Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Also handy if you've got nothing original to contribute.

Of course you don't have any problems with it. There's an opening on Rover's staff.

We could use an in house legal team here at Rover Nation and would take a unofan application very seriously. ;)

As an aside it may be hard to believe but Old Pio is a major contributor to my cult, I mean organization. He's sorta like a Grampa Simpson type figure. We'll put up with his incoherent ramblings while we go about the our business at headquarters as long as he keeps writing the checks. :)

North Carolina is looking to ban the sales of internet car sales. Many don't find it surprising as Tesla is starting to take off.

I'd put that up against the worst of big govt, anti business legislation anywhere.

Isn't the cheapest Tesla model still $60k+? Seems like a tiny percentage of the market for dealers to be fretting over.

The ladies in the chorale better hope Mr. Liebowitz (et al) stay healthy. Otherwise, they'd be SOL, bereft (even more than now) of anything relevant to say.

You would, having invested exactly zero in a dealership which represents your life's work.

Explain to me again how using the IRS to profile American citizens, whose only "crime" is to oppose Little Dick, is morally, ethically and legally the same as profiling terrorists. The ladies are big believers in the First Amendment, except when they aren't.

I see little issue with the IRS scrutinizing people extremely when they are filing for tax exempt status. It's not a first amendment issue unless you're too drooling all over yourself stupid to realize that the IRS wasn't stopping any political group from speaking their mind. Last I checked, individuals were still taxed for various things, is that a violation of the first amendment as well? :rolleyes:

Come on Foxton, you know that all tax is theft.

Why Have Military Bases Honoring Confederate Generals?

IN the complex and not entirely complete process of reconciliation after the Civil War, honoring the dead with markers, tributes and ceremonies has played a crucial role. Some of these gestures, like Memorial Day, have been very successful. The practice of decorating the graves arose in many towns, north and south, some even before the war had ended. This humble idea quickly spread throughout the country, and the recognition of common loss helped reconcile North and South.

But other gestures had a more a political edge. Equivalence of experience was stretched to impute an equivalence of legitimacy. The idea that “now, we are all Americans” served to whitewash the actions of the rebels. The most egregious example of this was the naming of United States Army bases after Confederate generals.

Today there are at least 10 of them. Yes — the United States Army maintains bases named after generals who led soldiers who fought and killed United States Army soldiers; indeed, who may have killed such soldiers themselves.

Only a couple of the officers are famous. Fort Lee, in Virginia, is of course named for Robert E. Lee, a man widely respected for his integrity and his military skills. Yet, as the documentarian Ken Burns has noted, he was responsible for the deaths of more Army soldiers than Hitler and Tojo. John Bell Hood, for whom Fort Hood, Tex., is named, led a hard-fighting brigade known for ferocious straight-on assaults. During these attacks, Hood lost the use of an arm at Gettysburg and a leg at Chickamauga, but he delivered victories, at least for a while. Later, when the gallant but tactically inflexible Hood launched such assaults at Nashville and Franklin, Tenn., his armies were smashed.

Let me know when we name a military base after Osama bin Laden.

Does this mean you also have no problem with Big Dick's similar use of the IRS? The problem, of course, is not "scrutinizing people extremely" as you so ignorantly put it. It is "scrutinizg people extremely" who don't agree with Little Dick. And your moral obtuseness and hagiography of "the one" blinds you to that distinction. At least you're not being hypocritical: you think it's appropriate to use the agencies of the federal government to harass, intimidate and punish your enemies. Very nice.

Old enough to recognize reflexive libtard bull sh*t when I read it. Now all the libtard a*sholes on the upper east side will have even more reasons to condescend to our military. And on Memorial Day weekend, yet. These people wouldn't know the difference between an M-16 and an erector set.
