My son met Donaldson and said he is the most arrogant rude self obsorbed individual he had ever met. He was at the GOP convention in Philadelphia attending a small private party hosted for Nancy Reagan. Bush and Barbara there, and other dignitaries. But my son was astounded the degree of arrogance in Donalson, which goes off the map he said.

Civil wars are most often chaotic cluster f***s.

By that definition, I know which one we are headed towards.

She likes to think its civilized to steal other peoples money for Health Care, like slave owners did when they worked their slaves.

You “Betcha” Cokie, this is war. If You keep stealing my hard earned dollars to feed a fat pig who sleeps half the day while collecting welfare you better expect a violent reaction. Only a moron would stand for this.

Oddly there is still an ammunition shortage, it’s like people keep picking up a box or 2 when they see it.

I’ve been having good luck stopping by Bass Pro & Cabela’s.
I even found a good brick of subsonic .22. That was the first ammo to disappear.

I have not watched “This Week” in quite a few years and actually thought Miss Cokie had retired from ABC. She is one of those New Orleans liberals, and they are among the most committed people on earth.

Cokie Boggs Roberts is the society-girl daughter of Hale and Lindy Boggs, both of whom represented the Louisiana 2CD for many, many years -- about 40 years+, I think.

Hale disappeared in a light aircraft in Alaska in the early 60's, and Lindy ran for and got his seat.

She walked the liberal-Democratic line for years, carrying water for her majority-black district until the black ministers came for her about 8-10 years ago and delivered the news: "It's time for one of our own."

Wonder if either Lindy or Cokie learned anything from that?

Lindy Boggs - In 1997, President Bill Clinton appointed her official U.S. ambassador to the Holy See, a position she held until 2001.

She is the widow of former House Majority Leader Hale Boggs, and the mother of three children: Cokie Roberts (a television news commentator), Thomas Hale Boggs, Jr., (a prominent lobbyist), and the late Barbara Boggs Sigmund, a mayor of Princeton, New Jersey, and a candidate in the 1982 New Jersey Democratic senatorial primary election.

******

After Brown v. Board of Education he (Hale Boggs) signed the Southern Manifesto condemning desegregation in the 1950s and opposed the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

In April 1971 he (Hale Boggs) made a speech on the floor of the House, strongly attacking FBI Director J Edgar Hoover, and the whole of the FBI. This led to a conversation between then President Richard Nixon and the Republican Minority Leader Gerald Ford in which Nixon said he could no longer take counsel from Boggs as a senior member of Congress. In the recording of this call, Nixon is heard to ask Ford to arrange for the House delegation to include an alternative to Boggs. Ford speculates that Boggs is on pills as well as alcohol.

I may be very wrong, but my understanding of the Nullification issue dates back to 1828, not 1854.

“Then the Civil war was more of a revolution then a Civil war? What do you call it when the feds declare war on half the populace?”

Are you talking about the American “Civil War?” That conflict was misnamed. It was not a civil war, but rather was a war for Southern Independence. When the feds declare war on any of its citizens, it is called tyranny.
