If this law passes, and by God the South-of-Iowa shall rise again to make sure it does, then I will move to Des Moines, buy a plantation, put them to work in the fields, get myself a few illegals to work in the Big House (cook, butler, footman, nanny, and a guy to do windows), and sit on the porch to hear them sing happy songs about some chariot swinging low, or following the northern star or whatnot. Mammy, where's my slow gin tonic, be snappy now or it's back to the fields for you. Thank ya kindly.

Just when you think you've reached the bottom of the barrel with Republicans.....It's almost as if the barrel doesn't have a bottom to it.

Are you really surprised by this? There are conservatives who still say African Americans were better off as slaves. Think about that for a second. In 2015, there are still conservatives who think black people were better off as slaves. Then there's the actual neo-Nazis, KKK, and other white supremacists in the conservative base, too. I'm not surprised by this at all.
unfortunately, communist countries do the same thing, only worse. they don't just task you to do their work for free, but take everything you own, including pics of your grandmother, and children and anything that isn't nailed down.

All I'm saying is that if they were at least given a choice then I'd be good with it. The system we have now is NOT working.

Just to be clear, you're in favor of slavery?

Don't forget the recurring calls to "glass" the middle east made from many Conservatives either jokingly or seriously.

Oh, they're serious. Remember when the waterboarding & torture scandal hit? They bent over backwards to justify & rationalize it, too.

Which communist countries are you referring to?

a reply to: TrappedPrincess hmmm NO that is not what I'm saying. I'm saying indentured servant which means that their labor for a said period of time buys them citizenship as well as weeding out the ones who want to be here and work vs the ones who want to game tell system.
Ahhh. I see. It sounds to me like you're saying as long as they have a choice, leave or be a slave, it's ok.
Correct me if I am wrong.
