that group, and their constant slanderous accusations, are one of the winds that fan the flames of the point of view that they pretend to try to curtail. Tough they are tasked with debunking the bigots, in fact without those bigots they would get far less funding.
It's a weird symbiotic relationship. If that kind of bigotry were eliminated, the folks at that organization might just simulate it to keep their donors active.

this article links to information about a host of candidates for a House seat in Rhode Island.
reading through these gives one insight into the mindset of the fully indoctrinated Democrats and also so who aren't so gung ho with that mindset.
there is one Republican.
not even close
Sassafrass is a new world plant, is it not?
does the Fleur-de-lis not predate the discovery of America?
also the Sassafrass leaves are not always symetrical, nor do they always have the same shape.
Fleur di lis is most likely modeled on Lilies and the form goes back to ancient times, according to Wikipedia.
what is the purpose of your conflating of these shapes?
sorry, there are two Republicans in the list of candidates for that House seat.
do not message me with this crap. TY in advance
learn history. read.
don't make up bullshit.

look up the term 'France' or 'Bourbons'
My quess is a whole new crew came in around 12 days ago . . .
they tried the tranie-bot the other night, but didn't do it again last night.
they post stupid stuff and don't take any kind of input, seeming to not learn when confronted with the falsity of their posts.
sometimes it's just them doing their fake arguing, and the last few days have been almost void of any real digs or news.
that is a very very very common mineral and available in abundance.
melting points of the minerals are different so crystals form in the liquid of another mineral, and then that forms a crystal with the other one inside of it.
how would I get it to you? I wouldn't be able to.
you can buy it by the pound.
PS: the crystals in these are like road maps to prior volcanism and magmatic activity.
you fetishize it as a 'magic' crystal?
I recommend that you not do that.
even as a Deadhead , when I was, I thought of him, and his fans, as being hedonistic drunks.
I quess it must be an East Coast / West Coast thing.
In California the tiny crystals go for very large money and people pretend that they are mysical and so so valuable.
In New Hampshire the mountains are made of those crystals becuase they form as what is called 'pegmetite' which is far more common to find where there has been a lot of errosion.
New Hampshire has a town where florite is found in great abundance so much so that if you look at Government websites you find scores and scores of 'mines' for it where basically it's just a patch of dirt that when they plowed it up it was full of fluorite crystals.
very very common (I think it is Westmoreland?)
in regions where volcanism was very common, in the ruins of old volcanic archipegios like New Hampshire/ Vermont Conneticuit river valley, Gemstones are very very common.
They are not rare.
crystals are common.
we have hillocks made of quartz that is has inclusions of all kinds of other stones.
you can buy fluorite in abundance on line. just look on ebay. They often sell it by the pound.
I keep it as an ornamental stone, having bought a lot of it years ago. Mostly it's green and sometimes has part that are almost purple. I have strands of it that I bought at a rock shop and I use those to keep other things from falling off my shelf (things with wheels which will roll) those strands were less than ten dollars for a lot of it, and it's large beads (about an inch and half by 1/3 of an inch) both green and purple.
again: very very very common.
if it has inclusions of rarer stones, of course, it's more interesting, so probably that gets a higher price.
I have it because I like the color.
