, eh, not so much.
In those historic Federal cemeteries where Confederate soldiers are buried (Antietam, Gettysburg, Manassas, etc.) the Confederate Battle Flag should be flown with honor.
The GOP leaders warned the Democrats that Democrats will be blamed by voters for not going along with GOP sneaky shenanigans.
The flags of losing traitors are always so honored, just like Nazi swastikas at Normandy and Japanese rising suns at Pearl Harbor.
The flag of those who tried to perpetuate slavery by destroying the United States Trumps the health and safety of unborn American children.
The Confederate soldiers are honored: by being buried with their fellow Americans. And Americans fly the American flag.
The GOP put dead men who revolted against the United States over LIVING Americans. How revolting! How typical!
uhhh no
[T]he greatest efforts made by the defeated insurgents since the close of the war have been to promulgate the idea that the cause of liberty, justice, humanity, equality, and all the calendar of the virtues of freedom, suffered violence and wrong when the effort for southern independence failed. This is, of course, intended as a species of political cant, whereby the crime of treason might be covered with a counterfeit varnish of patriotism, so that the precipitators of the rebellion might go down in history hand in hand with the defenders of the government, thus wiping out with their own hands their own stains; a species of self-forgiveness amazing in its effrontery, when it is considered that life and propertyâjustly forfeited by the laws of the country, of war, and of nations, through the magnanimity of the government and peopleâwas not exacted from them.
I was trying to find that Chattanooga Cemetery quote where Thomas ordered that all of the battle dead be buried regardless of the states (@scottsa), but I think this quote will do.
The GOP is completely devoid of any decency. They have none. Zero.
AhhhhâŚone more time at âprotecting womenâs healthâ by letting the bigots and racists off the hook. Lordy beâŚ
Apparently to the Republican Party, the Confederate Flag is more important than a health crisis
I agree. As soon as the South institutes âConfederate Shame Monthâ in atonement for their traitorous sedition in defense of wealthy landowners buying, selling, and abusing other human beings as they wished.
The Traitorâs Flag does not belong in federal cemeteries for our soldiers. I hope Reid and the Dems block this shit.
I think this is the quote youâre referring to:
âNo, no. Mix âem up, mix âem up,â he said. âIâm tired of statesâ rightsâ.
