The military will be useless because there will be a race war within it, so its overwhelming firepower is irrelevant. Also spies within revolutionary groups will be useless, because people in the group will be told to act spontaneously and independently. This was revealed in 400 BC by Herodotus in referring to a takeover of the Persian government around 600 BC.

Funny blaming whites for slavery. Muslims (largely African, and Middle-Eastern) sold the blacks into slavery. I believe it was mostly white Christians who stood up against the oppression and freed the slaves. Ironic that the first black president would raise the immigration rate for these very same oppressors by 5x. Makes you wonder if we are headed back in that direction...
In this country, it was also white atheists that owned, beat and raped slaves. In this country, it was also free-blacks, some NAs and Latinos who owned, beat and raped slaves. Christianity was the greatest opponent to both genocide of indigenous peoples of the Americas and the greatest opponent to slavery. But some self-hating white atheists who like to lecture at other whites hate actual history.
I understand there are people who are STILL OUTRAGED that the USA didn't kill 20 million militarized Japanese civilians in a land invasion of Japan - and even are more outraged that Germany and Japan didn't take over the world. YOUR SIDE LOST THE WAR. Tough luck. Every other ethnicity, race and culture had the same attitudes historically in conquest, war and territory acquisition. But you can hate the USA and white Americans to your heart's content and even rant how much you do because that's how freedom works - and because your side lost.
it is astonishing how many liberals and Democrats truly hate the United States, are extreme racists who hate whites, hate nearly all Americans in general and actually believe all they have in terms of wealth, safety and freedom was something they just deserve to have for free because they were born superior - with no gratitude whatsoever towards those before them that made that level of safety, wealth and freedom. They are only TAKERS, not givers. Not stop whiners too. Reminds me of spoiled brats throwing a temper tantrum. They a people who will bite the hand that feeds them.
Too bad atheists participated in so many genocides so gleefully. Too bad Muslims participated in so many genocides so gleefully. Too bad Hindus participated in so many genocides so gleefully. Too bad so many liberals participated in so many genocides so gleefully. Too bad so any socialists participated in so many genocides so gleefully. Too bad so many Taos, European pagans, Middle Eastern pagans, African pagans, Incas, Mayan pagans, Egyptians pagans, Greeks, Romans, Russians... and every place and ideology on earth participated in so many genocides so gleefully.
In Christianity it is permitted to purchase slaves. However, I believe it is clear that they must be freed after 7 years. Exodus 21:2 If you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve you for six years. In the seventh year he is to be set free without having to pay anything. In the Bible, sleeping with a slave was only permitted if you married the slave of her own will. Under the law at the time if you were not married, and you did this kind of thing, you were subject to public scourging and stoning. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bible_and_slavery - for the complete list of restrictions on slave ownership for Christians...) In summary, if someone did something like you describe, they probably were not Christian.
There were only a couple of instances in the Bible of genocides by Jews (pre Jesus, and Christianity). I believe all of these were commanded by God on cultures which practiced ritualistic child sacrifice. If you want to take the time to go into the history books. In modern history, the Aztecs were wiped out by the King of Spain who I believe claimed to be Christian. In fairness to the Spaniards, I believe the Aztecs were also big into human sacrifice, and the army that killed them off was mostly made up of other Indian tribes in the area.
[video=youtube;Vt4z16n-3eU]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vt4z16n-3eU[/video] I grew up watching this TV show and I have great respect for early British settlers who colonised America. There is no doubt that many Native Americans were massacred in a series of wars but it's questionable if genocide was committed. Many white men married with native women in the early colonial era and the British colonisation of America was not as brutal as it has been described in school textbooks.
MY side lost the war? MY family has shed blood for this country in every war it has ever had, including the war that it was founded on. Fake patriotism and chest thumping do not impress me. It just indicates that someone is either infantile or overcompensating for being hung like a hamster - usually both. Don't ever question the patriotism of me or my family - you haven't earned the right. This is a post from another thread, but it's applicable here:
No, it was much more brutal than your school textbooks described. And the British weren't the only ones (or even the first) to do the colonizing and pillaging. The Spaniards were downright horrific, and, after 1789, the Americans were even worse. It was the British who kept their colonists east of the Mississippi. After the American Revolution - and the Louisiana purchase - the central and western parts of North America became fair game, and no red-skinned savages were going to thwart good ol' WASP Manifest Destiny...
So, if you DON'T follow Christian principles then you ARE a Christian? Yeah, that makes sense. Next thing you are going to try to call Hitler a Christian. Even though in his actions of trying to kill off God's chosen people (the Jews), it is obvious he isn't. Oh, wait, you already tried that earlier in the thread... Why not try to post some facts and have a discussion rather than just make wild baseless accusations.
What baseless accusation did I make? Many slave owners were devout Chrisitans. Some used their silly myths to justify their behavior.
