“Obama’s 4th term”

For certain.

Bkmk.

[Michael.SF.]

Do you really believe that wanting to end slavery was a ‘radical’ idea?

[Michael.SF.]

Exactly. I like VDH, but he gives Biden credit for actions that are not his.

[Carriage Hill]

It’s NOT Biden who’s dangerously radical; IT’S THE PEOPLE WHO ARE PULLING BIDEN’S STRINGS, who are the menace to America. He has no real idea of what’s going on.

[Maudeen]

It’s not Biden that dangerous. . .it’s the people giving him the script.

[GOPJ]

Well, the people behind Biden are the most dangerous in our lifetime... or one of my pet theories is a cult genius/hero within the CIA has gone criminally insane and is attempting to destroy the world... all out TNW...

Abraham LincolnJefferson Davis. 750,000 dead because of him, and massive economic destruction thereafter, plus a completely restructured relationship between the states and government without a constitutional amendment.

Do you really believe that wanting to end slavery was a ‘radical’ idea?

Well firstly, Lincoln didn't want to end slavery. In his first inaugural address he called for the passage of the "Corwin Amendment" which would guarantee slavery indefinitely. Lincoln also did not end any slavery in areas under his control.

Secondly, in 1860, it was indeed a very radical idea to end slavery. Most people in the USA opposed slavery in 1860, but not at all for the reasons people nowadays think.

The reasons most people opposed slavery in 1850 were as follows.

1. They hated black people and they did not want them in their country.
2. They regarded "free labor" as an economic threat against their ability to work for income.
3. They hated wealthy people getting rich through slavery while they had to work for a living.
4. A very tiny minority thought it was morally wrong. These people were considered kooks at the time.

What makes the idea of ending slavery radical was that about 800 million of the 4 billion GDP was created by those slaves. US Government revenues were about 72% produced by slaves.

This is why Lincoln supported the Corwin amendment in an effort to keep the Southern states from leaving. Those states were supplying most of his revenue.

[DiogenesLamp]

Jefferson Davis had no control over an army invading him. That was all Lincoln. Only Lincoln had control as to whether or not there was going to be a war, and he chose to have a war.

He chose so deliberately.

[DiogenesLamp]

Well, the people behind Biden are the most dangerous in our lifetime... or one of my pet theories is a cult genius/hero within the CIA has gone criminally insane and is attempting to destroy the world... all out TNW...

They aren't insane, they just live in a bubble where they only associate with Northeastern "elites" of wealth and privilege. They have an unrealistic view of reality because they grew up pampered and from well to do families.

To be in CIA leadership, you pretty much have to go to an Ivy League University.

[DiogenesLamp]

Exactly. I like VDH, but he gives Biden credit for actions that are not his.

This. Biden is an idiot who has not been right about anything in his entire life. He was one of the primary proponents of defunding South Vietnam and thereby causing the loss of the Vietnam war.

He's always been an idiot.

[Michael.SF.]

I agree with you on that, I disagree with VDH that Biden is calling the shots. I think he says that to avoid a discussion on who really is in control.

[DiogenesLamp]

I agree with you on that, I disagree with VDH that Biden is calling the shots. I think he says that to avoid a discussion on who really is in control.

I think a lot of people view the idea of a "shadow government" to be a "conspiracy theory" and therefore not credible.

I think many of them very strongly do not want to believe there is something going on beneath the surface.

It does seem that way.

Alphabet agency employees absolutely hate traditional Americans as evidenced by their deeds. Destroying the country is probably an end game for them.

[Dawgreg]

Biden is the most dangerously radical vessel in US history.

Anybody who thinks Odungo isn’t serving a 3rd term is dumber than a box of hair.......

Thanks for posting. Every Freeper should forward this interview to everyone on their mailing list. This is a most insightful interview describing how the radical left is leading a revolution to change America against the will of the majority. They cannot win by popular support so they are winning by gaining control and weaponizing our institutions.

Hey Lampster! How you been? Taking your meds like a good boy?

750,000 dead because Jeff Davis and that other treasonous Confederate son of a bitch Robert E. Lee took it on themselves to secede from the Union and start a war to preserve slavery.

[DiogenesLamp]

Your lies don't work on people who have actually researched what happened.

Lincoln started the war because the South was going to economically rape his big business buddies in the Northeast. (same human garbage still controlling Washington DC today)

Without the government being able to force the money to flow through their pockets, they were going to go bust.
