NYT’s Mara Gay on Republicans criticizing Colorado for banning Trump from the ballot: “Why are you standing with confederates who betrayed this country?”
Open Border. Facilitated by Biden. And invasion purposefully brought on by the President. Insurrection, if you ask me. Biden needs to be kicked off the ballot in Florida and Texas.
The enemy is in the gates, folks.
There is nowhere to go except kinetically. The enemy is not going to just go away.
Evil never sleeps.

I’ll stand with Confederates over Communists everyday?
I lived in the Jim Crow South... all the ‘confederates’ and all the Jim Crow racists years later were democrats. This woman is a fool. KKK members in the US Senate were democrats. And Biden gave a eulogy for one of ‘em...
In both cases, I think I agree with them. Per slaves, the amendment needed to be implemented, and per secession, well, might made right. The north banged them into submission, and the issue was settled.
Well, yep. I mean, they had a right to attempt a different interpretation of the Constitution.
What makes this really interesting is per James Oakes, “Freedom National,” the abolitionists in the 1830s developed a long-run strategy to end slavery either democratically by bringing in so many free states via the territory system they would have the votes in Congress or via amendment to remove it, or, by military force if the South reacted with a war. This is a brilliant insight as Oakes supports this with numerous SOUTHERNERS who saw exactly the same thing, and warned that if war came, they would lose their slaves.
