urbanoid Posted March 19, 2025 Posted March 19, 2025 (edited) Why? From non-German point of view there was a risk that someone actually competent took helm, thus prolonging the war. Maybe someone able to get conditional surrender. Would love to get FDR though, preferably at some point before 1943. Edited March 19, 2025 by urbanoid

Rick Posted March 19, 2025 Posted March 19, 2025 4 hours ago, urbanoid said: I think I clearly said 'not multiculturalism in its modern meaning'. Your Founding Fathers were aware of Europe's religious wars and took precautions against that happening in the US, it even mostly worked. Still, they limited the franchise to 'free white persons', regardless of their religion. A good post, and for further understanding let's go a little deeper. The genesis of the U.S. Constitution can be found in the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776 "...We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,..." The Constitution, ratified between 1787-1790 guarantees the individual the freedom to worship God via the First Amendment. This avoids the entanglements of a national religion as you stated. RM Gill, beat me to it regarding the "franchise" of the Constitution, but you can see the long struggle against slavery can officially be found in the Declaration of Independence that all men are equal and have God-given rights that are not to be negated by government. A slavery decision was crafted by the The Three-Fifths Compromise which diluted the federal governmental power of the slave holding South. The rest is history.

I disagree with you as to who's power was diluted. Without the compromise slavery could have been disallowed even sooner. It actually gave more seats in congress to the south that they would have otherwise gotten. However there was the very high probability that the Constitution would not have been ratified if the compromise had been left out.

Agree with your last sentence why the 3/5 compromise was agreed upon. The South wanted to count slaves as equal with whites as far as population goes for the House, the North wanted, IIRC, zero, hence 3/5. I have occasionally wondered if mechanization would have replaced slavery and when.
Sinistar Posted March 19, 2025 Posted March 19, 2025 i take the view that the constitution was created as a direct result of a bona fide second revolutionary war or a civil war threatening to occur after the war of independence the united states was still a confederation without a national government per se and having currency problems as a result of the often overlooked events described as shays' rebellion as a symptom of what might be occurring so the previous bunch which had thrown the british out now saw themselves as fending off a challenge to the system there was no institutional response to this rebellion since there was no real national government and national army and literally required using militias to fence it off the constitution was created the convention 1787 as a direct result because of the way this experiment was all starting to look like it was falling apart that is, to see the need for some underlying central government and despite their misgivings in the past over government based on the european models preceding it those arguing for a stronger federal government had the most influence henceforth the government has only grown larger

DKTanker Posted March 20, 2025 Posted March 20, 2025 8 hours ago, rmgill said: I have seen it posited that the left’s penchant for violence at people’s homes has some of the SCOTUS judges scared. Often it is ACB's name that comes up regarding that issue. Regardless, I'm not buying it. If one or more them is allowing themselves to be frightened into ruling against their principles or are even just questioning whether or not tacit threats are influencing their decisions, they have a duty to resign. Short of that they should go on the record requesting greater protection. And by protection I mean something much better than what Kavanaugh had the night he almost lost his life to a reluctant assassin. In addition a robust US Marshal response to protestors flagrantly flouting laws regarding the intimidation of judges and justices. I'm not so arrogant to believe I'm the first to come up with that advise so I've got to believe that if justices are using the excuse of intimidation influencing their decisions, they are simply using it as cover to rule as they would have sans intimidation.

Murph Posted March 20, 2025 Posted March 20, 2025 Good bye Greenpeace, your were a reliable Eco-Terrorist and Communist front for decades. Hope you can come up with the 667 MILLION dollars you owe. Seize their assets NOW. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/03/is-greenpeace-finished-jury-orders-far-left-group/ CBS News reports: Greenpeace ordered to pay more than $660 million to fossil fuel company over pipeline protests In a win for the oil and gas pipeline company Energy Transfer, a nine-person North Dakota jury found the environmental group Greenpeace liable for more than $660 million in damages and defamation for the 2016 to 2017 Standing Rock protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline. In their lawsuit, Dallas-based Energy Transfer claimed Greenpeace was responsible for defamation, disruption and property damage for the protests that captured national attention in 2016. Greenpeace claimed the lawsuit threatened its freedom of speech. In a statement, Energy Transfer said, “This win is really for the people of Mandan and throughout North Dakota who had to live through the daily harassment and disruptions caused by the protesters who were funded and trained by Greenpeace. It is also a win for all law-abiding Americans who understand the difference between the right to free speech and breaking the law.” Greenpeace plans to appeal the verdict. “This is the end of a chapter, but not the end of our fight. Energy Transfer knows we don’t have $660 million. They want our silence, not our money.” Sushma Raman, interim executive director of Greenpeace Inc., told CBS News.
Murph Posted March 20, 2025 Posted March 20, 2025 UniLever has had enough of the far left stupidity coming out of Ben and Jerry's ice cream, and sh**cans the CEO. Predictable whinging and outrage ensues on the left. They make pretty decent ice cream, but I quit buying their product for over a decade due to the hard left BS. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/03/ben-jerrys-parent-company-ousts-its-far-left/ Ben & Jerry’s reputation as America’s wokest brand may soon be at an end. The ice cream company, notorious for its calorie-laden products, has accused its parent company of sacking CEO Dave Stever after he refused to “oversee the dismantling” of its progressive values. (i.e LEFT WING BS! My comment) Ben & Jerry’s claimed in a filing to the US District Court for the Southern District of New York that Unilever, the UK-based consumer giant behind brands like Marmite and Dove, sought to prevent the company’s leadership from making political statements. These included statements critical of President Donald Trump.
