Sheila Jackson: the boss from hell

[Hamster]

Or like public documents like birth certificates, or certificates of live birth. Or history books that clearly state the founding father were all dead before the slaves were freed, or the reams of information about where Obama spent his childhood, or the mountains of evidence that the earth isn't 6000 years old that the theory of evolution is a indisputably true, or that Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with 9/11, or that there were no WMDs, or that Reagan raised taxes, or . . . ?

I don't know, I don't believe any of that and I'm not a republican. Nice homophobia.

Texas needs the federal government's approval to redistrict due to the Voting Rights Act, which is also what's responsible for Sheila's district looking the way it is. It was done that way so blacks have a more unified vote rather than get diluted into white majority districts like Tim the Klansman Zim would prefer.

The slaves that lived in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, and New Jersey would profoundly disagree. Bet you didn't realize that at one time New York City had the second highest per capita of slaves in the country with only Charleston, S.C. having more slaves per capita. In 1703 something like 42% of the households there had slaves.

Wait... what? Saddam didn't have anything to do with 9/11, just the first WTC bombing.

And WMDs were found. They weren't the type or quantity we expected, but there were some there.

and it's just a coincidence that so many African American have the names Washington and Jefferson, right? I'm aware of US history, thanks. And only revisionists with idiot followers would be bold enough to say something as stupid as Bachmann said. Where is DE's thread about that? Where is his thread about the relentless mischaracterization of, perhaps, congresses greatest heroes, Charlie Rangel, for example? He's a tool.

That TimZim is a poe theory is looking more and more likely.

What's the context for the term "poe" in this corner of the web? What does it mean, here?

[Darth Executor]

Parody. Presumably it's British slang.

[TimZim]

Many did. Many were very unhappy with the compromises made with slave-owners but accepted them only because they couldn't form a nation any other way and sought to hinder and abolish slavery immediately afterwards in any way they could.

.

Perhaps you should look up the definition of "abolish." it has a very specific meaning. And it doesn't mean "tried" or "almost."
She was dead wrong. And for idiots, like the eight percent of North Carolinians who don't even know Hawaii is a state, she may convince them that America never supported the practice of slavery.

Charlie Rangel, the person you singled out, in order to whine in some sort of British slang was simply superhuman and singlehandedly saved many lives. I will gladly give him the benefit of the doubt on the petty accounting issue, as I would anyone else who displayed the valor he did.
He's a stud.

When freed many took on the last names of some of the most famous founding fathers such as those of the first presidents. For instance, there are a large number of African-Americans with the last name of Adams after the second president and his son who was the sixth (and a strong abolitionist).

I'm aware of US history, thanks.

You have yet to demonstrate this is true in spite of bragging about your "world class education." In fact all you've shown is that you know something about a characterization of U.S. history and nothing else.

And only revisionists with idiot followers would be bold enough to say something as stupid as Bachmann said.

Well I was more than able to back up my position. You, OTOH, still have done nothing more than what you always do - continue with unsupported allegations.

Where is DE's thread about that? Where is his thread about the relentless mischaracterization of, perhaps, congresses greatest heroes, Charlie Rangel, for example? He's a tool.

Rangle got caught with his hand stuck in the cookie jar. It might even be accurate to say he got caught with both hands stuck all the way up to his shoulders. His arrogantly dismissive attitude and all but daring anyone to do anything about it finally forced the overwhelmingly Democrat-controlled Congress to finally get serious and slap his wrist with a fly swatter.

A corollary of Poe's Law.

Dang. Missed CC's post

So was Randy “Duke” Cunningham:

He was one of the most highly decorated United States Navy pilots in the Vietnam War, receiving the Navy Cross once, the Silver Star twice, the Air Medal 15 times, and the Purple Heart for wounds he received under enemy fire.

But he was also corrupt politician. And unlike Charlie he got what he deserved (over 8 of the maximum of 10 years he could have got – the longest jail term ever given to a former Congressman) whereas Rangel still unrepentantly haunts the halls of Congress.
