Snowflakes and Liberal Educators

Roger Stone, a former adviser to President Donald Trump, responded to the death of former First Lady Barbara Bush by calling her a "nasty drunk" in an Instagram post.

And this, if you trust the source*:

*My apologies for the disclaimer, but I don't trust much of anything these days.

I think the “conservatives” around here trust that source.

It is no secret what Barbara thought of Trump.

Key word "former". Nobody cares what a former "advisor" thinks, muchness one that was forced out in 2015 and holds a grudge against the bush family. You guys are reaching so far your arms will touch the back of your heads eventually (and maybe each others).

"Stone, who worked on the Trump campaign until August 2015, has been a staunch critic of Barbara Bush's second son Jeb Bush, writing his 2016 book, Jeb! and the Bush Crime Family."

What do you think about Barbara’s opinion of Trump?

She is no longer with us so her opinion, on a man she might have never met, matters not to me.

People say Barbara had an accurate read on people.

And she loved her two home grown RINOs.....so what?

Barbara Bush sent me a Facebook PM saying you're an effing idiot. She got that one right.

Such a great assignment and insight for a class to discuss. If you can't discuss the past, and history in general, or the thinking of both sides at the time of occurrence and where we are now as a society, then there is no hope to solve this issue. And the "no solving this issue" is what the libs/socialist and those that take advantage of minorities want (just "$$reparation please"). The teacher should never have been subject to harassment or "calling down".

Oh yeah? What were the “pros” of slavery?

You made my point Guisslapp. There's best reason the socialist and PC libs to have enjoyed and applauded this teachers exercise in reasoning, history and willingness to discuss what some might call the "hard issues". Remember when education also tried to make one think, reason and venture outside of the box?

You just got smoked!

Besides, did you even see the picture/exhibit of the classroom paper response in the article?

Modern day diversity adding to the incredible "melting pot" of America and millions of future democrat voters (why, I'll never know).

Descendants of slaves will tell you that they built America....so I guess the USA is a "pro" of slavery as well. And the USA was one of the first nations to recognize the evil of slavery, so I would say building the USA was a pretty big deal.

I can't think of any "pros" of being a slave, and could never treat a person as property myself.....but your huffing and puffing and Comey-like display of moral superiority proves nothing.

Next you'll be saying there were no "pros" to burning fossil fuels, when in fact they made the USA a superpower and helped create a middle class here that enjoyed a standard of living previously unknown to those that were not designated as rich.

Just came across a book on the US Navy's interdictions of slave ships. Haven't read it yet, just read some of the comments on the sleeve, but apparently the US's role in stopping slavers was pretty extensive. I did not know this. I remember reading an account of a single US Navy Frigate whose captain was a staunch abolitionist, but he actually was reprimanded by the US Navy high command for taking his ship on those missions when he had orders to patrol the Caribbean and be on station near the east coast. Think I'll read it this weekend.

The Brits were very active in stopping slave ships. They would arrest and then hang the captain and often some of the officers and any slave speculators on board. But, the two biggest slave trading nations were Portugal and The Netherlands, and during the Napoleon Wars, when both Holland and Portugal were British allies, the Brits stopped raiding slave ships. Couldn't upset your allies, ya know. Politics.

Interesting D80! Title?

Again all nations of the world had slaves at some point in their history. Will this be a worldwide uprising? I think not as the world doesn't have our insane liberal arse media and socialist Democrats trying to race bait every day in the news and on TV making the situation worse. Oh wait....there is still a George Soros and Obama (two most famous community and world organizers) also fanning the flames of worldwide discontent behind the scenes and sometimes in front.
