parsons

JLA had an excellent game last week. He appears to be peaking at the right time of year.

RIchlands will be very good again next year.

Have you ever read the secession declarations, the secession convention speeches, or the confederate constitution? Lol, what states' rights not related to the preservation of slavery did the average soldier fight for? Since you've left the conversation, I'll make my final statement on the matter ... assuming no one else chooses to engage. The only true heritage associated with the flag is that white trash have been using it as a crutch to support their self-esteem for over a century.

Because you are in the same position as your "old school" buddy. The facts don't support you. You called me "uneducated" a little earlier ... and now you're disengaging. I suspect you recognize which one of us is truly uneducated ...and it's not me.

⌚ï¸

Cause you don't have any facts to back your argument. Good night.

I guess, using your scale, fighting to keep almost 4 million people enslaved doesn't quite spike your bad cause meter ...

Yes it does. If I'm not right, please prove me wrong.

I don't have to ... the facts speak for themselves.

No, but here's a quote from Confederate Vice President Alexander Stephens in his famous "Cornerstone speech" --"Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner- stone rests upon the great truth, that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery -- subordination to the superior race -- is his natural and normal condition. [Applause.] This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth."

I've added a couple of quotes from an earlier discussion of the same subject. You are wrong, the only states' right the confederacy was fighting for was the right to preserve the institution of slavery.

I'm sure there were a great many Germans that didn't want to exterminate the Jews also. That doesn't make the cause they were fighting for less evil. Please tell me what's so ridiculous about the comparison?

You're wrong about so many things in your post that I don't know where to start. It's late ..., and I'm sleepy ... so I'll address the bulk of what you said in the morning. I'm just curious ... would you defend the community in the same manner if they were flying a Swastika?

While our government has committed many deplorable acts against minorities in the past, our constitution has evolved over time. It has been designed to provide equal rights and equal protection under the law for all of our citizens. That's one hell of a redeeming characteristic. Pointing out Kaepernick's right to take a knee accentuates my point. If you don't like the principles on which our country is established, perhaps you should be the one to leave. Btw, if you think you're more educated about the subject, perhaps we should compare our academic credentials.

I suppose you'll be taking a knee with Colin Kaepernick? Do you make the same false analogy in support of people that fly the Swastika? Despite what you think, there were no redeeming principles behind the Confederacy's decision to secede. They did it explicitly to preserve slavery.

That particular flag is a monument to confirmation bias. If they don't ever change it will be an indictment of the state of the educational system there.

Remembered this post by Ryan from last year. While it's their prerogative to behave this way before the game, I fail to see the benefit to Graham. I've heard numerous Richlands players mention how fired up they get when Graham starts this stuff. I consider it a gift ... kind of a pre-game pep talk..

Seriously? I just put my lectern in storage last week.

Perfectly thrown ...

I'm getting more attached to you each time you post.

Bama bound, huh?

I was looking forward to calling you paranoid. Just read the article ... you're not.
