I remember the Catholic Church for turning their back on the Jews when the Germans came for them.....I just think we must accept the good with the very bad and not try to justify it or run away from it..<br />One poster was saying the north attacked us...I said "whoa,I 'm a United States citizen first,Texan second."<br /><br />You have a good grasp of what happened,that's not surprising, but unfortunately a lot of people don't......A lot of people are trying to rewrite history without resources.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02668070524354374505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674561724432497133.post-67610988919281287692011-12-03T22:30:16.109-06:002011-12-03T22:30:16.109-06:00I'm not buying that every southerner who fough...I'm not buying that every southerner who fought was fighting for slavery.

Those at the top are the ones who fund and have influence. The average person just tries to defend their home - hopes their children don't get killed.<br /><br />Most people were victims of their geography. <br /><br />What percentage of the population actually had slaves? Who were the people who were benefiting financially and had something to lose if they couldn't have slave labor? The same type of people who benefited from using children as slaves in factories. <br /><br />Those are the people who pit average person against average person and make them fight their wars. <br /><br />But people still gripe about "communism" without thinking about how evil "capitalism" can be.<br /><br />No sources!

That's like me complaining about someone writing a Republican blog. Different points of views should be encouraged and not a reason to censor just because some think it leads to rowdy discussions.<br /><br />IMO,posters that do not come prepared to discuss a controversial with generally accepted facts or links to support their case are the reasons the discussion gets out of hand. The ones that can't make a case with their personal stories,they usually turn to name calling.<br /><br />I will never apoligize for chiding someone for posting outright lies such as saying this president's DADT policy will encourage our soldiers to engage in sex with animals...That's not only stupid, it's a bald face lie.

He tried to say that slaves fought for the south but we looked it up...I believe there were ~250,000 slaves that fought for the north or about 9% of the fighting force.

Now he's blaming the posters who protested the contents of his blog for the trash he submitted and vowed to never post a political blog...We'll see how long that lasts because he doesn't get it.<br /><br />Post all the negative things about liberals, Democrats and Obama but don't tie them to hideous acts that are false because that belittles our forum even more. <br /><br />He will get his defenders because they don't care about the facts;they just want the fight.<br /><br />I wonder if the Advocate would have let his blog stand if Alton would not have voluntarily pulled it.
