    I have seen the slavery thing. But I’m sorry, the holocaust made Jews useful? Who said that and where? What the actual fuck?

    Hey Georgia! You’re seceding and you say “states’ rights” are the issue. What does “states rights” mean? Which “rights” are you fussing about?

    For the last ten years we have had numerous and serious causes of complaint against our non-slave-holding confederate States with reference to the subject of African slavery.

    Hey Mississippi, what is the Confederate cause about?

    Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery — the greatest material interest of the world.

    Hey Texas, you joined the Union recently; what were you looking for?

    [Texas] was received as a commonwealth holding, maintaining and protecting the institution known as negro slavery — the servitude of the African to the white race within her limits — a relation that had existed from the first settlement of her wilderness by the white race, and which her people intended should exist in all future time.

    Okay, we get it. You’re really into the slavery thing. Surely none of your descendants will deny that, right?

      Holy fuck Texas. It sounds like you’re claiming the people you enslave want to be enslaved forever and ever. I can’t even write the words without feeling dirty. Not even mississippi goes that far.

    That didn’t happen.
    And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
    And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
    And if it is, that’s not my fault.
    And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
    And if I did, you deserved it.

    I agree, but in regards to the post itself, and especially the deep breath bs, that’s exactly the type of shit redhats make fun of liberals for.

    This post isn’t going to convince anyone, it’s only going to solidify the feelings the redhats already have. It’s the same as “actually…” to them and it doesn’t matter what comes after, you’ve already lost them.
