Ron,
This is good. All of us, white and black citizens, now live in the same
socialist nightmare. So you're saying that rather than living in our current
circumstances, that we'd all be better off as as human chattel, chained,
beaten, made to work without a free moment, separated from our family members,
and once we're no longer capable of performing any useful tasks, left to die
without proper medical care.
Got it. Thank you for the clarification.

RG,
You really are obsessed with that statement I made. I ask again what connection
does it have with the Keystone pipeline?
BY DEFINITION a slave is not free. But a slave in a free society at least has a
chance to become a freeman. On the other hand no person, black or white, has
freedom in a repressive society. This is what I meant and I'm pretty sure this
is what Cliven Bundy meant.

RR,
Would this come under your heading of Facts or Opinions?
"I agree with Bundy that blacks have less freedom under socialism
than they did as slaves."

Simple as that.
Facts are real and not subject to opinion.
That being said, some "facts" can
be manipulated, such as the unemployment rate or the rate of
inflation. The U.S. Government
is famous for this. They simply change
the way they calculate these things. In this case they
aren't really lying but
I would call it
deception.
Many people believe
things they read on the Internet
that are just somebody
else's opinion
and in some cases are
half truths or outright lies designed
to manipulate public
opinion. Governments
lie all the time. All
you need to do to verify this is to read
the official
news stories in
different countries. They often
have
completely
different
versions of what
transpired. One or the
other has to be
lying.
