The left certainly supports the wholesale slaughter of unborn Americans, and ha not, itself, been slaughtered in the streets for this murderous attitude, YET. The reason, of course, is because it is generally believed in America that the liberal slaughter is due to an error by the Supreme Court, that will someday be corrected, and that the correction will be made before the lack of same renders that institution completely powerless in our system. I too have no doubt that Roe v Wade will be reversed eventually, and thereafter viewed as infamous-as Dredd Scott is today. Well this same legitimate course of corrective action would be due to correct reparations. If Americans think not, then America is already finished. It is just a matter of time. But there WAS a Civil War once, and you cannot responsibly assume that such an event is thus impossible. No one said it is impossible. But the Civil War and the SCOTUS settled the issue of whether some Americans have the right to break Article I: Section 10 of the Constitution and wholesale destroy our American contract merely because a legitimate legal process fails to satisfy them. There are legitimate ways to address grievances and murdering innocent people is not one of them. If reparations will cause white Americans to resort to this sort of overt savagery, then America’s problem is not reparations at all, but it is much worse than this. I am claiming that if the barbarism that once threatened America in 1860 yet exists today and is ever put into practice, America will cease to exist because the world is quite a bit different today than in 1860. Increasing numbers of countries and stateless terrorists are struggling for nukes and other apocalyptic weaponry. It is a mere matter of time before they get them. When they do, no amount of technology or anything else will help you, and with a hostile population of minorities and even some whites whose very lives are being significantly threatened by a thuggish white contingent, America is just begging to be choked to death by crime from people who will increasingly give less than a damn about her. Even should you succeed in exterminating these people, to do so your rights and freedoms will vanish into history – that is, if you survive. It will not be as antiseptic an enterprise as you imply. After this holocaust you “predict” takes place, America will be worthless for ten thousand years. The reparations issue pushes us in that direction. You have the RIGHT to be a fool-why exercise it? Because if championing reparations means I am being a fool I yet have the right to do it, and American law is very clear that my right to life and liberty should not be threatened merely should I exercise the right to be such a fool. I have the right to be a fool, but you do not have the right to be such a damned savage that you literally aim to murder me because I am pressing for ideas you dislike. That is sick and if you really think this is the state of America I suggest you concern yourself with it because reparations ain’ squat compared with our real trouble.
