If it looks like a racist, smells like a racist, and walks like a racist, it’s probably a duck.

Wait, what? ;-)

If you read George Washingtons “Farewell Speech”, a person can see who our “Domestic Enemies” that occupy the halls of Congress.

Yeah, “campy.” First time I’ve come across that term to describe malignant and organized race hatred.

Gregory, I read that linked article and I believe it to be a real good example of fictional history. Lincoln’s college roommate, Joshua Speed, (the one who kept The Diary….) was from here and the Speed family Plantation house, Farmington, built in 1805 (10?) was restored in the 1960′s. It was on a visit to Farmington that Abraham Lincoln got his revulsion for the institution of slavery. Make no mistake, slavery was THE issue from 1830 or so until the Civil War. A Mr. Calhoun was all for it, and there is no Calhoun Street in Louisville – but there is in other cities. The controversy over Sherman’s March to the Sea ( planned at the original Galt House hotel in Louisville at 2nd and Main, which, oddly enough, burned soon after the war) as in, whether it was right to make war on civillians, or tactically smart to create so much resentment unnecessarily, is a separate issue. So is the question of whether a state, or any area of any country, has the right to secede and form their own country if it’s people vote for that to happen.

Resigning says nothing about any change in attitude, and won’t “clear his name” of association with racism. Only his words and actions from now on can do that.

Dump the mask and the bigoted views and everything will be all right.

The NPR station in Louisville tonight 7/22 quoted Rand Paul as saying they had reached a mutual agreement as his appointment was overshadowing the issues that are important. ( not taped, but this is as I remember hearing it through the shop din. As you know, I am a rivet puncher in a dog collar factory…) They went on to say that Mitch McConnell was facing a Tea Party Republican in the Republican primary, and between that and the Democratic challenger he does not know whether to poop or fall back in it. As I remember hearing it.

Some people may consider 2009 to be the dim past, another era when things were different and Paula Deen was popular. To me, it just seems like four years ago.

Here is one of Hunter’s columns from that long ago time,

He can probably make more money on the right wing media circuit now anyway thanks to this exposure anyway

or maybe he is planning to seek his fortune on the wrestling circuit.
