Which Date Would You Honor?

I did not know that the film "Forrest Gump" was named for that gentleman.

Thanks for the info.

I assume, therefore, that it will be added to the list of films banned from TV and theaters.

Wellllll......no.

The Left sees no need for consistency.

Anything that works for them is peachy-keen.


Georges Eugène Sorel (2 November 1847 in Cherbourg – 29 August 1922 in Boulogne-sur-Seine) was a French philosopher and theorist of revolutionary syndicalism. His notion of the power of myth in people's lives inspired Marxists and Fascists, it is, together with his defense of violence, the contribution for which he is most often remembered. Georges Sorel - Wikipedia


. In his most famous work (1908), Sorel emphasized the violent and irrational motivations of social and economic conduct (echoing Pareto in many ways). His identification of the need for a deliberately-conceived "myth" to sway crowds into concerted action was put to use by the Fascist and Communist movements of the 1920s and after. http://homepage.newschool.edu/het//profiles/sorel.htm


You can tell, on this board, how successful his view is.

Today is a significant date in the life for two luminaries of their political party.....one Republican, one Democrat.

1. John C. Frémont, in full John Charles Frémont, (born January 21, 1813, Savannah, Georgia, U.S.—died July 13, 1890, New York, New York), American military officer and an early explorer and mapmaker of the American West, who was one of the principal figures in opening up that region to settlement and was instrumental in the U.S. conquest and development of California. He was also a politician who ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. presidency in 1856 as the first candidate of the newly formed Republican Party.

2. Nathan Bedford Forrest, (born July 13, 1821, near Chapel Hill, Tennessee, U.S.—died October 29, 1877, Memphis, Tennessee), Confederate cavalry commander in the American Civil War (1861–65) who was often described as a “born military genius.” His rule of action, “Get there first with the most men,” became one of the most often quoted statements of the war. Forrest is also one of the most controversial figures from the Civil War era. His command was responsible for the massacre of African American Union troops stationed at Fort Pillow, Tennessee, in April 1864, and he served as the first grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan in the early years of Reconstruction.

In his honor, Hollywood used his name and family association for the film, Forrest Gump.

KKK’ra haven’t been Dems since the civil rights laws were passed. Republicans were abolitionist then.

you wackjibs need to stop whining about the same irrelevant thing over and over.

now go back and try to learn something

Yes...the democrat party now uses antifa and black lives matter to burn, loot and kill Black Americans in democrat party controlled cities......the kkk is still democrat....and according to the associative property of cancel culture...since the kkk worked for the democrat party, that stain of racist hate can never be washed away.......as we see in comedians canceled because of 20 year old jokes...

Sooooo......according to the associative property of cancellation, the democrat party must be dissolved and it's assets given to the descendants of slaves as reparations for the history and current racism, hate and violence of the democrat party.

Forrest led the last heroic charge at Battle of Shiloh. Charged the Union line alone slashing with his sabre in the middle of a group of Yankees. Someone shouted "Kill the goddamn rebel!" Union soldier stuck his rifle in Forrest side and fired, lifting Forrest up in his saddle. As Forrest rode away he grabbed a blue coat and swung him up on the back of his saddle to cover his retreat, then tossed the invader to the ground when he was through with him.

"Between 1882 and 1964, nearly five thousand people died from lynching, the majority African-American. The 1890s witnessed the worst period of lynching in U.S. history. Lynchings, often witnessed by large crowds of white onlookers, were the most extreme form of Southern [Democrat] white control over the African-American population, regularly meted out against African Americans who had been falsely charged with crimes but in fact were achieving a level of political or economic autonomy that whites found unacceptable.

The history of failed attempts to pass federal antilyching legislation goes back to 1894, when a House bill to set up a committee to investigate lynchings failed. In 1922, the House passed a bill to make lynching a Federal crime, but despite President Warren G. Harding’s support, Southern [Democrat] senators filibustered and defeated it. In 1933, [Democrat] President Franklin D. Roosevelt failed to support an antilynching bill proposed by the NAACP, fearing that key Southerners lawmakers would retaliate and interfere with his New Deal agenda. "

"The night riders move through the darkness, white against the black road....they go about their business, their horsed draped, guns and bullwhips banging dully against saddles.

....this is the South Carolina of the 1870s, not of the turn of a new millennium, and the night riders are the terror of these times. They roam upcountry, visiting their version of justice on poor blacks and the Republicans that support them, refusing to bow to the requirements of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments."

OP, I'd chalk you up for the KKK supporter and defender.

I was hoping I could entice you into lying like that.

Fact is, even you know you're lying, and your lie is based on the fact that I rip you a new one with metronomic regularity.


The dumbest among us, ....you.....simply resort to the smear of the day.


1.Terms of recrimination come and go. Once upon a time, probably due to the end of WWII, the attack-words were “you Fascist, you!!”

“The term can even be extended to any dictatorship that has become unfashionable among intellectuals. [working-class Americans call it "Communism." Middle-class Americans, educated enough to understand that it's uncouth to say anything against Communism, call it "fascism."] When the Soviet Union and People's China had a falling out in the 1960s, they each promptly discovered that the other fraternal socialist country was not merely capitalist but "fascist." At the most vulgar level, "fascist" is a handy swear-word for such hated figures as Rush Limbaugh or John Ashcroft who, whatever their faults, are as remote from historical Fascism as anyone in public life today.”

The Mystery of Fascism by David Ramsay Steele
THE LIBERTARIAN ALLIANCE is an independent, non-party group, brought together by a shared desire to work for a free society. The Libertarian Alliance is pledged to fight statism in all its forms, and to engage in long range propaganda for the Libertarian alternative.

What is most interesting is that the real curse should be ‘You communist, you!” because communism was, by every measure, worse than Nazism/Fascism, but the influence of the Marxism, due to FDR, shifted the vituperation.

“American progressives, for the most part, did not disavow fascism until the horrors of the Nazi Holocaust became manifest during World War II. After the war, those progressives who had praised Mussolini and Hitler in the 1920s and 1930s had no choice but to dissociate themselves from fascism. “Accordingly,” writes Jonah Goldberg, “leftist intellectuals redefined fascism as 'right-wing' and projected their own sins onto conservatives, even as they continued to borrow heavily from fascist and pre-fascist thought.” This progressive campaign to recast fascism as the "right-wing" antithesis of communism was aided by Joseph Stalin, ....”
http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/viewSubCategory.asp?id=1223



2. What is the ubiquitous curse today? Of course, it is “You racist, you!!” And that brings us to the question of why that is so, and where it is headed. Clearly, using the term against another is meant to express moral outrage at slavery and oppression, and one’s own virtue-signaling. It has gotten to the point where it presages both a dangerous threat, and, a laugh-line:

“Thrilled with their role as ‘white friend-of-the-blacks,’ many found that they could actually make a living at it! The part requires sneering at nonexistent racists, and memorizing one line: “Goddam it, this may cost me my career but I’m going to speak up for racial equality and let the chips fall where they may!”

Well, there is the fruit of certain palm trees, that I think is worthy of honoring.

Of more significance to me, personally, were a series of social meetings between myself and one Seanette Pierce, who traveled several hundred miles to meet me. After several of those dates, and in only a few days, we were engaged, we were married a year later, and recently marked our twenty-fifth marriage anniversary.
