I'm not reading the entire thread because if this is any reason for your disapproval of Warren you're sucking eggs. I mean, really. That's it? She's not as Cherokee as she said she is? Give me a ****ing break! LOL! You are stretching big time to make some kind of point and you failed to the point of ridicule. She lied about her percentage of Cherokee ancestry! How could anyone vote for her? :lamo

I believe he had written the Army's artillery manual before the war started as well. While there are many good books which cover his efforts, the recently released "1861" was very enjoyable.

Nite-nite.

How exactly did Lincoln 'hang him out to dry'? What would you have suggested Lincoln order him to do? Surrender at the first demand? Would you have recommended an immediate attack by non-existant union forces in South Carolina to relieve him?

Lincoln did what he had to do and Major Anderson did what he had to do. The villains in all of this are the traitors that fired on the American flag and American soldiers and started the Civil War.
 
Eh. There were enough villains and heroes alike on both sides of that conflict.

You do not know the history of that episode. Lincoln promised reinforcements that he could not deliver. Resupply that he could not deliver. Anderson took much initiative, and extended the survival of that garrison far beyond what was expected. It was a huge propaganda victory for the North because of Anderson.

Next time, go somewhere else with your lack of knowledge. That's not a liberal thing, but give it a shot. Thanks.
 
The question left to ask is, are there any members of the Obama adminstration that aren't tainted by some bizarre, disingenous truth or characteristic?

It's like Barnum and Bailey in the White House these days.
 
This woman is a complete moron. This is the kind of professors that teach are children. She's in government now, perfect place for such a moron.
 
Well, it's good to know we'll keep that Senate Seat for at least another 6 years. But Brown has now had the advantage of running against two flawed candidates. He'd better stay focused for 2018.

That would seem the case. If he wins this one, he may be more effective these next 3-4 years than he was able to be these last two, just because he will not be as accountable in 2018 for things done 5-6 years prior.
 
There's still a long way to go before November. This flap will blow over and I think Warren will win.

Even if she doesn't, it looks like the Teabaggers may hand the Dems another seat by knocking out Lugar in Indiana. :lol:

Every tribe can set their own regulations for who is, and who is not a member of the tribe. I don't know what the Cherokee's criteria are, but some tribes do go as low as 1/32nd. I myself am 1/16 Hopi, but their cutoff is 1/8 ( I looked into it), so techincally my father could claim tribal membership (he doesn't, but that's up to him).

So basically, if she fits the Cherokee nation's criteria, she is well within her rights to claim to be a Native American.

It's 1/16th for Eastern Cherokee.

Lugar is pretty much an Obama slurped like Snowblow and collins in Maine. I don't think Indiana is going to vote for a dem in this fall's election

Lugar is a moderate conservative -- a dying breed -- and one of the few who can actually be reasonable on occasion. So of course he must go! We can't have legislators who are more concerned with serving their country than they are with adhering to a partisan check list. That will never do!

It's grown beyond the point of indefensible. A vote for Obama is virtually treasonous at this point.

And just when I thought you had reached the limit to worthless hyperbole.

It's one thing to disagree with the President's policies, but to say things like this...

well there is much truth to the bumper sticker wisdom of

IF YOU VOTED FOR OBAMA LAST TIME TO PROVE YOU ARE NOT RACIST
YOU HAVE TO VOTE FOR MITT THIS TIME TO PROVE YOU ARE NOT A MORON!

I seem to remember the clueless on the right calling themselves "teabaggers" until it was explained to them what the term meant in urban slang.

Conservatives Debate: Is 'Teabagger' Their 'N-Word'?

In the latest issue of National Review, Jay Nordlinger details the history of 'teabagging' and reports on the conservative debate about what to do about it. But it's not what you think -- no, really, it's not what you think.
The first big day for this movement was Tax Day, April 15. And organizers had a gimmick. They asked people to send a tea bag to the Oval Office. One of the exhortations was "Tea Bag the Fools in D.C." A protester was spotted with a sign saying, "Tea Bag the Liberal Dems Before They Tea Bag You." So, conservatives started it: started with this terminology. But others ran with it and ran with it.

To get back on topic, does anyone think it's at all relevant that Elizabeth Warren has exactly the same amount of Cherokee blood as THE CHIEF OF THE CHEROKEE NATION? :lol:
