D.C. Skunk Apes

(Lafollette TN had a skunk ape sighting a few years ago and I've been fascinated with them ever since. They're a very swampy and elusive creature.)

If it wasn’t for those two “slave owners,” there wouldn’t be a country for these people to act this foolish...

CNN didn't lie. The first and third presidents were slave owners. However, those two men were vital to the formation of our country and have been honored for such.

I give you the holy grail of CNN. This is from 2016 showing CNN and Bernie praising Mt. Rushmore. CNN even saying JG a monument of “four great Americans.”

This narrative is so stupid..... living back in those times is entirely different then living in today’s times.

How to Celebrate July 4 Without Getting Canceled for Glorifying White Supremacy

10 things to avoid this holiday weekend

If you plan on celebrating—or even acknowledging—the signing of the Declaration of Independence, an archaic and confusing document that promotes violence, please be mindful not to invite cancellation by "glorifying white supremacy."

That's how the Democratic National Committee described President Donald Trump's plan to attend a fireworks display at Mount Rushmore. So that's definitely off limits. But here are a few suggestions for other things to avoid this holiday weekend.

How to Celebrate July 4 Without Getting Canceled for Glorifying White Supremacy

I’m going to do the most white guy thing of all on the 4th. I’m going to go to work.

Yeah back then everyone around the world was fighting for everything they got..... Today’s people are so fragile, we never would have survived back then.

How do you feel about abortions for those privileged people. The religious right wants to protect those baby makers. They don't care if they're employed or able to provide for them.

How about birth control and better choices?

The truth isn't stupid, Scooter. It's factual.

With that logic, let's just destroy all governments and all monuments ever erected because in one way or another, they're tied to oppression of some race or nationality that was mistreated and/or abused in some form of another. How do you believe the government came to be? By asking nicely if they can take this land from the indigenous population?

Try learning from history for once.

Screw the New York Times. The President delivered a pro American speech. That is it.

WATCH: Riots As Portland Police Protect Federal Courthouse

This is one of the things that concerns me most. If this keeps up, there is going to be a group of these violent leftists who will attack (a) a group of (or single) peace officers, or (b) a neighborhood or individual business / residence, and they will be met with lethal force when the first rock or molotov hits something or someone. Violence begets violence, and eventually they are going to provoke a response that no one wants.

Hope I'm wrong...fear I'm right. Granted, I live in a pretty conservative area of the country, but all I am hearing right now from people I know, and even people I don't, is "why are we putting up with this crap?" Somewhere south of Atlanta, the tide of tolerance has shifted, and a rock headed one way will be answered by a bullet headed the other.

No idea where or when, but if the current wave of violence continues, then at some point there will be another "shot heard 'round the world."

This time, it will mark the end of a revolution, rather than the beginning.

I have a feeling this is what the other side wants. To provoke officers to the point of a violent response, therefore somehow validating their arguement to defund departments and have officers fired. If an escalation like this does occur, I'm guessing the political leaders will cave to the mob mentality and have those involved fired from their jobs and possibly facing criminal charges (depending upon the DA and their political stance).

No they didn't lie but who refers to them like that day to day. You shouldn't accept this type of behavior either. It just goes to show you how nuts these people are and it's dangerous.

Come on....that would be fun.

There is a reason mostly kids do the lefts dirty work. They just provide the igniter and kerosene.

It’s just as absurd as someone saying that a photo of Trump/Obama/W was a picture of Trump with “two former cocaine abusers.”

Do you ever read history? Washington and Jefferson were described as slave owners many times before now. It's crazy and dangerous to act like it isn't true.

Of course, history mentions it. I'm talking about people don't walk around saying "slaveowners". You know what I'm talking about. It's up to you on whether or not you want to be honest. That is out of my control. History is meant to inform not indoctrinate.

In the context of Mt. Rushmore, no one refers to them as slave owners. They refer to them as Presidents.

You make no sense. You agree Presidents 1 and 3 were slave owners yet you are upset that people refer to them as such. You are trying to control the free speech of others (who happen to be telling the truth) because you don't like what they say.

You are speaking from your perspective. Other's opinions differ.
