Exactly my point.
It's all about the court of public opinion. Right now, the abolitionists are the ones being convicted. See if you can figure that one out.
No good deed.
The abolitionists are being convicted, I surely can't figure it out. So yes, I stand by the original question. Shouldn't conservatives stop ignoring The British Empire's role in slavery? Cause if we don't act, the abolitionists get hung.
It is not about truth. It is about propaganda. Setting up someone else as a target if successful will just reduce the number of arrows shot at one but does it really matter if you get hit by fifty or only thirty arrows?
Where's the fairness in that?
Life is not fair.
You think it is about slavery and it is in a way. But not the historic slavery. It is about setting people up for enslavement in the present and future. You do that by getting them to believe they deserve to be enslaved.
It is classic abuser behavior.
Isolate, belittle, humiliate publicly, abuse of property, abuse of person, torture, enslavement, death.
You are expecting the abuser to respond to reasoned arguments.
They won't.
You are wasting both time and energy that could be used more productively in my opinion.
But they are yours to use as you wish.
The historical record is clear, which is likely why you aren't trying to refute it but instead playing these mickey mouse games.
If you don't want to "waste your time" standing up for the Founders, fine, whatever. The Founders are worth it in my view. "You do that by getting them to believe they deserve to be enslaved."
You do this by showing them the irrefutable proof that they were on the correct side of history - which America was. Right now, the progressive historians have people convinced of the opposite because nobody takes to the historical field to elevate the facts. But you don't want to defend the Founders, so what really is your complaint?
Even on Free Republic, it's hard to find people willing to defend the Founders. Very sad commentary.
