You mean, “LSD”, right?
I apologize for trekkies
By all means, apologize for slavery. It will give those speaking the apology a warm feeling without actually doing anything, and it will give those listening the satisfaction of abdicating responsibility for their present lives while watching others cower. Good news all around.
Senile? Dementia?
Wow! I see a fast downward spiral for McCain over the next few days.
I remember hearing McCain’s family once owned slaves in Mississippi.
He has a guilty conscience.
Have the Egyptians apologized yet to the Jews for enslaving them 3000 years ago?
The welfare state is a reincarnation of slavery. Both are evil. One of the many reasons that the RATS are the Evil Party.
Another reason I won’t vote for McCain, under any circumstances.
>>>How about all women apologize for Eves actions? Well?!!!
::hides apple that was being consumed::
:)
True
Oh, gotcha! :-)
We did.
We created Liberia.
Let’s apologize for FDR who started us down the road to Socialism!
I see now.
The Virginian George Washington would NOT have been the first President of the United States of America because Virgina (the largest, most populated and richest of the States) would not have been able to join the Union. Nor any of the other Southern slave-holding States such as Maryland and Delaware. The Northern States of New York and New Jersey had slavery on the books until 1799 and 1804 respectively, well after the ratification of the US Constitution.
So we have the slave States at the time that the Constitution was under consideration by the several states:
Slave States:
Delaware, Georgia, Maryland, South Carolina, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York and Virginia. That makes eight states that had legal slavery on the books.
Free States:
Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island. That makes five States with no slavery.
Since the Constitution required that nine of the thirteen States ratifiy it to begin its authority, how would the Union have been formed in the first place if your strictures had been followed.?

Yes, Brownback announced that a day or two ago. Brownback dropped out of the race today. Follow that man, McCain.
1. To the Branch Davidians who were torched.
2. To the women, either fondled, abused, threatened, etc.
3. To all those who had their taxes raised by Clinton.
4. To the Cuban boy sent back to Castro.
5. To all those who went to prison on their behalf.
Basically, to all Americans. (Chelsea Clinton Included.)
We have Senators that own slaves? Interesting, I have seen nothing about this in the news.
1. The Republican Party was founded explicitly to prevent the expansion of slavery to new territories and implicitly to abolish slavery everywhere.
2. The Democrat Party and the KKK ended Reconstruction and implemented Jim Crow laws to oppress free blacks for 90 years.
3. The 1957 and 1960 Civil Rights Acts proposed by Republicans were stopped by Democrats; and
4. the 1964 Civil Rights Act was opposed by nearly half of the Democrat senators, while 80% of Republican senators voted for it.
Ordinarily, I would oppose someone apologizing for something caused by others, but in this case, if it serves to highlight the complicity and duplicity of Democrats, I say: have at it!
BUMP
