Artful Dodger: I figure what the heck, he says he never clicks on my links. But he can still mail my check for the number of links I posted before the 27th, or bring them by my office... the gardener is waiting to help him with figuring out how much he owes me.
Back then Republicans were "racists" because they were in favor of blacks being free. Now Republicans are "racist" because they believe everyone should be treated the same. So what's changed? The only thing that's changed between then and now is what Democrats mean when they say the word "racist", and the only reason Republicans are called "racists" is because the Democrats say so. Go figure.
It's too easy to be a Democrat. All you need to know is how to wet your finger and hold it up to see which way the wind is blowing... this is all it takes, and it is the litmus test for defining "core values" in the Democratic party.
"Racism is alive and well and it's in the democratic party. It always has been."
What that old political ad was trying to get across is glaringly obvious... you should vote Democrat, because it is the Republicans who are responsible for the "Negro" living among us as free men and women.
Artful Dodger: time. "Racism is alive and well and it's in the democratic party. It always has been. Once it was overt but now it's covert. But it's still there strong as ever."
mckinley: Not true. It's still a big deal. You should see my twitter feed. The black conservatives I follow are called all sorts of names by liberals who say they are betraying their race. I see it all the time. Even the media shows it's racism on how they treat the black conservative message. Racism is alive and well and it's in the democratic party. It always has been. Once it was overt but now it's covert. But it's still there strong as ever.
mckinley: "The civil war was about economics and not the immorality of slavery"
It wasn't one or the other, it was both. If slavery was not immoral, there would have been no civil war. If the souths economy was not so closely tied to slavery, there would have been little objection to obolishing slavery. It was more economical (convenient) to use slaves, if you were able to overcome or simply ignore any moral objection to enslaving people and forcing them to work.
The same kind of ideological debate is going on today in regard to abortion. It's more convenient and economically more feasible to not have a child than it is to have one. Kids are expensive and time consuming. If someone wants to fool around but not deal with needy little people (who will drain his/her finances and freedom) then they too need to either ignore objections to or to justify ending the little gubers life.
Seeing the baby makes it much more difficult for overcoming the moral objections to killing it, that's why the pro abortion crowd objects to right to life groups encouraging mothers to get sonograms.
Pro abortionists will also tell you that you can't compare abortion to slavery, because one hasn't anything to do with the other. If this is true, then why was it necessary to make blacks out to seem less than human and the fetus not at all human? The only way to overcome moral objections to killing people is to make them out to not be people. This was true with slavery then, and is true today with abortion.
mckinley: Yeah I read supplies came to be the deciding factor. I have to disagree to some degree over it being just economics and not slavery as the two were intertwined.
Democrats spent the first century of this country’s existence refusing to treat black people like human beings, and the second refusing to treat them like adults.
The Col: "I stopped looking at the links months ago"
Aww, that's too bad. Oh well, your loss. You can drop the money off at my office when the deadline arrives. My gardener will be on the grounds to assist you if you have any trouble adding up how much you owe me.

A new law approved by all governments in the UN is to come into place today, in which your home country will be the one where most of your money is based.

Simpletons are strongly advised to avoid reading this book. No Free Lunch not only contradicts randomly assembled interrelated complexity, but liberal ideology as well. Be vigilantly intolerant of anything that appears to make sense and cause you to think... because thinking is overrated, and it may lead to cancer.
