I went to a Jesuit school - most of the teachers were ‘regular’ secular teachers, but we had a few priests who still taught - one was an ex-boxer who said he entered the priesthood after he killed a guy in the ring. We completely believed him. Jesuits. Don’t mess with ‘em, they’re the Pope’s private army yo.

A bunch of people in the South know that, too. Including the fact that the one you showed IS the Stars and Bars.
The one at the State House is the Confederate Naval Jack, as it’s square, and the rectangular one that flew on the State House from the 50s-2000 was some sort of minor battle flag. Why they chose that in the…
Holy shit. How did I not know this? I had to Wiki it to see the history of the familiar “Confederate flag,” and oh, Jesus, the horrible details. The now-familar supposed “Confederate” flag actually originated just as a battle flag, created because the Confederate flag was too easily mistakable for the Union flag on…
“Johnny Reb” was, for the most part, poor farm boys pumped full of propaganda in order to fight for the landed gentry who had a vested interest in maintaining the Status Quo and did not want the Industrial Revolution changing things. And they suffered and died for that folly. That was certainly the case with my…
Most of my college friends list on Facebook are either super-devout Catholics or ride-or-die climate change-denying conservatives, with a very narrow Venn diagram overlap.
The following is one Confederate flag. They kept having to change it because, like with everything else in that flailing Frankenstien attempt at governence, no one could come to a consensus and stick with it.
The funny part is, Jesuits have plenty of historical contributions to sciences and physics. It’s what they’re really good at.

Right?! That was my first thought. She’s using a quote that is emblematic of the problem with myopic thinking to...defend her own myopia?
From HuffPo:
None. No, science what so ever. Just the Pope reminding people of the Christian doctrine of God giving us dominion over the planet and that we must tend to it like a shepherd.
I love thinking of what the reactions would’ve been of prominent scholars. Hey Einstein, did you know that eventually some thing will be created where you could pretty much learn whatever you could want. Quantum mechanics, Portuguese, and even how to build a boat! But people will use it to watch cats run into glass…
Watch it, twitter. Pope Francis was not only a scientist, so he knows what he talking about but also a bouncer. (No, I am not making that up.) While he is about peace, he’s also a Jesuit. Meaning he’s not above throwing your litterbug hides off this planet.
It’s so disgustingly disingenuous. I’m convinced the south lost the war because they were all cowards and that same cowardice is perpetuated by each subsequent generation.
Yeah, GA used the official confederate flag to make an end-run around criticism (but keep the neo-confederates happy, wink wink) when they changed their flag.
The thing that trips me out, the flag that Southern people seem so enamored with isn’t even the confederate flag (at least not the official one). The flag most people think of when they hear confederate flag is the southern rebel flag flown by a group of masked pro-slavery confederates who eventually became the KKK…
I really don’t want to take sides without seeing the evidence first, please.
Prime example of a systems failure. Someone taped it, Edited it, approved it for release and public release no less. And TMZ didn't pick up on this?! There were multiple failures, if this happened.
