The racist-cochroaches are now scurrying for the darkness under the refrigerator as fast as their little legs can carry them as the light of truth shines upon them.
Time for the RAID.

âWith regard to my own state, we curiously enough have a statue of Jefferson Davis in the capitol in Frankfort,â McConnell said at a Senate news conference. âDavisâ sole connection to Kentucky was he was born there, he subsequently moved to Mississippi. And Kentucky of course did not secede from the union.â
McConnell took issue with âthe appropriateness of continuing to have Jefferson Davisâ statue in a very prominent place in our state capitol."
Heâs exactly right. Those are words I donât think I have ever used to describe anything the turtle has ever said, nor are they words I will likely ever use again in the future in regards to a McConnell statement.

The turtle and all other cold-blooded creatures take on the temperature of their surroundings. They are hot when it is hot and cold when it is cold. They will change their environment to help regulate their temperature.

Thereâs website dedicated to proving Jeff Davis wore a dress to escape. Gotta love the Internet.

Absolutely, he is right. I donât get itâwhy is there a statue of Jefferson Davis in the capitol? Does anyone know the story here? When did it go up? Iâm guessing the 50âs or 60âs, because it probably wasnât the 1800âs. Who put it up?
Itâs about damn time people started abandoning the symbols of the Confederacy! The Confederacy doesnât exist, hasnât existed since 1865, and its entire existence was an attempt to destroy the United States of America. In other words, the Confederacy was treason!!

TPM:
McConnell took issue with âthe appropriateness of continuing to have Jefferson Davisâ statue in a very prominent place in our state capitol."
He suggested that perhaps âa better place for that would be the Kentucky History Museum, which is also in the state capitol."
Or, you know ⌠the garbage dump?
Iâm just throwing that idea out there.

This is just like They Live, except Roddy Piper needed special glasses to see the monsters. Here, the monsters have always been apparent, and GOP pols are just craven dumbfucks.

Forgive me if I donât want tot play nice with ll these Republicans, like McConnell having their âcome to Jesus meetingâ, because the rest of corporate America is finally catching on the the fact that this is racist. We Liberals told you so for the last 50 years! Where have you been?

Well, even though Kentucky didnât leave the Union, it had a LOT of southern sympathizers. Kentucky was a slave state as wellâŚit didnât abolish slavery like Maryland and Missouri did, for instance.
It was installed in the capitol in 1933, because he was born in Kentucky (though he grew up in Mississippi). Its on the same floor with a bunch of other statues to various Kentucky politicians through the ages. There is also a huge 300â plus monument dedicated to him in the town of his birth in Kentucky (as well as tons of other statues and monuments dedicated to him all over the South. Florida even recognizes his birthday as a holiday).

I discovered this âatrocityâ when my son was sworn in to be a public defender for Louisville. He literally went bananas listening to a speech urging the young lawyers to uphold the constitution while staring at the
Davis statue in the Rotunda. After we calmed him down we did some research and found out that it was erected and donated by the Daughters of the Confederacy as a gift to the people of Kentucky.

Amazing! Absolutely amazing as to how defensive theyâve become. I expect some reprobates out there are may be taking great offense at being thrown overboard by their leaders, and therefore, may act out with violence. I hope law enforcement is vigilant.
