Re: Happy Confederate History Month

The Civil War was caused by economics, with slavery being an issue inherent to the economic system that was in question. The whole US had been founded on slave labor, given that the European colonizers had always considered the losers of armed conflicts anywhere to be a good source of same. "R...

Yep. You moved to a state where your involvement and influence will mean nothing. Congrats. Sure it does. Things can change, and certainly the corrupt GOP in Tennessee may well turn people against them. But you don’t know, you’ve never been involved at all. You just bitch on the message board. I be...

Re: Racist/Corrupt/Immoral Police Thread.

The percentage of peaceful encounters is in the high 90’s so less than 10 percent involved the use of force. Of the encounters that required use of force, the majority of those were justified. In addition, of the encounters that involved force, many of those involved white people. The vast majority...

No it is pretty simple. Had we lost the revolution how would our Founding Fathers be treated in history books and based upon that what would you opinion of them be. We don't know, now, do we?
