Educating the brainwashed can be so tedious, but you might be worth it:

There is no conflict now. -- The 14th was ratified to end such conflict.

BS. The 14th was "ratified" in 1868, the war ended in April 1865. The 14th was ratified to extend the power of centralized government over decentralized government.

You're just a loonie who won't stop fighting the civil war.

What a cheap, boneheaded, tiresome non-sequitur. yawn. The 14th Amendment was not a civil war issue. It came well after the war. It is an original construction vs. reconstruction issue. You oppose original construction, and support reconstruction. Who is the most American? Article V was violated by the 14th Amendment proponents, why is Article V less important than the 14th Amendment? You have selective appreciation for the Constitution. Quite liberal of you, you loon.

States 'rights' [powers] was one of the main issues. The states insisted they had the power to write law that violated the constitution. -- The civil war, & the 14th, settled that question, - suppposedly.

It came well after the war. It is an original construction vs. reconstruction issue. You oppose original construction, and support reconstruction. Who is the most American? Article V was violated by the 14th Amendment proponents, why is Article V less important than the 14th Amendment? You have selective appreciation for the Constitution.

The 14th only clarifies Art. V, as anyone can read. -- You are the 'loonie' on the subject, not me.
