re: #70 EPR-radar

What a steaming load of confederate apologist bullshit from De Mint. Let’s just take this line by line.

As made manifest in the Union armies that invaded the Confederacy after it started the civil war, and for 10+ years of military occupation and rule thereafter.

Constitution quote fail as noted above. More significantly, slavery was hardly a creation of the Dred Scott decision. People as property is an inherent feature of slavery, especially slavery as in the US.

Why is there a Southern Baptist Denomination? That right, the Baptists in the US split over the issue of slavery, just like most other denominations. People of faith were on both side of this issue, so I’ll be kind and score it neutrally, despite the inherent evil in the position that US slavery was ordained by a loving god.

Wouldn’t want to mention any of those nasty US abolitionists that said all kind of horrible things about the confederacy, so let’s go with a safe British example. +50 purity points.

A debate of this point is farcical. It is self evident that big Federal government freed the slaves.

More fail. Take it away Mr. Lincoln:

All very true, but do you think that matters to De Mint and others like him?

Sure what you posted makes historical sense and people that know it is true acknowledge that truth. But, we still have the bigger problem I wrote about in #56. They do not want the truth and they do not want to teach it.

So, all the complaining that we can muster does not seem to have a bearing. All the historical records, etc., they do not mean anything. As a matter of fact, they have gotten the group of people they want to control to deny real history by explaining you can’t trust those progressives and their teachings…only good ol’ time religion is the truth.

Look at some of the crap that Pie-onist’s posts from tweets, They have real history all mucked up and they don’t care to be told that they are wrong. Look at all the articles we link and page and share where there are outright falsehoods, and yet, very little correction and even if corrected, they go on thinking what they want or what they believe anyway.

Believe being the very key word. And facts are not necessary in their world, as they appear to think your (and I and everyone they mistrust) facts are tools of the devil. Historical facts? We can change them!
