I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾‍♀️.

Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

THE ACLU IS TRYING TO DESTROY THE BIDEN NLRB
M. Trosino's avatar

Read this earlier this morning; "crap" is far too polite a word. I used to have a modicum of respect for the ACLU. They've done some good work over the years. But they now seem rather determined to negate that with BS like this.

I also see where they've taken up a free speech case involving the NRA while very publicly saying they in no way agree with or support the NRA's mission. The NRA, while having unsuccessfully tried to claim bankruptcy, has resources of its own to fight whatever legal case…

Well, except the SPLC has never responded to my numerous attempts to communicate as to why they persist in labeling Ft Bragg, California, as a “Public Symbol of the Confederacy” though named in 1857 for a Federal soldier long before the Civil War. While I’ll agree the optics are bad, the fact remains it is not a symbol of the CSA any more than Austria remains a Symbol of the Third Reich because Hither was Austrian.

In perusing the link you posted, I found nothing about Ft. Bragg, California. Not saying there isn't something there, since I don't have time to read every word of the rather lengthy piece. I did find a reference to the much better-known Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, a huge U.S. Army base which started life as Camp Bragg in 1918 as an artillery training facility, long after the end of the Civil War. Both locations were named after Braxton Bragg, who graduated West Point and served as an artillery …

Why not? History is in books, not memorials to lost causes.

Taking down flags, removing Confederate statues or memorials etc. from public property? Sure. Fine. Good idea. But renaming or 'disappearing' *everything* Confederate-related? You going to rename every town or city south of the Mason Dixon line? Every place name for every Civil War battle that happened on then-Confederate held ground? There's no honor in what the Confederacy did, but what you're apparently advocating is surely a lost cause.

Were we not on Tom’s substack, I’d thank you for the mansplaining as I usually find the comments analytic. As it is I’ll assume you realize that ‘disappearing’ has been achieved by voters.
