Thread: Black History Month

If our country didn't fight itself, we would still have slavery and indentured servants.

If our colonies hadn't fought England, we would be part of Great Britain.

If women hadn't fought men, I wouldn't be able to vote or own property that I control.

The 13th Amendment was passed and ratified the year the war ended in 1865, and the 14th Amendment also passed in 1865 was ratified in 1868 and the 15th Amendment was passed in 1866 and ratified in 1870. That's pretty damn quick if you ask me considering all Democrats opposed them all. We owe those Amendments to Republicans, and the 14th and 15th especially to the Radical Republicans, what a bunch of heroes those men were. To this day, those men make me so proud to be a Republican, as do the 2,000,000 mostly Republicans who volunteered to join the Union Army to give their own lives to end slavery in the US. Democrats have lied for over 150 years about those soldiers, teaching that they were drafted. No they were not drafted, they were volunteers. One summer, about 90 days, there was shortage of soldiers in New York and 48,000 additional soldiers were recruited through a draft, but as soon as the shortage was filled, less than 90 days later, the draft was ended. It was also a peculiar draft, if you got the draft notice, you could pay someone to take your spot.

The United States is the only country in world history to end slavery with a civil war, because the character of the American people is the only character in world history that would lead young men off farms, away from their families and businesses to face a horrible bloody war to defend the rights of people they didn't even know, had never met, in lots of cases ever seen, and would never know them or even thank them. It was the most selfless action by one group of people for the benefit of another in the history of the world.

To think our country wasn't made right, is mistaken. We were made exactly right, by the character of our citizens who would readily give their lives to correct a wrong.

To put it into perspective, 2,048,000 Americans fought the bloodiest war with the greatest number of casualties in the history of our nation, freed 4 million slaves in the South, restored order, managed a reconstruction, passed the US Civil Rights Act of 1866, passed and ratified 3 Constitutional Amendments, and saved our nation by readmitting the Confederate States to our Union in 9 years.

Compare that to today .... where we can't even pass an E-Verify law in over 12 years.

Our best hope for our country is to be half as good as the people who founded this nation, who fought and won the Civil War, and the 12 million Americans who fought and won WWII in 3 years and 8 months.

So, to me, any of us walking around our land today, should have only the highest possible regard for the people who founded this great nation, fought the bloodiest war in our history to deliver the full promise of freedom, and defended our country against the Germans and Japanese.

You have to fight to make things right. You have to stand up. You may lose the fight, but you will never win without trying.

Humans are not perfect. So, countries aren't perfect. We are all sinners, right? Which is why Jesus said, judge not lest ye be judged.

There is a time and place for all things.

Right now in the United States, the American People are very busy fixing our country, and so far, I think we're doing a really great job!!!

And as soon as we get rid of at least 10 DemoQuacks in the US Senate and replace them with Real Republicans, you can watch US soar.
