Democrat Says Slavery Was “Right For The Time”

Talk about stepping in your own pile. All one has to do is read this article and it's obvious the gun grabbers don't have anything to stand on, every argument is blown out of the water

Democrat Senator Says Slavery Was “Right For The Time”

At a recent constituent coffee town hall, Oregon state Senator Chuck Riley took heat from pro gun folks who were upset with his vote for the “universal background check” bill. Riley attempted to defend this in numerous different ways, including referencing Supreme Court decisions. When one citizen asked him about the Supreme Court upholding slavery back in the 1800s, Riley said “They were right for the time”.

The Constitution eventually had to be AMENDED to end slavery. If the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of slavery BEFORE that amendment,

wouldn't they thus have been constitutionally right for the time?

A slave in the 1850 dimocrap controlled South

The Republican Party didn't even exist in 1850, Dumbass. The Democratic Party, which is today the oldest political party in the world, controlled the South, the North and everything else that the declining Whigs couldn't get.

Which is why Lincoln, the republican party founder, emerged in order to take control

Had a Republican said this, oh my.

.

They have and everytime its supported by republicans as being reasonable. Only when a democrat says it do you understand how silly it is.

 

[SuperDemocrat]

We all agree that the democrTic party was responsible for slavery.

If slavery was such a profit-maker, how come the North was richer by far than the South?

What? You can't use slaves in heavy Industry? Somebody needs to tell the father of modern day dimocraps, Adolf Hitler, that

And how come even Northern farmers were far batter off than Southern Farmers?

dimocrap scum, then as now, did NOT like America. They didn't like the American way of doing things. They didn't believe in freedom for anyone but themselves and they really, REALLY liked the Manoral System they brought with them from Europe.

They LOVED living the 'elite' life. They loved then, as dimocrap scum do now, looking down on others, forcing them to bended knee, making them obey their every demand -- Or else.

These people weren't Americans, they were dimocraps.

And you can say the same thing about dimocraps of today.

Just that their 'slaves' look and live a little differently.

They're all different colors these days. AND (this one's funny as shit) they're forcing YOU to pay for THEIR slaves' upkeep!!! In the Inner Cities!!!!

THAT is a knee slapper, there.

and if he was a republican who said it....24/7 coverage....and every single Presidential candidate, and every other candidate for Republican office would be ambushed with questions about what this guy said....anyone ask hilary about this guy....?

Don't bother, they're getting ready to bail on this thread. They've been humiliated.

They'll be in the nearest gay butt-ranger thread if you want to find them

Uh, Lincoln didn't "found" the RP. When it was founded in 1854 Lincoln was still running as a Whig.

Uh.... nnnnnnnnno. We don't. This is only the second time I've even seen a USMB poster silly enough to propose that a political party did something two hundred years before its own founding, at a time when neither the United States of American nor any domestic political party at all existed.

You're going with the Ignorance is Strength bit huh? Good luck wit dat.

It's the central point in a one-sentence of 14 words. What else you want? I didn't say anything about failing to captialize a proper name. I didn't even mention that you skipped a period. But if these factors are equally important to the wrongness of the statement, well to quote the inimitable Lord Buckley, there you jolly well are --whew-- aren't you.

The dynamic of your statement is sound; no need to take exception. Indeed starting with Lincoln the RP scored big and continued to score big for the rest of the century.

Unfortunately by the end of that century it had become entrenched, as successful political parties are wont to do, and shifted its base from the common man to the rich, leaving today's partisan hacks to imagine that what they see today under the same name must be ideologically identical to the name of the past (many of these the same wags unable to see past the word "socialist" in the name of the NSDAP).

Needless to say when one party shifts to such a partisan base, the other party takes advantage of the vacuum, which is how the DP got to be the party of unions and immigrants and Catholics and Jews and finally Africans.... but we digress....

They're very good at ignoring/avoiding the obvious point of posts...

When exactly was that, you lying, pus-filled sack of fucking shit?

When?

I keep hearing that fucking LIE from dimocrap scum. Tell us WHEN it happened...

Was it after the 1928 DNC called the "Klanbake"?

Was it during the FDR administration when he appointed a former KKK member to the Supreme Court? Hugo Black, who originated the phony phrase, 'separation of church and State'

Was it before, during or after the longest serving member of Congress Robert KKK Byrd (former Grand Kleagle in the KKK)?

Maybe it was after Harry Truman, former member of the KKK? No? Before?

dimocraps are lying scum.

EVERY.LAST.ONE.OF.THEM.

And since when did the Republican Party take over the South?

Where was Bill the rapist Clinton from?

How about Jimmy the peanut?

How about Al Gore, aka; ManBearPig?

Didn't you notice that Florida AND Virginia (the Capital of the Confederacy) went for the Lying Cocksucker in Chief in 2012? Joined by North Carolina in 2008?

FUCK dimocraps. lying motherfuckers

When it was conservative, yes. I don't think Robert E. Lee was a liberal.

Lincoln is now one of the Right's most hated Republicans.

There we go with the fucking lies again....

Was Stalin a liberal or a conservative? He was a redistributionist and a communist. That makes him a liberal.

How about Lenin? How about Pol Pot? How about Mao? How about Castro?

How about Lincoln who was trying to CONSERVE The Republic?

How about the dimocrap scum in the South who wanted CHANGE??

How about you don't know what the fuck you're talking about and should shut the fuck up and go away

far away

I'm thinking Hell

What's wrong with what he said? Was it not accurate to uphold the constitutionality of slave owning before the Constitution was amended?

If the Supreme Court had ever ruled slavery was unconstitutional before the 13th amendment,

wouldn't that have been the most extreme example of judicial activism and legislating from the bench in history?

I would not have used the word "right"...."typical" would have been better. So, he's not very bright in his choice of words. Would you agree?

"Correct" i think would have been best. Prior to the 13th amendment slavery was constitutional. Ruling otherwise would have been incorrect, or wrong.
