I do most of what you mentioned, other than calling my congress critter - not worth the time ...

This country would have been a lot better off if the “rebels had won.

Ah, but for Hooker zigging when he should have zagged and a few more company's of fighting men at Little Round Top. History turns quite often in a span of inches or mere moments.

The Sixteenth Amendment was never ratified either, and yet we have the IRS.

Yea well the federal reserves 99 year charter was up last year and there still steal everything they can.

I’m white and I picked more cotton than I ever wanted to. So there were plenty of whites willing to do it. I chopped cotton, too. Never had to pull indigo, though.

And by the way, the blacks got paid the same as whites. In the sixties the pay was $3.00 per hundred pounds.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Good thing we live in a country that believes in the rule of law.

[Controlling Legal Authority]

I must disagree with you on your first point.

[Texas Mulerider]

Well, duh. Would you allow John Walker Lindh to vote of hold office? Well, our ancestors felt the same way about "citizens" who take up arms against their country.

I just had a flashback to the days of former Freeper Non-Sequitor.

A lot of people don’t realize some slaves were paid back in the old South, and some of those saved up and bought their own freedom.

There is No "Fourteenth Amendment

True, but even if it were, it was never meant to have perpetual operation. It was simply a one-time naturalization Act for the freed slaves.

If it had been intended as such to be one of permanent operation, Congress would not have passed Bills like this:

December 9, 1872
42nd Congress, 3rd session
HR3059 By Mr. Young:

A Bill To relieve citizens of the United States from all disabilities imposed by the fourteenth amendment of the Constitution of the United States.
That all disabilities imposed by the fourteenth amendment of the Constitution of the United States be, and they are hereby, removed.

That's right, boys and girls, the government has been systematically turning us into a socialist country by mandating 'equality' based on a part of the Constitution that currently has no more legal operation than the 'grandfather' clause does!

[Sequoyah101]

It sure has caused a lot of hell to not exist.

[LegendHasIt]

1760s to mid 1860s is what I was writing about, as far as cotton pickin’ goes. It became a moot point in 1865.

[LegendHasIt]

Thanks.
I can’t take credit for the first part.
An old time CIA guy told it to me.
I just added the second part.

[eyeamok]

and let’s not forget the missing 13th amendment

For later study......(sounds rather strange.)

Wow - the whole system is built on a lie ...
