Dear Glenn Beck: Confederate Constitution mentions the word slavery ONE time.
Confederate Constitution ^ | 6/25/10 | Central_VA

Posted on 06/25/2010 4:31:27 PM PDT by central_va

Open Message to Mr. Beck (self proclaimed historian). Tonight on your TV show you said that you read the Confederate Constitution and I paraphrase "it had slavery written all over it, all about slavery blah blah blah". You are incorrect sir, I did a word search on the document and the word slavery appears "one" time. Everyone can try it for themselves at the link provided below.

CS Constitution

Can never trust a Yankee, even a goofy entertaining one.

LOL. Did somebwody hwurt wittle twucker’s feewings?

Look, sump-truck, nobody said it was from “Confederate tradition.” Go chase squirrels on your own time.

And please, please come try and make me “stfu”. Telling your opponent to shut up is the verbal equivalent of saying, “I got nothing.”

Don’t bring a rubber knife to an intellectual gun fight.

Get somebody to explain that to you.

LOL! Is that YOUR Byrd hat? Byrd was from the hillbilly north where the KKK lives and prospers.

How ignorant can you be? W.Va is a northern state. Made by yankees for yankees.

He’s YOUR loss.

That's your "man hood."

Robert Byrd was born in North Carolina, a Southerner true and through.

Funny thing about Bob. He was born Cornelius Calvin Sale, Jr, but was adopted by his uncle and aunt, Titus and Vlurma Byrd.

Having the same last name as the famous Virginia Democrat Senator didn't hurt him in politics.

He was born in NC because he wanted to be with his mother. He moved north at a young age and is your boy. Own him proudly.

“Would you then say that the rebel leadership denied the rights of those wishing to remain in the Union?”

Uh, that’s EXACTLY why I stated that re: the former - because that’s exactly what you have said in the past about the latter.

There is alot of truth to what they stated re: Confederacy. However, I was also waiting for them to tie it together between old Dems and new Dems, which is something “Yankee” conservatives like to do. But they didn’t - because it doesn’t quite jibe.

1 could assert (which I’ve NEVER heard before) that pre-CW black history was erased because of Confed Dems, but how does it tie in with modern-day Dems? Look at why they would erase the history:

Confeds - OK with slavery and wanted blacks segregated.
Liberals today - want the US as a whole to look as bad as possible (note that the ONLY time liberals unequivocally think the US was perfect/inerrant was UNDER REPUBLICAN LINCOLN during the CW; they hate it every other time)

Those are very different reasons. How do they tie together? Perhaps it’s simply happenstance that “progressives” early took over the Dems and found they were able to use the more racist approaches of early Dems in a different manner.

BTW, here’s the point: you should view George Washington as evil because:

a) he had slaves his whole life (yes, he freed them at his death and upon his wife’s death, but still...)
b) he subverted the wishes of a large majority of American British when he prosecuted a war they wished no part of
c) he prosecuted a rebellion to separate from a larger politcal entity

You simply cannot resolve your views of the RevWar/Washington vs. CW/Lee(e.g.). Unless you actually do despise Washington, at least.

He’s YOUR loss.

So your point is that the racists of the north have taken over W. Va. and convinced everyone to vote Democrat?

Hysterically funny stuff, LG.

Byrd was a Democrat who lamented the rise of the blacks -- to his last breath. Your name celebrates the man who led the armies that tried to preserve what Byrd wished for his entire life.

Doesn't that make you stop and think: you have more in common with Byrd than your tiny brain will allow you to comprehend.

If you were capable, you'd be ashamed, and change that embarrassing name of yours.

You're. As in you are

I realize you had to leave school before they got to that, but try to stay on topic.

LOL. Did somebwody hwurt wittle twucker’s feewings?

Judging by the response to my last, its the stained banner cultists who have their panties in a twist. No surprise here.

...nobody said it was from “Confederate tradition.”

You're a liar.

Telling your opponent to shut up is the verbal equivalent of saying, “I got nothing.”

I specifically told you to post a breakdown of white southerners vs. other regions in the military OR stfu. There's a difference.

-btw the state of Maine is more well represented in the US military than ANY southern state, even without breaking out the minorities that skew the regional statistics.

You’re most welcome, my friend. I am amazed but not surprised at how out of control this thread has gotten.

Because you say I should?

a) he had slaves his whole life (yes, he freed them at his death and upon his wife’s death, but still...)

So? He didn't lead a long and bloody rebellion to protect slavery as Lee and Davis did.

b) he subverted the wishes of a large majority of American British when he prosecuted a war they wished no part of

A large majority? I think not.

c) he prosecuted a rebellion to separate from a larger politcal entity

And won it. Again, unlike Davis and Lee.

My sympathies on your loss.

Of course only a POS like you would feel sympathy at the loss of such a turd as byrd.

You and the rest of the coven are just a bunch of racist bastards and the sooner we can disengage ourselves from you 'union' boys the better.
