re: #532 HappyWarrior

I don’t know of anyone who “blames” America for slavery but I know a lot of people who correctly point out that we have all these beautiful words about freedom and liberty by our founders in our founding documents and their rhetoric and yet slavery was not abolished until some 70+ years after the Constiuttion was ratified. That’s a fair gripe. It’s part of our history and it’s too bad that Rush Limbaugh’s bastard son and Phyillis “I made my life outside the home bitching about women outside the home” Schalfy can’t deal with that. Contradictions are part of history too.

Wouldn’t their argument be the perfect example of “straw man”?
