Democrats were allowed to murder even then as they both for slavery.
Second, Brooks was the "Amy Bishop" of his time.
"Born in Roseland, Edgefield County, South Carolina, he was the son of Whitfield and Mary Parsons-Carroll Brooks.
Brooks attended South Carolina College (now known as the University of South Carolina)
but was expelled just before graduation for threatening local police officers with firearms."
Third, note the great wisdom of Ben Franklin (relevant to Obama):
“There is scarce a king in a hundred who would not, if he could, follow the example of
Pharaoh — get first all the people’s money, then their lands, and then make them and
their children servants forever. It will be said that we do not propose to establish kings. I
know it. But there is a natural inclination in mankind to kingly government. It sometimes
relieves them from aristocratic domination. They had rather have one tyrant than 500. It
gives more the appearance of equality among citizens, and that they like. I am
apprehensive — therefore — perhaps too apprehensive — that the government of these
States may in future times end in a monarchy [not called a monarchy but an executive
with monarchial powers]. But this catastrophe, I think, may long be delayed, if in our
proposed system we do not sow the seeds of contention, faction and tumult, by making
our posts of honor places of profit. If we do, I fear that, though we employ at first a
number and not a single person, the number will in time be set aside, it will only nourish
the fetus of a king (as the honorable gentleman from Virginia very aptly expressed it),
and a king will the sooner be set over us.”
-- Benjamin Franklin
Wow! I had no idea the guy who beat Charles Sumner was a Democrat - alike unto today’s wacko Amy Bishop!!! (actually this is not a surprise is it....the more things change the more they stay the same)....
Awesome quotation by Ben Franklin.
Thanks for the added information.
