...you'd be better off bypassing the factual arguments, which obviously will not have an impact on these nutjobs, and simply ridicule these people. I mean it. Alinsky had that part right. You could go back and forth with these nutballs until Judgment Day, but they will simply ignore any facts you cite, or lie outright to refute them. It is a waste of time. However, if you denigrate and ridicule them, it gets them where they live. Leftists, above all else, need to feel superior. They need to feel like they are the smartest people in the world. Ridicule is the one thing they cannot tolerate. Debating them only feeds their egos. Ridicule deflates them.http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/backroom/2645516/posts?page=199#199The nature of the ridicule that I recommend goes like this: "Wow - I can see from your pathetic post that you don't know a thing about the 20th century, or the world in general. Do you get all of your information from books with big, colored pictures in them? Maybe ones with flying superheroes or talking animals?" Whenever they cite a "fact", simply reply "LOL!! Off your meds again? Not everything the voices tell you is true!" You get the idea. And if you have the stomach for it, keep at it until they stop, but don't waste any time, energy, or frustration on these idiots. Just chuck these insults out there, and enjoy yourself until they self-destruct.
The question posted remains unanswered. Why is it that your kind have such prediliction to answering simple questions with epithets, ridicule, sophistry (or at best specious reasoning)?
Let the record reflect the question was asked and the witness refused to answer. It is petitioned to the court that the witness be recorded as hostile.
You disgrace and bring ignomny upon all those who died for your privleleged & principled ideals. Confederate-rebel 'president' Davis was an idiot and everybody knew it; the results of the peace initiative of 3 Feb 1865 prove it; what lead up to those events is the guage of the man.
Admonishments not withstanding, I will thus dane to entertain this one quip....
Was slavery a growing or dying institution?
The only reason the Illinois Butcher pretended to end slavery after Antietam was that he was running out of Irish FOB's to put between D.C. and the Army of Northern Va. He was in desperate need for fresh meat for his cleaver and the "freed" slaves would do just fine.
