An angry response to a post criticizing the Confederacy posted by a Republican, and being recommended by four Republicans. It's amazing how far your party has fallen.

The SPLC is not a trustworthy organization. Look at what they did to Maajid Nawaz. All of their labelings are suspect, and these things need to be handled on a case by case basis.

Oh please. They f***** up big time on that case and admitted it and paid substantial well-earned damages. And Morris Dees near the end of his tenure was a hot mess of sexual harassment and fiscal mismanagement. However, the organization is recovered mightily since his stepping down. The ratio of the good things splc has done, and more importantly the very accurate assessment they've done of hate groups from both the right and the left wing how's that numbered they're F UPS by about a hundred to one.

He thinks this is simply a painful reality check about just how intermeshed once mainstream Republican conservatism has become with unreserved hate groups.

Disturbing precedent.

It's been twenty-four hours. Have you been able to figure out what you find "disturbing" about this move and what "precedent" you think it creates?

Cody has spoken for me, and we think largely in accord on this specific issue.
In general though, I'm hostile to the idea of some misguided cultural radicalism reshaping this country's fabric and this move is cut from that mold. I hate the self-glorifying putdown of past things this move represents and runs rampant in our society, and I feel this nation's history is something we can be proud of, overall.

Steps like this are not how we produce a more perfect union. This only screams of a less sane America version of "#Landback", which is a fantasy that is neither feasible nor inclusive to the broad majority. Unjustly robbing people today of their rights as citizens of this country is not the solution to the crimes of the past. Elevating the minority's worldview and considering it the only one that matters is very much against the spirit of democracy. Our glorious collective history is the property of everyone, and undermining that is taking from every American. This move is a step in that direction and one I firmly oppose.

American public lands are the property of each and every American, and I have the right to move around in the Black Hills regardless of what a Lakota or Sioux person tells me.

Tell me Tim, was renaming a mountain from "n#####r head Joe Peak" a dangerous slippery slope of political correctness?
