re: #387 Blind Frog Ebola White

Oh, I’ve seen that line of argument - that the Constitution doesn’t allow Slavery, and if you think it does, you’re mistaken. My response was, “Then why did we need to amend the Constitution to outlaw Slavery?”

But beyond that, how is it that the people who WROTE the goddam thing, and who owned slaves - and continued owning them after ratification - wrote something which did not permit slavery? In what universe does that make any damned sense?

I loved that “scholar” Michelle Bachmann telling us that the Founders intended to abolish slavery. Or the other good one that “Christians” ended slavery. Plenty of Christians fighting to keep it too. Lincoln for that matter was very non religious by that day’s standards.
