I can't believe cawako posted this load of liberal crap! Are you Establishment Elitists so stupid you don't realize what the left is doing here? Everyone who isn't a liberal ass sucker 'moderate' with an (R) beside their name, is going to be targeted by the left, and have their intellect called into question. Mitt Romney won't, because that's who the liberals hope we will nominate! Someone they can cajole and coax into going along with liberal stupidity, in the name of 'bipartisanship', you see... People like Bauchmann and Palin, well, they are just too stupid to ever be considered for the office of president... we need a moderate like Romney, who is smart enough to realize liberalism ain't all that bad!
Half of what this clown wrote, is just plain mischaracterization of what she said, or at least, out of context with the points she was making. Many of the Founding Fathers DID fight to abolish slavery, they carefully worded a Constitution to support such a movement in the future. Frederick Douglass initially felt the Constitution was a "white man's creed" designed to keep blacks enslaved and beholden to their masters... until he READ it! After actually READING the document, Douglass realized the Constitution was the pathway to freedom for blacks, that it was actually an ANTI-slavery document!
Much is made of the 3/5 clause, but that was something northern, (mostly anti-slavery) politico's demanded, not out of disregard for the worth of a black person, but out of their own desire to control political power. People ACT like it was something deplorable, that Southerners forced them all to consider black people as 3/5 of a human, but this was actually the idea of the other side, the anti-slavery NORTH did not wish to count blacks as whole people! There is enough guilt and blame to go around, when it comes to slavery and how white politicians (both sides) treated black people.
