Because every country in the world in 1776 was a perfect country with no slaves or other maltreated citizens or subjects, isn’t that right Rockhead? What all the very rich leftist idiots like Rock and Cheadle are ignorant of is the fact that that America started out as an idea as well as a tangible reality. Many of the first Americans and the Founding Fathers knew that slavery was evil and worked to eliminate it. Even a number of the FFs who had slaves knew it was evil and would be eradicated one day. And today ignoramuses like Rock etal live like kings thanks to the wisdom of the FFs. But they’re too stupid to realize it.
In modern day America,
just WHO is living off of another “race’s” labor?
Rhetorical question, of course.
Liberals frequently denigrate the Founding Fathers. They talk about slavery existing and the Founding Fathers allowing for it to continue.
They talk about the 3/5 of a man calculation.
They talk about how the Founding Fathers literally meant that all men, and not women, were created equal.
They talk about how the Founding Fathers enabled settlers to move west and attack/disposess native American Indian tribes, who allegedly lived in peace and harmony with the environment.
And I’ve even heard some radical types talk about how the Founding Fathers didn’t provide for homosexual rights and homosexual marriage.
Because of complaints such as these, because of the fact that the Founding Fathers of the 18th century did not have a liberal 21st century world view, these men are worthless to the liberals of today. Sad but true. The worldview of these liberals is that nothing worthwhile came out of the founding of the United States, because of complaints about slavery, women’s rights, gay rights, and other issues.
Next up — complaints that the Founding Fathers didn’t do enough to fight global warming.
George Washington offered freedom to his slaves due to their numbers growing to large and they wouldn’t leave. When he died his wife gave them all their freedom and they stayed for decades working his plantation.
The first slaves were brought here by a Black man.
Pray for America
