Marshal Hangtree Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 In response to Democrats' calls to ban anything even remotely related to racism and slavery, "a group of Republican House members, led by Rep. Louis Gohmert of Texas, introduced a resolution Thursday that would effectively ban the Democratic Party from the House or force a party name change over past slavery ties -- a response to the recent efforts to remove tributes to past members of the Confederacy from the halls of Congress." Fox News, 07/24/2020. This is absolutely BRILLIANT!

Pat Riot Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 That's the problem in this country. Folks that work to solve problems get overrun by those that create the problems. Unfortunately. What we have done for the past 70 years is obviously not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 The democrats who are proud of destroying or defacing monuments or statues that they identify as reminders of slavery or racism neglect to point out that they are statues and monuments to, you guessed it, democrats. In their ignorance they have done the same to statues of abolitionists and monuments to black regiments who fought for the Union. It would follow that they would want to change the name of their party since it is the party who wanted to continue slavery and their very name is a reminder of that. THEY are the ones who have determined that this is how it is appropriate to deal with the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Republicans are pointing out to the Democrats that if they want to remove, destroy or rename anything that reminds them of slavery or racism, they should change the name of their own party as well because of their past support of slavery and racism. The democrats have defined this as the appropriate step to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"With reasonable men, I will reason; with humane men I will plead; but to tyrants I will give no quarter, nor waste arguments where they will certainly be lost." William Lloyd Garrison Too many politicians have been playing to the tyranny of the mob over the past few months. Turning one of their own weapons back on them isn't becoming them. I don't see the goal as truly trying to eliminate the democrat party as much as trying to open peoples' eyes to this hypocrisy. Would have been interesting to see Speaker Pelosi's and Minority Leader Schumer's faces when they heard about this. As far as statues go -- I kind of understand the mentality of wanting confederate statues removed, but completely disagree with the way the mob is trying to do it. I would prefer to see a requirement that before a confederate statue be removed, a group provide the plan and funding for a replacement that is approved on a ballot by local voters -- kind of a 1-for-1 swap, but putting it on the people who want to make the switch to provide the funds for a replacement memorial.

We can still be the good guys, we just need to employ tactics in this fight that work. Dirty? Maybe, but you are correct that this is a fight for our lives and our future. The dems have not played nice as long as I can remember while the Republicans have always seemed to turn the other cheek posturing some imagined political moral higher ground. That does not work anymore. There ain't no shame in fighting for real when the time comes. The dems have been caught in their own massive fraudulent narrative of their own party's history with slavery. It's high time to expose that truth. Will people pay attention?

She wanted to rebrand herself as a progressive because she thought that label was not as negatively viewed as a modern perjorative as the term liberal. Did not work. We saw through her bs. We see through today's dem's bs and are calling them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Banning of words and terms via social evolution is quite different than state mandated banning via statute.
