“Ending Slavery” versus “Stopping Washington’s Growth”

Hmmm! From a letter to the editor in The Wall Street Journal on Nov. 30, 2011:

"In 1860, zealous, right-wing Christian conservatives found a home in the Republican Party and helped elect Abraham Lincoln. Stopping Washingon’s growth today should be a great deal easier than ending slavery (and absolutely no moral equivallence is implied or appropriate in that observation)…."

WRONG: There IS moral equivalence, and stating it IS appropriate. 


There are different types of slavery, and they manifest in different ways. Today Washington, D.C. is a wholly disfunctional swamp of corruption filled with lying, self-interested hustlers and hucksters. It is where the Ruling Class lives, and from where they seek to expand and deepen the various types of slavery they have imposed upon the American people while ignoring and shredding the U.S. Constitution. It’s going to be HARD to end their types of slavery. Just as it was hard to end slavery from 1860 to 1865. In fact, it may be harder. Keep that in mind, all of you.
