Don’t forget, as a baptist minister MLK and Muslim Malcolm X had less than enlightened views about homosexuality.
I did NOT know this one... a little shocking...
I don’t see how we can ever come together as a country again.
The only peaceful solution is to work out some kind of separation.
I am absolutely sick of liberals and don’t want to have anything to do with them. They are a threat to our freedom, prosperity and everything else that is good.
Leftist politics is a cancer eating away at the foundations of our culture. If we are to MAGA we must do so with no input from the Left.
The left is the enemy of life, of liberty, and of the values instilled by Judeo/Christian heritage.
The left’s Progressivism is an insane doctrine with no rational foundation. It encourages absolute authority of the state over all human activity. It demands the obedience of God, Himself, to its charter of horrors.
Let us be done with this false doctrine of power mongers who seek only control of our lives.
Let us put God back in charge of human events. Let us seek His will in all things great and small. Let us never again surrender God’s authority over our lives.
This is right out of George Orwell’s “1984.”
One must destroy factual history so the “New History” can be written. It should be noted, that “New History” is quite flexible dependent on current ideology and power structures of the winning side. Factual history is irrelevant as it no longer exists.
Right on!
Pray to our Lady of America!
Rename Denver after John Denver! That’s it! you get rid of associations with that racist bastard James W. Denver, but you don’t have to change all the damn signs and letterhead!
Likewise, Austin TX, rename it after Murray Austin, a well beloved haberdasher who lived and worked there in the 1930’s and 40’s.
I’m on a roll here...
When real historical research is done you have to take into consideration the time in which those people lived.
You have to look at everything and not compare what they did with what people do today.
They have to look at how slavery was viewed and look at how it was opposed and fought against.
It took hundreds of years to get to the point where people were sensitive to the plight of slaves.
Then it took hundreds of years to work it out.
The first mark of sensitivity against slavery happened in Spain when a conquistador fought a Catholic priest who debated about whether slaves were humans too and deserved to be treated as humans.
The debate did produce an edict by Queen Isabella that provided for some help for the slaves.
But the important thing was that an important sensitivity happened and eventually, three hundred years later when that sensitivity reached its zenith, in the 1800s, people fought a bloody Civil War to change ideas of slavery in favor of slaves.
Then it took another hundred years for peoples attitudes got to the point where whites treated blacks like regular human beings.
The people now pushing of a scorched earth scenario where all tainting of slavery needs to be removed are just stupid people, and bad decisions are always made by stupid people.
Yes, thank you.
There’s a solution to the problem but it’s not found in this world. It’s found outside the world, in the person of Jesus Christ, and God is starting to come closer as people get more serious about God again.
While we weren’t looking, the spiritual realm shifted from civilian to military footing. What we know as left and right are both useless pieces separated from the whole. Christian faith, per the bible, has robust aspects on both sides. Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of God our Father consists of visiting widows and orphans in their distress [left] and keeping oneself unspotted from the world [right]. Also note that if the personal religious sphere is occupied doing these things, we need far less government to fill in the gaps.
Give the Prince of Peace a chance. He’s right now giving us a chance to say yes to Him, in a battle in which God and the devil are both vying to occupy and hold the land.
I don’t know anyone wanting to knock down the Pyramids in Egypt because they were slave-built. The abolition of slavery represents valid social progress. But we will never know the value of progress if we don’t understand what we progressed from. The problem with modern movements calling themselves progressive, is that they never say exactly what is being progressed from and progressed to. They are so much verbal legerdemain. The abolition of slavery was not.
Well put.
Lets rename America Obama or Obamaland after the greatest man who ever lived and once ruled us wisely and gave us great and cheap healthcare and Jobs. We should bring him back as President for life. Only this would save us from the evil, twisted, demonic, Hitlerite Monster racist TRUMP (may he burn in the lake of fire).

There have historically been some heavy hoodoos on the African continent.
Spiritual slavery will tend to pull a people into physical slavery as well.
I would say it was very sad and shameful when certain influential American Christians played into it by declaring the existence of a “curse of Ham” and then implicitly agreeing to kowtow to this posited curse (because it was economically convenient to have slaves). That helped perpetuate it longer than it would have been. Other American Christian groups rejected that idea and set up underground railroads.
This mess eventually led to the Civil War. Slavery was abolished first in the South and soon after, in the North.
If it hadn’t been for remnants of the belief in the curse hanging on (hence Jim Crow) we might never have had the opening for the Communist Party to eat our lunches by proposing its prohibition for us. This is a reminder that when God’s people won’t speak up, sometimes God makes the “stones” cry out.
/Rant over
I might go and question the William Penn and slavery story. Historically, you don’t start having African slaves brought into the 13 colony area until early 1700s. Generally, in the first twenty years (from what I’ve read) it was strictly small-time tobacco farm owners who got introduced into the African-slave-situation.
William Penn will pass away in 1718 (in the UK).
From early 1630s to the mid 1700s, a fair number of English and Dutch were brought in from debtor’s prisons in Europe, and were ‘obligated’ (sometimes in harsh conditions) to work for their new ‘masters’ in America. Some historians might be attempting to label this crowd as ‘owned slaves’ and I would dispute that.
God came up with the idea before I did :-).
Anyhow, yeah... I think that “gay marriage” was the political event that pushed the battle, which was already going on but rather slowly, into overdrive. That’s bidding very fair to prove a Pyrrhic move on its proponents’ part.
This was the “syrup of ipecac” that finally got America gagging, and before it’s over, a lot of problems look like they will get vomited out.
