“I’m an alligator
I’m a mama-papa comin’ for you
I’m the space invader
I’ll be a rock ‘n’ rollin’ bitch for you
Keep your mouth shut
you’re squawking like a pink monkey bird
And I’m bustin’ up my brains for the words”

Nice post.
“No amendment shall be made to the Constitution which will authorize or give to Congress the power to abolish or interfere, within any State, with the domestic institutions thereof, including that of persons held to labor or service by the laws of said State.”
In other words, the central government shall no longer have any authority to abolish or interfere in any States slavery laws. Simple. Sounds to me like a strong states-rights stance. There are those, (some on this thread) who in this year 2024 will bend, twist, spindle and mutilate that most basic statement and use it to prove that Lincoln, Republicans and the Union were promoting Slavery everywhere and forevermore. I put forth that they are part and parcel to the very people who have contributed to bringing our country to its knees today, by tarnishing our heritage.
Best laugh I’ve had all day! Let’s just brush over the Declaration of Independence and Lexington and Concord and Bunker Hill, and Valley Forge, and Fort Ticonderoga and Washington crossing the Delaware, and, well, that whole Revolutionary War part!
“I see your hair is burning
Hills are filled with fire
If they say I never loved you
You know they are a liar
Driving down your freeways
Midnight alleys roam
Cops in cars, the topless bars……….”
