" It is just that they know so much that isn't right"

Some people really hate the far left. Although they are wrong on so many issues I try never to hate. More, I feel sorry for their lack of knowledge. I guess their lack of a quality education, mixed with their unwillingness to learn, admit to facts, laws or history that may contradict what ever it is they want to do or say at that particular moment, has held them back.

This morning I posted about the 14th amendment and the reasons for it. I posted

The amendment to the constitution that is so confusing was put in place for descendants of slaves so they could become US citizens. Not to say the slave trade was good, but the slaves were brought in the country under legal (at the time) means. They were under our jurisdiction so they and their descendants could become citizens.

The left went nuts! How dare I admit slavery was ever legal! How dare I ever admit that steps were taken to give former slaves rights after the civil war! How could I think the 14th was drafted to give former slaves rights and not every person born in the US?

What was I thinking? Possibly the facts.

The ensuing Reconstruction Acts placed the former CSA states under military rule, and prohibited their congressmen's readmittance to Congress until after several steps had been taken, including the approval of the 14th Amendment. The 14th was designed to ensure that all former slaves were granted automatic United States citizenship, and that they would have all the rights and privileges as any other citizen.

This is just another example of how the left is often wrong, or lack historical knowledge, yet once one of them makes a claim the echo chamber jumps in and repeats it over and over. I am not sure if the goal was to make me somehow look prejudice or uneducated but I think the facts clear up the issue and put those characteristics where they belong.
