The Urban Sombrero Wrote:Do you even remotely understand that many of the Founders had slave concubines, in addition to wives, while touting Christian virtue? That Jefferson, if a slave ran off, would hound heaven and earth to see them returned? Evidencing the same restless outrage I've seen in folks who've lost a weedeater to an out building thief? I have provided countless examples. You see as you see. I understand that. However, it is ridiculously disingenuous for you to act like you've gone unanswered. Egalitarian principle, liberty of conscience, these were concepts deeply valued by Roger Williams, by Ben Franklin, by John Quincy Adams, et al. "No, no, you say, these specific words were never uttered." All human beings not granted inalienable rights (life, liberty, pursuit of happiness) but born with them; we the people, all people, set to establish justice for all, yet you say "no, no, those exact words." We, in my view, should aspire to the highest, most inclusive interpretation of these principles possible, honoring them in folks with whom we disagree philosophically and morally, because this nation is strong enough to be one nation without being one big block of homogeneity. Somehow, you view that as being a threat to this nation. No, TRT, you err in your diagnosis and your accusation, both which serve to flatter your own elevated notions of your own pedigree.
And again, the loop train makes it's stop at Circleville Station. I understand today's human trafficking market is far more prolific than it was in the 17th and 18th centuries of which you have been taken captive, I can tell you that. And not that you'd have the first clue as to the state of affairs at the Jefferson household, but you would see this land reduced to irrelevancy over alleged sins of the past. What about today's slave trade? Passing judgment and sentence on modern society for something that happened centuries past is beyond asinine. Why not advocate for the victims of our time and work up those 'feelings' about them?
From Hillary to George Soros, in you the left have found a defender until death do you part. Slaves throughout history have been the victims of those they trust, exploited by their own people for money. Not Thomas Jefferson
