More legislative shenanigans by Al Carlson

[Gully]

Not by all Americans - certainly not by the ones waving Confederate flags, past or present. Man, you can't ask people to forgive and forget when there are people waving the Confederate flag and acting like Confederate generals deserve statues.

I didn't say "all" Americans. My point isn't that American's aren't without fault, it's that there is much more good than bad here and I think the running down of the country is overdone.

I don't see how anyone is helped now by continuing to dwell on the past. I'm not saying to forget it....it happened. It's over. Now it's time to move on.

Yes. I agree completely. I'm not saying it shouldn't be remembered. I just don't think our country is terrible as some make it out to be.

Who are these people you insist are saying that America is a terrible place?

There is a big difference between saying our country is bad and wanting to see it do better.

I completely agree with this. Of course we can be better. Some think and say our country is terrible...I disagree.

I've been pretty consistently saying that slavery and the Confederacy were terrible. Those two things aren't the USA - they're almost literally diametrically opposed to everything that makes the USA what it aspires to be.

See Ibid: re: your and Tony’s above posts. Get way over yourselves please.

What year was that again? Did you get some sort of Liberal talking point memo from somewhere?

1860. Southern households.

I'm addressing two posts at once here and too lazy to quote them. Plenty of people say that....just look on Twitter or Facebook. Lots of people hate this country, which is just amazing to me.

I didn't mean to imply that Tony hates our country, I was speaking more in general.

Right, just more grievance about things no one here is actually saying. Have a great weekend and good luck with your search.
