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.

You’re jealously is going to consume you, boy.

Let it go, punkrr. Maybe one day mommy will marry a Southron and maybe, if he works real hard, he can teach you to be a man.

He was for slavery before he was against it. He was for secession before he was against it.

Hmmm, Jefferson Davis? He was for the Constitution before he was against it, for the rule of law before he was against it, and so on and so on.

Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government and to form one that suits them better.

South Carolina never shook off the existing government. They talked, they tried, but in the end they still were under the rightful supreme law of the land.

Lincoln upheld the law of revolution. He did not say anything about an American president being free to allow an illegal unconstitutional unilateral secession.

Punkrr is a typical liberal yankee; the feminazis have made him into one of the newcastroties. In other words, he's been gelded.

That's the reason that he's so bitter on these threads. He needs an outlet or he'll go over the edge into complete insanity. He already displays several signs of serious psychosis.

Just watch how he responds to this post! As his psychosis becomes more severe he launches into flights of fantasy and hallucinations in which he actually believes that he is man enough to stand eye to eye with a Southerner, but it's no more that a construct of his fleeing mind.

IF you have a brain cell you stole it from a Southerner.

What possible need would a Southerner have for a brain cell?

Actors always go for leading roles. Offer a politician any role he wants in a movie and you'll learn a lot about how that politician sees himself. George Allen also played a Confederate Officer. That was more wishful thinking than anything else, but with Byrd it was the real thing.

West Virginia's a border state, with Northern and Southern influences, and Byrd was very definitely one of the Southerners. See his wartime letter to Mississippi's Senator Bilbo, and his fourteen hour filibuster of the 1964 Civil Rights Bill, very much in cooperation with Southern Senators. A Northerner might have voted against the Bill, but wouldn't have joined in the filibuster.

But there's not really any point in arguing with you, is there? For an argument to have a point, both sides have to be willing to listen to reason and logic, and you don't, do you?

True...except for the last part...unless you are saying that there are no black people in Maine or simply can’t stop being racist. (Think about it. It may take you a few minutes.)

Let's see if I can explain this to a level that even someone with your special capabilities can comprehend.

Maine is less than 1% black, South Carolina is 30% black.*

Blacks make up about 11% of the general population but about 15% of the military population.*

The general population of whites are proportionally represented in the military.*

Now even an inbred southern bigot would have to admit that:

A). Having 3 times the average number of a demographic group that is over represented in the military might just skew the results in your favor.

B). The confederate battle flag is NOT well liked by southern blacks.

C). Despite the inherent disadvantage Maine faces due to it's demographics, the state STILL beats South Carolina and EVERY OTHER southern state in military representation.*

* All this information is available from the Heritage Foundation.

Of course, Maine is the least Yankeefied northern state there is.

Its typical of the southern rat (ratus rockwellius) to leave himself a back door hole to escape down. I see you are no exception.

Now, either post up some contrary numbers or stfu about the so-called 'proud military heritage of the patriotic South that the Confederate battle flag represents.'

The Confederacy was about slavery first, state’s rights a distant second.

The disorder, commonly known as OCD, is a debilitating illness that affects more than 2 million Americans.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, OCD is characterized by recurrent, unwanted thoughts and repetitive behaviors.

Sufferers are mainly treated through cognitive behavioral therapy, comprising talk therapy plus exposure and response prevention.

I appreciate how he announces his disorder before demonstrating it for us.

How considerate!
