1 Yeah, the slave-master and his minions want to free the slaves from the eeeeeviiils of capitalism so they can enjoy the chains of his beloved communism.

2 No, Mr. President, it took a WAR and the formation of the Republican Party to free the slaves. If you and your ilk had their way, YOU would still be a slave!

No. He would never have been born. Obama is not the child of slave ancestors. Without the civil war, there would have been no "guess who's coming to dinner" moment in Obama's mother's life. She wouldn't have been getting knocked up by an African student just to show how unbiased she was.

Of course, there were some slaves who did not wait for a government beneficator to give them their freedom. They took it upon themselves. Some by earning it and some by taking it.

4 I think that it could be argued that the slaves are still not free. Their are some people that seem to not understand the concept. Witness the crowds at the Superdome following Katrina. They were lost without someone the take care of them. You did not see this in Mississippi or for that matter following the almost equally distructive storm that occurred west of NO a few weeks after Katrina. In fact, many involved in that storm rejected Federal and government aid.
