Heritage Foundation head Heritager Jim DeMint took a crack at revisionist history last week on a Christian radio program, and delivered the somewhat surprising verdict that the federal government didn't play a role in freeing the slaves. Instead, what did it was both the Constitution and the "conscience of the American people," which will certainly make for some disappointing costumes at Civil War reenactments.
One could argue, and I've seen it done, that the ideals presented in the Declaration and the Constitution, if not always the complete text, have been a force animating various reform movements like abolition to MAKE America live up to those ideals. That, of course, is not what DeMint is arguing, so he's a cretin and a scoundrel.
sooooooo, let me get this straight. you&#039;re going to stop claiming the <strike>Civil War</strike> War of Northern Aggression was fought over state&#039;s rights? I mean how can the ebil Feds have <strike>kicked Confederate ass</strike>desecrated your sovereignty if they weren&#039;t even involved? Sumter just decided to bomb itself, because............underpants gnomes? Damn, we need Uncle Billy to come back and NOT burn a 60 mile wide swath through Georgia and SC again. Must have been CGI.
When Zombie Lincoln rises from the dead to avenge all of the revisionist libel, I think Mr. DerpMint&#039;s is the first head he severs, vampire or otherwise.
Abraham Lincoln? Oh, him ... OK, yeah, the dude who plays the sheriff on that zombie show on basic cable... You know who I mean, rite? Yah, that guy.
Not looking for brains, obvs.
He went from getting paid for being wrong . . . to being very well paid for being very wrong.
It&#039;s the pinochle of American excepsunulizm.

Lincolncare was a disaster. All those African-Americans suddenly on their own, without their Masters&#039; medical and dental care plans.

Well, there goes the majority of my university education.
And she spends less money. Can you imagine if Michelle spent money like Mary?
I told my students this theory. They laughed.
Didn&#039;t Jon Stewart tear this guy a new asshole on this subject a couple weeks ago?
&quot;It&#039;s Heritage, Not History!&quot;

Interesting. I guess I need to change today&#039;s lesson in my US History course. Oh wait, I use facts...
Who&#039;s the more derpish, the derp, or the derp who follows him?
Except for Jefferson. He was totally in bed with Big Slave.
I thought he was just a river in Egypt.
