And in 1861, all of the established politicians, the power brokers, and their followers decided to secede from the Union and start a civil war.
The democRATs have not been this upset since that time a Republican freed all of their slaves.
And the Democrats are upset because those mean Republicans are threatening to take away their cheap labor again.
Globalist Secession Movement.
I officially give them Seattle.
Only because LA, Chicago and NY have strategic value.
Civil War is the only way to get rid of global Communists.
Sorry, have to disagree.
It set in motion the ongoing encroachment by a strong central government into personal liberty and matters Constitutionally left to the states.
And in 1861, all of the established politicians, the power brokers, and their followers decided to secede from the Union and start a civil war.
The last election was small town America versus bigger metro areas. We’ve all seen the red versus blue election maps. Even in my Republican district in Illinois, it is the same thing. The bigger the city, the more likelihood a majority of the votes went to the dems..
The democrat states are now so wedded to, and dependent upon big government, they could never leave the union today.
The concepts of independence and self reliance, which gave birth to this nation, are completely alien to that segment of the population, who’ve become nothing more than parasites on the productive class.
Freedom and liberty are the last things they want. They will continue to use the power of the state to extract their sustenance for us for as long as they can. If they go to war, it will be for that purpose alone. They’re not going anywhere.
Everyone here should remember this very simple fact:
Martin Van Buren created the Democrat Party in the 1820s for one purpose only-—to protect and perpetuate slavery via the distribution of jobs and “spoils.”
***That outsider in 1860 won!***
That outsider was not on the ballot in the Southern states. The Democratic vote was split between Douglas and Breckenridge. some went for Bell.
Had the Democrats run ONE candidate, and no Electoral College, Lincoln would be just a footnote in history, and blacks would have been on their knees to their Democrat overlords saying “Yassah, Nosah, any thang you say Massah!”
Instead Lincoln was elected, the Civil War fought, Slaves freed, and today free blacks are on their knees to their Democrat Masters saying..”Yassah, Nosah, any thang you say Massah!”
Oh wait! Something is wrong here!
After the Lanky Goon from Illinois refused all peace delegations....
Both times the treasonous Democrats spoke of secession: in the South in 1860-61, in California now.
Too funny! Lincoln was the quintessential big-government insider. Don’t let that “log-splitter” swill fool you, because he had been an attorney for railroads, and played quite a role in setting the stage for getting tax-payer funded subsidies for railroad ventures. He was quite vocal in his argument that the federal government should reign supreme, and that the individual states should be relegated to subordinate vassal status, existing primarily to serve the interests of the federal government.
If John Wilkes Booth had had a twitter account, would he have killed anybody? Maybe just having an emotional outlet would have been enough. If it wasn't he'd end up on a watch list and wouldn't have been allowed to get close to a president.
Plus, think about it: we can monetize and get a profit out of so many things nowadays. If you could make a fortune out of getting people to tell what they are doing 24 hours a day every day, who'd bother with cotton and slaves?
Prepare to be piled on by all the neo-Confederate Lincoln-haters.
The libs were angry, violent and bitter during the eight commie wet dream years of the Boy King. Is it any surprise that they are so unhinged now?
Neoyankee babble and virtue signaling ...I learned that latter from Mark Steyn today
