I'm Not Impressed with Take 'Em Downer Claims

  1. Connie, you never fail to entertain me. You constantly show over and over and over again that you know nothing about history.

    1. Corey, you say that over and over without offering a scintilla of proof. You show over and over that you're absolutely clueless about what I'm talking about....

    2. Champ ins't Corey. Champ is a totally different person than Corey. Try and understand that. Corey is a friend of mine, we know each other, but Champ is whole different human being.

    3. You're so mixed up from all your fake IDs you are afraid to use "I". A normal person would have written, "I'm not Corey. I'm a totally different ... but I am a whole different..."

      What are you doing, Corey, channeling Bob Dole?

    4. "Corey is a friend of mine, we know each other,"

      All you have to do to visit with him is look in a mirror. You, him and all the other characters in your head.

      Must be something about the Great White North that makes people schizophrenic. Or,is it trying to keep all of those different cover stories straight?

    5. We'll know it for sure when Corey walks into his class and says; "Mr. Meyer isn't here today. I'm the substitute, Mr. Livingston."

    6. Corey must have a split personality disorder. One moment he's Corey and the next he's Champ. Tomorrow it might be Sally the Temptress or Ingrid the Lesbian. Who knows what's next...

  2. Excellent...
    ...but one minor flaw- "50th Anniversary of the Civil War - 1915-1920."

    Jim Crow started at the end of Reconstruction (1877+/-) and reached its crown in 1896 with the US Supreme Court decision that made it the law of the land. The peak of Confederate monument building was 15-20 years later.

    1. Jim Crow's peak wasn't in 1896, that was just the beginning of Federally sanctioned Jim Crow.

    2. Tell it to the Take 'Em Downers.

    3. "Tell it to the Take 'Em Downers."

      He won't,because he's probably banned or blocked by them, too. Or else he wasted any credibility he might have had with them.

    4. Champ/Corey/Ingrid: "Jim Crow's peak wasn't in 1896, that was just the beginning of Federally sanctioned Jim Crow."

      That's not a peak?

  4. Between 1885 and 1915. With a great many being erected around 1900-1. Interestingly, most county seats in West Texas don't have Confederate Monuments. Those counties didn't exist in 1861, and obviously didn't send any men to the war.

  5. Corey thinks this Take 'Em Downer crusade against monuments is about "history." So he sez. Hahahahaha....

    1. Actually, I think it's about silencing the Southern narrative and paving over it with the narrative of the North. Which narrative is essentially about conflating the sixteen Northern states, led by Massachusetts, with America itself.

      On that note, it's interesting that we only hear about Davey Crockett and Daniel Boone on the Dixie Frontier, the Texas Revolution and the Republic of West Florida,The Battle of New Orleans,etc. But we know and hear nothing about the pioneers struggling to settle the woods of Michigan and Wisconsin, or the prairies of Illinois and Minnesota.

      Where are the Illinois Rangers, battling marauding Indians and Mexicans? Or tales of Ohioans and Indianans battling the remnants of the declining Spanish Empire? Or doing a brisk trade with Cuba?

      For people who claim to be America, their history is oddly unheralded. Except for the war.
