*snip* Thank you once again for reaffirming your redneck ways. ALL MEN created equal includes everyone not just a bunch of OWM. Common sense prevailed and thankfully the country continues to move forward.
More tripe and nonsense, show me another country that had to have a civil war in order to stop slavery? I'll help you out, there isn't one. To anybody with a brain that would at least make one pause and think "hey maybe there's a bigger picture here".
The old worn out "my ancestors were black slaves in America" pays really well in the decaying, parasitical state currently known as the USA. However, your well is starting to run dry, with the money printing. I wouldn't be so arrogant depending on nanny USA, if I were you.
Exactly , the effective dictatorship of Lincoln and subjugation of his enemies brought about an explosion of crony capitalism . Odd how the party of Lincoln would be the least threatening of the 2 political parties today and shows you how far we've strayed from the founding fathers example of leadership. It's kinda funny that rcg seems to put the American Indian on a pedestal and lament their near extinction at the hands of the white man. It was just a continuation of the policies of a newly minted Imperial federal govt consisting of genocide against it's enemies.
It's sorry numb nuts like yourself that are stuck on the racial issues of the civil war. Just like back then, you ignorantly sweep the broader more important political issues aside and focus on the minutia. One can excuse that sleight of hand once, but not forever more. The excuse for that soapbox is long gone. Your "ALL MEN CREATED EQUAL" refrain has morphed into ridiculous nonsense of: equal ability, equal result in all things. All men treated equally before the eyes of the law/govt is the meaning and blacks today have more than legal parity. Moving forward onto communism, lack of property rights, lack of the right to protect yourself, lack of govt restraint in all things, isn't PROGRESS MEATHEAD. Really it's kinda funny the current political environment of govt coddling and white guilt codified into law is what generally ails the black community today. You folks are slaves again by CHOICE of your own making.
The country isn't moving "forward" moRon. It's imploding, much of which can be traced back to unqualified non tax paying unproductive voters.
