Most other nations let evil go on and on and on, it’s what makes us different.

tens of millions of babies killed out of "convenience" is what makes us different. i guess it's a "good" thing, eh?

The slave-holding South was a tyranny in itself.

And of course the slave capturing, shipping (, killing of millions) and trading North stands for all that is good in the world. I'm so psyched that the North won the war over such tyranny!!!

You're dumber than a bag of hammers, boy.

Question: Why would a real American call standing up for freedom a “stupid, reckless and dangerous gamble”?

And I answer: Because you and your ilk, aka The Coven, are proponents of an all powerful central government that controls every facet of our daily lives.

The South a tyranny? You get dumber by the minute. The South wasn't a tyranny. There was a handful of private entities called plantations that legally bought people, on the free market, that were enslaved by YOUR POS yankee ancestors, and legally and constitutionally put them to labor.

The key to this is that YOUR POS yankee ancestors enslaved those people. It was your POS yankee ancestors who practiced tyranny before the war, during the war and after the war.

The North capturing slaves. Were you born stupid or do you work at it?

My ancestors were immigrant Irish bricklayers. They didn’t own banks or railroads or cotton plantations or slaves.. The South wasn’t a tyranny? Yeah, ok. Geez you are one embittered stupid-ass redneck. And don’t forget bozo, YOU LOST!!

McCain would not have let Sarah do anything but attend funerals

Is that the reason you voted against her? I do business with a firearm related company in her Town...they speak very highly of her. Not to mention that Larry Pratt interviewed several people from the firearm industry in Alaska. And they all said the same thing. As another added bonus, she grew up in Idaho.

But... you folks blessed us with Biden. thanks!

Only ~2% of Southerners owned slaves but all Southerners must share the blame for slavery, however, since your POS yankee ancestors didn't personally participate in the norths highly profitable slave trade your hands are clean. Typical liberal POS yankee double standard there, boy.

The South wasn’t a tyranny

That is a correct statement. The north was a tyranny and still is.

YOU LOST!!

I didn't lose to YOU, chump, or any other POS liberal yankee and never will.

For all practical purposes, 'partisan shitslinger' voted for 0bama.

He and his ilk = POS.

Can’t take a joke huh! Picked it up at a Civil War reenactment I attended out of curiousity. Got a chuckle out of it.

It's not a joke to the lost-causers on this thread. lol

The truth is that YOU helped put 0bama in office.

I didn't vote for Obama. I voted for the party dedicated to the Constitution. If every conservative would've voted like me, we would have had neither McCain nor Obama in the office.

They're called primaries, genius.

It's not a Republican primary when so many Dems are voting in our primary elections.

How are we going to fix the country if bozos like you split the vote and ensure the dummies retain control? Can you honestly say that you'd rather have Zero in office than McCain? Is that what you're saying? Are you one of those lets-punish-the-RINOs-by-letting-the-dems-have-control crowd? (ban hammer poised to deliver blow)

Would the Tea Party have gotten going if McCain would've won?

How can you whine about evil when you helped put Zero in office? Pukes like you ought to be perma-banned from FR!

Apparently you're not aware about what the Administration of this site has said about McCain. Why would anyone vote for a man who wants to take away freedom of speech and has been successful in that?

Since they voted for it once, let us see if they can make it twice. Then we can serve up much more than some 10th Amendment resolution. I'd like to see Gunslinger and his limp wristed friends try to hold us at gunpoint this time.

Slavery was wrong, the war was wrong and neither one should have happened.

The war was right because slavery was so wrong.

The war has not ended, it goes on and on and on. The 2 sides aren’t shooting at each other anymore just arguing endlessly...... on and on and on......

Yes I try to stay away from these cesspools. I saw the comment about how the south is so much about freedom and the north not and it's just not true, and history shows it not to be true. The south seceded for slavery, the ultimate anti-freedom pursuit. And then proceded to never give the commie FDR a single loss in his four elections, never lost a single southern state. So even in the context of modern day liberal vs conservative, their record still sucks. And as I said, their urban is not different from northern urban, and their rural has the same tendencies as northern rural. Our differences are urban vs rural, and this whining about a 155 year old loss is a waste of time.

We have antiChrist Jr in the White House...its time to know the enemy and prepare to do what we have to do in this next year and a half...antiChrst Jr will kill the dollar with his debt, regulation, and taxes...it's on purpose, he wants to be the great Muslim hero that took down the US. Those of like mind will have to combine forces to get through this. These lost-causers are on these conservative threads every day calling every conservative who doesn't want a dissolvement of the union a POS, commie, and everything else, meanwhile our real enemy is gathering their forces.

What's your solution? Should the government, upon finding out a woman is pregnant, do regular bodily inspections of her until she comes to term, and then if it is found she had an abortion execute her, her boyfriend who helped pay for it, and her doctor for murder?

I ask this because if I were to pay for an abortion, I would be guilty of accessory to murder spiritually, because I know from reading Luke that the soul enters upon conception. In order for the government to prove murder by abortion and then execute the three people involved, there would be an extraordinary amount of privacy compromised. Is the cure worse than the disease? God made the woman in charge of delivering one of His created souls into the flesh world, how far should the govenment intrude on this? I've asked myself this for years and can't come up with a solution. What's your solution?

Biden runs nothing, Obama runs everything. If McCain would've won the free speech hating McCain would've ran the show, not Sarah

I voted CP. You can't keep from lying can you. Every post of yours is further proof the good side won in 1865.
