This war has me feeling more patriotic

Post by ajax18 »

I'm always inspired when the underdog is willing to fight as Ukraine is doing.

The Russian national anthem or the Stone's Sympathy for the Devil?
Cry Heaven and let loose the Penguins of Peace

I'm a Good Ol' Rebel

O I'm a good old rebel,
Now that's just what I am.
For this "fair land of freedom"
I do not care a damn.
I'm glad I fought against it,
I only wish we'd won,
And I don't want no pardon
For anything I done.

I hates the Constitution,
This great republic too,

I hates the Freedmans' Buro,
In uniforms of blue.
I hates the nasty eagle,
With all his braggs and fuss,
The lyin' thievin' Yankees,
I hates 'em wuss and wuss.

I hates the Yankees nation
And everything they do,
I hates the Declaration,
Of Independence, too.

I hates the glorious Union-
'Tis dripping with our blood-
I hates their striped banner,
I fought it all I could

I rode with Robert E. Lee,
For three year near about,
Got wounded in four places
And starved at Point Lookout
I caught the rheumatism
A campin' in the snow,
But I killed a chance o'Yankees
I'd like to kill some mo'.

Three hundred thousand Yankees
Is still in Southern dust,
We got three hundred thousand
Before they conquered us.
They died of Southern fever
And Southern steel and shot,
I wish they was three million
Instead of what we got.

I can't take up my musket
And fight 'em now no more,
But I ain't going to love 'em,
Now that is sarten sure,
And I don't want no pardon
For what I was and am.
I won't be reconstructed,
And I don't care a damn.


...

Wow.

No, I'm not Russian. Nobody I know is siding with Russia. That's your leftist attempt to spin his fraudulency's disastrous first year largely of his own making.

The fiddle was my favorite part of this tune. They say Robert Byrd won many an election with his fiddle.

Wow.
You want to call Mitt Romney a racist who Biden says wants to put black people back in chains. Maybe I should show you what racism actually is. And maybe I just don't care to try and save the United States from it's own woke self inflicted destruction anymore.

Oh, it’s out there, and was in full display last week at AFPAC, from host Nick Fuentes -

https://Twitter.com/keithboykin/status/ ... 41187?s=10

Fuentes: “You know, they say about America…diversity is our strength…and I look at China and I look at Russia. Can we give a round of applause for Russia?” –

(Cheers and claps)

Some folks in the crowd begin to chant, “Putin! Putin! Putin!” …

Who's calling anyone a racist? Where did that enter the conversation?

Nikole Hannah-Jones seems to think that we're only talking about Ukraine and helping them because Ukrainians are white.

Left-wing New York Times reporter and controversial 1619 Project creator Nikole Hannah-Jones was slammed online after accusing journalists covering the Russian invasion into Ukraine of “racialized analysis and language” in their reporting, indicating their “sympathy” for white victims of conflict and refugees in particular while claiming Europe is a fictional continent intended to separate it from non-“civilized” nations.

On Sunday, Hannah-Jones, author of the debunked New York Times 1619 Project, called on fellow journalists to “look internally” regarding acknowledging their racial biases in their coverage of the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine.
