Texas Democrat Resigns after Calling Tim Scott an ‘Oreo’

[Cow Poke]

Re the Twitter trend of "Uncle Tim" I would agree it was extremely inappropriate language with distasteful racial connotations.

Thanks.

Not going to deal with the rest of your derail.

When Republicans get offended, Democrats resign in apology for having offended them.

Examples of Democrats resigning after offending a Republican please.

Those are not mutually exclusive positions. Free speech can be extremely inappropriate language with distasteful racial connotations.

Yes, the biblical version is

Scripture Verse: 1 Cor 10:

23“All things are lawful,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful,” but not all things build up.

Just because you CAN say it doesn't mean you should.

The same thing here as well, largely because you couldn't find a character on TV that wasn't espousing the liberal party line as gospel, so they glommed onto the only one who wasn't. I suspect it was basically the same in Great Britain.

You would also have to consider the political situation in England from the late 1940s with the increased immigration from former colonial countries and the economic problems which began manifesting in the 1950s. Despite an initial post war boom, from the early 1950s onwards Britain's economic growth was slower than that of other industrialised nations. The contrast in factory conditions prevalent in 1967 at the respective production plants for two iconic cars of the era, the Morris Mini and the Volkswagen Beetle, illustrate that.

As for the British sit-com the first transmissions began in 1965 on BBC. A public broadcasting corporation that has since, at least the 1960s, been accused of being both the mouth piece of the Establishment and a hotbed of Marxists and assorted "Lefties" depending on who was making the accusation and their own political persuasion.

Why is responding your comments a derail?

Because you are prone to wander.

It was a pretty hectic time in the U.S. during that time as well.

I'll never forget how my Jr. High wood shop instructor used to say, "As Archie Bunker once said..."

I addressed your remarks.

When, the past, I have ignored remarks in your posts, you have become irritated. So please make your mind up.

Or do not make comments you do not wish to be addressed.

Your silly notion that I "become irritated" is... well... silly. And I'll respond however I wish given the circumstances.

Or do not make comments you do not wish to be addressed.

It's none of your business to tell me how to comment. You're just doing your thing where you have to turn everything (like the post to which I am responding) into a derail.

No more "silly" than your contentions that I get irritated.

Oh the hypocrisy is quite stupendous. Have you looked at the posts on my police corruption thread that had absolutely nothing to do with the thread itself? Many of them were made by you. Whitened sepulchres abound on this site.

As to this thread, I made comments that were pertinent to your remarks.

If you do not want your comments to be addressed, do not make them. It's really very simple.

I contend that?

You do realize that the content of her post was 100% derail bait, right?

I would be shocked -- and stunned -- if she were to post ANYTHING other than serious dialogue. You are SO suspicious!!!

[rogue06]

You are SO suspicious!!!

You say that like you have a point.

As you'un of all folks has prolly thunk it through by now, just because I tend to give posters the benefit of the doubt doesn't mean I actually believe it.

Could you please post that little fella who looks like he gets it, then kinda looks confused, like "not so much"?
