Republicans think slavery was a necessary evil???

Cotton did not say that slavery was a necessary evil. At least not in the way that you're trying to spin it as. He did say those words, but in full contect he was talking about how the Founders felt.

And your title should have at least been framed as a question. As it stands it's nothing more than spin at best.

 

I never claimed “framers” started anything.

 

No thanks

 

The worst mistake European settlers to the Americas and their descendants made was the slave trade. Without it there would be few Negroes in North and South America. Southern whites should have grown their own cotton and tobacco.

 

So one person said this and magically all Republicans believe it.

That means all blacks think like Farrakhan, right?

Where's your thread on that?

 

actually yes, he did.

 

While you seethe in your unctuous overreaction to the idea of slavery, you may want to jar your memory and focus on two things:

1. Black-on-black slavery was a customary, normal "way of life" among Sub-Saharan African negro tribes for thousands of years before anybody showed up from the Middle-East or Europe to buy slaves from the many victorious negro chieftains and other 'slavers'!

2. Slavery wasn't done away with in Great Britain until 1833. Slavery did not end completely in France until 1848. And, slavery ended in the United States in 1865.

Now -- want a real eye-opener? SLAVERY IS ACTIVELY PRACTICED IN THE WORLD TO THIS DAY!

"Although outlawed in all countries today, slavery is practiced in secret in many parts of the world. There are an estimated 30 million victims of slavery worldwide. In Mauritania alone, up to 600,000 men, women and children, or 20% of the population, are enslaved, many of them used as bonded labour. During the Second Sudanese Civil War people were taken into slavery; estimates of abductions range from 14,000 to 200,000. In Niger, where the practice of slavery was outlawed in 2003, a study found that almost 8% of the population are still slaves."

You didn't even read the quote you posted. He said the founding fathers thought that. He didn't say he thinks that.

 

I'm sure you read the rest of that post. Too bad you cut it off in order to ignore the rest. Guess you're not all that big on context when it doesn't suit your purposes huh?

 

You just hate MCCain because he brought truth to Bonespurs face. The accident with that horrific fire was not caused by MCCain.

No one said that John's flying career was distinguished. John served Donnie got out of serving by lying. I will take the guy who served his country over the guy who schiested on Veterans and military, steals funding from military budgeted litems, and continues to schiest on those who serve and served.

 

Truth does not matter at all. Context only matters when it suits their purposes. And in this case truth and context definitely took a seat in the trunk.

 

Here are nations that still have not outlawed slavery. Some of those nations still condone forced child labor, forced marriage, commercial sexual exploitation, bonded labor, etc...

 

Ahh, sorry I missed the satire.

 

Canada hasn't outlawed slavery? I'm shocked! Also while Africa is still split on slavery for all of the evils of those bad Ruskies, they've outlawed it too. Moral of the story: Humanity is complex

 

He wasn’t a slave owner, but he did say this in 1987: “ We Delawareans were on the South’s side in the Civil War.” And he certainly cozied up to the racist Dixiecrats who opposed integration. He spoke at KKKByrd’s funeral and also Strom Thurman’s. Kampala was right about him.

 

41 of the Founding Fathers owned slaves at some point including quite a few from Northern States like Ben Franklin, John Hancock, John Jay, Francis Lewis and more...

 

I hated McCain while we were both serving on aircraft carriers, both within the Vietnam theater of operations. Your notion the younger McCain was honest and upright is, of course, your opinion only. But in point of fact he blamed the very VP who revived his flagging campaign. Cartoonist Gary Varvel summed it up nicely with Palin in a cemetery pulling the Elephant out of his grave. So McCain loses and slimes her. Just as the media adored him and slimed her.

 

MSM = Fake News

 

So what? They would have probably worked more slaves than that to death, raped more slave women for sport and degraded the American character that much more, so all in all, it was a fair trade.
To claim otherwise is just more white privilege. No wonder the cons buy into that bullshit.

 

Along with reading should also be comprehension. What he stated is pretty profound and you missed it.

 

"So what" about that many deaths says a lot about the morality of killing 55 million unborn American citizens. Democrats can't stand the idea that they are the death-merchants. They've killed far more than the right ever thought to do in any of our wars.

Is it a "fair trade" for Republicans to find homes with Biden signs out front and break in and kill them? Can we find 55 million Biden supporters or just settle for those with the lawn signs and bumper stickers?

Oh, wait. Killing babies is legal. Until Ginsberg dies. Ponder that this November.

 

By admitting that you hated MCCain from before he even became a POW makes me question your access ent of Palin's "contribution" to the campaign. What I u Dr stand is that Panel was pushed on him as VEEP candidate. I was a McCain supporter from the time he ran against W. I just knew in my gut that Palin was a lightweight and could not fill the position of POTUS if it got to that. She was cutesey and told 'mama grilled' jokes and 'lipstick' jokes. There were at least 3-4 Republican women who could have made a good VEEP. candidate albeit not cutesy.

The woman had 2 years experience as governor of a state with a smaller population than the little city that I grew up in. She had the oil welfare payments that were given to Alaska residents so to say that she managed the finances of Alaska well is a joke.

I be,I eve that by October 2008 her cutseyness wore out and so did her contribution to the MCCain election.

 

Do you believe ONLY Democrats/Liberals have abortions? If yes, please show us all the factual evidence you have supporting such claim.

 

Fair trade? The entire South was desolated for a century after the war! Even Vietnam got a better deal than the Southern States. My position on this is becoming clear. Were I a Southerner, it has become quite clear that the North views them antagonistically so and will once again be cause for the union's dissolution

 

Opinion at best.
