I’m assuming everyone that’s working up here loves this awesome country.

Ouch. Look around buddy, most of the people elected to office are working up there because they want a fatter wallet off of the backs of their fellow citizens. I’m sure a lot of staffers are excited about their position and wants to serve the country properly, but a lot of them probably share their congressman’s sentiment about getting rich.

If you’re honest, I hope you’ll run against these political prostitutes some day.

This young man is clearly a principled patriot standing up for all things good and right in America.

For example, from his Twitter feed:
“Time for the Real Housewives of Orange County!!!!”

“I’m America’s next Groomzilla, watch out @TLC”

Black dude loving on the Confederate flag reminds me of Clayton Bigsby-lol:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vf17W212Ps0

In fairness to him, if he understands that slavery was the propaganda theme behind Lincoln’s desire to save the Union and a topic of convenience for him with which to use to dehumanize white Southerners and not discuss the issue of secession…well then BIG PROPS to him.

(and ‘no’, the above is no justification for or endorsement of slavery, which is obviously horrible.)

Lincoln didn’t give two shits about the slaves.

Your sentence is ridiculous, they seceded because of the slavery issue-but you are making the mistake of thinking Lincoln was fighting for the same reason.

He has a large written record of hate for black people that is undeniable.

Lincoln was concerned about the Union way over the slaves and said so…even saying that if the South would stay the slavery issue could be overlooked.

Shall I quote the statements for you?

qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will

together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot

denied everything.”

The Confederate flag represents a bittersweet longing for the past,while acknowledging it has no important place in the present or future.

Most of your ‘political posts’ are wrapped in ‘pretzel logic’.Stick w/the porn.
