You're so adept at reading only what you want, denial at such a degree is a rare skill.

In France, we call such people "imbéciles heureux". Happy fools, if you want. So out of reach that they stay in a permanent state of contentment. Not an insult, just a state of mind.

No. He's definitely for real.

Thank you for giving Harrier an additional angle of argument to pursue.

So far Harrier has been asking two questions.

Did the Mexican War contribute to the subsequent Irish population in California?

Was the Mexican policy towards the Native American population in Alta California preferable to the American policy, and would some of those native nations survived had Mexico won the war?
You're welcome. I find the discernment of facts to be indistinguishable from accuracy and one can only know that with mental elbow grease. I would recommend that you add to your perspective on the bible's view as "what you believe" rather than fact. All people are entitled to their own opinion but not their own facts nest pa?

BTW from my reading the brutality towards the native peoples by both groups was horrific. America did not want slaves, Mexico did.

It is not anything for Utah citizens to be happy about - in fact the state of Utah is rightfully appealing the criminal judge's decision.

The state of Utah is the victim of judicial tyranny, in a blatant violation of the U.S. constitution, just as were us citizens of California not long ago.

BTW Utah filed an "emergency appeal" to stop the weddings. Justice Sonia is expected to refer it to the full SCOTUS. Utah stated in it's brief that "chaos" has occurred due to all the weddings.

Lions Tigers and Bears ! Oh My!

The slavery question is another good angle, and there were people in the U.S. who wanted California to be a slave state - they were called Democrats.

You have made clear why the Mexican War is such an interesting, yet often overlooked, period of U.S. history.

Harrier has researched and given a speech about the San Patricio Battalion, who were Irish-American defectors from the U.S. Army who fought on the side of Mexico during the Mexican War.

You can add that belief to your other hysterically funny mythical beliefs.

It's always an occasion to rejoice when freedom and justice for all widens. Always.

And please, notice I said "for all" so that doesn't mean freedom to do anything, I'm beginning to see your way of arguing.

And it seems you don't have the faintest idea about what tyranny is. Even if I'm too young to have lived this of course, it's a lot more ingrained in my conscience and my culture, as a citizen of a continent that has known absolute monarchy, nazism, fascism and stalinism.

Count yourself lucky that you don't know what tyranny is. But that shouldn't keep you from educating yourself and stopping making outrageous fallacies.
