Completely false. Federal property is federal property. It did not revert to South Carolina. It was not their property to begin with. The southern states had no right to secede, but beyond that, the seizing of federal property was illegal and their armed resistance towards returning it was an issue of national security. What the South thought was irrelevant.
Again, these are two very different scenarios. How you do not see that is astonishing.
No, you have been thoroughly defeated, but on logic and on information. The fact that you refuse to admit this is either some false sense of bravado or truly not understanding the issue presented. Either way, you lose.
Jesus. I do not see why you would even fault Stalin, he too felt he was all knowing, could never be mistaken even when also shown the obvious error of his ways. Our Federal government is a servant to the states and to the people. People have to give their consent to be governed and have the full ability to withdraw that consent. If not we would still be ruled by the tyrant. This was shown to be precedent with the Declaration of Independence separating us permanently from Britain. How any Americans would not know that, or have so much lost sight of the fact, is indicative of something, nothing particularly good. It is what happens to the many, lost, just blindly following the leaders... that is what one would have to suppose.
Which takes us back to understanding why Tovarish could say he was proud of Stalin. Even if inadvertent, thanks for so circuitously substantiating my original point.
Like when it rains it pours, it seems here at DP when one is lost one is severely, possibly irretrievably, lost. I would suggest not planning too many chicken dinners with all those cracked eggs that you are counting way before they are supposed to hatch. Your arguments were DOA, nothing could revive those suckers. Talk about bravado, nice attempt at the all or nothing bluff.
You got nothing.
