Quote by: Chaossaber314  Then you disagree with the entire basis of this country as executed by the founding fathers from the beginning by allowing slavery as a lucrative and widely practiced institution maintained by many of these same founding fathers including Thomas Jefferson who wrote that line... well in the context of the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE and not the United State Constitution.
I wish more of you Libertarians would just come out and say that you disagree with the way this country has been run from the beginning, rather than trying to pretend you guys are champions of original intent, because quite frequently, and this instance is no exception, you continue to prove you have no clue what that intention(s) ever was. You're not even quoting the right document anymore. |
Actually, we just claim to think that the original intent was pure, and only pandering to the religious nut cases, and the monied interests to gain their support clouded the noblest of intentions.
I see this as one of the most vivid examples of the old cliche "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" philosophies as being demonstratedly proven false.
All they really got for their efforts, beside the support, was a clouding of some critical issues.
