    An apt, if ironic, way to describe your attempt to move the goalpost. Well done.

    I might pass your idea along to Bill Belichick. Even the Patriots haven't tried that one yet.

    Thus sayeth the Preacher. That is certainly a strand of western philosophy. There are others. There is even a strand that agrees with our Native American friend (see Roseau). I don't. The best of Western Art can transport us to realms unsuspected in more primitive cultures, I sincerely believe.


    i lost all sympathy with the Civil Rights movement when Jesse Jackson chanted "Hey, hey, ho, ho, Western Culture's got to go."

    Here is one of the most sublime creations of western art.

    Shaun King would have it destroyed because "White Supremacy"

    How can any self respecting White man endorse such barbarism?

    Can you tell me?

    But.........that based on the rather bizarre theory that greater equality equates to.......I think you said the destruction of the criminal justice and educational systems. Because you have an extremely prejudiced view of black people based on.......well.........the fact that they're black. I wish I could say I admire your honesty but not about a belief like that.

    The art that you posted is of white people,,,,but are Jews white?

    “This is not merely a semantic issue,” Micha Danzig wrote in a column in the Forward. “Jews are not ‘white.’ We are a tribal people from the Levant. Many of our people were forcibly exiled out of and into other nations, including in Europe, where we were taken in chains and often subjected to brutal and oppressive institutional racism based on our ethnicity, tribal affiliation, culture and faith.”

    You know, your lack of admiration bothers me. It bothers me a lot. On long winter nights I lay awake brooding about it.

    I have known Jews with different opinions who insisted they were White. But to Micha Danzig I say tough toenails. We Whites will appropriate what we want and discard that which we don't. What is the point of White Supremacy if you have to respect other cultures?

    What about the painting, then? Would you have it destroyed?

    With a Democrat? Someone with a functioning brain. Difficult to find in these politically correct times. Not evident thus far among professed candidates, beginning with Joe "Half-Sentences" Biden. I read that Elizabeth Warren is running for chief of Oklahoma. Rule her out as well.

    If AOC qualifies in the general election, he's a shoo-in.

    Even eight years of say a Bush II would (*grits teeth*) be better than four of AOC.

    Accuse your enemy of that which you yourself are guilty. Alinsky 101.

    Are you planning to channel Bill Clinton?
