DISQUS

The Moderate Voice: Steve King Is Pathetic

  • joeinhell · 5 months ago
    Nothing that me and my Louisville slugger can't get straightened out. Betcha I can get him believing that the devil actually exists in 15 minutes and to convert to a moon worshipper in 20 minutes.

    My championship round was the riot that I started with a pool cue in a logger bar in Springfield OR. Not safe to talk this way around me.

    King, "And of the 645,000 Africans that were brought here to be forcibly put into slavery in the United States, there were over 600,000 people that gave their lives in the Civil War to put an end to slavery."

    OK.... and the 645,000 does not even include the slaves who died in the horrible conditions on their way over here, nor does it count the people born into slavery over many generations in the US.

    What do the readers of TMV imagine Kathy would be writing if the chairman of Philadelphia’s Valley Swim Club turned out to be a Republican instead of a Democrat?

    Here’s some information you won’t find on the leftist websites (or here on TMV).

    There may have "only" been 645,000 slaves brought to America, but there were millions who were born into slavery from those "immigrants."

    I, for one, would like to know which of Martin Luther King, Jr's words Steve King doesn't agree with.

    "What do the readers of TMV imagine Kathy would be writing if the chairman of Philadelphia’s Valley Swim Club turned out to be a Republican instead of a Democrat?"

    I'm surprised she hasn't started a thread about that Republican (real or otherwise; it doesn't matter).

    At least we haven't had the "reparations" baggaged dredged and dropped here again yet by her.

    Slaves built a lot of things, including the Pyramids. What's new? (To counter the hype elsewhere...)

    Funny, I was thinking the same thing. Kathy's conservative hating is getting a little old...and I'm new around here.

    Blah blah blah, Bush is evil. Blah blah blah, conservatives are pathetic....blah.

    It's like listening to Charlie Brown's school teacher.

    jwest, DLS, and shannonlee,

    This post is not about reparations, ancient Egypt, Philadelphia's Valley Swim Club, Bush being evil, or conservatives in general being pathetic. In my view, it says a lot that, having nothing you can thing of to say about the subject of this post, you have to criticize what I didn't write, here, or anywhere at TMV.

    If you have no comment to make, you can simply not comment. Or, you can express your real, actual, and true opinion about the House resolution I wrote about in this post, and one House member's refusal to vote for it. You will not do that -- maybe because you know it's not really a defensible position.

    And King doesn't know his history, either. According to this site the total number of fatalities on the Union side, including from disease, etc. was 360,222. The Confederates who died did not die trying to put an end to slavery.
