Good graphics devolve, you've been busy.
The Republican party was started by Christians who fought to end slavery.
Absolutely true.
But that doesn't mean that Christians did not own slaves in America for hundreds of years before, it does not mean that the Bible was used to justify slavery, and it does not mean that those who opposed abolition were almost all professing Christians.
I live in Minnesota, but not in the 5th district. Used to vote Demonrat, but the party isn't and never was what I thought it was, they did have excellent PR though. I didn't jump the Demonrat ship right after 9/11, but I had a co-worker make Ward Churchill like remarks right after and that was the end of my love for leftism. It wasn't until the War in Iraq that my blinders fully came off and I saw the Demonrats for what they are, lying lying liars and opportunists. If you see what they said about Saddam from 98 to 2003 it is perfectly clear that they aren't opposed to war unless Bush is in charge of the war.
The Nation of Islam is a cult. It has absolutely nothing to do with Islam. It was started by a white man. It is a cult of black separtists. A true muslim believer would not accept this cult. I can not believe we have got to the place in the country where no one can state the TRUTH. I should say it is a cult of a cult.
Well if there was a state that was going to send one to congress it was going to be Liberal bastions of Minn or Mich... No suprises here.
Slavery was a world wide economic system. It was white European Christians that finally ended it. All practiced it. Even blacks. It needs to be put in its historical place. All peoples have been enslaved by someone sometime in history. I would even say the development of Capitalism helped end it as socialism is just another form of slavery.
I think they spelled disgrace wrong in the title.
Thanks for posting this, I hadn't heard about it before (I don't live in Minnesota), but the news cannot be good for the Democrat Party as a whole. The more the radicals on the left are exposed, the better.
Any comment from our friends in Minnesota?
Why yes I do have several comments about Mr. Ellison. But I don't want to get banned.
Some on the Republican Right have sought to make Mr Ellison, a lawyer specialising in representing impoverished blacks,
That would include cop killing Crips.
What about his views about the USA? Where are your loyalties?
5th district is bluer than blue. Barring a speech praising Hitler, Osama, and Satan, he'll probably take the seat.
Try Ike's downtown if you're ever through this way again.
I don't know. In the 5th CD, a speech praising Osama and Satan would probably bump up his totals even more. Not Hitler though, because as we know, in their BDS affected minds Bush = Hitler. /only partial sarcasm
Hey! I live in 5. And we only worship Satan on Tuesdays!
Yah, that's essentially true. The Nation of Islam types aren't even so much a religion as a social movement against white America. I'd be a lot more worried about them working with the Black Panthers then Al-Quada, although I wouldn't count out either, at least among the most radical elements of the already radical movement.
I certainly don't want this man in Congress, but since it's all but assured anyway, I'm mostly just wondering how bad he'll be. I'm hoping he won't be any worse then your run-of-the-mill ultra-leftist a'la Jesse Jackson Jr. but I could be wrong about that. He could turn out to be Cynthia McKinney on steroids, which would be REALLY bad for the country on a whole.
I guess we just have to wait and see.
I guess disgrace is a word you can use without getting banned. Can we say Islamic Excremists here?
