I suppose next he will suggest that the BILL OF RIGHTS should be modified or repealed.
Yep, he's frothing at the mouth and lying in all directions now.
It's really funny when Ol'BJ blows a seal...not that there's anything wrong with that.
If it weren't for the Fifth Amendment, the prisons would probably be overflowing with minorities.
The slave owners are no more. The TRAITORS seem to be in New England and California, with perhaps some other infestations in places such as Illinois and NYC. Occasionally they show up on FR. To be totally safe from their presence one can go to any recruiting station. They never go there.
It is sometimes surprising to learn the identity of those who "were never really interested in the Constitution." Dickie Dunn RBJ wrote it, it must be true.
That RBJ Traitor Jefferson, author of "all men are created equal" and, ahem, close companion of a young lady named Sally Hemings (when Ms. Jefferson was not around).
Thomas Jefferson in 1769 offered a reward for the return of his mulatto slave Sandy: £2 if captured within Albemarle County, £4 if captured elsewhere in Virginia, and £10 if brought back from another colony.Source: Don E. Fehrenbacher, The Slaveholding Republic, Oxford University Press 2001, p. 206
RBJ traitor Washington, toiling tirelessly all day. It was tough work writing letters and advertisements all day, but somebody had to do it.
ON APRIL 19, 1775, the day of the memorable clashes at Lexington and Concord, two British-born indentured servants launched their own personal rebellion in Fairfax County, Virginia. Thomas Spears (carpenter, pock-marked and freckled, with a drawling voice) and William Webster (brickmaker, well-built, with a roundish face and a broad Scots accent) slipped away from their master's plantation under the cover of night and headed down the Potomac in a small boat. George Washington described them carefully in an advertisement that he placed in the Virginia Gazette at Williamsburg. He offered twenty dollars apiece for their capture. The men may have been still at large in June, when Washington accepted appointment as commander in chief of the Continental Army and set out for Massachusetts. By autumn, however, both had returned, or been returned, to Mount Vernon.Source: Don E. Fehrenbacher, The Slaveholding Republic, Oxford University Press 2001, p. 205Runaways were a common feature of late colonial society, and from Virginia northward, especially, they included white persons as well as black. Washington, who had a relatively small number of white servants on his plantation, was more often bothered by the flight or truancy of a slave. On August 2, 1771, for example, he made this entry in his diary: " At home all day a writing letters and advertisements of Harry who run away the 29th."
