And to tie it back in, if you showed that film to Mayor Wiseman, it would go right over his head.

8. Actually, Cenk, back in the day, lots and lots of Americans |
|
owned land. Many were small farmers. We didn't have much industry at that time. Even John Adams, a lawyer, is portrayed as doing his own chores with his family's animals and land. There wasn't a whole lot of white-collar work either. So, farming and owning land were the rule -- outside the South where slaves did a lot of the work.
Immigrants often came as indentured servants. But once they had worked the price for their passage over here off, they could buy land fairly easily. And of course, land was given to the people who served in the Revolutionary Army as part of their pay.
I'm not saying everyone owned land, but a lot of people did. That was the plan. If you worked, you could save and buy land. There was a lot of land that had not yet been legally claimed, to which legal title had not been awarded. When Kentucky then Ohio, then the Indiana territory and finally the west opened up, even more people acquired and owned land.

19. You are probably right. It probably was intended as a racist statement. |
|
Still -- we must remember that the economic reality of our country has changed a lot since the Constitution was written.

10. Nothing out of the ordinary. |
|
This is a typical small town Republican mayor. They are near universal in the belief that President Obama is a Muslim (and a communist).

Sending the Peanuts Holiday 3-Pack, which includes, "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown," so that Wiseman could claim that he doesn't allow his children to celebrate satanic holidays like Halloween, and Obama was trying to corrupt them.

14. That bit about black people being 3/5 of a person... |
|
I don't think there's any mention of black people (or slaves) in the original Constitution. That 3/5 business was part of one of the compromises that were enacted to delay the Civil War (I'd have to do some investigating to see which one). Another example of what you get when you give right-wingers their way: The South wanted to consider black people as property- not people- except when it came to election time. Then (and only then) they wanted them counted as people so that they'd have more representation in the House.
I know it's nitpicking- Just sayin'.

16. Wiseman needs to be recalled! |
|
The people of Arlington should not stand for this kind of representation. This mayor is an outspoken racist elitist and should be forced to retract his statements or be thrown out of office.
I hope the good people of Arlington will not allow their Mayor to smear their town's name in the national media any longer. If you live in Arlington, start a petition to recall him today!

Please send Mayor Wiseman your holiday greetings at the above address. I hope he receives lots of Christmas cheer! On Palin, on Beckster, on Wiseman? How many ethnic groups do these people hate, and why does anyone still listen to them?
