Okay, I am sick and tired of hearing that this country is illegitimate because it was founded on slavery. And I am sick and tired of the right not calling out this total bs. Even Rush seems to say that yes we were but because of the civil war we are okay.
It is a total lie pushed by the socialist left to try to convince you that their incredibly stupid agenda is warranted because of our illegitimate past.
People, this country was not founded on slavery. Columbus did not come here so he could own slaves. He could own them in Italy, Portugal and Spain. (BTW he didn’t discover America. You can’t discover a place with millions of people already living there, anymore than I can discover a restaurant with lines waiting around the block.)
The Pilgrims didn’t land on Plymouth Rock with a bunch of slaves. They had none! They came here for religious freedom. They could have owned slaves in England. It was perfectly legal.
None of our founding fathers came so they could own slaves. They could all have owned them from wince they came. They came because they wanted to create a country based on the notion that all men are created equal. Slavery was the way of the world back then.
If this country is illegitimate then so is Puerto Rico where slavery was also legal until 1865, AOC whose mother is Puerto Rican and whose father was born to Puerto Rican immigrants in Brooklyn should resign immediately because of the illegitimacy of her ancestors.
Likewise, Kamala Harris should immediately resign because she has admitted that her ancestors owned slaves and thus her existence is illegitimate. Likewise the idiot calling himself ‘Beto’ O’Rourke because his family owned slaves. Similarly, Barrack Obama should denounce his presidency and it should be stricken from the books because he admitted that his family on his mother’s side owned slaves.
Listen I could go on covering every one of the Squad except for Pressley. The point is that this entire construct is complete nonsense. You cannot look at the world as it is today and claim anything from centuries ago is illegitimate if doesn’t conform to today’s standard.
I guess if the founders didn’t have electricity and running water and computers and smartphones and television and indoor plumbing then they were illegitimate.
Another canard put up by the idiots on the left is we’re also illegitimate because women didn’t have the right to vote at the founding of this nation. Please tell me where they did and then we’ll talk. Women in Puerto Rico got that right in 1919. Bye bye AOC. In England it was 1928. In France it was 1945. In Spain it was 1931. In Mexico it was 1953. And for the Muslim members of the Squad, most of those countries still don’t have it but they do allow throwing Rosie O’Donnell off the roof to her death because she’s a lesbian.
It’s time to stop cow towing to the left and call out their bullshit.
Next rant will be on women of color.
