Fahrenheit 1861

What would happen if Michael Moore made a documentary about the civil war?

Now you know.

The part about the slaves being happy with their free health care about made me spit water all over my computer.

If Moore made a Civil War documentary it would not come out as a Republican wet dream.

How do you figure?

Trent Lott

Yeah. He was making an old guy feel good at his birthday party. What a bastard.

When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. We’re proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn’t have had all these problems over all these years, either.”

tomorrow the French school will thus drown the diversity of the black slave trade in the ocean of anti-Western political correctness. We’ll teach colonization not as a terrible, ambiguous historical phenomenon, but as a crime against humanity.

How’s this

diversity of the black slave trade


All sorts of people were involved in the slave trade. You got a free ocean voyage, were exposed to new cultures, learned new languages and job skills. Be thankful.

colonization not as a terrible, ambiguous historical phenomenon

Colonizers who took your land and resources, slaughtered those who objected, were actually performing a service for ignorant indigenous peoples.

Am I close?

Woofie needs a sense of humor.


The war against illegal plunder has been fought since the beginning of the world. But how is… legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime. Then abolish this law without delay … If such a law is not abolished immediately it will spread, multiply and develop into a system.
