Because radio was really popular during the Civil War.

Rand Paul just fired an aide who worked in radio during the Civil War. I read it on Daily KOS.

" ... on the Trayvon Martin shooting"

Home schooling is the ONLY way to go.

Start with teaching your children the FACTS that liberals despise.

Its like "Holy Water" against these "life-sucking", "life-destroying" vampires.

First show them that

"Fulton abandoned the kid when he was 3.
His step-mother brought him up.
The father moved on to woman 3.
12 years later she dumped him back on Fulton.

The step-mother said
he didn't use bad language when he was with her
so we can surmise he went wild with Fulton.
She identified his scream in court, but she had no way of knowing.
They pushed the step-mother into the shadows, the only real mother he ever knew."

Then show your children these links:

Trayvon should NOT have told George Zimmerman:
while trying to grab George Zimmerman’s gun ... saying, “tonight you die, ************”’
Trayvon should NOT have gone for George Zimmerman's handgun.

Trayvon should NOT have pinned George Zimmerman down on the ground.

Trayvon should NOT have broken George Zimmerman’s nose.

Trayvon should NOT have given George Zimmerman two black eyes.

Trayvon should NOT have repeatedly slammed George Zimmerman’s head on the pavement.

Trayvon should NOT have gotten suspended from school for possessing traces of marijuana.

Trayvon should NOT have stolen 12 pcs of ladies jewelry, and a man’s watch.

Trayvon should NOT have kept a flat head screwdriver described as “a burglary tool”, in his backpack.

Trayvon should NOT have had a criminal past of theft, hiding and acting suspicious.

Trayvon should NOT have encouraged ... fellow thugs to commit murder with the tweet, “Plzz shoot da #mf dat lied 2 u!”.




Trayvon should NOT have had a police record FOIA Sunlight And More Trayvon Martin Police Records.

Trayvon should NOT have had Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin for parents, who didn't discipline their unruly son, when he needed it.
Then they refused to admit to themselves, at each step along the way toward this disaster, that their son, Trayvon Martin, had a real problem and needed professional help!

Had the situation been handled different by Trayvon Martin, he might still be alive.
For instance, what if it had gone like null and void suggested ?



TRAYVON MARTIN: - Hey, are you following me?

GEORGE ZIMMERMAN: - Ummm, yes.

TRAYVON MARTIN: - May I ask why?

GEORGE ZIMMERMAN: - Well, uh, we've had a number off robberies in this neighborhood lately, and I don't recognize you...

TRAYVON MARTIN: - Oh, well, I'm Travon Martin, I'm spending the summer at my uncle's in unit 12. I expect you'll see a lot of me this summer.

GEORGE ZIMMERMAN: - OK, thanks, good to know. I'm George Zimmerman, by the way.

They shake hands.



TRAYVON MARTIN: - No, thank you for keeping an eye out for your neighbors!


But, NO !
It DID NOT go that way.

That should be a good start , and that should drive those VILE reporters and teachers into insanity.

I was so tempted last night at the library to make a remark.
Some obviously butch gal was talking to the librarian about getting her PHD, and her thesis was an analysis of a children’s book and its racist undertones and assumptions. The librarian said something like “I don’t see any racism in that”. And the lesbo said something like “oh, I do, I think it’s obvious.”

I was so tempted to chime in.
Hey! What a coincidence! I’m working on a paper analyzing the racism behind the word “the”!

[TexasCajun]

More personal attacks over on The Obama Channel.

[Resolute Conservative]

He did not make slavery a major point until he saw the north losing ground and he needed to gin up support. Then it became all about slavery.

[onedoug]

"Well, I'm a good ol' rebel, now that's just what I am...."

[Durus]

Let me see if I understand this...Rush Limbaugh is a republican firebrand. The republican party, the party of Lincoln, was formed to fight the concept of slavery. The Democrat party was the party of the confederacy, the founders of the KKK, and the people that created the Jim Crow laws. Somehow in this reporter’s deluded little mind this equates to Rush representing the confederacy?

[Venturer]

It seems like every day we hear from another Professor who wants to make a fool of himself.

No wonder our young people are mush headed Obama voters.
They have been brainwashed by dipsticks like this idiot.

The Civil War was over 148 years ago and these fools are still fighting it. The White man set the slaves free.

[demshateGod]

If only he were......

[TexasCajun]

Trayvon should not have been looking to get high.

The mixed drink combination known as "lean", is normally the color purple, due the added ingredient sizzurp, which is originally a dark purple syrup. There are other colors of sizzurp which can be added to create lean, but the purple is the true sizurp

[VRW Conspirator]

Warren, a Columbia professor and fellow at the progressive Roosevelt Institute, explained that Limbaugh...

And, Rush has often repeated that the Left will always tell you who they fear, Professor Warren.

[Yosemitest]

Trayvon should NOT have been CASING other houses to rob!

[Sherman Logan]

Secession was about slavery, period. The “states rights” meme was what the democrat aristocrats sold to the non-slave holding population to get them to fight for them.

Elaborated on greatly after the war, when defense of slavery wasn't considered a valid reason any longer even by those who led secession.

[OldNavyVet]

In a way, I'm glad that Chief Justice Roberts let ObamaCare ride on.

Roberts' reasoning was essentially that the Supreme Court doesn't make law.

And so, the Makers of the insidious law known as ObamaCare ... a Democrat President, a Democrat dominated Senate, and a Democrat dominated House should be ... will be forever responsible for the MESS they created.

[Ultra Sonic 007]

There was a particular book in my US History I class (going from the pre-colonial days to Reconstruction) that was part of our syllabus; it was essentially a compendium of letters by Southern politicians in the lead-up to the Civil War.

I wish I could remember the title, but the dominant focus of these letters was about slavery. It was actually quite jarring how much of a focus it was.

[SECURE AMERICA]

Rush Limbaugh would have sided with the confederacy during the Civil War, according to MSNBC analyst Dorian Warren.

Do not know Mr Limbaugh but I am pretty sure he never has been a Democrat.....

[Ohioan]

I believe that Rush is from Missouri, and while Missouri did not secede, a great many Missourians, including Harry Truman's mom, were pro-Confederacy.

That said, the best historic representation of Obama's mob utilization's tactics would be Ernst Roehm's Brown Shirts, who won the war in the streets, that helped bring Hitler to power. (Doubtless, Roehm would have been a hero to Obama--judging from some of his recent celebrations.)

“Elaborated on greatly after the war, when defense of slavery wasn’t considered a valid reason any longer even by those who led secession.”

They had to have some valid reason to justify the insanity they brought to the people of the South. Their “states rights” justification was nothing more than a statement of states right to hold slaves, which Lincoln had offered them before real hostilities even began. Sounds like the Palestinian Authority today and the way they turn down peace offers that give them everything they asked for.

Another poster on another thread was correct; slavery in the South was individual instances of communism with the slaves doing the work and the owners getting rich. The democrat party is now moving to make all working american taxpayers slaves while they and their special interests get all of the benefits.

The war was not fought to free the slaves. The war was fought to prevent secession. The South was angry that the North did not return run-away slaves so southern states started to secede. This was 1861. The emancipation proclamation was in 1863.
