Well, Sidney, I see that hatred of George Bush seems to be rampant here. I cannot understand this. However, I respect your thoughts on this, and apparently you have put some time and effort into it.
The civil war, interesting you bring it up. My mother's side
of the family were active in the confederate army in Missouri for nearly four years. They had no slaves. They just loved
Kentucky, which was the parents home. So they fought the Union.
I love the confederate flag. I feel that without the prairie with its Christian settlers and the cowboys, and the anti-bellum south, American history is just more history of horrow in big cities with too much poverty. The best of America probably came out of the southern roots and the prairie Christians. Many, many of which came to America as slaves of other white people. It was called endentured servitude.
That one doesn't get much press, for sure.
There was not one American citizen mentioned in history I can find who ever sailed to Africa to get slaves for themselves or to sell them. They were all brought here by the portugese and other nationalities who had been slaving one people or another since the beginning of time.
Slavery has been a backbone of the human drama. Today it flourishes as the "Sex Trade." All very young boys and girls of all descriptions, from tens of tens of countries.
That is ignored, while hundreds of cubic feet of press space is taken up with various blacks demanding "reparations" for 400 years ago.
Madness.
That one doesn't get much press either.
Anyway, there is so much to gripe about and blow the whistle on that if we were all to type night and day until we died, we would barely touch the snow on the top of the iceberg.
But the only truth I do know is that without Jesus the earth a scary place. Getting scarier. |
