No, which is why I've used the unaltered words of those responsible for the rebellion more than once and linked to it for people like Lon to read and compare with the rhetoric of actual revisionists. And I've tied that information together with actual, clear argument. What I get from people like...

People misrepresenting the facts? Well, north can't get past it. That was his second attempt at blogging a revisionist approach to history. I can't be "blind" about an argument I wasn't having with anyone, but as I've said, in speaking to the internal and external realities, most of the white...

Looks like north here is blogging. No, history set up the strong association in the minds of rational people between the Confederacy and slavery. Racism was prima facie established and continued as a political and social force for generations after the war, giving rise to the Civil Rights...

Bumper sticker declarations are what people in your position have to live on...and with.

I wrote more than brumley's misleading use of, "I don't care what was in the heart of the north" (which is debatable and differed among men) and dr, being destitute in his cause, offered that truncation and this poverty: I'm fine with an examination of a heart that doesn't support an attempt to...

Not a jot, your powerful declaration notwithstanding. I'll continue to be rational and factual and you can keep throwing names at it. I don't care what was in the heart of the north, though Uncle Tom's Cabin had started a growing alteration of the popular sentiment in regard to slavery and the...

He called him a "Mexican" and impugned his ability to do his job objectively. Pat throws a lot of sand into the air, but it's still not smoke he's making and there's no fire at the heart of it. Of course Pat is being disingenuous, but to answer anyway, no. He could have claimed a bias on the...

In the sense that not all colleges are equals in terms of curriculum or faculty, sure. Intelligent people have, sadly, taken the racist side of the coin at various times in history. Being smart doesn't necessarily free someone from bigotry. Woodrow Wilson had by every account an impressive...

The judge Trump said he believed was Mexican was Gonzalo Curiel, who was born in Chicago, went to law school in Indiana, then worked in California prosecuting drug smugglers. His parents were Mexican citizens before becoming U.S. citizens. Curiel has always been an American. Mexican isn't a...

Interesting post getting buried by people without much to say but an apparent need to be seen saying it anyway. :Plain:

Doubling down or poor decision making. :Plain:

Edit: misread this part. So clarification withdrawn. So you're still okay talking about me then. :Plain: Thanks for the warning anyway. It doesn't belong on a Christian site, but at least you let us know. I won't watch it then. Extremists act like extremists, left of right. That's mostly loud...

40 acres and a mule? No, that's an impossible thing to mete out at this point, though I could understand resentment on the point from the descendants of those who received a truncated freedom and no compensation for the theft a nation perpetrated. And one not even covered by an act of war and...

Thanks. I always prefer to see people on the wrong side of what caused the Civil War in your camp on related matters. Really ties that up with a bow.

Yes. We owe some debt to the dead who were treated unjustly and whose degradation helped fuel the economic engine of our fledgling republic. It doesn't really seem like all that much to ask.

You're an atheist now? Care to revise your rhetoric? Why doesn't it matter to you as a Christian?

For anyone stumbling upon his latest, CS is attempting to avoid something that silenced him a few days ago. It began with his attempting to parallel Robert E. Lee with MLK, Jr. :Plain: Followed by quoting himself when no one else was interested and asking me, as though his **** and bull nonsense...

Like listening to a petulant child who having exhausted the meager stirrings of his lexicon can only stamp foot and repeat them. :think: You may need a nap.

I use both words often, only not when I think it's arguable. Crazy, right? :Plain: That's why we have trials, courts, and arguments on legal points. Lincoln and most were a bit more pragmatic on the point. But they wanted it held in check while the non slave states grew in power, number, and...

Not strong enough. Go with Malcom X and just sit around watching the heads explode as people walk by it. (inches away) You're going to show a cartoon of the Prophet next eating pork, aren't you? How many days do you have left and when did they tell you. Sounds interesting. And it will give a...
