interesting article but the author forgot to mention the rampant slavery that flourished in the Oriental countries. Slavery and servitude was the rule, not the exception.
Who built the Taj Mahal? Who built the pyramids of Egypt? Who built the Cahokia Mounds and other American Indian structures? Who built the Aztec, Mayan and Inca temples? Who built Ankor Wat? Who built the Chinese Emperor’s burial chamber? Who built the Appian Way? All were built by slaves. Who ended slavery? The United States.

Prof. Williams is attempting to point out how certain “power brokers” in government attempt to defeat the system by referring to use of “cards”, in this case, the “3/5’s Slavery card”. Had slave states been given full person status for the slaves, their representation in congress would have dominated all legislation, in effect forcing the non-slave states to bend to their will. It was either compromise and have a constitutional republic instead of a monarchy/dictatorship, or a bunch of self-involved state governments going at each other. The citizens of the colonies had already endured monarchial government, in fact just won a war of independence from said monarchy.
Currently, the leftist movements are trending towards granting Electoral College votes to the popular vote winner. Essentially, they will grant the right to vote to an enormous number of non-citizens, thusly jacking up the number of popular votes for the leftist candidate who promises them the most goodies and freebies. This will have the effect of nullifying a tremendous number of legal citizen’s votes in the sparsely populated regions of the country who still honor the Electoral College.
Instead of acting like the union that we are supposed to be, several of the states are trying to nullify the union by going their separate ways regarding voting just so they can get the socialist/marxists elected and effect extremely radical change on the country. As he said “merely a convenient moral posturing tool they use in their attempt to reduce respect for our Constitution”.
Don’t bite the hand that feeds you… it just might turn the knob that does you in! Suppose, in those states going for popular count that Trump is able to make the biggest and best promises of goodies and freebies, and further imagine the popular vote going his way in those states! Wouldn’t that be something? What are the odds that morons and idiots in those states would take the free shhh...tuff he offers them?
Then, not only does your population lose the election... they’re also stuck with the large number of illegal immigrants now occupying your home-sweet-home that will need to be fed and taken care of. Just imagine the taxes that will be required to pull off that feat!
Serf is the Norman French word for slave.
