It is an ugly slogan that is indeed used by Muslims when they are carrying out violence, whether it be in jihad or in sawing off the heads of helpless captives. My description of it as a war cry it therefore both apt and accurate.Stogiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05852841950131130696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22117033.post-67910809897600216882011-12-11T08:56:50.962-08:002011-12-11T08:56:50.962-08:00Black Sheep, slavery in America had been in existe...Black Sheep, slavery in America had been in existence for 200 years when the Civil War broke out, and it was not a Southern institution but an American one. Of the original 13 colonies, all but one were slave states. Slavery and secession are two separate issues, and the war was not fought either to eradicate or to preserve slavery. Your comment is based on the incorrect premise that the argument between North and South was whether or not the South had to give up its slaves. Not true.<br /><br />In order to eradicate slavery, it would have required (1) compensation paid to the slave owners and (2) resettlement of the former slaves throughout the Union where their labor could be utilized. There never was any such Northern plan or intent. The North had NO plan to eliminate slavery.Stogiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05852841950131130696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22117033.post-3635478019809916452011-12-11T02:38:07.782-08:002011-12-11T02:38:07.782-08:00One eye witness did say that the Hollywood shooter...One eye witness did say that the Hollywood shooter screamed, "Allahu akbar!"<br /><br />As for his name, he could have been a convert to Islam. Name means nothing: Muslim is not a race.<br /><br />As for Abraham Lincoln, clearly, he was a racist. He made such statements multiple times. When I point out those statements, my friends gasp because I've dispelled a myth. Lincoln has become nearly a god in the eyes of many, many people.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22117033.post-4788571582823377702011-12-10T19:47:50.385-08:002011-12-10T19:47:50.385-08:00The confederate flag is a symbol of liberty and a ...The confederate flag is a symbol of liberty and a failed attempt as sef-direction, after all, if Lincoln wanted to save the Union, what was the Union? Was it a land mass, was it the states, was it the people? It was an excuse to destroy the South just as subsequent governments destroyed the Indian. All in the name of increasing the tax basis and land mass of the US. This makes a symbol of freedom very difficult for the US to understand and worse to explain. They would have to accept the lie that they were the good guys. Then there is the little inconvient truth that Lincoln and those that followed fundamentally changed the government of the US so that we have no freedom left.david7134https://www.blogger.com/profile/09312542857203326560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22117033.post-55688121252475878062011-12-10T19:32:52.533-08:002011-12-10T19:32:52.533-08:00"Tyler Brehm, was shouting the Muslim war cry..."Tyler Brehm, was shouting the Muslim war cry "Alihu Akbar"<br /><br />Allahu Akbar literally translates to "God is great." It is used pretty much exactly the same way "Amen" is used in Christianity. It in no way is related to war and violence, let alone a "war cry." Hell, Christian Arabs also say "allahu akbar" because it's the wording in their language - not some scary ooga booga Muslim call to war.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22117033.post-53654912285471323952011-12-10T14:36:49.941-08:002011-12-10T14:36:49.941-08:00George Bush Junior, supposedly a conservative, was...George Bush Junior, supposedly a conservative, was a Liberal Lefty. Lincoln, supposed champion of the Negro, saw them as inferiors. For my money you can take Bush and Lincoln and flush them both down the Potomac.<br /><br />I don't know which aspects of the South you refer to as being right, but slavery wasn't one of them. That their plantation economy required it to survive is true, but that didn't make it right. Slavery has no place in any human society. Maybe that's why Muslims like it so much.<br /><br />Ultimately, true politicians will bend with the wind, and have no real moral standards or convictions of their own, regardless of the party they join. Expecting any of them to be decent people or do the right thing is for people who think that pigs really fly.<br /><br />Thanks for the visit.Black Sheephttp://www.newsbleat.comnoreply@blogger.com
