"Then again I heard Beto O'Rourke pledged a buck three eighty!!!
he is a generous soul"

I find it fascinating to look at the released federal income tax returns of politicians like O'Rourke and see how little they give to charity, particularly as a percentage of their total income. Wouldn't you think that even if they aren't willing to write checks for amounts over their tax liability to the government (which none apparently ever do, even while campaigning for higher tax rates), they'd make that up by supporting charities? Or is this yet another instance of endorsing generosity while practicing selfishness?

Probably the same sentiments of those who destroyed Palmyra. Where is a tolerant liberal when we need him?

Not here.

Oh believe me CB, I could go on and on about what should be done with all of the alters to the suspension of disbelief and child molesting, but I won't.

Incidentally, what is so sad about building a nice park for the people instead of continuing to belabor adults into rationalizing fairy tales? Sure its history, but thats the kind of history I don't mind seeing hit the dust bin.

Didn't think you would be so offended by a park though.

Apples and oranges Ted but a good attempt to tar me with ISIS sympathies none the less. But you ignore a glaring distinction in your attempt to jab. ISIS destroyed that historical city because it was part of a civilization before the rise of Islam and therefor seen as an idol of the infidel who did not follow their religion. My advocating for the repurposing of the land isn't because the former tenant didn't follow my religion, I have none. I'm advocating for a park, because a park would be more useful then a temple to fairy tales and child molestation.
