“The more a person needs to be right, the less certain he is...”
So they killed a lot of white English people in order to continue owning their black African people, so they could wipe out the rest of the red Indian people, in order to move west and steal the rest of the land from the brown Mexican people, giving them a place to take off and drop their nuclear weapons on the yellow Japanese people. You know what the motto for this country ought to be? 'You give us a color, we'll wipe it out.'"
Georhge Carlin was/is fucking retarded, just not as much as those who think what he said was true. Japan desrved to get nuked, but so did Germany. Why didn't we nuke Germany? Well if the simplistic morons called progressives are asked its becuse America is racist. The truth is that the fire bombing of Dreseden killed far more poeple than the two nukles did and we didn't have to.
George Carlin was brilliant in his observational humor. He would say things that most of us would immediately relate to, and think "Yes, of course!". The way George could twist his ideas into cognitive, reasonable ramblings was pure genius.
Yes, the US was founded by slave owners.... and voting was originally a privilege for land owning white Protestant men.
The conquest of Mexican land pretty much set the US' views on Latinos in general. Mexico was painted as the antithesis of the US....it was a Catholic country inhabited by people engaging in race mixing. In contrast to the US, which was seen as a land upholding Protestant faith and values and where the purity of the white race was held up as a standard.
Our OP is very true. And we then took more than half of Mexico's territory just so slave owners would have more space to expand into so that the price of slaves would not drop.
And what really forced the Civil War was Stephen Douglass's doctrine of Popular Sovereignty, letting people vote to decide if a new state would be slave or free. Popular sovereignty meant a blood bath, and starting at Lawrence Kansas.
And here in Santa Clara County we have monuments to the last battle to keep California from becoming part of the United States. Californios saw Mexico as corrupt, but they feared that the US would take their land away and make them into slaves. Well, the former did happen, but not the latter.

AOC speaks early in this, about the Amazon matter, and Amazon for some reason is getting a huge federal tax rebate.
