Political Hippo Circle Jerk - America, farg YEAH!

[ice grillin you]

so instead of ammending the constitution to abolish slavery...they ammended it so that not only could they physically abuse slaves but they could now use them politically and as a way to gain power

what humanists

[Butchers Bill]

Show me how its unconstitutional.  The constitution was purposefully made vague with lots of room for interpretations and this law would fall well within its boundaries. 

Re-read article 1 section 8 and the tenth amendment.

Maybe we should instead agree that idolizing or demonizing a group of people from a completely different time, using current moral/ethical norms, is farging retarded.
