Well…we all know how much the repubs hate teaching about history or even knowing any history and the latest thing is to ignore that slavery ever existed or that it was the cause of the Civil War…a few days back when one of the front runners for the repub nomination, Nikki Haley, was asked if she thought slavery was the cause of the Civil War and she couldn’t even say slavery but launched into a word salad about freedom and lots of other bullshit when she knows her state, South Carolina, launched the war and were quite blunt that it was all about slavery…no “states rights” or any other made up reason…just frickin slavery and being able to own other human beings…now I think this should be the question all of the repubs should be asked every time they pop their heads out from under the rocks they live under…let’s get their radical right wing asses on video and then crank out the ads…geez…

Another jaw dropper from the right….
Well….was reading some the past day and came across this jaw dropper from a right wing radio host…can’t find the article to get the particulars but here is the gist: his plan, which he espoused on his radio show was that we give all the undocumented people in his state….I think it was Idaho…30-60 days to ‘self deport” and after that, and here comes the jaw dropper…the state would “own” any of the undocumented that are found to be there and could be put to work doing work that needs to be done for the state for room and board…yep, the right is right back to what they still defend, slavery, for 11 million people in the US…I don’t know what to say about this one…the plan and words speak for themselves….the right still thinks slavery is a good idea….I’m shaking head….geez…
Okay, here’s an update…I didn’t want to just post this without the facts so here they are: the radio host’s name is Jan Mickleson and he is in Iowa, not Idaho….and he has hosted Walker, Fiorina, Carson, and Santorum…all repub candidates for president….and his question was” “What’s wrong with slavery”….where the hell do they get these guys?…geez…again…
