“the bearded ideological wild man the other one is”
Yep, that was the one I was cautioning about. He is a self-identified paleo Conservative (ie. he thinks that Monarchy is an acceptable form of government. [barf])
I have my own take on the slavery issue. We were once a nation divide, with slave states and free states. We fought a bloody war to resolve (sort of) that. That slavery was race based. Today we are again a nation divided, with slave states and free states. But this time the slavery I speak of is “Universal” slavery to the State. Universal Slavery to the State is a return to the condition that the American Revolution sprang from. Will it require a war to resolve that? This is not sarcasm, it is a real divide. Lets pray that it can be resolved without a blood bath.
I don’t see how slavery in ‘65 was worse than the slavery today under Wilson in ‘13.
At least one side understood that what they were doing is morally wrong.
