Bachmann stands by claims that ‘Founding Fathers’ ended slavery
• http://www.rawstory.com/Rep. Michele Bachmann, who officially announced yesterday in Iowa that she is running for president, appeared on “Good Morning America” Monday, where George Stephanopoulos attempted to clarify some of her previous statements.
Slaves, schmaves. Washington and Jefferson didn't have slaves... even though many called them that. They were "indentured servants." There's a difference, you know. It all has to do with how honestly their "Masters" treat them.
These days, with mandatory centralized banking, income taxes, required ID that includes a SSN, required SSN for a job, and a whole bunch of other NON-FREE requirements, like TSA, and certain required medical, illegal weed, can't park on the lawn, etc., etc., we're worse off than Washington's and Jefferson's so-called slaves!!!
Maybe the Founders didn't end slavery, but they did set up the process for it in the Constitution. ALL men are endowed by their Creator....
Plus they amended "life, liberty & the pursuit of property" to "Life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness" to keep the slave states from claiming slaves as property & muddy the waters in any future Constitutional debates n the issue. Talk of freeing slaves had also begun in our Founder's day & some of the few who had slaves set them free.
