@redhog Lee and most of the other early generals in the Civil War spent time at West Point and took the same oath as everyone else to defend the Constitution. They chose to go to war against the government they had sworn to uphold, making them traitors. I'm sorry, but that negates being called a Patriot just as much as any military officer who participate in a government coup in any other country.
The mob that attacked the Capitol Wednesday, regardless of previous service or civil occupations are not Patriots, they are seditionists trying to overthrow the legally elected government.

Barnie2years replies on Dec 29, 2020:
@barjoe we have a good variety of convenience stores. It used to be, I heard, a gentleman’s agreement that stores would dominate an area. In Lancaster we had Turkey Hill and Penn Supreme stores, York was dominated by Rutters. Sheetz was mostly to the north of Rt. 22. And everything east of Lancaster was Wawa. Royal Farm didn’t venture north of the Maryland line. 7-11 were scattered around, I think we had two that I know of in Lancaster County.
In the past ten to twenty years that agreement disappeared, along with Penn Supreme, Getty, and A+, which were gasoline company owned. Now we have all of them, with more everyday. That was a good thing, because it forced Turkey Hill to upgrade their crummy little shops to compete against the much bigger and better Sheetz and Wawa stores. Royal Frams have just started opening up in the past five years or so.

That’s the law, and gets law suites thrown out of any court without a hearing.

Now, with the Internet, you take a digital picture and can send it to millions of women around the world in seconds with little risk of retribution. And still get whatever joy shocking the women provides. Like so many things in the digital age, it didn’t create idiots and evil, it just gave them a way to communicate and meet each other while exposing their mental disease to a much wider audience.

@barjoe I do an annual newsletter. At one time I used to send out over a hundred. Even used to do a French translation version and sent them to friends in France, Japan and Slovakia. Now I send PDF versions overseas and about 25 paper copies. It isn’t your standard newsletter, people actually ask for them. 🤣
This is an encouraging sign.

He has loaded up the administration with people who swore loyalty to him first, the Constitution second. That is a dangerous thing to hav with a complicit Senate and a SCOTUS that he hand picked a third of them. He has spent four years setting up the perfect storm, doing little else.

Barnie2years replies on Nov 9, 2020:
@St-Sinner I agree. It is both sides. Which is why I supported only young, first time candidates this election. Both sides need to get some of the old wood out, fresh voices in. As more young people start to vote, more will run for office and stand a chance to win primaries. That’s the only way the Congressional retirement village will turn over.

I wish I could be as confident as some that the military won't be as split as the general population when the time comes to take sides. If nothing else, we learned at the start of the Civil War that taking an oath and defending your country can not overcome loyalty to faith and family. All the top military leaders at the time had take an oath the same as they do now. If it gets totally out of hand, I would expect the military to split in a very similar fashion to the general population. Thankfully, I would hope most would side to keep the country whole and defend the winner of the popular vote. But I would not expect all of them to. Timothy McVey was in the military and he did not mind blowing up little kids to prove a point.

Clarence Thomas is a useless anchor for the conservatives. Roberts may stand up for the law. I don’t see much there to give me confidence that they would do the right thing as a majority at this point. Recent rulings that did not go in the direction expected had to get past a five-four vote with the powerful Ginsburg working. Even those decisions left wiggle room for the Right to renew the assaults with a friendlier court.

@Gwendolyn2018 I know how to change the oil, but prefer not to do it myself. More trouble than it’s worth as far as I’m concerned. And when you have it done professionally they check for other issues and often can suggest repairs neede before they become a problem.

I always get a little boost of happy walking around my neighborhood with my dog.

Buy a bag of beef jerky; and every time your dog pees on a Trump sign, reward him with a piece of jerky!

He is very picky about where he pees! He wouldn't want to waste a good pee on a Trump Trash sign. LOL

I live in Chester County. This is very exciting, and not what I would have expected. I guess it depends on what part of Lancaster County you're in, and yeah...the more rural and less educated, probably the more Trump signs. :-P Here in West Chester, I don't see many yard signs at all.
Barnie2years replies on Sep 28, 2020:
I’m actually in a mostly upper middle class area right on the edge of the city. A lot of empty nesters and an influx of younger couples and families. The signs are in both demographics yards, which also surprised me. Our local, state and federal representatives trend to be mostly Republican, the city itself mostly Democrat. I guess the Dems stay closer to the city since where I live is right along side.

The Norman conquest of England (in Britain, often called the Norman Conquest or the Conquest) was the 11th-century invasion and occupation of England by an army of Norman, Breton, Flemish, and French soldiers, all led by the Duke of Normandy later styled William the Conqueror.
Interesting...

@Marionville too bad I won’t be around to see the Disneyfication of the Trump history. I’m certain they could make it as thrilling as Beauty and the Beast. Possibly titled Freedom and the Beast. Hopefully it has a happy ending and Freedom wins the day.

And we are just on the cusp of trashing everything they fought and died for by turning the county into a Russian style government: one Party, one oppressive leader. Trumperica. 🤬

@Marionville I prefer to be pessimistic. Then if I was wrong I can be happy. Much easier and stressful than being optimistic and being wrong. Then you spend your time after being depressed and angry. 😁

I got through 12 years of school without reading many of the classics, or maybe most of them.

Some of the book has to do with the allied bombing of the German city of Dresden. Around 25,000 civilians were killed and the city destroyed. Nothing compared to the six to seven million people killed in German death camps, but a lot of people none the less.

American exceptionalism is a myth. Has been at least for 40 years. Its the ethnocentric rational we use to exert our muscle around the world. But even that is coming to an end.

It would be nice. The Repubs have been hypocritically using the fillibuster way more than the Dems in recent decades, while the Dems are usually too chickenshit to use it, which shows they are really not that much of an opposition party to the Repubs.

Sadly true. We have a tendency to eat our own (Al Franken for one) while the Republicans circle the wagons and protect even the worst of their ilk as long as they follow party leadership.
