No, he simply forgot that with freedom comes responsibility, and that actions have consequences.

Grow the fuck up.

My mistake I apologize, I vow to not hurt anyone's feeling, I will be quiet and say in my basement until I grow up

The projection is strong.. Nobody has done anything to the GOP dbag, but his feelings are hurt because he was criticized.

What a moron, he forgot that he does not live in a free society anymore, he cannot do whatever he wants, all his actions must align with the lefties' feelings, get in line bro...


Oh no the rable have used their first amendments rights to slander an innocent man. It’s just like Russia! (Soviet Russia not cool Putin Russia).

Shouldn’t you be willing to defend others rights to free speech even if you don’t agree with them?

Whoa calm the fuck down guy.
Him naming his real estate company some letters that honestly could mean anything and him referring to the Furher is kind of odd.
How about instead of saying since the guy visited the Eagles Nest he’s a Nazi with what his politics or plans are?
As presented I don’t view his trip as a Nazi loving excursion.

lol dude has some mental issues. Anyhow, I see your point of view.

Also, destroying historical things...wait for it....... doesn't destroy history.



How about stuff like Auschwitz encampments where they have tours and shit still? Should we forget that stuff as well and the 6-million lives lost too?

I MEAN, WHAT IF SOMEONE GOES ON THAT TOUR AND GETS BONER FOR IT!? Think of the children!!!

Idk. To me that is similar to visiting the parking lot on top of Hitler's old bunker, releasing about 2-3 liters of used Lowenbrau as a little hello from America.

Hitler is correctly identified as evil here. I don't see a problem really. He starts talking about Jewish people, slavs and gypsies in a certain way, well then we have a problem. I know someone who wants to visit there just from watching an episode of Band of Brothers.

Edit: To be clear though, he sounds like another empty suit, all polished up to be the next generation of conservative to deliver the same old morally and intellectually bankrupt agenda. It's good they understand their treasonous kind is a shrinking group though. The Trump Rot will only hasten this as well.

Old Nazi sites are a tricky question. I completely understand the need to not memorialize the bunker or Hitlers grave site. Nothing good can come of that.
Generally I’m a local decisions kind of guy. This is up to Germany or Poland or wherever to decide.
Same with the Confederate monuments

Defintely a local decisions guy myself, but I draw a line at honoring traitors who tried to destroy the country. You declare war on your own people like that, especially to protect an institution as evil as slavery - I don't care what your heritage argument is. There is no lipsticking that pig. Also, get fucked.

But is it on your bucket list? Vastly different to say you’d go visit someplace/something vs having it on some bucket list, which would give it a much higher degree of personal interest/involvement.

I really can’t think of any dictator I’d idolize enough to make it a special point to prioritize visiting his old haunts.

I'm not a conservative, but a bucket list is just the things you want to do most. You don't have to be Hitler Youth to find that cool. I'm a big history buff. When I was in Jerusalem, I wasn't all this is holy. I was, "JESUS was here. The ROMANS were here. The Crusades were here. And so on. Personally, I think it would be cool to visit someplace like that.

Also, as I do things on my bucket list, I add more things to the list and reprioritize.

Hell, there's plenty of that Hate Cash out there. We could give many local economies a boost by really providing an outlet for the heritage of hatred.

Create a Confederate Traitors and Slavers Museum. Hell, franchise it so all the Confederate and Treason sympathizers can get in on the Hate Money game and open their own shops. I mean, why leave it to Fox, OANN, Hate Radio and the Republican Party to get all of the Treason and Slavery Sympathizer cash?

Let the Museums bid on all of the statutes dedicated to Treason and Slavery. Have travelling Museums go on the road with it so all the Confederate and Slavery sympathizers can see "their heritage" without having to sell their food stamps and meth.

And of course, as it would be open to the public, it would make great entertainment for those of us who don't claim Treason and Slavery as heritage. Some outfit would make a "People of Hate Museums" footage on Youtube or whatever, which would be a win-win if you ask me.

CNN article on the matter that just sticks to facts. Decent read imo.


My opinion hasn’t changed other than this guy should be watched and he has already learned the make a vague claim like going to the Naval Academy is “I applied” and “I didn’t say I was accepted” is the sign of a sleazy guy.

The full context is shady as shit:

Adding to the attention Cawthorn faces over the social media post, there are now new questions about his educational claims.
His website states that he "was nominated to the U.S. Naval Academy by Rep. Mark Meadows in 2014. However, Madison's plans were derailed that year after he nearly died in a tragic automobile accident that left him partially paralyzed and in a wheelchair."
But in a deposition related to the accident obtained first by AVL Watchdog, a non-profit news service, Cawthorn acknowledged that he was rejected by the academy before his accident.
Asked if he was notified by the Naval Academy that he did not get in, Cawthorn replied that he was. When he was then asked if that was before the accident, he responded, "It was."
In the interview with WLOS News 13, Cawthorn contended that he was not misleading.
"I never said I was appointed or accepted to the academy, I knew that I'd only been nominated at that point," he said, adding, "I fully expected to be accepted and to be appointed, but at that point I hadn't received it. So I've been very careful never to mischaracterize who I am as a person."

He is very much being dishonest about who he is as a person.

Yeah it's a fairly busy tourist destination due to historical and hollywood contexts. And someone who is interested enough in history\empires\military to visit there I could also see wanting to name something SPQR. TBH I find the story of the Roman Empire interesting and was familiar with their use of SPQR but didn't know, until today, that there are apparently attempts to co-opt that

So while he may be an opportunist GOP candidate I'm not sure he's a Nazi opportunist GOP candidate

Yeah I am taking the SPQR thing sort of like the ok symbol or the sad frog image.
White Power guys are trying to own it but don’t completely own it at this time. Sucks how that happens.
Again a lot of smoke around this guy but not fire yet.

After reading the Jezebel story about him seems more like the reincarnation of Darrell Issa.
