Pelosi is as knowledgeable in history as in Catholic theology. Just for the record Lincoln issues the Proclamation under his Constitutional role as commander in chief during a time of war/rebellion. It was directed to deprive the Confederacy of slave labor aiding the rebellion. The slaves were not freed in the border states that remained in the Union. It took the passage of the 13th amendment to end slavery.

Let them have their day.

Let them gloat and strut and prattle.

It will all blow up in their faces bigtime.

the Emancipation Proclamation benefitted black folk.
this dicktat only imcreases black peoples’ unemployment
and for years and years to come

Nacny should go back to her abortion clinic and (we are told) non-union winery/factory.... and leave America alone

she’s done us more than enough damage already (recalling her lead role in foisting Obamacare on us without even giving our elected representatives or ...us...a chance to read what was in the 2200 page bill.............................also recalling she changed the standard wording on the certification paper she signed claiming BHO was eligible to run for the office in the first place)

Nancy, yo’ve done tremendous damage to America.
time to award yourself a nice big trophy and retire!

Pelosi is an old woman who’s time and influence are fading rapidly. It is apparent that she makes these outrageous statements in a last-ditch, desperate attempt to remain relevant ... hoping against hope that people will take her seriously when all they really do, some with heavy sadness, laugh at her.

The Emancipation Proclamation was an illegal and unconstitutional act that freed no one.

Shouldn’t we give them all participation awards for helping out?

anything that will help her retire earlier is worthwhile
(remembering also her staff explanation that she will not respond to any constitutent letters, or rather any letters from any American when she was Speaker of the House....if said constituent’s name isn’t on her contribution list...)

so much for reprsentative government

Does Nancy Pelosi know that Japanese Americans were interred during World War II by executive order? Is she saying that we need to honor and respect and agree with all executive orders? What exactly is she saying???

Please do not insult Phyllis and Marie that way. It’s very unkind.
