Guard Dog Posted September 17, 2020 Posted September 17, 2020 Trump Camp Insists They Do Not Need Florida to Win Yeah, that is all kind of wrong. First of all it's Trump's home state. Only Polk and Nixon have ever won without carrying their home state. Second there are four big electoral prizes, New York, California, Texas and Florida. New York and California will never, ever, ever elect a Republican to national office again. Oh they will still send 'em to Albany and Sacramento but not to DC. The Democrats will never win Texas. Two words: gun control. They can win everything on I-35 from Round Rock to Laredo but they are never going to "turn Texas Blue". So that means Florida is pretty important. If Biden wins Florida he goes into the rest of the night with 3 aces in his had and two cards to draw. Trump would have one and looking at drawing against a made hand. Fun fact, the last President who didn't win Florida was JFK in 1960. You guys know what that means right? As much as we pick on the Sunshine State we are all it's bitches! Think about THAT for a moment! "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell
Malcador Posted September 17, 2020 Posted September 17, 2020 Solution is simple. Eliminate Florida. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra

HA! Good Fun! ps perhaps @Hurlshot could join the commision and give pointers to the fed regarding how they would possible implement and enforce such silliness. fed provides dollars to states for education-- is their leverage. state and local education departments will actual need develop means o' implementing . as such hurl may aid in creating a scheme which improves historical patriotism in the classroom and somehow measures such. is amusing to imagine the resulting standardized tests but only if trump ain't reelected. fact something is impractical and unconstitutional is not an obstacle for trump and barr.

Right...because the Soviet Union didn't finance millions of dollars into subverting American culture and definitively Tentcent and all those Chinese companies financing American entertainment aren't doing the same. Also American professors aren't being arrested because of financial ties to China. And very obviously; Communist groups born from leftist propaganda that vilifies the rich whites, aren't rioting and causing property damage. Now on another conspiracy news, water is wet only if you dip your toes in it. Look, if you're so above explaining American law to us mere humans then I don't have the time to gather all the evidence for a proper discussion, because I don't obsessively gather news articles and historical documents in board just in case I someday have to prove a point. Specially since people are lazy, or have other interests that are more worthy of their time. But the simple matter is that preponderance of leftist media has shaped a culture of leftists zealots that are now rioting in masse across the country. Now we might disagree whether that lean left was natural or influenced but the fact is...there's a national group of belligerents praising Marxism and you know the beginning of the Soviet Afghan war, you know how useful idiots are made. 1 I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
Gromnir Posted September 18, 2020 Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) to help get you started, perhaps you should research the daughters of the confederacy and their efforts to promote the teaching o' a more enlightened and positive historical narrative. spoiler: the ladies o' the south were disturbing successful although 'course such schemes necessarily need happen at the state and local level. heck, is more than a few examples o' southerners posting on this board which show just how powerful a tool were the motivated teaching o' patriotism to school children. not need look very far for examples... not far at all. HA! Good Fun! ps is amusing, but is more than a few times on these boards where we felt compelled to defend US education from europeans or others who see our nation's ubiquitous displays o' patriotism and is startled. worse, folks such as oro gives europeans a chance to seize on the worst aspects o' so-called american exceptionalism they imagine is taught in every school. many times we has pointed out how hurl and other teachers is not only teaching the rosy-hued narrative o' US and world events. we do indeed get the darker aspects o' american history taught along with the heroic stuff, at least such is the case in most places. ... is gotta seem surreal to the europeans that there is a segment o' americans who genuine believe there ain't enough o' the 'Murica, F#@% yeah! being taught in US schools.
