In other words, when you have no viable response to the truth, you beg
out of the conversation. There is nothing I have said that is not reasonable statement of facts, as opposed to what comes out of Trump's lips all too often.

Dale, to an outside viewer looking in, there are some surprising facts that has appeared lately, that I do not understand.

1. What are the US senators doing on their paid time? I watched them on their walk of shame going to a lunch, and all of them said more or less that they "haven't seen it" with regards to the shameful military attack on peaceful protesters on Lafayette Square.

2. How and when could you end up naming ten big military bases after generals fighting and losing one of the bloodiest wars on USA in history? How can you still respect their (confederate) flag, and yet deny that there is a systematic racism in the USA?

Those art the Republican senators who have lost their spine and are
afraid of Trump.

I only recently read about how that happened -- the Federal Government
needed the Southern States to donate land for those forts. Naming them
after Southern Generals helped to grease the deal. Until recently, I
had not paid attention to who the forts were named after and what their
history was. Even though I was in training classes at Fort Benning,
Georgia -- it was just a name. Ditto for Fort Devons, Mass.

And I do not respect the confederate battle flag nor condone its usage anywhere. Somehow, my position on that is stronger than the names.

Hello Dale,

Dale, to an outside viewer looking in, there are some
surprising facts that has appeared lately, that I do not
understand.

1. What are the US senators doing on their paid time? I watched
them on their walk of shame going to a lunch, and all of them said
more or less that they "haven't seen it" with regards to
the shameful military attack on peaceful protesters on
Lafayette Square.

Those art the Republican senators who have lost their spine and are
afraid of Trump.

How many of them who are up for election will be willing to fall on
their sword for Trump this November?

2. How and when could you end up naming ten big military
bases after generals fighting and losing one of the
bloodiest wars on USA in history? How can you still respect
their (confederate) flag, and yet deny that there is a
systematic racism in the USA?

I only recently read about how that happened -- the Federal Government needed the Southern States to donate land for those forts. Naming them after Southern Generals helped to grease the deal. Until recently, I
had not paid attention to who the forts were named after and what their history was. Even though I was in training classes at Fort Benning, Georgia -- it was just a name. Ditto for Fort Devons, Mass.

Trump does not have any problem with those names remaining in place.

And I do not respect the confederate battle flag nor condone its usage anywhere. Somehow, my position on that is stronger than the names.

Like it or not, it is part of our history. Should the confederate
flag be banned from museums, or historical reenactments? That would
be a stretch. A real stretch. Those who forget history are doomed
to repeat it. None of us should want to go through another divisive
war that pitted us fighting ourselves. And yet look at what we are
doing today.
