JEFFERSON DAVIS WAS A DEMOCRAT!

Steve King is an idiot, obviously. The second part of your statement is asinine.
Let's not pretend that "wars, famine, plagues, pillaging, mass murder and slave trade" were a province of western civilization only. Or that anyone had any control over famines (usually drought caused) and plagues in those days.

Best thing about western civilization was that first Decline movie with all the great punk bands.

I believe DJT is an idiot and has no idea what he's encouraging. Also, just as a point, the GOP platform and the diarrhea that comes from DJT are most often wholly separate entities.

Is anyone advocating for a statue of Byrd? Why bring up statues if not to troll now guy?
Nobody is defending Byrd wasn't an ### in his lifetime...none of that has a damn thing to do with King.
Do you support what King is saying? Its a simple yes or no question. And the only relevant thing right now.

I never pretended either of those things were true. Though some famines were preventable.

Can you provide a few examples where Trump's idiocy resulted in him encouraging things that weren't consistent with white nationalism?

Footballguy
I disagree with this. Trump is the GOP now. He's taken it over and they have let him have it.

Seems like you would then agree he is unfit for office and needs to be removed via the 25th amendment.

I understand that you very much want this to be true, and I wish it was, too. But it just ain't.

Yet...you chimed into a thread and brought up Robert Byrd...as if that affects you or anyone at this point?
So...basically, you admit here you brought up Byrd simply to get a reaction from other posters on a message board?
Thats pretty odd behavior...and telling that you can't even comment about King's words and actions.

No. I am saying that his isn't news now because Byrd was the same way and it wasn't news then.

But you care about things that don't affect you, right? Your comment seems odd. I don't really understand it.

That's why it was so helpful for you to turn the thread into a discussion of Robert Byrd, because he's the real villain here who continues to haunt us from beyond the grave. You are doing great work in this thread.

Robert Byrd affected me as I was born and raised in WV. The best thing that happened was when he passed and he was finally out of office.

Footballguy
Yeah, it was. Thus, the apology and the change in his position. If Steve King wants to disavow his white nationalist position now and spend the next 30 years or so working to fight racism, maybe in 2050 or so he'll be in the same position as Byrd.

A. It is news now because King is currently in Congress.
B. Byrd was the same way in the 60s and 70s before changing...which makes the comparison irrelevant to today.
C. That you can't even comment on something as inherently racist as what King is saying is pretty odd....as is commenting on the thread at all if you don't really care...which again leads me to believe your motives in this thread (as in others) is not about actual discussion but derailing actual discussion.

I think you do...I think everyone does...what will be done about that is the question.

Thread title is so weird.
Guys, Steve King is a white nationalist wherever he is.

Funny. You've responded to him 4 times in this thread already so hard to say he's derailing anything
Guys, stop being so hard on my boy, here. Be nicer to new guys to the board.
Besides, it's my job to be hard on him.
I saw a couple people ask but haven't seen an answer (unless I missed in in the Byrd trolling). Anyway, the House can expel a member. Seems unlikely to happen, but there is procedure for it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expulsion_from_the_United_States_Congress

It is a rare thing for grown men, especially as they get older, to evolve. Senator Byrd ought to be celebrated as someone who developed uncommon empathy and grace in his mid-60s. That is rare and commendable.

He spent the last three decades of his life trying to make amends for his former actions and thinking.

You do know he apologized for that and made it his life's work to atone for it.
You won't admit to that and you won't admit to being a banned alias.

"The Rain In Maine Falls Mainly On Steve King, A White Nationalist." Haven't you ever heard that?
Joe Summer

And that's a bad thing?
That really was a good read. I can’t find it in myself to feel any sympathy for the people who populate those communities though. It’s a dilemma sure, but have some integrity then and take a stand, not hide in the shadows with your big dirty secret. I’m sorry, but they are complicit in where we are now. What is the real difference between welfare cheats (almost always characterized as minorities) and these farms reliant on undocumented labor? I guess it’s because they’re white and “honest hard working people” (which implies that those the right demonizes are the opposite).
If anything that article made me dislike those “salt of the earth” midwesteners. You don’t agree with Trump et al immigration stance? Then don’t vote in politicians who militantly support it. Apparently it’s not all that important to them after all...or at least not as important as whatever conservative values they think their votes are advocating for. I wonder what those might be.
Sand
Footballguy
Absolutely. Sorry, maybe it's just me, but being in the KKK should be a disqualifying event for public office.

That’s the classic gateway to white nationalism and white supremacism. Agreed, he’s one all right.

I was talking about your comparison to Franken, who was accused of committing sex crimes while in office. It just seemed like a weird comparison to make, almost like you were lamenting the fact that the current Democratic party shows no tolerance for those accused of committing sex crimes while in office.

I don’t believe I asked you...I asked the person who stated “I believe DJT is an idiot and has no idea what he's encouraging. “. (His words).
That seems to indicate he is at least one of those things.

I don't agree. You do know Werner Von Braun was a Nazi, right? But he realized his error, and came to work for us and developed the rockets that allowed us to send a man to the moon.
If people are willing to change their minds, they should always be forgiven for previous beliefs. Not actions- if you did something seriously wrong in your past, that's different. But beliefs should be forgiven.

Can you help me understand why the GOP is refusing to allow a vote to end the government shutdown? It seems Trump wants the shutdown. Why is the GOP falling in line if they're theoretically wholly separate entities?
