The plan is to not be stupid enough to get drawn into arguments over the morality of slavery thinking that you will magically exempt the Founders.
The Founders who owned slaves aren’t going to be granted an exemption.
The Left are going to call the Founders racist no matter what anyone else says. It’s what they do. Dimwits like Dinesh and Beck think it’s a great idea to battle the Left on the ground of their choosing.
It’s usually not a good idea to act as useful idiot for the Left in their endless quest to denigrate and legitimatize America, unless your goal is to help them do it.
I don’t think anybody, including myself, thinks the Founders will receive some sort of an “exception”, nor is it a moral argument of slavery.
The problem stems from decades ago, when conservatives could and should have stopped sending their children off to the re-education centers we commonly refer to as “universities”. That refusal didn’t happen. So starting in the 80s when this idea of the Founders as racist was cooked up by academia, it was implanted into every non-conservative and conservative student possible and has since been increasingly implanted for the last 3 to 4 decades. So the argument is here, it was allowed to grow and fully bloom all of its flowers. The argument cannot be avoided. The only argument now is how to deal with it, we have no choice but to deal with it. We surrendered that choice of avoiding it 4 decades ago.
The real point isn’t what progressives call anybody. The point is what do the facts say. The facts say that early colonial and yes some founders were fighting against the British to prevent slavery from coming to these shores meanwhile his highness fought against this abolitionist wave and imposed slavery on us anyways, against our will. The facts say that the king and/or parliament during this time period are the ones who were on the wrong side of history.
The bottom line is that these facts give us, not the progressives, the advantage. Even if its a small one. You can leave that advantage on the table if you choose, many of us will not. Not sure why on earth you would do that since its the only advantage on this issue you will get(or that I have seen so far), but that is in fact your choice. And since we have the advantage here, it is in no way battling on the “ground of their choosing”. Progressives would never leave us on any ground with any advantage. This is our choosing.(as you pointed out, others are already here; Dinesh, etc.) Sitting around in apathy, now that is the “ground of their choosing”. What they want is for us to either feel hopeless, or to feel “above it all”. Neither is constructive and I reject both.
The only reason the progressives think they have an advantage is because most don’t know these facts exist. Their advantage is in the perception and decades of time, nothing more. That’s why I don’t post on my blog very often, because I’m not primarily a blogger. These facts are going up on YouTube and other places as fast as I can create and get them there, hopefully it will make up the time difference. Basically I’m trying to do something different than how others do. So far it doesn’t seem to be censored by big tech. Only time will tell.
I don’t like leaving in disagreement but think that you and I are just about done here. I do hope you have a good day/evening.
