Christ on the cross.
Is there...can there...be anything more specious and deranged than arguing that the South was morally and legally correct in seceding?
Sure, I live in Kentucky, but you have to get out of Covington and Newport for find these folks-you know, the ones with the Cracker Swastika on the bumper of their trucks, the flag, and all that shit. I don't think I have to tell you that these folks would tend to be White Supremacists.
But we're not talking about knuckleheads in bomber jackets and white boot laces, or some semil literate fool in a sheet, but someone attempting a cogent thought on the pro of secession, featured on the Washington Post Website!
Via his vorpal sword.
If you take the time to read the Confederate states' declarations to leave the union, they make no bones that it was about slavery. I hate to bother these folk with primary sources.
ReplyDeleteIt's the same extreme ideological dodge, always-Why bother with the reality of something when you can just make it up?
ReplyDeleteIf you ever want an exercise in futility, for example, try tracking down the sources the someone like Coulter or Ben Shapiro-and they are liberal compared to this bunch.
