"And we look to the sky, to a lone star, shining brighter than all the rest, guiding us to the birth of a child — a child Christians believe to be the son of God; miraculously now, here among us on Earth, bringing hope, love and peace and joy to the world."Quote:

He did not say that he believed it or that it was true (some believe) any more that Niki Haley "not mentioning slavery" indicates she is for it.
Obviously he referenced Jesus (Christ) the son of God. No?
Not sure with Joe. He might have been referring to himself.
My point is, he didn't say it specifically. He didn't even say that he believed it (Devout Catholic).
Niki Haley didn't mention slavery specifically.
Which one got major play on the MSM?
The first state to secede was South Carolina. In their declaration to do so, they "specifically mentioned"
I think she flubbed it, and gave her opponents ammunition. Was easy to say slavery and go onto other things. Sort of like Palin being asked what newspapers she read.Quote:

Wow. How many sons of God are there. Nice attempt at deflection.
Who cares? She should ignore the non-troversy.
Agree.
You clearly missed my point or don't care. I may not have made it clear. That's fair. No worries.Quote:

That is how the states were defined. There were southern states for whom slavery was legal. Northern states for whom it was not. Nobody was saying it wasn't a factor. Haley's statement was innocuous and would not be perceived to exclude slavery except for those who have a reason for it to. Not any more than Biden "excluded" the NAME Jesus Christ. Most people, including me, know what he meant, except those who don't want it to. Those people just aren't rabid, woke liberals. That's all.
It would have been nice for him to be more elaborate. Niki as well.
Good grief. Maybe Nikki should have said "people who were brought here in chains against their will, who many believe it was OK to own as personal property."
Would that have helped?
