I think you need to get your eyes examined then.
Let me guess, you teach lefty college students and can baffle them with bullshit all day long and think you can do it here, too?
It's obvious your baffled, but I think you were that way before our discussion even started.
They HAD to force a crisis ... you know, something too good to waste?
The ever popular "We wuz so stoopid we done fell into Linkum's trap" excuse. Anything to admit responsibility for your actions. It's the most common Southern whine, and you do it well.
You really are stupid.
That's what, your third pot-meet-kettle moment today alone? Or is it the fourth?
You act as if there was no other choice but “slavery forever” instead of your war of aggression that destroyed a Republic.
War was what the Davis regime chose to further their aims. And they lost it. Badly. Was it worth it?
The Constitution shredded and we are enjoying a wonderful relationship between the races.
Yeah those pesky blacks must be a constant annoyance to you. Can't live with 'em, can't own 'em. What's a true Lost Causer to do?
“Yeah those pesky blacks must be a constant annoyance to you. Can’t live with ‘em, can’t own ‘em. What’s a true Lost Causer to do?”
Wow. That was quite a hissy fit. I saw my little niece throw one like that once, but this was far more peevish and yet maintained a sophisticated girlishness.
OK. I’m sorry. You were right. When Abe wanted to round up all the slaves and ship them off to Africa it wasn’t as bad as I said. He wasn’t a demonic killer, he just hired them to do his dirty work. The North loved the Black people, that’s why they took such good care of them before and especially after the war. The whole thing was for their betterment and they were treated like royalty, as they should, us having just killed half a million people to allow them their freedom. And those extra few years that we saved them from slavery allowed them to freely roam the countryside, begging for scraps and dying with dignity.
And you are also right, there really is no race problem today. If there is, it is all my fault and those like me who constantly espouse racial hatred that you obviously see somewhere in my posts. You don’t point it out, but I know it must be there.
Also, although it is hard to admit, because after 5 years and about a zillion posts, you are the only one except your alter ego Zak to suggest that I might be a liberal troll, so I will examine my political beliefs intently.
I’m sorry I called you stupid. You are without a doubt the most brilliant poster I have ever read. Thank you for gracing me with your insight and wisdom, especially in the matter of Lincoln and his resolve to deport all the black folks to a much nicer place than I believed; from all of the historical documents and common knowledge, it is obvious we have all been duped. They were obviously forged or overstated.
I am sure Liberia, with it’s verdant forests, abundance of fresh water, game, food and shelter and friendly natives would have been a pleasure for them. It was very helpful to me personally and I know that others will benefit from this knowledge, too, that the widely held belief that it was not to good a place is in error.
Now, stay away from blunt instruments for a few days, breathe deeply and try not to post anymore, at least for a while. I don’t want you to hurt yourself. Clean the spittle from your keyboard and screen; consider a hobby. Knitting is said to give a calming effect. I think Freud recommended it to his female patients to calm bouts of hysteria, which he described well; they seemed to be very similar to your mindset this afternoon. The wandering thoughts, inability to be clear, fantasy, ranging from wild to calm, yet with a seething rage just below the surface, you are clearly in need of a rest. Perhaps you should take some time off from convincing the world that half of America and its inhabitants are evil.
Perhaps a relaxing trip to Liberia? I hear it is wonderful there this time of year. Don’t take any “dirty looking stones” from anyone, though.
OK Ma’am? Please, don’t do anything drastic. I would feel just awful. If your mind keeps turning to thoughts of Lincoln not being the Savior, push them out. You will recover shortly. Be strong and you will once again feel like a new woman.
