You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
shhhhhhhhhhhh
ReplyDeletedon't let facts get in the way of a good story
You said it, bippy!
ReplyDeleteNo, Mr. O'Hare is right, based on objective analysis. We looked as good to the natives here as today's illegal (and legals) look to us, i.e. as Frankenstein & Co.
ReplyDeleteTell me why we are celebrating a holiday over Columbus. He was a slave trader and carried out genocide against the Arawaks. Christ on a crutch, does this country ever get it? Not even self respecting Italians celebrate Columbus. Bernie Berg
ReplyDeleteBernie, He never spoke English, either.
ReplyDeleteSpike, They must be orangemen.
ReplyDeleteAt least the natives in the Caribbean had the good sense to cannibalize the Italian sailor Verrazano, who, sailing for the Spanish Crown, was the first European to meet & describe "our" Indians, the Lenape (AKA Lenni Lenape or Delaware), when he met their kinsmen in what is today New York Bay. Too bad the Native Americans who met Columbus didn't have a similar appetite...what a funny twist in "Manifest Destiny" that would have been, eh?
