Yeah. And the nation paid for it dearly in blood and treasure. Almost unto the death of the republic.
Are you trying to use the original sin of the founders in not ending that vile practice to justify the the deaths of the tens of millions of little children who have been killed by the abortionists, with Mitt Romney's full support? Or what? Really, what's your point?
Okay, so slavery was a moral sin. Certain founders chose to allow the practice to continue in this new country because they could not reach a concensus to declare our independence from the King.
They decided to fix that problem later, and the country/slaves did pay dearly.
But this country would never have existed without that common sense compromise. It just was not going to happen. So they made a choice. Should John Adams and others have stuck to their principles and said it’s all or nothing?
For me, it’s like that. This country will be so damaged with another obama term......less so with Romney. It’s up to US to save what we can now, not wait for someone better in four years.
