If you're wondering why I keep replying, this is another fantastic gem. LOL
Watching you continue to reply to things I'm not saying is quite hilarious.
"You are definitely right. Thomas Jefferson, like Abraham Lincoln, was a leader of the civil rights movement and a lifelong abolitionist. That explains why legions of black activists....."
Back before the 20th century when history was taken over and dominated by progressives, that's more true than your sarcasm would admit. Frederick Douglass wrote that he learned that slavery was worse than how the British treated the colonists before the war, from Thomas Jefferson.
The fathers of this republic waged a seven years war for political liberty. Thomas Jefferson taught me that my bondage was, in its essence, worse than ages of that which your fathers rose in rebellion to oppose. 1
Douglass would frequently do this, cite or laud Jefferson. Or both, along with defending the Founding Fathers in general, as well as defending the Constitution itself.
This was the impression made by an intelligent negro upon the father of American Democracy, in the earlier and better years of the Republic. I wish that it were possible to make a similar impression upon the children of the American Democracy of this generation. Jefferson was not ashamed to call the black man his brother and to address him as a gentleman. 2
and:
But I differ from those who charge this baseness on the framers of the Constitution of the United States. It is a slander upon their memory, at least, so I believe. 3
So no, all you're doing is once again proving your deep trust in, and complete reliance upon, progressive history. You'll never question them: the progressives.
You'll never ask yourself the question "how did we get to a place where before progressivism, even former slaves themselves recognized that the Founding Fathers were on the correct side of history, but today we have people who were never even slaves themselves full of hatred"
The answer is of course, original source material and honest historians. That's what they had back then, two things you have no use for today. You don't even read what I'm typing, you're responding to your own mania and having a conversation with yourself. And doing so in real time where everybody can see you. It's hilarious.
"Jenkinson dissenting:"
We already have your opinion on record that if an abolitionist such as either Clarkson, Wilberforce, Jefferson or any other thought it was a good idea to send blacks to Sierra Leone or Liberia that they were practicing ethnic cleansers.
Got it. We're good on that knowledge from you. The fact remains, the Founding Fathers are defensible so I'm comfortable with going out on a limb for them. It's the progressives who are not defensible. You don't even try - you just accept their version as "the fact" and go from there.
"In stating your opinion that "99% of the [Barton] book is very likely accurate," with the parts about Lemen being the one singular exception, did you reach this conclusion with, or without, having actually read the book?"
My quote answers itself in total in the first 10 of my words.
But first, let's not forget. In your mania you originally thought this quote below was about the Lemen book, NOT the Barton book. Since this is for the court, let your Brandon dementia be considered. Here is what you said at 45:
There was no compact, only forged documents presented by Lemen. There is no 99% accuracy when the central topic is a load of crap based on forged documents.It is quite difficult to see the 99% accuracy in a book about a compact that never existed, unless one sees that author MacNaul accurately set forth what Lemen falsely claimed. The problem was that Lemen's claims were nothing more than a fabulous bullcrap story based on a pile of forged documents.
Barton's book is not "a book about a compact". Don't tumble while on those stairs Brandon.
Now for what I said at 42:
ProgressingAmerica at 42: The problem with progressives is their aggressive use of language. 99% of the book is very likely accurate, and James Lemen is *THE* one singular item that is found to be fraudulent.
Since progressives are your beloved, you can't find it within yourself to accept that you already have your answer in the first 10 quoted words, at post 42. There's no possible way, for you, that it is progressivism at issue. You are not going to blame progressives so that just cannot compute. If you weren't so full of rage and anger you would've caught that I doubled down on it:
The problem with progressives is their aggressive use of language. 99% of the book is very likely accurate, and James Lemen is *THE* one singular item that is found to be fraudulent.But leftists manipulate. You got a Lemen story in your book? Well then obviously the whole entire book, every last page, is fraudulent.
But you love progressives. So you must, MUST ignore not only the first 10 quoted words, in order to protect your reality and that little box you live in you also must ignore also the three words that follow.
