heh, Ford
yuo're right about the 'old skool libs' like Wilson blah who took us into WW2. Like i said, at the time of posting, i was tired and half drunk blah. I was also feeling a little ratty having just watched a movie featuring that traitorous skank Jane Fonda aka Hanoi Jane
but there was an anti-war view coming from the veiny drifter cock libs who didn't want us to get involved because "there was no clear and present danger blah" and yeah, the right wing tards were arguing that "one drop of American blood is worth more than all the Eurosavages combined", just like what's happening now in regard to Iraq
and yuo certainly know yuor sh!t about the American Civil war. Abe Lincoln WAS a racist, and yes, like ANY war, economic issues were a factor (tariffs, the Bank of the U.S., internal improvements blah) but they never directly triggered the civil war. Nor did the explosive issue of states rights. Civil war only came about when the issue of slavery became an intractable problem
look at all of the states that seceded, and their documented reasons for secession. They wanted to secede to protect slavery
but i agree that Lincoln went to war as a last resort to prevent them from seceding, and not because the abolition of slavery was his primary concern. But slavery was THE issue on which the southern states were refusing to accept the authority of Congress
so in that sense it was about slavery, however, the war wasn't to free the slaves. Abe would have allowed slavery to continue in the south if they'd have accepted modifications, but the south wouldn't budge
anyways ford, we seem to be in complete agreement that ALL govts PAST AND PRESENT, of WHATEVER political persuasion (dem / repub / commie / blah ) of WHATEVER nationality, decide policy, for the most part, out of self interest
QUESTION FOR LIBS #25443
now that we've established that Bush's, sorry i mean Lincoln
motives for going to war were not 100% pure as snow, the war which led to the abolition of slavery was totally unjustified, right? and if yuo had been posting on message boards at the time, yuo would have opposed it
right?
DIDN'T THINK SO
