You can drip all the sarcasm you want but i guarantee you that if Ennis had had to sleep in a hotel 6 hours away back in 2000 instead of playing in a place where they had already played 3 or 4 games, PLUS only 30 minutes away from them, West Orange-Stark would have one more State Championship ring on their fingers!  

That's the truth.

I have no idea what you mean in that first sentence. Please clarify so I can show your flaws again.

You have succeeded in showing you lack of interpretation skills and reliance on the twisted Liberal spin doctors to tell you how you should think. That is clearly evident.

And it is funny that you think I have a "sad little life" while spewing nonsensical vile. Harboring the amount of hate that you've shown must make one miserable.

Do you think this board will be better off with or without your hate-filled rants?

That's classic misdirection. You pick a fight then when you're backed in a corner claim to be the victim.  Idgaf if I'm on this forum or not. You on the the other hand would probably kill yourself if the internet didn't exist so you can spout inane conspiracy theories and spread hate and lies. 

Just because you don't want to believe a comment is racist doesn't mean it's not racist.

The three men I gave as examples are racists and are leaders of the party. Their words and deeds reveal them. Not me.

I was ready to discuss the failures of the Democratic party. I gave you an opening and instead you go down the route every talking head on fox and brietbart go down.  

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't dare insult my intelligence or call me a pedophile in my face.  If you ain't willing to do it in person don't say it on a keyboard. That's a chicken s@$# move. 

So again good luck with your miserable life.

Your comprehension skills need a lot a work. I did not say all White people are racist like you claim. I said I was assuming you are implying most White people are racist because you stated that the GOP and Democrats are full of racists. And I noticed you did not deny my assumption. So what percentage of White people do you think are racist?

Your intepretation of "Mexico sends us their worst they're murderers they're rapists they're drug dealers...." as being a racist statement is just laughable. This statement says that the Mexican government is actively or passively encouraging their murderers, rapists and drug dealers to leave Mexico by going to the U.S. Let the U.S. deal with them instead of us. Whether the statement is an accurate or inaccurate analysis of the current immigration, in what warped sense is that racist? I've heard many pundits make this claim, and it always makes me chuckle. Have you even given any thought to this? Did you just hear the word Mexico and just assume it had to be a racist statement?

"There were good people on both sides." Please show me the racism. I will save you the headache, there is none in that statement. How do you interpret racism out of this. Please, enlighten us. You might want to look up the definition of racism before answering.

"Calling for the execution of the Central Park 5 even though they were innocent." When Trump made that statement, they were convicted rapists. And how is this racist? Has Trump ever indicated that he thinks only Blacks and Hispanic rapists should get the death penalty. Again, please enlighten us as to how this is racist.

Do you have anything else?

 

Roy Moore: He made the statement that considering all things, times were better when the family was strong. I'm guessing he was trying to emphasize the importance of family, which was so much stronger in our history than it is today. I can see why his downplaying the importance of slavery can be interpreted as racist. Can you be consistent though. Are you just as outraged at people that buy, sell, and hold slaves today? And Moore tried to clarify his statement when questioned later:

My interpretation of his statement is that our country is strongest when the family is strong, in spite of our other flaws. But his downplaying of slavery is disturbing. I would like to ask him "Would you want this country to go back to strong family values if it also meant returning to slavery?"

"He also refers to Asians as yellows and native Americans as reds." Wow. You have to be really going out of your way for that interpretation. See Occam's razor. Read this:

You might want to refrain from your threats also. You will disappear from this site fairly quickly. I find it ironic that you hurl pathetic negative stereotypes, accuse me of being mad for the audacity of calling you out, then threaten me. I know, I know, me and the Republican bullies on this board will still be accused of running off another compassionate and enlightened poster. Same ol, same ol.

Where I'm from calling people out their names is a perfect excuse to beat some one down.  You've done it twice.

My comprehension is good. Yours need work. I'm leaving this post now because nothing I say or show will convince you of the racism of GOP party leaders.

Good luck with your sad little life.

 How does the GOP openly embrace racism?

 My reply to englebert. I don't have a high opinion of the democrats either but the leader of the party and current leader of the country started his campaign with a racist rant.  And the party elders have yet to stand up to him because they think they need him. Pence can sign the bills into law . he's much more acceptable than trump. 

Words matter. The rhetoric has attracted white nationalist and the KKK into the main stream they have co opted the GOP.

This is not to say that my local reps are racist. I know them and they are nice people if they are racist then they are doing a good job of it and I appreciate that effort.

And I don't think everyone who votes republican is racist but most racists vote GOP.

I cannot in good conscience vote for a party courts people who think this country would be better without people who look like me.

Again, no reason or examples why you think most politicians (and I'm assuming most White people) are racist. Why do you refuse to answer a simple question? You make an accusation then refuse to back it up. How about this: you are a pedophile. I don't need evidence or proof of my contention.  I will just state it as fact. And how about I just keep stating it over and over. Eventually some will start believing it. How about that dog whistle. Thankfully social mores and decency combined with a sense of self-worth prevent people from baseless accusations, or a least dictate that a person indicates what led them to such beliefs. I see that is lost on you. Keep throwing out the race card and I will keep throwing out the pedophile card. Deal?

 

Who said all white people are racist? You did. 

Ok since you have selective hearing when it comes to trump.

Mexico sends us their worst they're murderers they're rapists they're drug dealers....

There were good people on both sides

Calling for the execution of the Central Park 5 even though they were innocent.

Being sued by the federal government for housing discrimination numerous times. 

Roy Moore

Moore was at a rally in Florence, Ala. One of the few blacks in attendance asked Moore when he thought America was last “great.” In response, Moore said, “I think it was great at the time when families were united—even though we had slavery—they cared for one another. ... Our families were strong, our country had a direction.”

He also refers to Asians as yellows and native Americans as reds.

Steve King

Elders understands that culture and demographics are our destiny. We can't restore our civilization with other peoples babies. 

Gert Wilders is a known European racist.

Diversity is not our strength. Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban, ‘Mixing cultures will not lead to a higher quality of life but a lower one,’” King wrote

orban is another well know European racist.

But you knew these men said these things. Now you're gonna tell me I'm taking it the wrong way. To that I say you're a racist . and no calling out racism is not the same as being racist.

I'm going to leave this post now before I call you everything but a child of God. May we never cross paths in life friend.it will be a day you regret.

They are a juggernaut. Last time I saw them play they had enough kids to go from end zone to end zone. Its impressive what they do out there

Only in your Liberal fed diseased mind can you possibly think you have answered my questions. You gave no examples of racist acts or speech, but somehow conclude that you've satisfactorily provided some non-existence proof. Only in the mind of a Liberal does that qualify as evidence. What is disheartening is that I have come to expect nothing more when calling out the "dog whistlers". You can't defend your own statements, and I have a sinking feeling that you will just keep on parroting your Liberal Gods like a good little sheeple. 

I know this is futile, but I will try again. What evidence do you have that the GOP and Democrats are full of racist people? Please give examples that led you to this conclusion. Why haven't Civil Rights legislation been repealed, considering your claim that both parties are full of racists? I'm guessing you will refuse to offer such evidence because you know that your flawed thought processes will be exposed, and better yet, critiqued.

Do we have anybody from the Liberal camp who will defend their provocative and outlandish statements? Please, someone step up and defend yourself.

No. 1 I said I think the democrats aren't saints No. 2. The men I mentioned have said plenty of racist stuff in the past few months. But their bigotry goes back further than that.  You're right about the dog whistle though. These men come out and say racist things with no pretext.

I didn't name call. Why are you? Did I hit a sensitive spot? You you know what they say a hit dog hollars!

Once the GOP quits openly embracing racism ill give them a shot. Until then I keep writing my elected officials and demand they do the right thing.

When was the last time you wrote or called your representative? I do that about once a month.  So don't assume I don't know what up.

Please give some examples of why you conclude that the GOP embraces racism. Name names and give examples of these acts. I bet you can't. I bet you just make sweeping negative allegations with no supporting evidence...negative stereotyping...a practice which I'm betting you claim to abhor.

If both parties are racist, why in the world would they allow Civil Rights legislation to be proposed, much less passed? And if so much racism exists, why hasn't Civil Rights legislation been repealed?

I'm assuming you are trying to refute the assertation that Blacks vote in a uniform way, i.e. monolithic. When a group continually votes for one party at around a 90% rate, I feel comfortable in describing that as monolithic. This does not mean that everyone in the group has the same reason for voting the way they do, but simply the group casts a vote the same way. I'm not sure why you would try to deny that when voting pattern research bears that out. And it is not being used in a derogatory manner, unlike your statements. 

Donald John Trump. Roy Moore. Peter King. Make America Great Again.

I have answered you question. 

When these people and others stop blowing the dog whistle or outright remenising for the good ole days of slavery I might consider letting them have a chance to earn my vote.

Both parties are racist.  And african-Americans are not some monolithic group.

The difference is the democrats have been more welcoming to POC and at least trys to condemn the racist elements in their party. GOP doesn't even try to hide the racism. They embrace it.

Ill say this, if Roy Moore wins it will be because the democrats helped him out with the despicable racist flyer they thought would help drive up the black vote.

When you have what it universally recognized as the worst football stadium for a school your size, pretty much anywhere, AND you don’t even have a baseball facility adequate to host high school baseball games, well.... you’ve indicated that you, as a community, put “zero” emphasis on your kids academic experience and fail to realize that how it hurts your community. I’ve got to believe that when people consider relocating to your area, the lack of opportunities for kids to participate and compete with other schools has to be a huge deterrent. 

There is no civic pride in Livingston whatsoever. Here’s some irony. What do you call a family of lions? A pride! Yet this Lyin’ pride has none. 

I'm from Orange. I could say some things about the Bridge City communtity but I'm gonna keep my peace. 

Except for the football field we have some of the best facilities around.  And the school academics aren't too shabby. The whole point of school is to make good grades and move on to the next phase if life and the kids do that.

Next time you got something slick to say why not reply to my post instead of pussyfooting around? 

I'm all for debating which team is going to win but throwing slugs at communities is out of line. Especially since I live in the community that is growing and you are in the one that's in decline. 

When the vote comes up vote for the hospital district. It will be an asset for Orange County.

Because we all know everyone was dying to know the score. Huntsville 97, Livingston 50.  

Not looking forward to games at PA, Ozen and Central.

I’m really ready for next year you and CB are going to have some good conversation. By the way Bridge City leads the series 4-1 last time played was 1977

I look forward to the Lions thumping Bridge City. 

Our Jr highs have played the past few years. Y'all ain't look too good when my son was running all over you. BC is in for a rough few years.

I'm off to basketball season. Try to stay within 40 when you play LCM.

And parking... the ISD tons of property near the new high school, old high school, and jr high for a Stadium. As far as stadium shaming goes, when ours is hands down bigger and better than 5A Livingston’s, they should be ashamed. 

I don't know why you have such a hard on for Livingston but as far as I'm concerned the seats on the home side are fine with me.  I'm really gonna enjoy the drubbing coming your way. 

Clip the Cards (except the Lamar variety, they're good people)!

Damn can't wait to see the fight about Super Gold.  Glad I'm not Danny. 

Good luck WOS.

When you know you're going to slaughter everyone in the district...like Silsbee is going to do...then taking a couple butt whippings early on won't matter in the scheme of things.  But if the district is tough for everyone...Nederland...then you better make sure you get some wins and build confidence going into it so the kids at least know how to win.  Getting wins is better than being "prepared"...especially if you think it might be a struggle.

There's never been a coach in history go 0-25 but say "at least we had a tough pre-season schedule to get us ready".

Nederland is doing the right thing for their kids this year. They're young. Next year I'm sure they step up a little bit. 

But that's not to say the teams they're playing are push overs. They're at or a few notches above the teams they have to beat to make the playoffs.  

Playing PA Ozen and Central twice will get them ready for the playoffs.

Navasota and splendora stadiums are nice

Splendora is nice too. I was out there last week. Have not been to Navasota. But the point is Bridge City has no business stadium shaming anyone. 

Bear Stadium will always hold a special place in my heart. 

I do wish Livingston would flip the stadium around and give the visitors the home side which has been renovated with new bathrooms and concessions (top notch actually) and build a new home side where the visitors is now. But we've been blowing money on new schools.

They didn't misplace him.... they ran him off.  

Livingston isn't, and hasn't ever been, concerned with having a successful football program.  In fact, they're committed to sucking on the grandest of scales, up to and including even building a stadium that would be necessary for a moderately successful 3A program.  

Now you're trying to spend my tax dollars on a new football stadium. I'm paying enough with all the high schools we built.

I've been to Larry Ward plenty of times. Its not the greatest thing in the world. Battlin' Bear and Huffman are the best in the district by far. 

Look forward to beating you these next two seasons!

NRG did a terrible job hosting the event.  They didn't even do the research to realize that some of the smaller classifications bring a huge crowd.  Seating was not good.  The state games are played exactly where they should be.  

It may not be AT&T stadium but the seat selection at NRG is rock solid. Its designed for watching football unlike that building up North.

Been to AT&T 10 times and never paid attention to the action on the field. Can't say that about NRG and that is a compliment of the highest regards.

He thinks the rest of the state is mad about the venue being at Jerry World every year like SeTx folks...but honestly they don't care.  In fact, they recognize that Cowboy Stadium is, in fact, the nicest field in the state therefore high school state championships should be played there.  If DFW was shut out in Dallas only a few SeTx people would even think about it let alone laugh about it.

The state championship is the only weekend a year is football played at that monstrosity! 

All jokes aside DFW doesn't travel well and that hurt Houston.  The Triangle, H-Town and Super CenTex all hit the road and DFW gets credit. That's B.S.

Its a tremendous advantage for those teams to play at home. For that reason alone it should rotate. Houston and San Antonio need to fight harder to host this major event.

They should rotate the state championship. NRG did a good job. DFW didn't travel. They shouldn't be rewarded for that. Also put San Antonio back in the mix. I wouldn't mind it being held at UT or AM. It's an outdoor sport!

That sucks for the kid. The old school should have done the right thing and checked the other box instead of athletic purposes. This shows the parents made a good decision.

As for Nederland, maybe they'll be a little more sympathetic next time a vote comes up for this issue.  Terrible for the kid. At least he has JV ball.

Not so sure about Livingston just yet.

This year's freshmen finally figured things out in the the last few weeks of the season and has carried over into basketball. They will be stars next year. Most of them will be on varsity.

This group has routinely beat the proposed district opponents from pre wee league up. I'm not calling for district championship in 18 but I wouldn't be surprised if it happened in 19.

I have mixed feelings about dropping down (keeping fingers crossed there's no more enrollment shenanigans).

It ought to be interesting but the Carthage cross district will probably sweep the playoff participants next season.

Go ahead and crayola Lumberton and Livingston for the playoffs. How the rest shakes out will be interesting

Heavy traffic from probably Beltway 8 to Westgreen on I10. If you have a toll pass take 99 and you can avoid it all

You're really going out of the way taking 99 let alone needing a chunk of change to get through. There are no toll booths in the area so you're gonna get a nasty letter in the mail if you don't have ez tag. Just car poll and be beyond downtown before 430 and you'll be ok.
