What was the civil war fought over?

do you know what the #1 reason to vote Conservative is if you're Christian? So you don't have some idiot in Washington spending your money for you.
Yeah, you have some idiot in Washington spending the same amount of money for them. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif Democrats in washington want to spend the same amount of money as republicans. One spends money to help the entire populace of this country while the other spends money to help the rich. There is no doubt the republicans have the redneck south under their belt because of issues like gays and abortions.

 
That has to be one of the funniest, and most ignorant things I've ever heard anyone say. Christians don't vote Conservative because they hate gays. Most Christians don't give a **** about that. Opposing abortion is a valid reason to vote Conservative but do you know what the #1 reason to vote Conservative is if you're Christian? So you don't have some idiot in Washington spending your money for you. You want to keep more of the money you earned so you can help a neighbor if you so choose. Jesus never spent a bunch of other people's money for helping anyone. He did the helping all by himself. I would have to say that people like you who think they know, but don't have a clue are what's wrong with this country. You are every bit as bad as the rednecks you hate.
I didnt say all christians. I said stupid Christians. I have grown up and lived in a conservative town where everyone has their blinders on thinking that their way is the only way. They do care about gay people and thats fine. I can agree that they shouldnt get married, but neither should people who have been divorced or cheated or have open relationships. Marriage is a religious covenant and if you are going to uphold part of it you might as well uphold all of it. There should be civil unions for everyone so the legal rights are the same. If you want to get married, go to your church or mosque or whatever and do it on your own time, independent of the government.

Its fine if you vote on the premise of gay marriage and abortion but that shouldnt be your primary reason for a candidate and for many of the people around here it is.

From what you said I would have to guess you were one of the people who voted bush and cheney in for a second term. They are the reason you dont have ****in money "to give to your neighbors", that is the biggest load of horse shit i have ever heard. You giving out money? I could use some. If youre throwing your cash in the tithing bin then youre only paying for a bigger steeple. Churches bring in more profit than just about any other business. I think the money could be better spent. Instead of building some giant ****ing church why dont we spend it on the homeless or some shit.

Anyone else here watch Glenn Beck?

 
More importantly, how long til the next civil war breaks out?
It won't, because slavery is no longer an issue.

Ive already explained why the issue of slavery broke down the way it did geographically. I hope you have something better than that, or this is gonna be a short troll thread.
I know why the southern states were more attached to slavery. I know it's because their economies were based on agriculture while the north was turning to industrialization. But frankly motive is irrelevant.

look at the new science text books spilling darwinism... even though they still have not and can not prove it.. its still a theory but they teach it like its fact.... but the idea of some sort of intelligent design is strictly not referenced anywhere.. that is proof about the biased information in the history books and all our educational books.
Yeah, the bias towards fact, logic and reason. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif And no, you can't prove anything that happened in history beyond humanity and we never will, but it has an enormous amount of evidence. About as much evidence as it has more than the evidence of the farce intelligent design is.

I can agree with that too an extent. To be honest, there wasn't just any one cause but if you want to break it down to one definite reason or another, it was simply over a ego. One person wanted it one way and another a different way.
Yeah, the south wanted slavery and the north wanted it phased out.

It all ends up boiling down to states fighting for their rights, what they believed in and what they were willing to fight for.
right. states fighting for their rights to own slaves. States fighting for their belief in slavery.

And they were also fighting for what they were willing to fight for? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

In the end out can come up with all these reasons the south seceded that make slavery circumstantial, but it all leads back to slavery. If this country never had slavery the civil war would have never happened.

 
Union: "wtf why won't you listen to us, our way of thinking is right"

Confed: "because we want to do things our way..if your going to be like this...we're just gonna leave"

Union: "not if we kill you! Then you'll have to stay"

To the union's credit, they only had to kill about half the confederates until the rest decided leaving wasn't a good idea.

idk how that works, "if you try to leave, I'm going to kill you...ok, now support my government while your here"

 
Yeah, you have some idiot in Washington spending the same amount of money for them. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif Democrats in washington want to spend the same amount of money as republicans.

That is your lunatic kook point of view. It's not accurate and is not true. Thanks for reinforcing how stupid liberals actually are.

 
From what you said I would have to guess you were one of the people who voted bush and cheney in for a second term.
Why? I've said nothing about either of them. You are making an assumption based on nothing in order to stereotype.

They are the reason you dont have ****in money "to give to your neighbors",
No actually the bush tax cuts saved my quite a bit of money. You're quite wrong. plus, obama spent more in his first 100 days in office than have been spent on the entire iraq war so... you have no point here.

that is the biggest load of horse shit i have ever heard. You giving out money? I could use some.
Then get to work. You're on an internet forum instead of at a job. I have no sympathy for you.

If youre throwing your cash in the tithing bin then youre only paying for a bigger steeple. Churches bring in more profit than just about any other business.
I'd like to see some evidence that A) churches are a business and B) that they make more money than any business.

I think the money could be better spent. Instead of building some giant ****ing church why dont we spend it on the homeless or some shit.
The churches where I live actually do spend it on the homeless. I don't know what you're talking about... but it sounds like you don't either.
Anyone else here watch Glenn Beck?
Lol u watch glenn beck?
 
That is your lunatic kook point of view. It's not accurate and is not true. Thanks for reinforcing how stupid liberals actually are.
So you think the south is overwhelmingly republican because of the republican's perceived fiscal conservatism?

 
I understand the cival war was not mostly about slavery, but the rebel flag was the confederates flag and they supported 100% slavery. So there is no denying that the rebel flag is indeed supporting that type of lifestyle correct?

Now i also realize that today thats not what most people who use the flag mean, but is the above right?
