Larry Elder is a good man. Is he governor material? Considering how low the bar is these days, and it's kookville California, let's roll the dice and give Larry a go at it. If government can't lead they can, at a minimum, entertain us. It's the least they can do.
This was the standard from Britten ... Slave Compensation Act 1837 Slave owners were paid approximately £20 million in compensation in over 40,000 awards for enslaved people freed in the colonies of the Caribbean, Mauritius and the Cape of Good Hope according to a government census that named all owners as of 1 August 1834 Maybe if the US had offered to compensate for the loss of assets of making slavery illegal...The civil war would have less support in the South The USA in effect applied Eminent Domain without compesation
Age is always an issue...last election was between two old guys so GOP could not whine about age and neither could Dems...
Those poor slave owners....funny your only post about slavery is to offer support for the slavers and not the slaves.. Oh...and sorry to burst your racist bubble but freeing slaves was about recognizing them as people and not property so no taking at all. Wow....a new low for you claiming blacks were still property even after they were freed. Tell us all when you finally accepted black people as people or were you in the Jim Crow era fighting it every step of the way.
Emancipation Proclamation declared all PERSONS enslaved were now free... Did not say property... Only racists fucks then and now considered them property so there was no taking... Damn this site has gotten dumber
There was actually loads of attention put on age in the last election. It worked in Trump's favor and he held up in that regard. Biden did not but covid and Jim Clyburn rescued him. Bernie and his age got looked over plenty too. It worked against him at times- especially after the heart attack- but he mostly redeemed himself through stamina on the trail. Joe, nope. His handlers arranged his election for him. At no point did he overcome his personal limitations.
You make up facts because you have no legitimate response Freeing slaves was about changing them from property laws rights to citizen rights (13th amendment) After the 13th amendment ex-slaves were full citizens and not property It took 3 amendments to get former slaves full citizenship protections and it was Reconstruction that the federal government used to try to provide a fair system in the South Unfortunately the Democratics eventually won the Jim Crow war and ever since has worked to keep the former slaves and their descendants under the boot of Government
Kook-ville California, the worlds what 9th largest economy, largest military service state, largest tax contributor, home of entire technology industries, movie capital of the world. What the hell are you all talking about? Maybe California should be more like Oklahoma? California is the reason why Oklahoma is not a third world country. Get a clue. These right wingers are crazy. They have no idea who pays the freight and keeps this country on top. Larry Elder would be the worst thing to happen to California. I don’t get how right wingers don’t understand American power comes from those “kooky” lefty states. It would help nobody if someone like Larry Elder tried to run California. It would be just as big of a disaster as when Trump tried to run America.
Incorrect. Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation only freed slaves in those states in rebellion. Congress freed the rest later.
You should watch the movie Lincoln. When Lincoln is debating the emancipation proclamation with his cabinet is an amazing legal analysis. Lincoln struggles with the idea of property in the form of humans but as commander in chief he has the legal authority to seize all property for the necessity of war. And it is under this legal power that the emancipation proclamation held legal.
