Boy that’s tricky trivia!! Wasn’t the Swamp Fox a Revolutionary General? (Question only, not attempting the trivia).

Swamp Fox Marion, I do believe. Not certain he was general, but definitely a revolutionary war hero. Subject of the movie “The Patriot” with Mel Gibson and Heath Ledger.

Swamp Fox Marion was a Lieutenant Colonel, then was promoted to Brigadier General.

He died at age 63.

Thank you SO MUCH for that ping to the Sundance article.

It describes very well the present state of our distrust of the GOP.

From the article:

Here’s a list of those modern conservative “small(er) government” principles:

• Did the GOP secure the border with control of the White House and Congress? NO.
• Did the GOP balance the budget with control of the White House and Congress? NO
• Did the GOP even pass a FY 2016 budget with control of the House and Senate? NO.

• Who gave us a $2.5 Trillion Omnibus Spending Bill in December 2015? The GOP
• Who eliminated, not just raise but eliminated, the debt ceiling? The GOP
• Who gave us the TSA? The GOP
• Who gave us the Patriot Act? The GOP
• Who expanded Medicare to include prescription drug coverage? The GOP
• Who created the precursor of “Common Core” in “Race To the Top”? The GOP

• Who played the race card in Mississippi to re-elect Thad Cochran? The GOP
• Who paid Democrats to vote in the Mississippi primary? The GOP
• Who refused to support Ken Cuccinnelli in Virginia? The GOP

• Who supported Charlie Crist? The GOP
• Who supported Arlen Spector? The GOP
• Who supported Bob Bennett? The GOP
• Who worked against Jim DeMint? The GOP
• Who worked against Rand Paul? The GOP
• Who worked against Ted Cruz? The GOP
• Who worked against Mike Lee? The GOP
• Who worked against Ronald Reagan? The GOP
• Who is working against Donald Trump? The GOP

• Who said “I think we are going to crush [the Tea Party] everywhere.”? The GOP (McConnell)

Got my own 18 month old Bully dog and two Border Collies. just let the two little girls out. After they decorated the living room from the trash bag ......again.

Pick up company is delivering a new large container today. Had a large bag ready to take down. Now its a large bag with a large hole. They had to examine each piece of trash just to make certain it REALLY was meant to be thrown out .

So much for sleeping in !

You are most welcome, Exit! I thought our Friends on this thread might find it interesting!

Perhaps a little off topic, but I think it might fit in with the thread (bear with me, it’s only 7 a.m. here in the Peoples Republic of Seattle).

Something I’ve been thinking about for a while is that Trump talks about the Republicans in Congress not doing what we want them to do and not going against Obama (the huge recent budget is an example) - granted that he also mentions that we know what the Dims would do and vote for.

While I agree with him and some of them definitely need to be removed, there are a few good congresscritters (Jeff Sessions is the 1st one that comes to mind for me), I’m a little apprehensive on our candidates pounding on the Pubbies in Congress too much as I don’t want the Dims to take over either the House or Senate in 2016/17. The Senate is going to be tough because we have a lot more up for reelection than the Dims. If (when) Trump is President, it would be much better if he had a total Pubbie congress - think he could work with them better and get them to do what he wants. Reid is leaving, which would make that slime Schumer (who never met a camera he didn’t like and would be very vocal) as the Senate Majority or Minority leader. As much as most of us dislike McConnell, I think he’d have a bit easier time working with him (even though I despise what he did with Cochran). Best scenario - Pubbies keep House and Senate and McConnell is replaced with Jeff Sessions (if he isn’t the VP pick) as Majority Leader. I’d prefer someone else to Ryan as Speaker, but I think if Trump is President and someone other than McConnell is Senate Leader, he may be workable (especially continued pressure by the conservatives in the House). Just my #.02

He does it in a cool way, as you and I would. He congratulates them for their great season, or if the basketball team won a close one, he’d comment.

He never seems to take sides.

I think the exception will be with the Yankees.

No, he’s the only one that ever mentions things like this. People know he’s hip.
