20% of Trump Supporters "disapprove of Lincoln freeing the slaves"

Actually, Gore did say that:

Al Gore: "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet."

Which is true he did support the legislation that created it. What he didn't say was he invented it. Sarah claimed that her state's proximity to Russia gave her insights into foreign policy.

Spin, spin, spin.

"During my service in the United States Congress, ... I... took the initiative in ... creating ... the Internet."

Highlighted the words you missed in that short sentence the first time.

BTW, the creator of the internet didn't know he meant he created the web, not the internet. the Internet has been around since the 1960s. It was the web that was created in the 90s

You can tap dance all you want he never claimed he invented the internet. You're just a right wing parroting sheeple. Networking of computers has been around since ArpaNet, but not global system on an interconnected network.

I'm right wing, wow, the wit on you, you go girl.

He said "I" (Al Gore) "created the Internet." What about that don't you understand?

"During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system."

Although Vice-President Gore's phrasing might have been a bit clumsy (and perhaps self-serving), he was not claiming that he "invented" the Internet in the sense of having designed or implemented it, but rather that he was responsible, in an economic and legislative sense, for fostering the development the technology that we now know as the Internet. To claim that Gore was seriously trying to take credit for the "invention" of the Internet is, frankly, just silly political posturing that arose out of a close presidential campaign. Gore never used the word "invent," and the words "create" and "invent" have distinctly different meanings: the former is used in the sense of "to bring about" or "to bring into existence" while the latter is generally used to signify the first instance of someone's thinking up or implementing an idea.

Internet of Lies

He said "I" meaning he personally did it, not Congress, and he said he "created" it. What the hell do you think it means to create something?

Your lame deflection that created doesn't mean invented sounds good to you? Really?
 
Liberal Slave owning Democrats

Nope. No such thing. The newly formed Republican party were the liberals of the day.

it was the Democrats Liberal interpretation of the Constitution that allowed slavery. The fairy tale of switching sides is a Democratic party lie.

Hahahaha Black is white, good is evil and up is down too.

You've provided zero evidence the KKK were "conservatives." They wanted government to enslave people, nothing conservative about that. In fact it's you people who fight today to be enslaved by government. The KKK still sounds like your lot

I guess you need proof that water is wet too?

But the GOP regularly, routinely, and with a straight face makes that claim. One Republican recently confronted me and stated the following:

“It was Republicans who beat Democrats in the Civil War, thus freeing the slaves. It was Democrats who started the KKK as its military wing to intimidate the (largely black) Republican party, who were running the south after the war. Can a leopard change its spots?? Are the Democrats now the party FOR the black people after being against them for so long? So many of you are duped by the Devil’s trickery. A few table scraps from massa’s table and you run right back to his side. The Democrat is the racist.”

The above assertion is a prime example of how many Republicans can take a kernel of truth and create a banquet of lies. The truth is, Abraham Lincoln was a Republican, and so was Frederick Douglass and Dr. Martin Luther King. But since the Civil War the Republican and Democratic parties have completely changed their relative political positions, so relative to political philosophy, the modern Republican party bears absolutely no relationship to its predecessor.

Prior to the Civil War the Republican Party was made up of big business interests and Northern aristocrats, and the Democratic Party was made up of Dixiecratics and Southern agrarian interests–farmers and slave owners. Thus, the Republicans were progressive liberals and the Democrats (or Dixiecrats) were Southern conservative slave owners.

But that began to change during the Great Depression when Democratic President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, ......

Spin, spin, spin, they were Democrats. That we know. What is your evidence they were 'conservative'? ...

Could be because they themselves called themselves conservatives.

Parties change. Idealogies do not.

The antebellum southern states routinely lambasted the north for what they saw were liberal leanings - they called them "licentious," "free-loving" and even going so far as to call northerners socialists and communists. Sound familiar?

I live in the South for the second time. And the racists are heavily vocal Democrats. You assuming they are "Republicans" is very much in doubt. Saying Republicans are the racists is saying water is wet is only inherently true to pure Democrat partisan bitches.

And there is nothing about fiscally smaller government that is "racist." There is no reason to just make the assumption they all went Republican at all. Well, one reason, that I just mentioned

Ok, I read it, where does it say anything about Trump Supporters? That was a question for ALL respondents.

Congrats...you were fooled again by a bullshit liberal propaganda site.

Good job.

What you have to remember here, if you understand how such things work, is that they release the list of statistics. Some of the statistics are "which person would you vote for in the primaries", others ask other questions.

Been had? No

They sourced the NYTimes page

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/25/u...rters-for-intolerance.html?smid=tw-share&_r=0

"Nationally, the YouGov data show a similar trend: Nearly 20 percent of Mr. Trump’s voters disagreed with Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, which freed slaves in the Southern states during the Civil War. Only 5 percent of Mr. Rubio’s voters share this view."

Hmmm....

You Gov poll was not based on Trump supporters. I already blew that away.

Correct. The voters turned the South red.
 
One of the most startling omissions in the tracking of the history of slavery in America is leaving out the financial empires of the shipping barons of the New England who bought, shipped and traded the slaves.

No one wants to seem to talk about the obvious. That the New England ships brought the slaves to the new world and distributed them for great profit. The North as holier than thou?

Kiss my ass.

"On the eve of the Revolution, the slave trade �formed the very basis of the economic life of New England.�

It wove itself into the entire regional economy of New England. The Massachusetts slave trade gave work to coopers, tanners, sailmakers, and ropemakers. Countless agents, insurers, lawyers, clerks, and scriveners handled the paperwork for slave merchants. Upper New England loggers, Grand Banks fishermen, and livestock farmers provided the raw materials shipped to the West Indies on that leg of the slave trade.

Colonial newspapers drew much of their income from advertisements of slaves for sale or hire. New England-made rum, trinkets, and bar iron were exchanged for slaves. When the British in 1763 proposed a tax on sugar and molasses, Massachusetts merchants pointed out that these were staples of the slave trade, and the loss of that would throw 5,000 seamen out of work in the colony and idle almost 700 ships.

The connection between molasses and the slave trade was rum. Millions of gallons of cheap rum, manufactured in New England, went to Africa and bought black people. Tiny Rhode Island had more than 30 distilleries, 22 of them in Newport. In Massachusetts, 63 distilleries produced 2.7 million gallons of rum in 1774.

Some was for local use: rum was ubiquitous in lumber camps and on fishing ships. �But primarily rum was linked with the Negro trade, and immense quantities of the raw liquor were sent to Africa and exchanged for slaves. So important was rum on the Guinea Coast that by 1723 it had surpassed French and Holland brandy, English gin, trinkets and dry goods as a medium of barter.�

Slaves costing the equivalent of �4 or �5 in rum or bar iron in West Africa were sold in the West Indies in 1746 for �30 to �80. New England thrift made the rum cheaply -- production cost was as low as 5� pence a gallon -- and the same spirit of Yankee thrift discovered that the slave ships were most economical with only 3 feet 3 inches of vertical space to a deck and 13 inches of surface area per slave, the human cargo laid in carefully like spoons in a silverware case.

A list of the leading slave merchants is almost identical with a list of the region's prominent families: the Fanueils, Royalls, and Cabots of Massachusetts; the Wantons, Browns, and Champlins of Rhode Island; the Whipples of New Hampshire; the Eastons of Connecticut; Willing & Morris of Philadelphia.

To this day, it's difficult to find an old North institution of any antiquity that isn't tainted by slavery. Ezra Stiles imported slaves while president of Yale. Six slave merchants served as mayor of Philadelphia.

Even a liberal bastion like Brown University has the shameful blot on its escutcheon. It is named for the Brown brothers, Nicholas, John, Joseph, and Moses, manufacturers and traders who shipped salt, lumber, meat -- and slaves.

And like many business families of the time, the Browns had indirect connections to slavery via rum distilling. John Brown, who paid half the cost of the college's first library, became the first Rhode Islander prosecuted under the federal Slave Trade Act of 1794 and had to forfeit his slave ship. Historical evidence also indicates that slaves were used at the family's candle factory in Providence, its ironworks in Scituate, and to build Brown's University Hall."

Northern Profits from Slavery
 
And that's why the once solid conservative, democratic south is a solid democratic stronghold to this day.



Oh wait...

You did not have a solid D south. That's another lie.

Eisenhower baby. In back to back. Now governors that's a whole different story. You held all those good old boy governorships to battle against integration and uphold segregation.

Check your governors.

Question 49

5% of people strongly disapprove of freeing the slaves.

8% slightly disapprove.

Isn't that just a little scary?

It took a republican (Lincoln) to end slavery and what do the tards do?
They create the KKK

Slavery didn't end until after Lincolns' death. Southern Conservatives formed the KKK to roll back the policies of the reconstruction period.

Although Vice-President Gore's phrasing might have been a bit clumsy (and perhaps self-serving), he was not claiming that he "invented" the Internet in the sense of having designed or implemented it, but rather that he was responsible, in an economic and legislative sense, for fostering the development the technology that we now know as the Internet. To claim that Gore was seriously trying to take credit for the "invention" of the Internet is, frankly, just silly political posturing that arose out of a close presidential campaign. Gore never used the word "invent," and the words "create" and "invent" have distinctly different meanings: the former is used in the sense of "to bring about" or "to bring into existence" while the latter is generally used to signify the first instance of someone's thinking up or implementing an idea.

Internet of Lies

He said "I" meaning he personally did it, not Congress, and he said he "created" it. What the hell do you think it means to create something?

Your lame deflection that created doesn't mean invented sounds good to you? Really?

Point in fact he did not use the term "created" or "I created". Why would you lie about that? The quote is right up there. Just kidding, I know why.........

:lmao:

He didn't say "created" he said he took the initiative in "creating" the internet. OMG, that's funny, you denied it because of the form of the word.

This is why I absolutely love not belonging to either of your useless as shit parties. I don't have to look like a complete and utter stupid bitch like you do trying to defend them. That's classic. he didn't say created, he said creating!!!!! Now that's humor

As usually you pretend to miss the point. What do you think he meant by "I took the initiative in creating..." as opposed to "I created the Internet".

:wtf: Those sentences mean exactly the same thing. You get a bad bag of dog food?
