    So perhaps explain the Biden quote, "if you don't vote for me, you ain't black."

    Or decades of Dems calling Clarence Thomas "Uncle Tom."

    Are you sure? Democrats all throughout the south support and defend the illegal immigration currently overrunning our southern boarder... To what end? The only answer is slaves to work, illegally for them.

    Buddy, I grew up in the rural south. Around neo-confederates. They are universally conservative. Almost without an exception these days they vote Republican. Playing make-believe isn't going to work on me. But if you feel so strongly about this, you surely have words for your fellow righty @ShadowX , who says that the Confederacy was in the right and the US were the traitors. Go ahead. Show you have some integrity.

    That was because of the 1,000,000 people murdered in order for the feds to seize control from the states.

    Not the scotus

    Those states had split from the union in order to preserve racial authoritarianism, and they started the violence.

    Lol whether you like it or not it was the law of the land. Which the northern states and federal government refused to uphold. Therefore THEY were the traitors.

    The South realized that they were on course for it NOT being the law of the land, so they left. And they attacked the US. THEY were the traitors. And they were traitors SPECIFICALLY FOR THE SAKE OF PRESERVING THEIR RACIST AUTHORITARIANISM.

    No need to wonder. If you ever visit Kinney County in Texas, be sure to stop by this memorial.

    [​IMG]

    It commemorates some of the German Texas immigrants who were slaughtered for resisting conscription. My mom and grandfather brought me there as a kid.

    They can justify their abuse of power as well as you can. I have never heard the argument that the cluster of cells were not "life". They are alive and all of us began that way. They believe it is wrong to end that life and believe they are speaking for those that cannot speak for themselves.

    I understand your argument and why you feel justified in imposing your beliefs on others. You and I can cherry pick examples until the end of time, but end the end, the vast majority of murder throughout history is committed by government and the vast majority of victims were unarmed.

    If you support government interference for what you agree with, you also support it for what you oppose.

    If someone wants to smoke weed, have an abortion, marry their own gender, refuse to consume a pharma product, and buy a gun, there is no excuse for government interference.

    I don't expect you and I to agree on these controversial issues that have divided the nation for generations. I don't see it as a good guy VS bad guy issue. They are all the good guys doing what they believe is right. You're a good guy with good intentions. My position is that government should not be used to impose personal beliefs on others.

    Well, you had me at "visiting Texas".... it's just below Kabul and Darfur on my bucket vacation list....

    I'd have to be conscripted to visit there....

    Interesting slant.... Although I suppose there might be stories of those avoiding Mr. Lincoln's army as well, but probably not to the slaughter level...

    I'm not aware of the Union going around and executing people for avoiding the draft, though it wouldn't surprise me at all if that happened as well. There were definitely violent riots from those against the draft in the north, though . . . and they burned down at least one black orphanage as part of that. Gangs of New York has that whole riot as kind of an interesting backdrop, but they don't get into much detail.

    Shockingly either your parents lied to you or you’re lying to us. That’s the site of the Neuces battle. Those Germans were not being conscripted. They were part of a pro-union militia attempting to travel north to join with a larger union force. And they got their asses handed to them in a battle. Not unarmed people being massacred.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nueces_massacre

    Please either get your facts straight or stop listening to propaganda. Or both would be nice.

    Oh and for the record the vast majority of Germans in texas voted for secession.

    Oh I’ll do better than that.

    “Between August 1, and August 3, 1862, sixty-one German Texans, led by Fritz Tegener, departed from Turtle Creek headed southwest for the Mexican border.[2] Informed of their intentions, Captain Duff dispatched Lieutenant Colin McRae with approximately 96 men in pursuit on August 3, 1862.[1] After six days, Lieutenant McRae and his men spied the German Texans in a small prairie along the Nueces River on August 9.[1] Lieutenant McRae then formulated an attack plan to commence later in the evening. He divided his force into two companies to surround the camp. At approximately 1:00 a.m. on August 10, 1862, the Confederates closed into the camp.[30] At first, however, even surprise and planning did not favor the Confederates. Two Germans wandering from the camp encountered the force.[3] The Confederates fired on these two Germans, which alerted the camp to the assault. Thus alerted, the Germans beat back the first Confederate charge.[31] Several Germans, however, were disheartened by the Confederate presence, and fled the field. Numbers vary, but Stanley McGowen estimates that twenty-three to twenty-eight Germans fled throughout the early morning hours.[32] This reduced the German contingent by over a third. A second charge closer to dawn routed the Germans and led to the flight (at least five Germans fled near the end of the battle, including Tegener), serious incapacitation, or death of all German combatants.[33]

    How about you explain how a group of immigrants who were just fleeing were heavily armed enough to repulse an attack from a Calvary charge.

    Don’t worry. I’ll wait.

    At no point did I say they were "just fleeing." So start there. And apparently I hold the 2nd Amendment in higher regard than you do. Meanwhile, you wanted to pretend this had nothing to do with conscription. You'd know differently if you had read the article. You'd also be aware that unarmed men were hanged at the end of this. And it wasn't the only time Confederates went around hanging and otherwise murdering those who refused to be drafted into their racist cause.

    What makes you so sure that Republicans want or even need your unsolicited advice?
    I haven't seen the data where it proves Christians have the most abortions in the country. Got a link or is this just a guess on your part.
    Let's see your proof broken down by demography while you're at it?

    I wouldn't vote for Walker btw, but even worse than Walker is his opponent, "Reverend" Raphael Warlock, who allegedly ran over his wife and was arrested for obstructing an investigation into child abuse. It stinks that GA. couldn't come up with better candidates.

    So it looks like they both have a history of domestic abuse. Agreed. GA needs to do better.

    And at no point did I say it had nothing to do with conscription. Conscription was ordered. Those Germans didn’t like it because they were part of this:

    “The Union Loyal League, organized by several Forty-Eighters, was one such militia.[19] The actual purpose of the league is still a debated issue. Historians Robert Shook and Stanley McGowen acknowledge, as German Texans maintained at the time, that the group's expressed purpose was to defend the Hill Country from Indians and outlaws.[19][21] Confederates, they confirm, considered the Union Loyal League the enforcement arm of German-Unionist sentiment.[22][23] Confederate officers even implicated the organization in strategies to free Union soldiers from Camp Verde.”

    So they fled in order to meet up with their union forces. And they got their ass beat for it.

    YOU attempted to frame it as if the confederates came over, told them they were being conscripted, these Germans refused and the confederates just massacred a bunch of unarmed people who didn’t want to be conscripted. You conveniently leave out they were the “Union Loyal League”, the enforcement arm of the pro-union Germans in that area, were HEAVILY armed and were going to meet up with their union buddies to kill southerners later.

    Its not surprising honestly as that’s what union propagandists do. Just like they do with Nathan Bedford Forrest attempting to make him into some massively racist klan leader who despised black people. When that’s not even REMOTELY accurate as he offered the Governor to hunt down members of the KKK and kill them for their role in attacking a black family.

    Can you quote anyone here saying anything about that about Forrest? Ah, I see. It was just a desperate dodge.
