Well the birdie was apropos today.

I understand their reasoning was different but the principle was the same. If the government you have is making your life worse, instead of better, you have the right to form a new government either by altering the current one, via voting, or abolishing it if voting won't solve the problem. The South chose the latter and fought for their right to throw off the government they felt was not providing guards for their future security.

All I'm saying is, if we expected the British to honor the principles stipulated in the Declaration of Independence, the U.S government is obligated to do the same. I mean, we declared those truths to be self evident. We can't declare them to be buIIshit now.

Every state that wished to be a part of the United States. According to our Declaration of Independence, should a state choose to no longer be a part of the United States, that state has the right and obligation to do what it's citizens see fit for their future security. The South chose to stay? We're they supposed to saw off the bottom half of the country? They decided the government they were being ruled by no longer had their best interests at heart and decided to alter or abolish it. They weren't allowed to.

It's not in the Constitution but it would be hypocritical to say this when declaring our independence and not live up to it afterwards: "WHEN in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the Earth, the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the Separation. We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness—-That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security..."

Haven't seen you around for a bit. Hope you had a good Christmas.

The abolition of slavery wasn't about freeing slaves, it was merely an attempt to bankrupt the South in order to force them to capitulate. Take Abe's words for example: "I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races, that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality ... I will add to this that I have never seen, to my knowledge, a man, woman, or child who was in favor of producing a perfect equality, social and political, between negroes and white men." Those don't strike me as the words of a man who felt that slavery was wrong. He simply wanted to take the labor force away from his opponent in order to make them easier to defeat.

Saying the Civil War was about slavery is like saying WWII was about the holocaust. Neither were the cause of either war.

They didn't.

McCarthy going for it on fourth instead of getting the 3 in the first, cost us that game. He needs to go.

Time for that Dallas D to prove they're championship caliber.

Merry Christmas Cloaca and all the rest of you degenerates!
