If we don’t take the Constitution seriously, we will be slaves.
150 years ago, a man from Illinois was elected President. He divided the country with a war, trashed the Constitution and freed the slaves.
Today we have a President from Illinois who wants a war to divide us, trashes the Constitution and wants to make slaves of us all.
I’d love to see a detailed list of the times Obama has ignored the US Constitution starting from his failure to provide proof of eligibility up to now with his Amnesty program.
I feel very much like a slave or a serf. The lords live in their castles up on the hills and I labor in the fields on their behalf. I have few rights or personal freedom. Much of my labor is stolen from me. This is much worse than what caused our Founding Fathers to rebel in 1775 -- yet we do nothing.
The cure for slavery is to take the Constitution seriously. But that would be an extremist position these days.
You nailed all three points, perfect.
Let's fix that.
I think you meant "A man from Mississippi was appointed President, divided the country with a war, trashed the Constitution, and couldn't prevent the slaves being freed."
Why you want to lead off discussion with something about half your audience would strongly object to is a mystery. Is putting down Lincoln and titillating a few Confederate die-hards worth antagonizing most of the country.
Is ironic that the first Black President made slaves of us all.
