“Shep: “Polls? Polls? We can’t go by polls. If we did we would still have slavery!””
He’s wrong historically as well. Slavery was already headed out when Lincoln started the war.

Correct.
The cotton combine could do ten times the work for one-tenth the cost of a slave. Slavery was doomed by sheer economics. There was no real need to kill 600,000 Americans. I surmise that the real battle was between Federalism and Confederalism, a subtle but very important difference.
Historically, the southern states voted to secede, began raising an army and fired on Ft. Sumpter. Up until that point the union/Lincoln had not freed any slaves, abolished slavery or even proposed to abolish it or fired a shot to begin any hostilities and in fact sought to avoid hostilities. The hostile southern democrats, like democrats today, believed they could do what they damned well pleased without talking to republicans. The south fired the first shots in an effort to keep slavery as their “peculiar” institution.
Bingo! And every lib agenda, gays, guns.... it is all being equated with slavery and racism as the counter.... with absolutely nothing to support this.
Slavery was taken out of the law by an AMENDMENT, and the loss of 750K Americans North and South, ole sheppie You jacka**.
So,...they want to get rid of the 2nd Amendment— then by God, try to pass an amendment to change a Constitutional Right. Try it. Otherwise, shut the hell up.
Ok, sheppie boy... gay is a CHOICE, and you are free to be...queer thanks to our system. Guns are a RIGHT, for self defense and for the militia which is All of the People (Federalist papers and many other locations referenced), vs. the tyrannical King and his resident armies of Hessians and regulars who took over our homes and land to be billetted at our expense (sound familiar?).
The sheppies love the obamaomau, because the subservient assumed role is so familiar to them, him being on their team and all, with a beard wyf. How damn sad and weak, and how far we have fallen.
