[QUOTE="Hermes, post: 876143, member: 37154"] I'm not ok with this. He owned slaves, he signed a document which supported the idea that people could be counted as 3/5 of a person because of the color of their skin. Those men were waging a war on the native population which in my eyes amounts to genocide. The constitution was written to prevent the abolition of slavery until 1808. You're twisting things here I think. Also, I'd just like to say that the republican party of those times was very different from todays. So you agree with everything that is in the contitution as it stands today, thats all I was wondering. Both America and Unions are democratic organizations where every member has an equal say (ideally at least), so you are entitled to your opinion. I think that the Tea Party will say whatever they can to get voters on their side, hence all the different divisions in their ranks. What they seem to agree on is that if we loosen up the restrictions on corporations then we will all be swimming in money and also everyone should own a gun and that will make the world a safer place. I think that if we allow it big biz will continue to infringe on our rights, and I don't want to see this happen for my own sake, that of my fellow workers and future generations. From what I see, it is democratic socialism which got us the things that are good for all American people, and free-market capitalism which allowed a few people to put themselves in a position to exercise control over the lives of others.
