Actually STAND that you don't understand what I am saying is a credit to my brilliance.

Consider this for a second....at least 65 to 75% of the original Christan settlers to this country were indentured servants, every apprentice prior to the revolutionary war was a servant to his master, and every debtor had the choice of prison or labor or service to the person he owed money to.

In short at one time everyone but those few rich enough to come here on there own and make their way on this Continent was at one time a "slave", if we are to interpet the constitution as I am being told I must.

Why would a nation born of slaves, built by slaves, freed by an upirsing of those very slaves, allow slavery in the very documents and laws that made it reality, made it a free nation, under the rule of no other nation, bond to serve no other nation?

Since you never answer the questions I put to you, I'll start answering them for you, slavery was never meant to be in this country, we could not maintain a country based upon freedom and liberty without all men being free.

That's why the real cause of the civil war will always be slavery, there came a point in time when those that had once been enslaved and their children and their children's children said all people must be free. And when their voices got loud enough and they held enough power to elect a president, The rich democrat slaveowners of the south decided to rebel against the very ideal of freedom for all, and lost everything in the end because they were no better then those that once enslaved americans for the sake of profit.

That you, "a republican party Official" are so at odds with the very reasons this party was founded upon, is while a testement ot the ignorance of history forced upon this country by years of democrat rule. The very democrats that forced a battle for civil rights are now falsely hailed as the champions of civil rights, and the republican party that fought for all to be free is now condemned from within and without as racist and treasonous for fighting for The constitution, That more prefect union our forefathers dreampt of creating.

since about 2/3 of the SIGNERS of the Constitution (on behalf of their STATES) were involved in the slave trade, your opinion on this is as DUMB as most of your other FALSE & SELF-righteous notions.

your OPINION (which you try to dress up as if it was FACT, rather than IGNORANT personal opinion) will receive all the respect it deserves = ZILCH.
