FDR was what we needed at the time. I feel he possibly saved the country from a NAZI or Communist future.

Dale, I was not a criticizing anything you said, that was just a statement about FDR. I thought you were attempting to be humorist. You don’t really think that FDR was a Communist, do you?

See: Theo Epstein!

Wrong! Theo was present for the 2004 ceremony (in 2005), in the front row of the audiencwce, not on the stage with the players. In 2007 he was absent because of family reasons/scheduling. Note that at least three other Bruins players were absent bc of family/scheduling issues - which of course isn't the problem. Theo *never* used the ceremony for political purposes.

"States Rights" has been a lame-ass excuse for stripping black human beings of all rights for 150 years. Get over it, the south lost and you are wrong morally.

I think I am going to scream. I feel like Claudius when he says to his son Britannicus, I have planned all this you are to returned and bring back the republic. And Britannicus says, “No one cares about the republic anymore “. States’ rights are not necessarily about oppressing blacks. It refers the limited power of the national government in a federation. It could just as easily refer to the central government’s lack of power to regulated in state medical Marijuana.

And referring to segregation, any republic or democracy will reflect the attitudes of the voters.

Don't ever stop being who you are. The humour quotient of the world would go down considerably.

Well, I have to say that it's not coming as a huge surprise to me that there are rude assholes playing in the National Hockey League....

If playing the fool, as you imply, would help me get my message out, do you think I would care?
Unlike you I consider the messages more important than myself.

You would care if only you realized the message that was actually being transmitted, which is quite different from the one you intend.

But hey, what should I care if you go on hanging yourself?

Other than the entertainment value you provide, that is.

I recall this sort of thing happening to most presidents. I think it is misguided on the part of the "protester"; this is a ceremonial event where the office of the president celebrates the success of the team. It should be a feel good moment for the team. If this guy played football, he'd be a wide receiver.

Stop being a mindless fuck. "States Rights" in January 1861 were about the right to teat black people like cattle.

"States Rights" in 1961 were about the right to teat black people like cattle and blame "northern agitators" for the fact that blacks had had enough.

This thread is not about race relations in the south; this is a more important subject or at least it should be to Americans. I have no control over others but I plan to stick to the subject. When I have time I will be glad to discuss the history of race relations in the south.
If we do discuss that subject we will have to ask ourselves some questions. Such as, are most people basically good? What caused the segregation laws and what where their intent? And why did the north exasperate race relations in the south during the occupation?

First killingAt the age of 15, Hardin challenged his uncle Holshousen's former slave, Mage, to a wrestling match which Hardin won.[3] According to Hardin, the following day, Mage hid by a path and attacked him as he rode past. Hardin drew his revolver and fired five shots into Mage. Hardin claims he then rode to get help for the wounded ex-slave (who died three days later).Because James Hardin did not believe his son would receive a fair hearing in the Union-occupied state (where more than a third of the state police were ex-slaves) he ordered his son into hiding (even though this event could have been deemed self-defense by contemporary Texas law).[3] Hardin claims that the authorities eventually discovered his location, and sent three Union soldiers to arrest him. Hardin said he chose to confront his pursuers despite having been warned of their approach by older brother, Joe.[12][13]

I waylaid them, asI had no mercy on men whom I knew only wanted to get my body to torture and kill. It was war to the knife for me, and I brought it on by opening the fight with a double-barreled shotgun and ended it with a cap and ball six-shooter. Thus it was by the fall of 1868 I had killed four men and was myself wounded in the arm.8

Revenge is never a good basis for governmental policy it only causes resitance.

That is all I will say on the subject if you want any more you will have to start another string.

You will notice that simply being in FDR's presence is so thrilling for Churchill and Stalin that they are both struggling to hide their erections.

What a guy...

FDR sitting next to the mass murdering psychopath Stalin really says nothing about FDR other than he was a pragmatist. We were using Stalin against the NAZI in the same way we later used third world dictators against the communist. We and the British were using the communist and Churchill summed it up for both of our nations when he said, “I would deal with the Devil to save my country”. And we did.

[Gob]

You were not using Stalin. Not in any way shape or form.

[Scooter]

Ditto third world dictators, who took you for fools, knowing that all they needed to do was whisper "communist" in your ear and the purse strings would come undone.
