   Keith Ellison was crying like a little girl about how a Muslim first responder paramedic killed on 9/11 is being disrespected.

   The only persons disrespecting that first responder are the Islamist scum who killed him on 9/11 and now you Keith. So fuck you and fuck your false piety and dripping sanctimony. Go suck off Harry Reid crying about the Cowboy Poetry festival in Elko.

   It makes him an idiot who forgot to read the part that starts with “Amendments”

   And I guess the couple hundred thousand dead Union soldiers and the almost million more maimed fighting to change that particular clause were just faking it. Because most of them were white.

   But what the hell, that was well over 50 years ago…

   Maybe this guy had no idea what he was talking about. After all, what the hell would he know about slavery and the Constitution?

   That the interests of all the people would be promoted by the full participation of colored men in the affairs of government seems very plain to me. The American government rests for support, more than any other government in the world, upon the loyalty and patriotism of all its people. The friendship and affection of her black sons and daughters, as they in-crease in virtue and knowledge, will be an element of strength to the Republic too obvious to be neglected and repelled. I predict, therefore, that under an enlightened public sentiment, the American people will cultivate the friendship, increase the usefulness and otherwise advance the interests of the colored race. They will be as eager to extend the rights and dignity of citizenship as they have hitherto been eager to deny those rights.

   But a word as to objections. The constitution is interposed. It always is.

   Let me tell you something. Do you know that you have been deceived and cheated? You have been told that this government was intended from the beginning for white men, and for white men exclusively; that the men who formed the Union and framed the Constitution designed the permanent exclusion of the colored people from the benefits of those institutions. Davis, Taney and Yancey, traitors at the south, have propagated this statement, while their copperhead echoes at the north have repeated the same. There never was a bolder or more wicked perversion of the truth of history. So far from this purpose was the mind and heart of your fathers, that they desired and expected the abolition of slavery. They framed the Constitution plainly with a view to the speedy downfall of slavery. They carefully excluded from the Constitution any and every word which could lead to the belief that they meant it for persons of only one complexion.

   .The Constitution, in its language and in its spirit, welcomes the black man to all the rights which it was intended to guarantee to any class of the American people. Its preamble tells us for whom and for what it was made.

   Or maybe Keith Ellison is a crybaby tool.

   And from what I understand, there were no black coaches in the NFL back then, and Harry Belafonte was a still as of yet unnoticed nightclub singer, so it’s not like there were a lot of really good role models for the kids.

   From Pablo’s link in #4:

   Third. It may be said as another mode of escaping the claims of absolute justice, the white people may Emancipate the slaves in form yet retain them as slaves in fact just as General Banks is now said to be doing in Louisiana, or then may free them from individual masters, only to make them slaves to the community. They can make of them a degraded caste. But this would be about the worst thing that could be done. It would make pestilence and pauperism, ignorance and crime, a part of American Institutions. It would be dooming the colored race to a condition indescribably wretched and the dreadful contagion of their vices and crimes would fly like cholera and small pox through all classes. Woe, woe! to this land, when it strips five millions of its people of all motives for cultivating an upright character. Such would be the effect of abolishing slavery, without conferring equal rights. It would be to lacerate and depress the spirit of the Negro, and make him a scourge and a curse to the country. Do anything else with us, but plunge us not into this hopeless pit.

   I argue that Leftist/Liberal/Progressive policies have done exactly this for way too many people. Douglass could see it 150 years ago. Too bad the lefties will pay lip service to men such as this, but won’t bother actually reading anything they wrote.

   Oh, c’mon — it was 1989. Everyone knows that the U.S. wasn’t worthy of praise or pride until 2009. The First Lady said so!

   So tell me: does this revelation reveal Ellison as a Manchurian candidate? Or just an Uncle Tom?

   Asshat?

    I’ll just say “What is ‘an idiot who has learned a lot of big words and can say those big words in a smooth manner, but really has no clue to what they mean other than that they are big words and can smooth his way to a good income for life’ for $200, Alex.
