I did not find them "distasteful" -- only erroneous. What you fail to grasp is that I am neither of the "right" nor the "left" -- nor anywhere in-between. I find those labels highly misleading and a perfect example of media and political doublespeak almost lifted en toto from the pages of George Orwell's 1984.

The exclusion of blacks was done at the insistence of politically powerful Christian churches. Quite a number of the Founding Fathers -- even those who kept slaves themselves -- were inclined to abolish the practice of slavery in order to form a truly free nation. Their humanity and principles were subverted by the Christian churches -- among the strongest those in Virginia -- through blackmail and threats.

The tragedy is they succumbed.
