To think, notwithstanding the outcome of the Civil War, that same wicked American prejudice extended into our lifetimes. I saw it myself as a boy.
Happily, to a very large degree, we saw it fade away.
Sadly, un-Christian men like Obama have stirred those dying evil embers, though.

Believe it or not, I encounter abortion abolitionists today who hold anti-Constitution views. Not many, but some.

There is nothing like the lash and sting of necessity to make a man work, and my paper furnished this motive power.Considering the source, a powerful metaphor.
