Democrat Senator and former VP running mate of Hillary Clinton, Tim Kaine (VA) on Tuesday said the United States created slavery.
To think this degenerate liar almost became Vice President of the United States.
“The United States didn’t inherit slavery from anybody. We created it,” said Tim Kaine as he droned on about racism in America.

There you go again, with your false equivalencies. Time and again I have explained to you that there was never any such place known as the “British Union”. It only exists in your mind. You use “States declaring independence from a fictional “British Union” in order to promote your false proposal that there was no difference between the Revolutionary War and the recent unpleasantness. The Revolutionary War was fought by British colonies against the British Monarchy, for independence. TWBTS could be referred to as “States vs a Union”. But certainly the Revolutionary War cannot. Please stop doing that. You remind me of the ugly sister trying to mangle her foot to fit inside the glass shoe.
Do you think memorials to Lincoln should be removed? Y/N
Trump is fighting the swamp. Lincoln helped create the swamp. Washington DC was corrupt before Lincoln got there, but like that other corrupt Liberal lawyer from Illinois who became President, it was a lot more corrupt by the time he left.
Lincoln was the embodiment of the swamp. He defeated William Seward, who was the hands down favorite to win the nomination, and he defeated him with corrupt dirty tricks reminiscent of Nazi brownshirt tactics, and replete with bribery.
I bet you've never read the account of how Lincoln's forces got him the nomination at the Chicago Convention of 1860?
He had "astroturf" supporters hauled in by the trainload, which as a corporate railroad lawyer was easy. He just called in some favors for the big wealthy and powerful railroad tycoons for whom he worked.
Here's a few details about the corrupt Chicago convention of 1860.
Chicago has a looooong history of corruption, starting with Lincoln, and corruption is how he got to be President, and how he ran the administration while he was President.
Lincoln was the swamp.
There you go again with hair splitting terminology you don't like because it makes what you wish to believe a little uncomfortable.
The United Kingdom was a "Union." It was "British."

I've never given it any thought. You may be surprised to know that I'm not convinced Lincoln was a bad person, but I see far too much evidence for it to make me comfortable with calling him good.
There is no "smoking gun". There is just a lot of smoke and circumstantial evidence.
Also, i'm not terribly comfortable with statues and monuments anyway. They seem too close to idols for my comfort.
People should worship God, not other people.
The People who Voted for him and almost made him VP are the dangerous Jackasses.
“There you go again with hair splitting terminology you don't like because it makes what you wish to believe a little uncomfortable.

You project your hairsplitting terminology on me, and immediately follow it up with......... hairsplitting terminology. FYI, the United Kingdom got that name in 1927 when the British Kingdom joined with part of Ireland. You are becoming beyond rancid. You have moved into the realm of irrelevant.
The rest of your post is vapid and wishy-washy. I will put you down as in favor of removing memorials to Lincoln. Thanks for playing.
"United Kingdom" in 1801, which is close enough.
And you are still splitting silly hairs about nothing, and completely botching any response about anything of consequence.
“The medieval conquest and subsequent annexation of Wales by the Kingdom of England, followed by the union between England and Scotland in 1707 to form the Kingdom of Great Britain, and the union in 1801 of Great Britain with the Kingdom of Ireland created the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Five-sixths of Ireland seceded from the UK in 1922, leaving the present formulation of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The UK's current name was adopted in 1927 to reflect the change.“
Note, if you will, that “union” is not capitalized. You can’t show me that there ever was a place named the “British Union”. Again, I ask you to stop using that combination of words in your attempt to equate the Revolutionary War to the Civil War. Perhaps you are conflating the Magic Kingdom and your quest to make something work that simply doesn’t. If the shoe fits, wear it. If it doesn’t, don’t try to shoehorn your foot into it.
The discerning reader will easily see through your lame efforts to give credence to the Confederacy by conflating them with the actions of 13 British Colonies declaring their independence from a Monarchy. You are grasping at straws. Where is the Confederate DOI?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! Funniest thing i've seen all day. :)
Most dictators put their names on their diktats.
His armies "ratified" that Amendment.
It is funny now that you point it out. If I make a mistake I’m glad that makes your day. But you make my point: words matter. If I erred and spelt “capitolized” as “capitalized”, and you capitalize on it, who is “splitting silly hairs”? C’mon man, you can do better.

No further comment.
Lincoln met his untimely demise before the ratifying of the 13th. Lincoln didn’t live to complete his mission, which was to bind up the wounds of the Union with malice towards none and charity for all. That is why we argue over the Civil War to this day. With Lincoln’s untimely demise a chapter of our history did not reach a denouement.
You are irrelevant.
It might have gone better for the people in the South if Lincoln had lived, but it may very well have turned out much the same.
The reconstruction profiteers were coming anyway. Their sons were dead anyway. Their homes were burned anyway.
Not exactly sure what Lincoln might have done differently than what was done.
I wouldn't say all, but many modern problems in this country are the consequence of Lincoln's actions.
Abortion, Homosexual marriage, banning prayer in schools, anchor babies, and so forth are consequences of the 14th amendment which was a consequence of the war.
I'm sure if we thought awhile we might come up with a modern problem that doesn't stem from a court's expansive interpretation of the 14th amendment.
Now that I think of it, much of our problems come from the 24th Amendment, especially the loss of control on Federal spending. I think that the bulk of our crime problem also arises from that Amendment.
The 16th and 17th causes problems. The 18th was just stupid. The 19th has caused a lot of problems.
The 23rd and the 26th caused problems.
So no, not everything traces back to the Civil War. Some of it is more modern stupidity.
Unless I am mistaken, your quibble was the fact that I was capitalizing "U" instead of using a lower case "u".
I didn't think you had made a mistake. I thought you had picked another trifle to pounce on. I think "Union" has the same meaning as "union."
I sometimes capitalize words to draw attention to them, but it never occurred to me this might be seen as changing their meaning or something.
Sheer puffery.
The point is that there is no such entity as the “British Union”, and there never was. You see, once upon a time, Ireland formed a union with the Kingdom of Britain. The result was not a Union. They never called themselves a Union. Only you do that. And you do it to force your fantasy to come to life. The British Colonies in America formed a Union. Do you understand the distinction between a Union and the word union? If you referred to your own imaginary place as the “British union”, would that be any different than from when you say “British Union”? If so, how so?
