    Do you think they even know that the Demos are the ones calling for Northam to resign? That Kamala Harris and Julian Castro are calling him to resign? That Warren is calling on him to resign?

    They have to be aware of that much, Right?

    many in the south still feel that way about appearing in black face


    by the way, up north during the Mummer's Day Parade in Philadelphia, many performers appears in brown or red face - this is offensive to many Hispanics and Native Americans but is done every year without any negative consequences

    When people burn or otherwise disrespect the American flag the left says it's just a piece of cloth, but when they see a confederate flag it's hair on fire time even though it's been around for a long time and no one gave a hoot until they were told to be offended by it, and they promptly and obediently complied.

    Mexico is corrupt, brutally violent and treats their people so poorly that many of them risk their lives to come here, yet no one on the left complains about Mexican flags.

    Cuba imprisons people for practically no reason at all, they've executed people for whatever reason they wanted, yet a high school student can wear the Cuban flag and no one on the left complains.

    I won't even mention the Che Guevara tee shirts or the leftist groups who wave the communist flag of Russia around.

    What it all comes down to is the left were told to hate something they've never previously had a problem with.

    You are bound to make me think this early AM, aren't you...:)

    My personal feelings on blackface (or any color face other than your own) is complicated, but at the end of the day, I suppose it really doesn't matter to me long term, but I'm also a white man. I know that's not the "party line" of most including Dem's, but I suspect many feel the same way. There have been times over the recent years that many have been slammed (Ted Danson??) for doing it, but he's still a successful (ehh) working actor.

    This belongs in the Northam thread(s), but that brings up the Michael Jackson self admission. Strangely, since it's politically terrible to tell the truth, I feel he told the truth and I don't want to slay him for that. Is putting some shoe polish on your face to "be" Michael Jackson in 1984 in a dance contest a horrible thing?? I personally don't think so... It may sound terrible today, but in context, it might have actually looked worse (stick with me here) for a white man to try and dance like Michael WITHOUT a nod to his race.... That sounded better in my head than it looks on my screen, but I'm not going to delete it.

    I suspect that anybody applying blackface anywhere in the country today doesn't have political aspirations.

    none of those issues are exactly on point here - but if you are angry at certain people defending foreign enemies, then you should angry at your Republicans for financing and enabling Hitler and the Bolsheviks as I have previously proven

    Arkansas: One of the blue stars on the Arkansas flag commemorates the Confederacy. (In 1987, then-governor Bill Clinton signed a bill, which had passed unanimously, reaffirming the flag design.) The state issues Sons of Confederate Veterans license plates and observes Confederate Flag Day in conjuction with Confederate Memorial Day and Arkansas Confederate History and Heritage Month.

    Nixon's approach to nominations centered on those determined to be strict Constitutionalists. Therefore, party was not a factor in the selection process. Chief Justice Burger, nominated by Nixon, voted to deny Nixon's executive privilege claim in the Watergate scandal, which sealed Nixon's fate.

    Litmus tests for acceptable ideological bias in SCOTUS nominees from Democrat President's is a liberal standard.

    All those Democrats in Southern States sure didn't have any trouble taking pictures in front of a Confederate Flag. I wonder why the leftness doesn't break out their History book of Photos.

    I believe they are all citizens and have not heard them call for any treasonous acts.

    both of these events happens over 30 years ago, should both resign? I am betting neither will and the people can not force them too anymore then they can force Trump too
