“Most neo-Confederate loons on Free Republic are Democrat operatives, trolling to discredit conservatives.”
Hahahahahaha ... ALL the GOP lackeys like you that are helping to develop the “New Southern Strategy” for Mike Steele are bottom feeders who don’t know what Conservatism is.
You forgot to include “Mommy” on your ping list ...
“Still it should be remembered that Stephen Douglas was a slaveholder and had no problem with his Kansas-Nebraska Act extending slavery throughout the West.”
So, in other words, he was much like US Grant, who lived on a small “gift” of a farm on the grounds of a plantation owned by his wife’s family and oversaw (when he was sober) his wife’s plantation and slaves at White Haven for several years until he moved to a free state, at which time he sold his “boy” and went to IL? Do you think Grant “had no problem” with slavery at that time? Or does the suggestion that the corruption of slavery is only relevant when it suits your purposes?
