Century-old Francis Scott Key monument defaced with 'racist anthem' in Baltimore

I don't suppose you have ANY idea about how ironic the nuance/compromise comments are coming from a Trump supporter?

what are you trying to say?
Is it Trump supporters are dumb assed racists with no ability to discern "shades of grey?" what?

I swear thing.
I don't know if you realize it or not but your smugness coupled with inexact language
reads like sanctimonious bullshit.

Like I give a fuck. No - what I'm trying to say is that your man Trump doesn't give a shite about nuance, compromise, truth or history. That's what I'm trying to say.

Dummy.

I've seen him compromise with the Republicans on repeals/skinny repeal to no avail. But compromise he did

How many POTUS would meet with the opposite party leadership to try to deal ( compromise)
for DACA and the wall/border security?
You can be sure Obama would never take a meeting solely with McConnell and Ryan dealing on a major issue.

You got this cartoon character of Trump in your head that Fake News shoves in your brain,
but you don't think things out. Pity. I know you have the intelligence to do so. you'd rather be a reactionary mind

I have a cartoon character of Trump in my mind because he IS a cartoon character.

The end.

OK thing , whatever you say ( and it isn't much here)

He is, anatta. I suppose I am one of the deranged people you speak of, because I have almost no tolerance anymore for people who seem to be sleepwalking through this admin and inexplicably can't see what most of the rest of us could see the minute Trump came down that escalator.

It's not a 'fake news' fabrication. We see it every damned day in his tweets, speeches, rallies and comments. This person is not a leader, or a role model, or honest, or capable.

you see what you want to see. I have excoriated him for his Tweets. Yet his politics are centrist compromise, and he's worked tirelessly for Obama repeal
( whether you agree or not)

He's put NK on notice -unlike the Obama adm's "strategic patience" ( read: kicking the can down the road)
that a nuclear NK is intolerable and "all options are on the table."

The one meeting he had with Putin resulted in the longest sustained ceasefire in Syria
I don't see him blustering about regime change either like Hillary/Obama did.

He's rolled back silly and onerous reg like the EPA's WOTUS

Perhaps if I saw a more nuanced balanced approach from you - not simply mindless criticism
I'd take your ideas more seriously.

I love how important the polls are when they favor your POV.

How's about Trump's approval there, Darthie? How is that one panning out for '18 and '20?

I'm sure people will care more about the monument thing than how they feel about POTUS and the majority. Not.

I was just pointing out how your party is on the wrong side of the issue.

Granted, it's not an earth shattering issue but you guys can't expect to get back to winning with that sort of thing.

Same level? Did Jefferson take up arms against the country? Did he lead an army against it?

So going against your country only involves picking up a gun? Interesting that you believe that to be the case.

You don't have a mind, NL.

He never said that, another that sees things that aren't there.

Oh, you're another one of those, huh?

More reason to "study"?

People can study them all they want. What YOU need to get is that constructing a statue for someone is an honor, and a celebration of their lives in many cases. How you can't see the problem there is such an insane disconnect.

idiot.
If you looked at the life of Robert E.Lee you'd see MORE reasons then just his command to honor him..
(celebration of his life)
I weep for the dumbing down of America.

Okay. Thanks for the sage, well-reasoned advice.

Who is the idiot?

You keep ignoring the important point about that. Just like a Nazi - once you take up arms to defend a great evil, the rest doesn't really matter.

I weep for your lack of moral code & perspective.

Oh, and anatta? The statue is him as a soldier.

Dopey.

When you differentiated between Jefferson and Lee with the statement involving taking up arms.

If you're going to be a troll, try to at least be a good one, nigger. If you can't be a good one, move on to something else you probably also suck at doing.

Sorry - you'll have to show me the exact verbiage where I said taking up arms was the ONLY way to go against your country.

I'll wait. You won't find it - you don't read anything correctly.

A 106-year-old statue honoring Star Spangled Banner writer Francis Scott Key was defaced in Baltimore early Wednesday.

Officials say they received a report that the monument had been vandalized around 6:30 a.m., painted with the words, "Racist Anthem."

Key's monument is made mostly of marble, with a gold base and a gold statue of the famed anthem written on top. Police say the monument was tagged with black lettering and red paint.

Baltimore has seen a spat of vandalism targeting historical monuments in the past weeks including damage to a statue of Christopher Columbus. It also comes following the city's overnight removal of four monuments linked to the Confederacy last month.

The statue was dedicated in 1911 to honor Key, an attorney who was being held captive aboard a British ship off Fort McHenry during the War of 1812, when he wrote what would later become America's national anthem.

Can anyone be surprised by the Liberal agenda to turn the nation into a Marxist utopia?

it's how he is mostly recognized -his reason for fame,
and the reason he was president of Washington and Lee University.
