I bet Alec Baldwin is pissed.

Banned slavery? It did not...................

Ratify, Schmatify !

who needs a constitution when you have a popular president ! Hell, he doesn't even need to be qualified as long as hes popular.

he can even murder his own people when they protest just like Lincoln did and they will make him into a folk hero because of it !

Mississippi long ago acquiesced to this... it’s not like they’ve been secretly hankering for the old slave order to come back all these years. Amendments don’t need unanimous ratification to pass. Fine for a symbolic move, I guess, but Mississippi hasn’t particularly been misbehaving.

I’ve lived in Mississippi.

No problems.

I’d NOT live in Obamacago....evah...without armor.

Liberals are the baseline from which all intelligence and morality should be measured.

“Hey, I said we we’d get ‘round to it!”

[struggle]

It’s because Mississippi has a primarily Republican congress now.

The beautiful state of Mississippi is among the most free and liberty-loving states in all of America as the first map below vividly illustrates:

Individual initiative, capitalism and free-enterprise are found in Mississippi and throughout all of Dixie. The slave states of the 21st Century are clustered along the west coast, the northeast and all of New England. Isn't that odd, the Yankee abolitionists were from that latter region and now slavery is enforced by the edict of law there with forced unionism. The tyranny of Big Labor and its thugs are given free reign in the new slave states.

Just as remarkable is the 2012 election map, above. The states where union thuggery is permitted by law also voted to continue the slavery of the Obama administration. The comparison between the modern free states and the modern slave states is striking. Where liberty is truly cherished, Marxism is soundly repudiated.

Unions: The new slavemasters.

Well then too, there are some states that never ratified the 16th. amendment. There’s plenty of back and forth on that but it’s an interesting read:http://www.givemeliberty.org/features/taxes/notratified.htm

Better late than never ping, I guess

Curses on the ancestors of those who first brought slaves to the New World.

This brings up a unique teenage memory from the 1990s. Michael Moore was on HBO and did a “TV Nation” on this very subject, and I watched it when I was 16 or so. It was in Alabama or Mississipi, and he even had slaves to prove a point like the jerk he is. He was fat then but it was at least 100lbs ago.

So they ratified it back in 1995. Doesn’t sound like last month to me.
