V, Impressive. Jim McDermott apparently doesn't think the blacks forced to work 'back in the day' were actually slaves. Either that, or...
1. He is an idiot. 2. He is a fascist jerkoff. 3. A combination of the above. Qualifier: if whomever 'spoke for him' at his office overstepped his grounds for McDermott, McDermott is guilty of not reigning in his employees. Read the text, especially Sec 4b 5-6. http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h111-1444 Next, read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirteenth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution Now, go here: http://www.govtrack.us/users/questions.xpd?topic=bill:h111-1444 Click the answers to question "Isn't mandatory service in direct violation of the 13th amendment? - Show 7 Answers" Pay special attention to answers 1, 4, 6 and 7. But read them all. The text of HR1444 was removed word for word from HR1388, so as to 'remove offending text' from those who started complaining (and for good reason). The human trash we call Congress have simply cut and pasted it into a new, separate bill, hoping no one would notice. How many of you said I was paranoid for worrying about the direction we are taking? What will you now do to spread the word and kill this thing? Or do you not wish to do your American duty and uphold the Constitution? But maybe I am a right-wing terrorist, a la the NSA? I'm not. I don't even own a gun, have not for a while. Sold it, needed cash. I also don't hunt, and this is the most boring community imaginable. No, I am just a man who wants the trend started so many years ago, of taking our freedom in exchange for some supposed security, to end. Note: this was aimed at my fellow American citizens. If you aren't American, you obviously aren't bound by the duties I said above. --Kyle Postscript: it does not rain on the just and unjust. God, it seems, has changed this policy to one of rewarding evil, while letting the just and kind be stomped upon. I find no answers from organized religion, just apologetics and excuses. We part ways here. Farewell.
