Members of DU, this is for you. If you care to learn something...some history, watch the video. If not, don't. However, if you watch it, and bring it up at the island, I assume, and suspect you're just going to call this guy a "HN" anyway. Cause you're losers.

Rev, it goes right over their pointy little heads. ::)

Brutally honest! :cheersmate:
I swear I think this guy was a fellow Army NCO at Ft. Gordon at one time, maybe in the 63rd. If not, he has a twin.

I love this man's main thrust of his message aimed at liberals, but it is painful to hear someone who, after drawing a conclusion from a movie, admonishes others to "pick up a history book" and get so many things wrong. There is no comparison to the War Between the States and the current political party's make up in the 21st century.
Reverend of Common Sense this man most definitely is, acquainted with factual history he is not.

Though many times, common sense doesn't need history to back it up.

You're kidding, right?

Simplistically...no. If one puts his/er hand over a burner that is on, one doesn't need to look through pics of burned hands to know what is going to happen. Common sense. The closer your hand gets, the hotter it gets. Correct?

Apples and oranges. If we were talking about the common sense of voting for who is going to take less from you vs who will use the government to tax you into oblivion, then I might agree.

H^5 for that find. Only problem with this mans rant is he misses one major point. The number of slaves that wanted freedom and road the underground railroad were far less then those slaves purposely kept at a 5 year old intellect.
Slaves were valuable, they were fed, housed, had medical care made no decisions on their own, some of the lucky ones were taught a trade, most however were field hands ,grown people in body but were no more capable of caring for themselves then any 5 year old set loose with no where to go.
Some went West only to be captured by the Indians and become their slaves married into the tribes and thrived.
Those that escaped the Indians became our western cowboys, twice as many of them then the white man that headed west at one time. The Tender Foots.
How the Hell the 1,000,000 in the north mid western states survived is a human testament to fortitude and Epic tale of survival. They had to make it on their own somehow and they now had schools for the next generation to become educated. To survive they worked together for the common good.
They were slowly climbing the ladder of society, doing quite well at it it, a few set backs, in the South with the Democratic party pushing for separate but equal, and the real douche bags that came in and roused up the population to suddenly decide that their right to sit at a counter in a restaurant was more important then their lives. The Democratic could not stop all the people to continue going up the ladder so they had to find a way to put them down.
Along comes LBJ with a better idea, find a way to make the next generation dependent on others, take away the spark of need to fend for themselves, take away their pride and sense of achievement, :rant: :rant
