You miss the point. Nothing is ever worse than slavery of blacks by non-blacks (in this case whites). Thus none of those other imperfect people matter because they’re more perfect than horrible white men of whom some owned (black) slaves.

Yeah, sure. Why not stop there? Everything written by dead, white men needs to be purged.

What the Wokies really want is to follow Pol Pot’s script. That is: Declare this the Year Zero and just basically do everything they say, no matter how ridiculous. It will probably work out for everyone just as well as it did for the poor citizens of Cambodia.

As far as I’m concerned anyone who renounces our Constitution is committing treason. If they don’t like it, there is a process to modify it.

To me it's amazing that the country was thiiiisssss close to being founded as an abolitionist nation. In both the 1770's when the Declaration was being debated and signed by delegates from the 13 states, and later in the 1780's with the Constitution, 11 of the 13 states were willing to start the nation with slavery outlawed. Only 2 states (Georgia and South Carolina) dug their heels in and said they wouldn't help start the nation unless they could keep slaves.

And this was in the 18th century (that's 1700's to those of you in Rio Linda). I see it as the First Great Awakening batting a couple of singles to get some men on base but not quite bring them home, then the Second Great Awakening hitting some singles and doubles to bring home the runners and win the game.

To me, what God did through the great awakenings is nothing short of amazing.

Your point?

They HATE this country, and everything associated with it. The Founders must be horrible, because this country is horrible.

Meanwhile, the last 2 years they’ve been turning it around and calling US traitors!

I hate these commie traitor bastards.

Obviously, the remedy is to get rid of the Constitution and enslave ourselves to the tender mercies of the Department of Justice and little adam schiff.

The Democrat Party was literally founded by slave owners

Why is the Left obsessed with upholding their power?

Yep, there would of been no United States without the slave states, and the slave states would never have joined had they known what would happen.

Candace McDuffie, another confused woman writing this nonsense.

The Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land ratified by the American People and the States thereof. The Constitution and the Declaration of Independence are maybe the most inspired political documents besides the Bible, ever created, and created the freest country maybe ever guided by just Rule of Law and the envy of the world.

What? Because the Founders were not perfect you want to throw away the framework of the envy of the world? And, what, replace it with your bloody tyranny of the Rule of Man with your oppressive third-world totalitarian government?

Freedom isn’t perfect, but it’s way ahead of whatever’s in second place.

Dang it she’s on to us! I’m headed for the bunker..

They demand color-blindness for us yet they’re the ones still obsessed with race.

Interesting. Do you know of a good book or source which discusses this? I’d like to know more.

We’re obsessed with upholding it because the Founding Fathers provided it to us because they knew that someday there would be ditzy, braindead broads like Candy McDuffie wandering around America with a “What the ....?” look on their faces who don’t have a whole lot to do with their lives.

Which part of the constitution speaks specifically about or lays out the ground rules for treating slaves. Where in the constitution are slaves or slave owners mentioned. How is the constitution specifically against slaves or any race?
