That sounds like a joke in poor taste nothing more.

I honestly don’t understand Zo’s overreaction. He is of course right that slavery was exactly what the Government offers with shelter and food at the compelled cost of liberty.

Such is an evil practice regardless of what does it, as it is forced upon the individuals with which it involves.

That being said I can never again be an advocate of Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln may not have believed in the private institution of slavery(A lot of people north and south, prior and certainly after didn’t). But his defining action was not the ending of that institution but rather the ending of the consent of the Governed among theses united States.

That of course opened the door for anther kind of slavery otherwise implicit in the very nature of Government without the consent of the Governed.

It is for that simple reason that I can never again embrace Abraham Lincoln, not because I support slavery but because I am in the strongest of terms against it in all its forms.

check post 3. I understand Zo’s frustration and i may have reacted the same way as zo knowing who the guy was. this wasnt an overreaction. this was a white nationalist from stormfront getting in front of cameras telling african americans they should thank people for slavery and segregation is good. if the cameras weren’t on I would probably have grabbed him by his belt loops and thrown him out of the place and told him to get back to the teddy kennedy demokkkrat party
