Re: Presidential ranking

Maybe Reagan just appeared to be so great because Carter was God awful.
Sort of the same reason Biden almost appears to be average.

Re: Happy Confederate History Month

The Civil War was caused by economics, with slavery being an issue inherent to the economic system that was in question. The whole US had been founded on slave labor, given that the European colonizers had always considered the losers of armed conflicts anywhere to be a good source of same. "R...

You would also know that many take ad...

But I can objectively say that morally, the Founding Fathers reason to fight is on a MUCH higher ground the the slaveholder south. Or the Taliban.

Don't you agree with that?
