Default Reward that s---hole of a country with massive telescope installation??

Ever since Apartheid was eliminated in the 1980's South Africa has
gone downhill. There are now more than 50,000 rapes and murders a year
there. It's crime rate is nearly the highest on the planet. There is
no guarantee it is any more stable than the Congo, or Somalia. And
they want to give it a telescope instead of Australia?

Yep! The Ozzies have their indigenous peoples well under control.

BTW: Have they got the vote yet? ;-)

And let's not forget the decline of America since we freed the slaves
and let the darkies start having a say in things. There was much less
rape and murder before we started interpreting those as things that
could happen to blacks!

A Republican who would surely be spinning in his grave at what passes
as the Republican Party these days!

Comparing Lincoln to modern Republicans is like comparing Jesus to the
Pope.

It's mostly blacks it's happening TO. Liberals always provide their
solutions, and when things go to HELL, they pretend nothing is wrong.
Enjoy the sand you head is stuck in.

Lincoln was primarily interested in saving the Union, slavery was at
best secondary. I doubt than any modern Republican would not abolish
slavery in the same type of situation. Still, Lincoln did free the
slaves.

You should educate yourself, if possible.

Lincoln would have shipped all the blacks back to Africa to achieve
victory in the war. *Don't make him out to be a saint.


Even so, Republicans have generally outperformed Democrats on civil
rights.
