Bandwith Hogg, are you going to jump onto every thread and make it about your own personal obsession?
I comment on many issues having nothing to do with the Civil War, but when I see an opportunity to make what I consider to be a very relevant point, I take it.
I've pointed out numerous times that the Colonies were a bunch of slave holding states who were trying to break away from a Union, but for some reason they do not get constantly accused of doing it only to protect slavery.
I wanted to illustrate how ridiculous this accusation is when it is also applied to the American war for independence.
The more I look at what's going on in the Country, the more I realize that the Washington "establishment" basically reflects the positions of the Washington/New York/Boston corridor. The nation is more or less governed by what those people believe are in their best interest, and one of the main reasons this occurs is because they own the Media/Industrial complex, and use it to disseminate propaganda that they think is beneficial to their acquisition of wealth and power.
