Moho, I was focusing on your argument, but I will, here, now, acknowledge that you do have a keen sense of the obvious. We all know that slavery was a fact. That you think triumphantly announcing this a devastating blow is, well, sad.

My point — as anyone reading in good faith knows — was specifically about the 3/5s. No reputable historian will dispute that its intent was to limit the expansion of slavery. It was, indeed, a compromise, but a compromise without which the Constitution almost certainly would not have been ratified.

You, Moho, are like a child who has found an old bugle. You have learned to blow one note on it — badly — and so imagine yourself a bugler. You’re not. To your ongoing embarrassment. Which only you cannot see.

Why do I continue to joust with a blind fool sitting backward on a pig? Because he’s annoying me, and the pig. And, yes, I have now indulged in AD HOMINEM. I’m entitled.

Probably explains why those states aren’t Republican strongholds anymore.

Wrong Moho. Try looking up the conditions of European peasants, their rights, etc. just slavery by another name. Also going further back the institution of slavery in Rome included people of every race. Look up the legal status of Saxons after the Norman conquest of England

You must distinguish between slavery in history, and the kind of slavery practiced in the US for nearly two centuries. Chattel slavery meant that African Americans could in most cases never be free, they had no control over their families or even their bodies. Indentured servitude had limitations, the children of servants were born free. When you make these links, you take what had nothing to do with you–slavery–and make it part of your heritage, to be defended as if it were your culture. When you do that, you are placing yourself in a line of slave holders, not in the line of people who opposed it. Its your choice.

Its ok Moho you simply aren’t as educated as you pretend to be.

LOL. I’ve never claimed to be educated, hillbilly bob. Think about that when you’re crying yourself to sleep over the reeming I’ve give you here. Off with you then.

Actually by calling other people stupid you attempt to make you self look smarter and thus better educated. Yet in fact you aren’t that educated as you fail most often in facts. Instead you resort to your ad-hom attacks like calling me hillbilly bob. That isn’t a reaming (note spelling) in any way. It’s little more then cowardly debate. Like I said earlier you offer nothing but strawmen and ad-homs. Those are false argument tactics that can not be rebutted so when people who are intellectually your better don’t stoop to your level you claim to win. But you haven’t really won because you didn’t even play the game. But for you its much more easy to call people functionally retarded then to be intellectually honest. Now I’m done for the day. I have to go buy a few hundred boxes of Stove Top.

Now WTF does slavery have to do with “smart guns”?

Probably explains why those states aren’t Republican strongholds anymore.

the right to vote by definition

Absurd ignorance. There are several states where felons lose no voting rights whatsoever. In Maine and Vermont, felons can vote from prison, even if they’ve already been convicted previously of a felony. You might as well have proclaimed that you are functionally retarded.
