NOW she's worried about deficit spending?![]()
They weren't saying that it was because of slavery and you know it. I think you are intentionally twisting what I am saying and trying to make it look like I'm saying something else.
But oh well. If it makes you happy to do that please rave on.
But for the record:
I am not saying that slavery gave a child a better chance to have a mom and dad in the home.
The pledge didn't say that.
Michelle Bachmann didn't say that.
Rick Santorum didn't say that.
And no matter how many times you distort what is being said, it won't change the fact that none of us said that.
Oh really? Then why is slavery brought up then?
Really, do you think people are that stupid?
The irony.
Which is pertinent to the original statement how? Nor is it pertinent that the black child born in 1860 had far less chance of being mugged, knifed, or murdered in the streets than does a child born into the projects in America today and was far less likely to grow up with the mentality that such is the way of life. And no, acknowledging that truth is not any kind of endorsement of slavery any more than was noting that black kids have much less chance of growing up with a mom and dad in the home these days.
Living in a place where you are always in danger of stray bullets or street thugs is bad. Whether you descend from slaves or not.
Living in a loving home with a mom and dad present is the best possible situation for all children whether they descend from slaves or not.
A child born in slavery into a 2 parent household was a child born a slave. Did the specter of being sold to another master, away from parents, or that fact that your mom could be forced to have sex with someone other than your father have an impact on the household?
I would like someone to explain what solid family values can be imparted to a child when they are a piece of property. When their parents are property. When they or their parents could be sold at any time and the law supported that behavior. When they had no recourse with the law if they were even just randomly beaten or killed by their owner?
Personally I think it is sad here that some of our friends are so dishonestly characterizing Michelle Bachmann or any who are acknowledging that the conditions of life for so many black children today is deplorable. For some reason they don't wish to discuss that which was after all the point the pledge was making. No, they would rather accuse others of intentions that were not intended, of words that were never said, of motives that don't exist, and they throw in a lot of non sequitur, red herrings, and straw men to boot.
That is sad people. That is sad.
Well, that IS one of the major schisms of the two parties - we fundamentally differ on how to help, not whether to help.Personally I think it is sad here that some of our friends are so dishonestly characterizing Michelle Bachmann or any who are acknowledging that the conditions of life for so many black children today is deplorable.

That is sad people. That is sad.
If there was actually any sincerity from Conservatives in actually trying to help those deplorable conditions, I might have some sympathy. The cruel nature of the document in its attacks on blacks, gays and Muslims was an embarassment for the GOP. The farther they distance themselves from that partisan rag...the better they are
Conservatism supported slavery,

Or have someone tell you that a child might have been better a slave than now in a one parent home.
Wait....Robert Byrd used to keep slaves?

Show me some legislation initiated by Michelle Bachmann that is targeted at helping black children emerge from "deplorable conditions"
Mitt Romney had it right. Signing that document is below the dignity of credible presidential candidates
