Owner59 -> Slavery crap dropped from "Marraige Vow Pledge" (7/10/2011 8:19:04 PM)

The "slavery wasn`t so bad" part that wilbi was to cowardly to admit to on the preamble, has been divorced for "pledge".
The guy with the bad hair, Vander Plaats,is the uber-douche behind the "pledge".
"Yeah, you know there weren't as many American jobs going overseas in 1860. And the price of gas was something just about everyone could live with, too. Nevertheless, while I understand the point the Family Leader wants to make about marriage, it seems to be many, many bridges too far to include this passage. As Adam Serwer succinctly put it: "A good rule of thumb for empathizing with black Americans is avoiding suggestions that we were better off as property."
I was interested in seeing who possibly would beg to differ with Serwer's premise. But while Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum (predictably) were quick to pledge their fealty to "The Marriage Vow," The Family Leader has had a quickie divorce from the 'slavery passage.' Didn't want to stay together for the children, The Family Leader? Oh well, it may have disappeared from the pledge, but the internet never forgets."
