See below, it applies to you.
YES!!!
It really dulls the cutting blades too!
Yeah... Like I said, you just lost any high ground position you might ever take on the benefits of freedom and liberty cause... ya know... slavery wasn't THAT bad and all.
:lol:
If you Can't Handle the Truth....................etc.
What's almost as funny is the woman occupying the WH, moaning about things that happened long ago. Not to unite us, mind you, but making sure to ram another wedge to further an agenda. Sadly, people applaud this behavior.
We should celebrate how far we have come. But that would mean that we have to admit that this U.S. of A is, after all, a great country, regardless of all the hatred that so many carefully nurse.
Is MO? Last time I checked, her parents were no were near a plantation. MO is now in the WH. That is how far we have come.
And don't assume to know the first thing about me. You could be very wrong. Assuming that someone must dwell on things that happened a long time ago, because of skin color, is highly suspect.
That was her exact point.
Her entire speech was about how far we've come and how great we are because of it. Your irrational hatred isn't letting you think clearly if you heard her speech and thought it was divisive.
Except she only thinks the country has been great for 8 years.
I guess Michelle Obama's mentioning of slaves building the White House has the Right Wing babbermouth is a tizzy. So much so that he decided to brag about slaves being well fed and housed.
You mean the ones they kidnapped from other tribes?
O' Reilly forgot to mention that those particular slaves were well fed, well housed and.... were probably also well paid. US slavery was not a monolithic system and slaves who were skilled tradesmen (I imagine that those building the White House fit this category well) were often allowed to take paying side jobs.
At the end of the day, skilled craftsmanship is a difficult to cultivate by pure force. Thus, the common incentive was that slaves who were also skilled craftsmen had the ability to work side jobs for cash, or if contracted to a project were tipped either directly or indirectly in cash. Skilled slaves also built a certain amount of Confederate armament. Though slaves, they were better paid than the CSA soldiers using it.
Sure. Skilled slaves were privileged, as compared to field hands, in that society.
He's a dumbass.
It's liberal typical. They have animosity already toward O'Reilly, Rush and others from the start, so they aren't going to really process the Truth of the statements!
Yes because those are such men of character...
They actually ...ARE! ...... and far better character than obama or the Clintons...Far, far, far better!!!!!!
"And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs,
using drugs, importing drugs. And the laws are good
because we know what happens to people in societies and
neighborhoods which become consumed by them. And so if
people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought
to be accused and they ought to be convicted and
they ought to be sent up."
"When you strip it all away, Jerry Garcia
(former Grateful Dead guitarist) destroyed his life on
drugs. And yet he's being honored, like some godlike
figure. Our priorities are out of whack, folks."

Rush Limpdick is a man of character? He's a drug addict. According to him he should be in jail.
And then there's those 4 marriages...
I can see why you would look up to him.
They used slaves because there was no other way to get labor.
It's hard to mix economics, ethics, and nation building in one tidy package.
I'm not justifying slavery, except to remind people that is was what was done back then. Labor was bought from those who sold it
What is the Agenda? Slavery bad? Is there anyone who actually disagree with that? Well expect O'reilly and whole, wing of the Republican Party!!!
OK...let me rephrase!...Is there anyone Sane who actually disagree with that?
Diving Mullah
so yeah you are
So YOUR truth is "freedom and liberty aren't that important... so long as masta is good to me."
:lamo
And you Can't Handle it, even thou it was 150 years ago....you have to make out like it's happening now.
Is slavery wrong now? Yes!
Was it back then? No!
It was Standard Operating Procedure .....mostly by Democrats!
These days we want to openly ban muslims, not blacks! Hooray!
If Trump's candidacy and the character of his supporters shows us anything, it's that we've hardly "come" anywhere.
Well Democrats have always been all about free food and housing. Now we know where it all started.
It's the lies they have trouble believing. Why liberals and others can't be more like you escapes me.
