"Hate speech" laws are a blatant attack on free speech. They need to be defeated.

The climate control practice is a means of destroying all individual liberties. Who does man think he is that he can control the winds and the tide? This is vanity and vexation of spirit. Man can not control weather, man can not even control his own self.

Poor Little Bobbie. His woke ideology tells him that all whites are "oppressors" and all "people of color" are "oppressed". Therefore, he feels obligated to deny historical fact that a large number of southern blacks before the War Between the States were actually free blacks, and some of those free blacks were actually slaveowners themselves ("oppressers"?). He will deny historical fact until he is blue in the face to defend his rabid "woke" ideology.

Let me give Bonehead Bob a leftwing source and see if that will stop his anti-history ranting. Bobbie has posted that PBS is a source he trusts. PBS has always been regarded as a liberal source, but thanks to a recent whitleblower, it can now be deemed a far-left source. Well, here is a PBS article that admits the reality of 261,000+ free blacks in the South in 1860:

Bonehead Bob just preaches the far left narrative. Facts to him are irrelevant. So, will Bobbie now call PBS the KKK? Maybe claim th black writer of that PBS article is a secret klansman who goes around wearing a sheet and burning crosses? What little bit of credibility Bobbie may have once possessed, and that was not very much, is now gone completely. Maybe he should learn that when you are in a hole, it is time to stop digging.

You got to be kidding. Trumps like a creepy uncle who never shuts up and yet never actually says anything coherent

Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:

And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:

He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.

Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

I had online classes in high school; would have rather beat my head against the desk: Did.

Went to a university, found out I was graded on scavenger hunts and essays about imaginary mythological beasts: didn’t make it a whole semester.

Back to community college, it was online. Absolute torture to me personally. Tapped out for good. Would absolutely do the same thing again considering a good college educated person can tell me the scientific name and genus of a turkey buzzard but couldn’t jump start a car battery.

Society needs to scrap every policy and idea relating to education going back 40-50 years.

Good grief Bob how old could you possibly be? You act like you lived through the height of the Klan in the 1920s

I guess Bigot Bob is just stuck on stupid. If the real historical facts do not fit with his narrative, he just makes up his own. Free blacks had control of their own lives and many of them joined the Confederate army and navy, like Moses Dallas, a black Confederate naval officer on the ironclad CSS Savannah, who was instrumental in planning and helped lead one of the most daring exploits of the war, the capture of the Union warship USS Waterwitch while it was on blockade duty off Savannah in a surprise nighttime attack boarding from small boats. Dallas, a free black man had worked as a harbor pilot for the port of Savannah before joining the navy.

Bobbie might be surprised to learn that in 1860, there were more free blacks in the South than there were in the North - 261,000 in the South compared to 226,000 in the North.

When I was growing up, the KKK was regarded as a bunch of meatheads that nobody had any respect for. If they put out anything on history, they must have copied it from somebody else.

It is simple enough to learn the truth about free blacks in the antebellum South. Go find a library that has copies of the US census of 1860, 1850, 1840, and earlier and you will find the numbers of whites, free blacks, and slaves per county. You just reinforce the opinion that you are a blowhard moron when you keep posting inaccurate nonsense

When I was a kid the KKK would print this garbage and then place the pamphlets on cars all over town.

Same crap. Slaves can’t consent.

Biden almost makes Benedict Arnold look like a loyal American. DOWN WITH BIDEN.

Having been certified as an International Election Observer is eight foreign elections, one of the big red flags that election fraud is happening is one side kicking out the election observers of opponents. With no valid reason to do that, it is usually a very strong signal that fraud is going on and this is an effort to try to cover it up.

In the 2020 election in the US, there were multiple swing states where Republican election obervers were either kicked out of the vote counting rooms or as in Fulton County, Georgia, tricked out of them, while vote counting continued. This happened in multiple places about the same time, always in major urban counties in swing states. Some may believe in coincidence theories, but as an experienced election observer, that was a huge red flag that fraud was occuring and a very thorough examination needs to be done in those places. If I were an election observer of the 2020 US election, there is no way in hell I would have certified it as free and fair until such a thorough examination of what happened in those counties was conducted. Of course, no such examintations occurred. In one major urban county, not only were the Republican election observers kicked out, but the election officials then taped paper over the windows so no one could look in.
