Is John Kelly Encouraging the "Good Nazis" of the Confederacy?
This is fascinating. "The White House chief of staff blamed the war on a 'lack of compromise'?" A lack of compromise? The Civil War!
Eric Haywood responded to this in Twitter. He said:
"Black People: hey hi we are not your property
Southerners: yes the f**k you are
John Kelly: damn shame they couldn't meet in the middle"
I mean, that really summarizes it, right?

Quote: " I had been religiously educated as a Presbyterian; and though some of the dogmas of that persuasion, such as the eternal decrees of God, election, reprobation, etc., appeared to me unintelligible, others doubtful, and I early absented myself from the public assemblies of the sect." - Ben Franklin. Letter: " Letter to Dr. Benjamin Rush, Monticello" by Thomas Jefferson, September 23, 1800. " for I have sworn upon the altar of god eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man." Quote: " No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare." - James Madison.
Letter: " Letter to Dr. Benjamin Rush, Monticello" by Thomas Jefferson, September 23, 1800. " for I have sworn upon the altar of god eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man." Quote: " Where the preamble declares, that coercion is a departure from the plan of the holy author of our religion, an amendment was proposed, by inserting the word "Jesus Christ," so that it should read, "a departure from the plan of Jesus Christ, the holy author of our religion;" the insertion was rejected by a great majority, in proof that they meant to comprehend, within the mantle of its protection, the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and Mahometan, the Hindoo, and Infidel of every denomination." - Thomas Jefferson.
Letter: " Letter to Major John Cartwrigt" by Thomas Jefferson, Monticello, June 5, 1824. " We had no occasion to search into musty records, to hunt up royal parchments, or to investigate the laws and institutions of a semi-barbarous ancestry. We appealed to those of nature, and found them engraved on our hearts" Letter: " Thomas Jefferson to John Adams, 24 January 1814". " it is not only the sacred volumes they have thus interpolated, gutted, and falsified, but the works of others relating to them, and even the laws of the land.... our judges too have lent a ready hand to further these frauds, and have been willing to lay the yoke of their own opinions on the necks of others; to extend the coercions of municipal law to the dogmas of their religion, by declaring that these make a part of the law of the land."
Quote: " Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others" - Winston S. Churchill.
