Absolutely not. The last book I purchased from a talking head was Rush's first book, The Way Things Ought to Be. That was about 25 years ago. I don't listen to some people because all they do is sell books. I've never read a Mark Levin book, although I'm sure it's more informative than anything O'Reilly has done. Has he ever written anything without someone else's help? And don't get me started on Savage. F-in perpetual infomercial for his books. No, I don't read these people, although I mostly agree with their ideologies.
There is no comparison then and now, that's folly for the purpose of political propaganda. The fact is the Republicans, including the mostly conservatives, up to the passage of the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Act were the party that stood up to the Democrats where the SEGREGATIONIST who were mostly POPULIST found their home. The Democrats have no basis to insult and try to pass blame over to the Republican's on civil rights and voting rights in order to hide their sordid past.
Actually slaves were a huge investment and were fed and taken care of as they were valuable assets and if they were unhealthy and sick and emaciated and not fed well and taken care of became costly and unproductive.
They were freakin slaves what in the hell is there to prove. - - - Updated - - - Unbelievable, do you guys think before you post this garbage.
And that is where your post loses all credulity or worthiness of response. So why won't you answer to the questions about the voluntary ban you are supposed to be applying to your self?
It hard to mess her repeated referring to her daughters by having to refer to them being black instead of just her daughters. Again if Trump were to speak of his kids as "my great WHITE kids" I can imagine the outrage from the left. Same with Hillary talking about little girls and cheering them on, I didn't hear anything the night about the little boys in this country are boys not as worthy to the Democrats?
It's called historical reality, you should study it more. What exactly is unbelievable about my post? You think slave owners bought slaves so they could make them weak and unhealthy and unable to work so they could sit back and watch them die? How absurd.
If you had been born in the south in the early 1800's, you might have become a slave holder as well. It was the culture of that era. So don't be so self-righteous. We are judged by how we behave in the present, now by how others behaved in the past. Take for example abortion. What do you think, that slavery is wrong, but killing children in the womb is right?
That's almost as stupid as saying that pimps buy their women expensive dresses and nice shoes to keep them looking good so more men will screw them. Come to think of it, those cruises during the Middle Passage must have been really nice. They probably had access to the best food and wine all the way on the trip to America.
Liberal Party of Canada. Liberal Party of UK, Liberal Party of New York State. Only reason Dems don't call themselves the Liberal Party is that voters in the US don't like to be identified as liberal.
For me this is the thing. Being livestock ...no matter how poorly or supposedly well treated is the thing. People were treated as livestock with no say in any aspect of their lives. I try to treat my livestock well. If I get short of money I may sell one or two. I take children from parents. I sell non productive stock. I breed for acceptable traits.I normally don't consider what the livestock wants because I know what is good for them. I think people deserve. better. Livestock be livestock.
By all means when in the DC area, drive to Mt. Vernon since it is so close. See how Slaves lived. If you have time to also drive to Monticello, notice the quarters Jefferson provided. Also you will be shown the sources of food eaten by slaves.
It's a given that slavery is an abomination. However if a conservative does not state that in every post concerning race he is labelled a racist. O'Reilly reported the facts.
How many of you mistreat your dog? Or cat if you own one. How often do you starve your pets? When your dog sleeps 16 hrs per day, are you angry? A stupid master would mistreat slaves other than in rare exceptions. Mrs. Obama mentioned slaves were used on the White House but did not claim they were mistreated.
Did Obama allege slaves got beat? I served in the US Army. They too gave me 3 hots and a cot. I mean an actual cot. I did as told. I got up when told. Slept when told. Went where told. Policed areas when told. I mean, that is about the conditions of a slave in my view. - - - Updated - - - I would say that is pretty accurate. I would say you treat your dog or cat about like they got treated.
