“It’s not a core principle of democracy...it’s a core principle of freedom.”
LOL Yankees aren’t concerned with anything so trivial as freedom - They want a nanny state government to provide for their every need.
No it is the confederate democrat that is arguing for a ‘mob rules’ form of demcoracy and not for freedom. You ignore the ‘rule of law’ (the Constitution) in favor of some sort of ‘outlaw’ style fantasy of freedom.
You are not arguing for the Constitution but for your right to do away with it.
The Yankees SO loved the Union and detested slavery that they enslaved the entire South. And yet...THEY and their hero Lincoln are remembered for “freeing the slaves.”
The one bit of logic that cannot be diluted with rhetoric.
It's a shame that it took a Civil War for the South to develop a deep appreciation for human freedom, but the lesson was a success. I don't know anyone in the South who defends slavery anymore.
