13th - Trailer and Addendum

Rational Nation USA
Purveyor of Truth

If you have not seen the Netflix documentary Thirteenth you should.

Maybe President Elect Trump will find time to correct the injustice.?










Wait. I guess not.






Until such time as America faces the complete truth of its past and truly corrects the systemic injustices we can expect more, rather than less division.

    Trump correct the injustice? You're obviously being sarcastic. He will add to the injustice.

      You won't be disappointed. Disgusted probably, but not disappointed that you watched it.

      The group that will be highly pissed off are white supremacists, many conservatives, many republicans, law and order zombies, and Trumpanzees. If they even bother to watch it. You know, folks like the ones that gather at WYD and other wingnut weblogs of the rifgt and alt-right.

      I stopped looking a WYD long ago. I like fiction. I like fantasy. I draw the line at stupidity.

    Trying to have an intelligent discussion at most of those sites is impossible. I shouldn't bother visiting or commenting there (WYD) either. But it has been a wee bit of fun pissing a few of them off (most likely sock puppets) from time to time.

    RN... I wonder how many different people actually post there. Some days it all looks like the same person and then others, it comes with a little variety.

    Sadly, most of the commenting has nothing to do with the post.

    I'm gonna look up those movies...

      FreeThinke, Rusty, Radical Redneck, Political Chic, Thersites, Mister Know It All, In My Opinion, TOM/Luke (one in the same), and of course Lisa are the 9 people I'm pretty sure are real individuals. As for the rest, who knows. hey may or may not be mere sock puppets of the foregoing 9.

      I think you will agree, after watching the documentary, there is much truth presented therein.

      Your very welcome. It is a documentary with some obvious bias, but, the overall accuracy cannot be denied.

( Reuters ) - Global leaders on Saturday arranged a round of emergency calls to discuss the twin debt crises in Europe and the United States that are causing turmoil in financial markets . After a week that saw $2.5 trillion wiped off global stock markets, they are under pressure to show political leadership and reassure markets that Western governments have both the will and ability to reduce their huge and growing public debt loads. French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who chairs the G7/G20 group of leading economies, conferred with Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron ahead of a call planned for this weekend by G7 finance ministers and central bankers.

Thoughts On the Civil War and What Precipitated It...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth Over at Contra O'Reilly Will Hart has been running a interesting series on the Civil War and what the primary causes were. Historians continue to disagree with the root, or primary causes. However it is generally accepted among knowledgeable and unbiased experts that slavery had very little to do with the onset of the War Between the States. Causes were primarily economic and constitutional. Will, in his posts has done a good job of pointing this out with supporting documentation. This site offers the following, a July 2013 article by David Hirsch in support of Will Hart's arguments. Arguments this site wholly concurs with. Arthur Hirsch's recent article about the Battle of Gettysburg reveals a disturbing ignorance of the political dynamics that brought this nation to a war that 150 years later remains the most cataclysmic event in our history ("A defining day relived," July 2). It accepts the sh...

When and How Will it End?

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservatism This is America. We are an English speaking nation. We have distinct and traditional American cultural values. We have some Americans in our population who have difficulty speaking a coherent sentence. We have many who cannot construct a complete and proper sentence. Yet we find the time and the money to educate youth in Arabic and Arabic culture. Mind you this is a Federal Grant program and limited to only five select school districts. At least for now. At a cost of 1.3 millions dollars students on these select district will be required,  you heard {read} right, required as mandatory part of their curriculum to learn Arabic. This is a blatant abuse of taxpayer money, and it is indicative of the future course our nation has embarked upon under the fuzzy, misguided, and incredibly deceitful anti leade...
