Alabama State Offices Closed Monday To Honor Jefferson Davis

Posted by | June 1, 2015 13:00 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics


Alabama is the only state to so-honor the president of the confederacy.

It’s a peculiar holiday, given that Jefferson Davis’ birthday is actually on June 3, and also given that Davis was born in Kentucky, ruled in Virginia, fled through the Carolinas and Georgia, retired in Tennessee, and settled in Mississippi, with only the briefest of layovers in Alabama. And also because Jefferson Davis was the head of a fucking racist tyrannical state whose fucking reason for fucking existing was its fucking insistence on the treatment of enslaved human beings as fucking chattel to enrich fucking people like Jefferson Davis.

But, you know, it’s June. And it’s nice out! Lay in the recently repainted bed of the ’79 El Camino and soak up the states’ rights.

    They should officially change the name to Talibama.

      A real shame that General William Tecumseh Sherman missed his opportunity include Alabama in his March to the Sea…

    It is too bad we did not let the south secede when we had the chance.

    Okay, June 4th will be a federal holiday commemorating the Black Panther Party. We can go tit for tat if they want, but our tat is a lot bigger than their little tit.

    And I always thought that April 9, 1865, the day that Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendered the Confederate Army to Gen.
    Ulysses S. Grant should be a national holiday.

    June 3rd — Surrendering Sons of Confederate Traitors Day

    They should honor him please us by seceding from the US. It would be one big “Good Riddance” for me. Alabama is one of those Red states that take more from our national Treasury than they put in. They are losers and moochers.

    Alan Colmes wrote this? Alan? Are you okay?

    Look, am sorry I drifted out of your community into the general online world. I had to spread your message. I HAD to.

    But I am sad to see it has led to you cussing so much. I lost count of the number of times you used the F word in this article.

    Good to see you thriving, buddy!!!

      I believe Adam Weinstein, at Gawker, wrote the text in question. While I understand the anger, as I condemn everything about the Confederacy, the repeated profanity diminishes my level of interest in the article. I would rather read a civilized, well-reasoned condemnation than a vitriolic and profane rant.
