“If people can’t honor their commitments and the premise of the founders of this nation, are they not just dishonorable curs?”
Yes, which is why the South left the US: The North failed to live up to the Constitutional agreements and treated the southern States with contempt. The dishonor was the North’s. Chew on that, NS.
Your response is just sad toad - you used to be better at this....no wait - I guess you didn’t ;-)
For most of our nation’s first 80 years the south dominated America’s politics in both the presidency and the congress. If they didn’t get their way it was because they were too friggin stupid to figure out which way was up.
By the 1850’s most of the rest of the civilized world had turned away from slavery - all except the southron slaveocracy who stupidly put all their eggs in one basket. When Lincoln came along the slavers had a hissy fit and agitated to cut and run like the cowardly curs they were - but not without stealing anything that wasn’t nailed down (and a mess of that what was).
Like the true-blue dhimmicrats they were, the slavers didn’t GAS about the constitution unless it suited their desires and took a crap on it the moment it didn’t.
They started a fight they couldn’t possibly win and paid dearly for their arrogant stupidity. The smart ones learned from their mistakes and rebuilt the south into something that is vibrant and positive. The rest of y’all still yap it up and agitate, but like neutered dogs, mostly just bellow.
Choke on that, toad.
