<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>One, it's a liberal news site. Two, the real comparison is today's conservatives with conservatives in our heyday, like during the Civil War.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>The article states that had the FOXNEWS people been alive then, they would have been as conservative as the conservatives of the day and would have bashed our great (liberal) presidents for their history-making actions. Hey, I figured that since I posted an article fron NRO, I should post one from a liberal website like commondreams.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>I disagree. There were plenty of people that agreed with slavery back then. So much so that it started our civil war.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>I think that it's supposed to be a whole play on the "liberals hate America" B.S. that FOXists and dittoheads spout off. The author turns the same argument against them.</div>

[ManaMan]

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>I think you misunderstood me, I was saying that they were liberal *because* they were against slavery at that period of time.</div>
