This has the potentially of ended our country as we have known it for 240 years.

It is STILL in great danger. Think about the fact that Lindsey Graham and others in the GOP say the Senate should not perform its constitutional duty and hold a trial of djt because it will lead to violence. That is EXACTLY how Italy became a fascist country. It is how the Nazi's obtained actual power. The WORST thing that could happen is this past and continued violence would lead to radical changes in the execution of our Constitutional democracy.

Like it or not, it is irrefutable that neo-nazi's and white supremacists have cuckold this party thorough donald trump. The trump supporters at the Capitol may not be part of that movement, but they were their battering ram to invade the Capitol. TODAY, it has the potential to take over the entire movement and put us into a war against domestic terrorists that make radical Islam seem quaint.

WE ARE BY NO MEANS OUT OF THE WOODS AND WE'RE ENTERING THE MOST DANGEROUS TIME IN OUR HISTORY.

If the Europeans Had Not Settled the New World?

Posted By Darian Rachal

For some reason, this question crossed my mind recently. If the Incas in Peru, the Aztecs in Mexico, and the American Indians had not been conquered by the Europeans, nor any other culture, and essentially been left alone, what do you think the state of these areas would be like now? Do you think that the Native American Indians would still be living as they were when the Europeans arrived? Would the Aztecs still be engaged in human sacrifice?

Richard, I sent a friend of mine a text, asking him this question. Regarding the Aztec human sacrifice, he compared it  to the countless abortions that occur each year in the US.

Regionalisms, accents, vowel shifts etc. are a fascinating study...

David, years ago I had a friend from Connecticut that moved down here(central Louisiana) to take care of her parents. One of the sayings she could never get used to was, instead of saying "I'm going to the store.", we sometimes say "I'm fixin' to go to the store.". grin Regarding Coke, it's the same here as in GA.

You can get it at midwayusa.com. It is cheap and great for everything.

Barry, you probably didn't notice, but this thread is 6 years old. I hope he's fixed the problem by now.wink

Rush Limbaugh dead at 70

Posted By Darian Rachal

You're right, Jim. My stepfather got me listening to him when he first came on the air on WWL New Orleans. That was before he was on the air locally and I had to try to pick him up for a short period from New Orleans or KEEL Sheveport.

He'll definitely be missed and is certainly irreplaceable.🙂
