You Sir, are an idiot. But thanks for weighing in and removing all doubt! If the state decides to remove something and goes through channels, that's one thing (still dumb to try to erase history), I was referring to members of your party that like to do it in an impromptu fashion. You'll notice that there isn't a lot of that here in Texas.
Ouch. Come on, Jim. Unless there is something else that has transpired via PM, that was uncalled for. You're better than that, we're all better than that.
And J Mosher, we don't need your antagonistic posts either.
I come here to get away from this kind of crap, but that seems to be getting harder to do even here. Republicans and Democrats both have their share of nut jobs, they just go about their business in different ways. Did I vote for Trump? No. Does that mean I want to de-fund the police. Hell no. I love this country as much as anyone, and I voted the way I did because I honestly felt that four more years like the last four would be hugely damaging to the Republic. Are the next four years going to be great? Am I going to agree with everything? Nope.
But if we can't avoid the bitterness and name calling even here, then frankly I don't hold out much hope for the future.
Sorry, this is out of character for me, I usually keep my mouth shut. And I can't express myself as eloquently as some. But I was truly saddened.
I'm signing off for tonight.

I apologize for upsetting you Mark, and I value your friendship tremendously. I'm just very weary of all of this "crap" and feel that we have hit a turning point that there may well be no coming back from. I guess I am also weary of people who turn facts and history into "Hate Speech" because they don't agree, parties and ideologies who think it's ok to burn cities down, destroy lives, businesses and this wonderful country because they didn't get their way four years ago, but we are expected to stand with our hands in our pockets and dig our toes in the dirt while they run over us with their "peaceful protests".
You all know me pretty well, I'll give respect to any and all but we have come to a point, in my opinion where the ones who talk so much about bullying, wax so poetically about equality and tolerance exhibit not one shred of any of those qualities themselves. We have for too long allowed the bullies to create their own version of everything, including our history, good and bad, and just because they say it, it becomes truth, it's time for it to stop and it's time to call a spade a spade and stand up for what thousands have given their lives for over the past 200+ years.
Let's put this in perspective, how many safe spaces and comfort animals would those of you on the left have required if, in 2016 the incoming administration had declared that everyone who supported the opposing candidate will be targeted and will pay a hefty price for having been loyal to the other party? The suggested price, among other things, would be not ever getting another job in this country and being outed and discriminated against in every way possible. Oh, but let's come together and put an end to all the hate and unrest..................to quote the supposed winner of this election......"Come on man!" Beat the living tar out of 49% of this country for four years, manufacture all manner of lies and deceit, spend hundred of millions of dollars that could have, should have gone elsewhere, burn this beautiful country down because you're not pleased with how things turned out, but now we're supposed to sing Kumbaya while you flush what's left of America down the drain............you bet, where do I sign up?
Jim, you probably know where I stand politically. It's not just ANTIFA, which is not just an "idea" like the Big Guy said. That fact that the Washington DC city government had a committee looking into dismantling the Washington Monument and the Jefferson Memorial is more than alarming. I know a thing or two about the Red Guards in the 'Cultural Revolution" in communist China, because I lived through it. What these folks are trying to do is no different from what the Red Guards did.
Anyways, here are some flying subjects from recent visits to Conowingo Dam in Maryland.
Whatever you are thankful for, you folks all have a safe and happy Thanksgiving.
