It’s funny Conservatives today think back to slavery as if they would have been on the abolitionist side. The abolitionist movement was mostly among liberals, academics, Northerners, urbanites, and racial minorities. The pro-slavery movement was strongest among conservatives, states-rightsers, advocates of small government, the ownership class of the south, rural people, and whites. The parties swapped positions over time such that Republicans came to represent those latter factions. But it’s clear who the true ideological heirs of people like Lincoln are.
 
its sort of sad that you are stupid enough to pretend we wouldn't........

I've read well. I know what the pro-slavery forces sounded like in their writings, at the time. I known the way they'd sanctimoniously speak of the nobility of the South and the tyranny of big government, how they'd complain about the federal government infringing on state and local prerogatives, how they'd romanticize rural life, how they'd speak of preserving white culture, how they'd demonize northerners, minorities, liberals, and urbanites, how they'd drum up fear about black violence, how they'd dismiss the civil rights concerns of the abolitionists as just a cynical political strategy for trying to add black people to their political might, etc. There's nothing new under the sun. The people who fought to preserve and expand slavery are of a type with people who are around even today. You can see their ideological kinship in their shared geography and demographics, their shared rhetorical flourishes, and even in the way those of today embrace the iconography and heroes of their ideological forebears, right down to flying their flags and sanctifying their statutes. There's no honest question about which side most of the conservatives of today would be on, if they'd been born into a time when slavery was still an issue that cleaved the nation down the middle.

You forgot deeply religious people.

There were deeply religious people on both sides. Religion is effectively a Rorschach test: a meaningless and random thing, in which you'll see whatever you brought to it. So, there were good people (most in the North) who read the Bible as an affirmation of the fundamental humanity of enslaved people, and took inspiration from that to work for abolition. And there were bad people (most in the South) who read the Bible (which expressly affirmed slavery again and again), and saw that as proof that it was part of God's plan that some people be enslaved to others, and so they attacked those who would disrupt that "divine order."

Well, I don't tend to look at people who are burning in hell as deeply religious. :cof1:
 
Smearing is bad, hearing is good. Your side doesn't want a hearing, they care not about a smearing.

Get on board with your program.
 
The duties in the Constitution aren’t framed with the word “required.” Not to worry —if Democrats had pulled that stunt, you’d spot the betrayal of their duty to fulfill their senatorial responsibilities.

If is a weak sauce argument. But then, liberals define incivility, immorality and ignorance.

Ironic coming from a brain dead hyper partisan asshat who supports the smearing of Kavanaugh. But then, you're also pathological in your lying so ignorance like this is to be expected.
 
And yet; the one who kept the notes in that session, has said that she never mentioned Kavanaugh.

God, you're stupid. It's effing unbelievable. She had two therapists, a couples and an individual.

"After Ford disclosed the incident in session, she told her husband the full story and processed the event with her individual therapist the following year."

does the therapist confirm the truth of your wild claims...

You didn't answer the question(s), so are you able to clarify what you were referring to??

And she has no proof, beyond what she said it is.
