For what it’s worth to you when you start launching ad hominems you’ve lost your argument.

For what it is worth, at #240, your daddy was naughty and started the launch of ad hominems. Because he is young and arguably naive, he is not responsible for what he says or does. But he still lost the argument at #240.
[BroJoeK #240] Sure, I fully understand, woodpusher, because you are a Democrat, the US Constitution and laws all require that you must, must blame Republicans for everything, under penalty of death if you refuse -- I "get" that.
FWIW, Brother Joe Pravda's ad hominem attack was in response to my respectful #237. Below shows my quote of his invitation to respond, and the entire text of my words in response. I reserve the right to rhetorically respond in-kind to lying, dog faced pony soldiers and bad dudes, and to drag them out back of the gym, and to bring a chain with me. Brother Joe Pravda should either abandon his unending string of personal attacks on everybody who disagrees with his propaganda, or he should try to improve his research and his lame attacks, lest he be Trumped.
Which part of that do you disagree with, and why?<.i>I disagree with much of that.
It is likely that the rightful winner of the election was Tilden, and not Hayes.
See, Roy Morris, Jr., Fraud of the Century: Rutherford B. Hayes, Samuel Tilden, and the Stolen Election of 1876, (2004). It is even better than Wikipedia.
In the deal made to settle the election chaos, the Dems agreed to let the GOP have four more years in the White House, and the GOP sold out the newly freed Blacks who had served their useful purpose, and the GOP ended Reconstruction.
Casting aspersions at R.E. Lee (d. 12 Oct 1870) as having something to do with nullifying or restraining the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments is unwarranted. Lee was dead six years before the Fraud of the Century in 1876. The GOP ended Reconstruction for four more years of power.
None of the Amendments was nullified. The 13th Amendment freed the slaves and they remained free. Slavery did not make a comeback. The 15th Amendment made the freedmen citizens of the United States and the of the State in which they resided. They were not stripped of citizenship.
The GOP removed the military. While the 14th Amendment remained in effect, the GOP removed those who were enforcing it.
The GOP lost the votes of the Blacks who were allowed to be subjected to Jim Crow. For a long time the affected Blacks couldn't vote at all, and when they could, they no longer voted for the party that used them to gain power, and then abandoned them to keep power.
