You also probably know slavbery was mandated in the colonies by King George. Seven colonies had petitioned the king to abolish his decree because they wanted to end the practice ofslavery because of religious objections to it. The King said as long as you are colonies of Great Britain, you will have slavery.

Slavery was one factor behind some of the colonies’ reasons for the revolution. Once the war began, those colonies, relatively soon, ended slavery within their borders.

Of course it’s a great thing that America, with its history of slavery and segregation still a shockingly recent memory, ...

Ehhhhh, remind me again how many years Britain preceded us in abolishing slavery, you smarmy limey beotch? Only 32 years? Shocking!

Thanks, FRiend. Very interesting read, particularly coming from the UK.

WHY is is so great we have a black president?

Because it represents the culmination of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr's dream that we would one day "Judge people by the color of their skin rather than the content of their character".

He’s more Arab than black. But that’s being ignored.

Melanie:"Sorry to be a party pooper, but I can't share this swooning Obama hysteria Has everyone lost their marbles?"

A lot of them have. You have to feel sorry for such people. That they are enslaved to the socialist state like this, swooming over fake messiahs.

Defintely a quote worthy of sarcasm as rednecks have now been replaced by brownnecks.

We had our monthly Republican women’s luncheon yesterday. When I walked into (I’m one of the organizers), the restaurant had the coronation on a big screen tv in our private room. I looked at the banquet manager and said, “YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!.” She laughed and immediately turned it off without my saying a word!
