Self-evident. Democrats don't understand rights that are SELF EVIDENT. Let that sink in.

Evil prevails when good men do nothing.

Reinstitute Civics and forget socialist studies. Slavery of blacks was horrible, and indentured servitude of the Irish was equally horrible, and slavery of the Chinese for the Pacific railroads and Pacific coast was horrible, and women were basically owned by their husbands with very little voice, and didn't even get the vote until AFTER black men were given the vote. It is still our great American Constitutional Republic that evolved, and still evolves to be the safest, most opportune country for life, liberty, and pursuing happiness. JFK said," Ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what YOU can do for your country". Meaning get off your lazy ass, no matter the skin tone, and work to show yourself approved. All four groups of poor immigrants suffered, and yet blacks were still the ones specifically freed by white men who wised up to their own ignorance. Blacks are still sold into slavery by other blacks in the world, and kept on the Democrat plantation by many wealthy black politicians with never ending poverty cycles. High taxes/voluminous business regulations=strangled and starved market where businesses all leave for a better market=poverty= few taxes for schools=keep them dumb=bring in the drugs, gangs, guns= welfare state. Dangle the free stuff for votes but NEVER give them hope,a great education, and fulltime jobs. Don't offer 100% free IUDs 24/7 at every clinic, Dr office, and hospital, or have 100% free contraception and "moment after" pills for rape and heat of the moment times in every convenience store so they can actually "plan their parenthood" rather than kill and dismember the baby.

Amen. We need to be reminding each other of these things on a continual basis. When we stop- we fail.

Slavery back in the day wasn't like it was portrayed by the jews in hollywood. Being a slave was a decent gig back then. It worked in the same way that student loans function today. Your master keeps a percent of your labor, and as long as you keep working, no one bothers you. If you pay off your debt, they free you. Never mix history with hollywood. They are like oil and water.

1). Slave auctions were typically postponed in observance of Jewish holidays. 2). Jewish SLAVERS (or merchants) were dominate within ALL American colonies, whether French (Martinique), British, or Dutch. 3). During the 17th century, in places such as Curacao, and in 18th century Barbados and Jamaica, Jewish merchants played a major role in the slave trade. 4). Jews were also active in the Dutch colonial slave trade. Bylaws of the Recife and Mauricia congregations (1648) included a "Jewish tax" of five soldos for each "black" slave from the West Indies Company a Brazilian Jew purchased. 5). Jews participated in the 'triangular trade' which brought slaves from Africa to the West Indies and exchanged them for molasses. Molasses was then taken to New England and converted into rum later sold (or traded) in Africa while Jewish individuals such as Isaac Da Costa of Charleston in the 1750's, David Franks of Philadelphia in the 1760's, and Aaron Lopez of Newport in the late 1760's and early 1770's dominated slave trading on the American continent.

Not exactly right, and true to a degree. So what is your point? The fact a certain idea is formulated as a statement of fact, only demonstrates realisation on a cognitive level. If you read TJ writings, you will find he was wrestling with quite a number of issues and how these could be practically implemented. The Liberia experiment being one such idea floating around.

Your kneejerk response meant for denigration totally falls flat, goes tits up, because you failed to look further than your nose.

....should have stayed with the original Lockean formula of life, liberty, and property.... And indeed, the property issue is key. Yet, perhaps, we can consider this a to be self evident issue. Without property you are nothing. Properties of humans differ from properties of dolphins, although they share a few. The unique property of humans is to add properties of all kinds. And this indeed is basically denied by your typical socialists and communists as a bad thing.

The object of these properties is not property, but the happiness that such pursuits yield, meaning: how you go about it. This again in opposition to the typical socialist and communists who claim that only in the community you will be able to find happiness.

Thomas Jefferson should have stayed with the original Lockean formula of life, liberty, and property bc that would for sure point a finger at the socialists.
