"But it led to the burning of most of DC by pissed off Canadians."

Best not.

I'll take that as good news

I hadn't heard until the last decade I think, it may have been here. Apparently it is at least used in some States, not just by Calhoun. I was flabbergasted.
And the British did end up paying some compensation for escaped slaves, so that's a win right?

I suppose a 'draw' in the sense the one country attempted a landgrab and got nothing but it's capital burned and the other that wanted to defend itself gained nothing.
(Trolling a little, but the 2nd War of Independence is a propaganda name)

So, about what the next 20 odd years are going to be like….

I had a History teacher who did War of 1812 (or whatever you guys call it to make it sound like you didn't lose). Incredible at engaging with students.
Also it sounds like the reenactors used during 'the Patriot' where great as the got increasing disgusted with historical inaccuracies.

Don't be Derek Jacobi, Don't be Derek Jacobi, Don't be Derek Jacobi…
(looks it up)
Fuck.

Man, there's a question. Would you give up sex to be 30 again?

I have to say, I really don't understand Holocaust Denial from Nazis either. 'So you are saying that Hitler could have killed Jews, should have killed the Jews, but didn't kill the Jews?'

Not that they both aren't related, but I assumed it was some kind of a daily update of 'StormFront' viewpoint on the news.

Yeah, just making the point that it is being abused as euphemism there. I am 'socially liberal' in the sense that “the state has no right or duty to creep into the bedrooms of the nation.”
I am fiscally conservative in that I want our safety net, that among other things, allows our workforce to allocate itself more…

(*in your two-state system with current but entrenched positions)

I would consider myself a 'fiscal conservative', the term does have meaning.
In my context, I happen to be what we call a 'Red Tory' in that I believe in a social safety net, and am absolutely committed to universal health care. I just want it to be achieved with careful financial controls, and with taxation not…

That's actually 'Tribe Called Red' (based walking distance from me right now) talking about awful symbols and headdresses.

To be honest, I didn't really get your point. And while parsing it to try, even though I thought you were agreeing, the possible 'you are being rude' interpretations took over and I felt bad.

I don't know the specifics there, do the Cherokee have an issue with Warren claiming to be part native, or just ignoring their history of their treatment?

Far better. Now you are not even 'worse than Richard Spencer'

You don't think names like Maisy Odjick and Shannon Alexander come up when you talk about anything a little deeper than 'cultural appropriation' bullshit?
