  1.  @Viewaholicinfinity  You can ride bitch on Fetterman's Hog but not me. Trump is my "god"? Please! If he was a short man everyone would say he has Short Man's Syndrome.

  2.  @junemac7515  More like surprised that a significant number of people voted for a Communistic legislature. Those of us whose parents and grandparents fled Communism no longer recognize what the country has become. Keep it up. When the government forces the red counties, you know, the ones where our food comes from, to return to the Little House on the Prairie lifestyle and stop feeding the blue cities, then it's everyone for themselves.

  7.  @marykay7878  Your analogy is partially correct. While it's known that alcohol kills brain cells it's also known that time lost is brain lost with stroke victims. Fetterman will never get any "better" than he is now.

  8.  @roscodoggo7456  There was no "strength". It was all arranged. Let me tell you the facts about Mr. Fetterman, coming from a man who's lived across the river from Braddock for decades longer than Fetterman. He moved here from Reading in 2004 to run for mayor, a job nobody wanted. Yes, he ran unopposed. His crowning achievement was getting a now-closed restaurant called Superior Motors to open up. He went on record as wanting to see Edgar Thompson and Clairton Works closed, torn down, and replaced with "affordable housing". Nothing that actually creates jobs. Nothing changed while he was mayor. Nothing. Then one day, Pennsylvania's answer to Napoleon had a falling out with his Lieutenant Governor, and out of the blue Fetterman was selected. Everyone around here went WTF? He was never elected to the position. If you want to read what the state of mind of Pennsylvania's electorate is one only needs to look at Tony DeLuca. Tony died last month yet far outstripped his Republican opponent, proving that Pennsylvanians will vote for a dead man before voting for a Republican.

  16. Why don't you do some research and find out what was going on before 1860? While slavery was an issue it wasn't the only issue. Tariffs and what we call protectionism were far more important to the nascent manufacturing sector.

  20. ​ @jensraab2902 American kids are being taught a deliberately distorted view of pre-Civil War America, if they aren't being taught "social studies" instead. The US government got over 90% of its revenue from tariffs. Those tariffs were there to protect our domestic agriculture and manufacturing sectors from foreign imports. The government wanted southern cotton to go to New England cotton mills but European buyers were paying more money. Lincoln only embraced the use of the slavery issue (read his first inaugural address) after Pennsylvania, with the memory of how the government screwed them during the Whiskey Rebellion, threatened to join the Confederacy and break the Union into two pieces without a railroad to connect them. People who say "Ooh, it was slavery!" are lazy simpletons.

  23.  @jackn8458  What South Carolina did was an act of desperation caused by the North strangling it's economy. The issue of slavery had been gnawing at the fabric of the country since at least 1800 and the constant efforts of the abolitionist entities were making the southern states angry because they had the appearance of being sanctioned by the government in Washington. As I've said, the main cause was economic, but after the threatened succession of Pennsylvania forced Lincoln's hand slavery entered the picture.

  24.  @kerentolbert5448  I have studied the pre-1860 time extensively. Did you know that in 1860 the government derived 90% of its revenue from tariffs? The tariffs were there to protect the domestic agriculture and manufacturing sectors from foreign imports. The North was far more concerned about protection from foreign imports than slavery. I have to give you props for doing the research. Most people never heard of the things you've mentioned and can't be bothered to read them.

  25.  @jackn8458  The federal government has a strong interest in protecting its nascent manufacturing and agriculture sectors. The idea was that the cotton mills in New England would buy the cotton from the south, but since the quality of American cotton was so good the European countries outbid the American manufacturers. To counter this, Washington raised tariffs on exports, forcing Southern growers to receive less money than they would have if the market was actually free.

  28.  @kerentolbert5448  Vice President John C. Calhoun and following a modest revision in 1832 that the southerners deemed insufficient to meet their demands for tariff relief, the state of South Carolina adopted an ordinance of nullification to void the objectionable tariff schedules within her boundaries. After an exchange of pamphlets and declarations that nearly brought the state into a physical confrontation with the administration of Andrew Jackson, Congress adopted a Compromise Tariff in early 1833 that gradually reduced the objectionable rates over a 9-year calendar, to be implemented in stages"

  35. Read about it...the soldiers who fought against the Union were treated better than the putzes being kept in solitary. Apparently, there are no heroes standing up to give us quotable lines, lines like "I regret that I have but one life to give for my country". Nothing like that, or... "Your Honor, today I stand with another group of traitorous insurrectionists, men with names like Washington, Jefferson, and Adams. History proved their cause to be just. Will history repeat itself? Time will tell." You're gonna get it in the shorts from the judges anyway, because what's going on more closely resembles the Soviet Union than a country that believes that "With malice toward none and charity for all" is the way to begin healing these divisions. Hey, it worked once before...
