dodge, evade the question. whatever. you know you'd choose the shittiest family ever if the alternative was to live as a slave.just as this post is irrelevant. we dont know, we only know some of the horror stories and some of the positive stories. i am not saying anything as to the validity of her statement, only that it is totaly irrelevant.
slavery was a worldwide pox on all peoples houses. currently its still a plague on certain black african society and arabic society. they are the only two who still currently own slaves.
and if you read and follow the forefathers words, they clearly were looking to eventualy try to elliminate the practice. many said it was an abominal practice. basically it was a black and white christian movement that lead the charge to abolish it.
but as i will say again, it has no relavence to the discussion in todays terms. but the social programs of the sixties should be front and center argument and i think conservatives could make a very good argument and win the issue
and as far as 'the social programs of the sixties', by which i can only assume you mean civil rights, then dream on. ron paul caught heat about that in 2008 and sounded nuttier than a squirrel turd trying to rationalize why he would oppose civil rights.
