“Americans!
The noble enthusiasm of your country has already triumphed over the proud invaders.
The enemy has been defeated with great slaughter…
But what is more honorable than all, the heterogeneous mass of your population, differing in language, in origin, and in habits, has, under the direction of their common country, been united in one cause, and has displayed a courage and discipline worthy of the freemen of America.
Kentuckians, Tennesseans, Louisianians, Mississippians, and the brave sons of other states, with the hardy riflemen of the West, the citizens of New Orleans, the Creoles, the men of color, and even the pirates of Barataria Bay, have all contributed to this glorious result.”
- Andrew Jackson, 1815

The hardcore RW person who successfully navigates a deep blue city and makes friends is far more useful than some schlub who lived all his life in a deep red state.
Insufferable bitch @willsutton writes the dumbest fucking article ever. This city is filled with drunks who fight and plenty of murderous and violent blacks, but he singles out Shia because he’s a white celebrity getting harassed by gays and gawkers.
Fuck this guy
Shia LaBeouf opens up about his arrest during Mardi Gras in New Orleans, claiming he was standing by himself when three gay men started touching his leg, which made him get scared.
