Robert E. Lee

[Cow Poke]

Different times, different party. Lincoln who republicans like to hail as an icon of the republican party was assassinated by J W Booth, a confederate sympathizer who would fit right in with the republican alt right white supremacists of today.

It is amazing how much ignorance you can pack into such a short post!

[Sea of red]

Jim, nobody takes you seriously any more. All you do is post twisted and exaggerated biased nonsense. Stop being such a troll and educate yourself.

No Lee was not a saint. I never said he was. He was however an honorable soldier.


You never answered me about the liberals in California who want to secede from the Union. Will that make them traitors?

There were cries in Texas to secede from the union in 2012, so this is not a very good example.

Why not?

[Sea of red]

Why not?

I'm not playing the game. you know exactly why.

Just because something happened elsewhere doesn't make it "not a good example".

You 'entered the game' by making that dumb statement.

[Sea of red]

You 'entered the game' by making that dumb statement.

No, I didn't enter a game actually. I simple pointed out that using calls for secession by liberals in California is a poor example to trap Jim with, since conservatives did the same thing in Texas when Obama won reelection in 2012.

I understand you're not very smart, but this is really not difficult to grasp at all.

Have you considered that perhaps not all conservatives agreed with the calls for Texas to secede, and that Sparko may just possibly have been one of those who disagreed?

You're basically accusing Sparko of holding a position without bothering to ask him about it first. That's sort of a jackass thing to do.

So why didn't Sparko use them as an example too? Whatever he says about California, he should say about Texas and be consistent.

True - more like you blundered into it.

I simple pointed out that using calls for secession by liberals in California is a poor example to trap Jim with, since conservatives did the same thing in Texas when Obama won reelection in 2012.

Did you even bother to check with Sparko? I'm a Texas conservative, and I certainly didn't support it!

I understand you're not very smart,

Well, you seem to enjoy being wrong, so...

but this is really not difficult to grasp at all.

Yeah, you screwed up, and now you're trying to recover by flinging personal insults.

[One Bad Pig]

Sparko didn't need to be exhaustive. Why stop with Texas?

He only needed to point out a single example to expose potential hypocrisy on the part of JimL, and California is the most recent.

[Sparko]

Don't know what world you are living in MM, but its obviously not the real one.

[Sparko]

sure it is.

I wonder if Jimmy will answer the question.

well duh, because Jimmy who hates conservatives would doubtless say "yes they were traitors" but will he say that about California liberals?

Think Sea.

Also, I am arguing AGAINST the South being "traitors" -- so assuming I DID agree with Texas trying to secede, then I would not think they were "traitors" - just like the South - so how would I be being hypocritical?

I am trying to get JimL to see that just wanting to secede doesn't make someone a traitor.

[Cow Poke]

sure it is.

I wonder if Jimmy will answer the question.

If it doesn't come to his fax machine as a talking point, he won't know how to respond.
