The post is relying on the average person's ignorance of American history details.
The "Founding Fathers" can be categorized as the people who signed the Declaration of Independence and the people who created the Constitution:
The Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776.
The Constitution convention occurred in 1787, over ten years later.
Monroe, Burr, Hamilton, and Madison did not draft or sign the Declaration of Independence. They had nothing to do with it. They were serving in the military or state legislatures.

I don't do well with entitlement and asking for handouts.
Entitlement is not asking for help. Entitlement is when you believe it's owed to you.
Handout is not asking for assistance with a task. Handout is asking for a physical object, typically money, to be given to you.
Asking to borrow some tarps and asking for help in putting them up is neither entitlement nor a handout.

Lee had a shell of an army compared to what he started with and even then it was outnumbered.

Grant wouldn’t walk in Lees boots on his best day.

quote:Hmmm . . . interesting take.
If you switched Lee and Grant the war would have been over in less than a year.
Lee had three years to win the Civil War. He failed.
On March 9, 1864, Grant was put in charge.
On April 9, 1865, about one year later, Lee surrendered to Grant.
Lee only had to worry about the ANV. Grant was responsible for orchestrating a nationwide strategy in Tennessee, Georgia, the Carolinas, the Shenandoah Valley, Mississippi, and the Gulf Coast.
You want to try that again?

The movie scene appears to show two nearly equal forces meeting for hand-to-hand combat at the end of the charge.
Does that scene accurately capture the distance that the rebels had to travel to get to the Union lines or the decimation of the rebel charge by the time the two sides met?

I wonder whether one of the insurgents' fundamental military problems arose from one of the fundamental beliefs of their rebellion: an emphasis on dispersed control rather than central control.
The weak central command of the rebellion's individual states, departments, and regions seemed ill-suited to handle the problems facing the whole of the rebellion.
Once Grant was granted control of the various theaters, the military conclusion was written. He had no analog in the rebellion until the war was in hand.

What you talking about? The guy who invented shoes is Emil Fischer, he invented them in 8674 BC in Germany.
He was far more popular than his step-brother Ernst Fischer who invented Legos in 8673 BC.

Where is this political?
quote:No combination of Bird, McHale, Ainge and Walton constitute the three top players for the Celtics. It's wrong.
No, that is not wrong. What he posted was a fact and you are denying that fact.
Bird, McHale, Ainge, and Walton. 4 of their top 6 players were white dudes. It's a fact.
Moreover, "4 of the top 6 players" does not contradict Smith's racist comment. It's wrong.
Smith's statement is racist.
But using the 80's Celtics as a counterargument to Smith's racist comment is wrong.
quote:You're wrong.
4 of the top 6 players were white, spin that however you like
And, as usual when you're wrong, you can't accept the fact that you're wrong.
That's not spin. That's fact.

quote:Smith's comment was racist. But stick with the fact that it was a racist comment. Don't get sidetracked by a Celtics counterargument.
I never said he was.
SAS yammered about a basketball team not being able to win with 3 prominent white players.
You’re saying a starting player wasn’t prominent?
Ok.
Smith did not say "3 prominent white players."
Smith said, "three top players" and "three most prominent players."
I'm not saying a starting player isn’t prominent. I'm pointing out that your argument is a strawman argument because it isn't what Smith said.
OK?
quote:I'm not forgetting anyone.
You’re forgetting Walton. I know he wasn’t really part pf the core for that era but he was key for their greatest team in 86.
Smith talked about the Three Top Players. Parish was the starting center for the Celtics in 1986. Parish was an All-Star who averaged 16.1 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks in 31.7 minutes per game.
Walton was NOT one of the Three Top Players for the Celtics in 1986. He was not even a starter. Walton was a sixth man who averaged 7.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks in 19.3 minutes,

quote:Ainge was good.
But since he’s yammering about having three white guys on the team, the Celtics with Bird, Ainge, and McHale were pretty good.
Ainge was important.
But Ainge was no Parish.
