In SC our roads are falling apart, most of the school districts suck, domestic violence is out of control - you would think we have enough to do,but no - some confederate wannabe shoots nine poor church people.

Yep. Not much you can do with people who wear their ignorance as a badge of honor. Proud to be stupid...........Yee Haw!!!

It is astonishing the amount of garbage people will believe and put forth in the name of protecting their pride. The insane part is that it's so counterproductive. The more hardheaded and stubborn they are the more asinine they look.

Get a load of these morons . http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/l...119-story.html

Legend has it that a bunch of Johnny Rebs emigrated here after the war and seeing as how strong the Tea Party is here, I'm not surprised.

They hear their uncles, fathers, mothers spout racist nonsense from the time they are born - I think the tide is turning, but it's slow.

Hopefully, some people are rethinking a few things lately - it took nine innocent people getting gunned down, but I hope at least some of the young people who were raised with that crap are saying, "wait - this can't be right - those people weren't hurting anyone and even asked that boy to pray with them."

It is unfortunate that with humanity, real change often takes a disaster to get it started.

The trouble is, trying to do that produces the opposite effect of what you say you want. That is, they don't get less full of ass and victimhood, they get more. That's how reactionaries react, I'm afraid....

Orange County, Bob.

Republican enclave.

Even the Klan is smart enough to seed where the soil is fertile.

As the saying goes, "I know not all Republicans are racists, but every racist I know is a Republican."

A less strident reaction. More possibility of actual communication.

These sore losers have had 150 years to get over it.

And they're still cryin, whinin, pissin and moanin.

I'm sick and tired of it.

Maybe it's time to send the United States Army in to kick some more ass.

Reading this thread it is easy to see why Trump the clown is able to generate such a huge following in a very short time with just a handful of slanderous comments.
