Yeah, yeah; you AND your horse....

And the stupidness just keeps on rollin’ on….

Just when you thought you might’ve heard everything possible in the never-ending stupidity associated with this anti-Confederate-portion-of-US-history hysteria…something else even more unbelievable comes up.

Just the other day, I was wisecracking that before it’s all over they’ll make just having the names “Robert” or “Lee” into a big controversy and…damned if a couple days later the liberal dimwits didn’t do just that. Sports television network ESPN announced today that it had “reached a collective decision” to remove its Asian-American commentator Robert Lee from covering University of Virginia’s season football opener because 1) of the idiocy the politically-correct nimrods demonstrated recently in Charlottesville, VA (removing General Robert E. Lee’s statue from the park named in his legacy as a Virginian and changing the park’s name) and 2) “…simply because of the coincidence of his [sportscaster Lee’s] name.”

In the immortal words of Jeff Dunham’s ventriloquist dummy Walter, “Good God!”

Oh, but it gets even more ridiculous. (Not at all hard to predict because everytime some part of officialdom gives in to the demands of these residents of the Moronosphere, they just raise the bar of the next ridiculous demand a little higher.) Apparently, the University of Southern California is considering renaming its Trojan mascot’s white horse. Why? Because it’s named Traveler and, well, General Robert E. Lee’s grey mare was named Traveller (notice the different spelling). So, apparently USC is thinking of "collectively" making a cowardly decision "simply because of the coincidence" of the poor nag's name.

I think there are more functioning higher-level brain cells in dummy Walter’s ABS plastic head than in all of the block heads of these idiot snowflakes and he other liberal flakes of all stripes who keep perpetuating this just pointless nonsense. Like some hundred year old concrete statues or the name of a damned horse that lived 150 years after the Civil War is really ruining their lives and endangering all of humanity.


What’s next? Enforced name changes for people who have the middle initial E in their names? Can’t have that! That Confederate Robert E. Lee had that same initial! So, if you have the same middle initial…well, by God you must be a racist too! 

Such is the irrational leaps of illogic of these idiots, so don’t put it past them. And every time some institution or another - the Charlottesville, VA city council, ESPN or - perhaps - the University of Southern California gives this stupidity undeserved credibility by caving into it, the next demands are empowered to be just that more outlandish.  And eventually nothing will be too sacred and no one or nothing will be safe from it.
