It's naive and silly crap like this that makes us lose.
"Look, I'm not racist! Here's proof!
And then a long boring diatribe about American history and the Civil War.
Yes, you are factually correct. You know your history. You have presented a logical and well written argument.
And..... A Liberal woudld destroy you in 2 seconds with 2 words...... "You're Racist"
This stuff doesn't work anymore. Most people in this country not only don't know ANYTHING about history or the Civil War, they can't even spell the words "civil" or "war."
Oh, I think quite a few could spell war, spelling civil might well prove to be too much for them though and defining civil would almost certainly be beyond the abilities of most. As for naming the starting year and the ending year that is something only a very tiny percentage are capable of and the majority can not even name the century. There is one thing the left has done with an efficiency that few could imagine and that is the dumbing down of the average American.
