See there Reb, King Obama wouldn't be so bad!I guess I stand corrected.
I think what's hilarious with that is that when the rest of us have pointed out Snot Nose's arrogance, it is dismissed as Republican carping. And yet now it's his own party noting how snotty he is talking to Elizabeth Warren.See there Reb, King Obama wouldn't be so bad!![]()
Yes, that Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of Uncle Tom's Cabin.Henry Ward Beecher (brother of Harriet Beecher Stowe said:“The Federal government is unfit to exercise minor police and local government and will inevitably blunder when it attempts it. To oblige the central authority to govern half the territory of the Union by Federal civil officers and by the army, is a policy not only uncongenial to our ideas and principles, but preeminently dangerous to the spirit of our government. However humane the ends sought and the motive, it is in fact a course of instruction preparing our government to be despotic and familiarizing the people to a stretch of authority which can never be other than dangerous to liberty.”
Two obvious members of the southern cabal to keep the Federal government from exercising its proper muscular powers.Orville Browning said:“One of the greatest perils which threatens us now, is the tendency to centralization, the absorption of the rights of the states and the concentration of all power in the general government. When that shall be accomplished, if ever, the days of the republic are numbered.”

Yes, these statements were around the time frame when the Federal government was considering overthrowing elected state governments and replacing them with military governors and then requiring those non-states to ratify the XIV Amendment in order to regain admission to the Union.Very interesting. It's completely in keeping with your remark to me the other day that we'd inherited our suspicion of standing armies from the British...
And if these "military districts" were not states, how could they be required to adopt a Constitutional amendment?The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government."
