ORIGINAL: Real0ne you mean like Jefferson right? In Jefferson's time it was accepted that all men were slaves (to monarchs). Jefferson worked to change that, and more change would come later A major part of what makes America so exceptional btw, we freed humankind Bullshit, we have been exploiters just like every other major nation. The British abolished slavery almost 100 years before the Emancipation Proclamation and the 13th Amendment. And the French before the British, I think. The British and the French were ruled by tyrants, their populations ruled over as subjects of their respective crowns prior to America showing the way to freedom They both were ruled by Parliaments after 1789. The British before 1776. The American Declaration and Constitutions grew out of British political philosophies. We were the first in the modern world to limit government and enshrine inalienable rights for citizens into law and we conveniently limited the definitions of "citizens" to exclude women and non-land owners. Of course leftists are trying to reverse that, and make citizens slaves to all-powerful governments again What do you mean by "Leftist governments?" May I have some examples, please? Ironic, isn't it, that people like you drive the modern pro-slavery movement My eyesight is getting worse; I can barely drive a car. (See also the part of the post you replied to that you didn't highlight in bold font, and quit trying to change the meaning of my posts). weak-ass, motherfucking, cock-sucking, scum-dumping, simple-minded, confused, and utterly transparent straw man
