Justafan Posted December 23, 2023 Report Share Posted December 23, 2023 4 hours ago, WG53 said: If you are making the point that people from all walks of life can/are be racist and prejudice...then I agree. Southerners were not and are not the only racists. But yes, the parties did split along their lines by how they reacted to the Civil rights act. This is not accurate. Norman Podhoretz, Jeane Kirkpatrick, Irving Kristol and others started the neoconservative movement and were staunch supporters of civil rights. Barry Goldwater even opposed civil rights but not due to racism but instead because he didn’t believe the government had the right to impose behavior on businesses. He fought to desegregate schools in Arizona. I could go on and on but it feels as if anything I said here would simply fall on deaf ears. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not surprisingly, Jews tend to be a lot more sensitive to the abuse of minorities. Especially only 20 years after the Holocaust… None of that changes to fact that liberals and conservatives were clearly divided on the civil rights movement.

If I have, it was sometime late 2019, when my wife contracted some mystery sickness that no one could identify. I felt somewhat sick but attributed it to sympathy sickness. Anyway, I started fighting what I think is the flu Tuesday and today, just had to power through what's left of it to start smoking gift hams, grilling a pecan pie and preparing to grill two turkeys tomorrow. I'll be grilling the turkeys because my smoker died today, just as the smoke got going good with the hams. Had to finish them up in the oven. What a bummer. Anyway, hope you get over it in time to enjoy your holiday, you Godless heathen. Starkiller, and Justafan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kicked my butt for a few days and then got over it. Still… totally agree, it’s a terrible sickness and you just don’t know how it’s gonna affect you, even if you’re young.

Funny enough, the only reason I suspect I had covid as described earlier is, my tolerance for capsaicin went out the roof somewhere after this time. Otherwise, I can tell no difference in taste or smell. We eat spicy everything so it could be coincidence? Justafan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
