It is well worth remembering these words; as he was signing...LB (frequently known as "Lyin' Boy", as well as Lyndon Baines), Johnson said:
"Once I sign this here Bill, we [democrats] will own the blacks forever!"
The sad fact of the matter is that he was, and still is, right about that.
I've searched for this on the internet many times, yet cannot seem to find a political party, a fringe group, extremists, etc. who support the repeal of the 13th amendment.
(And no, I by no means condone slavery)
Has anybody heard of one?
The radical left wing (and I am sure much of the Democrat Party) aren't far from this...And it would include the whole working class and those that don't religiously agree with their policies (irregardless of their race or ethnicity).

So Glenn Beck told you about our "secret plan", did he?! OK, I confess, "the radical left wing (and much of the Democrat Party)" are secretly in cahoots to round up all the 'wingers and teabagger "robots", for reprogramming to do Obama's evil Socialist bidding!
It's true, and soon you will just be another one of our slaves (although we do promise to treat you better than your current "masters", the Neo-cons, "think tanks", & the Fundies).... bwa-ha-ha-ha!!

He certainly wasn't a Dixiecrat, but the only presidential candidates anyone knows for sure he voted for are Kennedy and LBJ.
Yep the same president who authorized the extermination of the Sioux by Sherman. Lincoln will burn in hell.
LOL! "authorized the extermination of the Sioux by Sherman"? Was this before or after he was assassinated?
(I think you're talking about the Sioux Uprising in Minnesota, and Pope. Lincoln refused to allow all 300 to be executed and instead personally and carefully reviewed each situation; "only" 38 were executed, in opposition to the wishes of "the people." )
But that's not the definition of slavery. Slaves don't own their own labor.
When you work but someone else reaps all the profits of your labor, you're a slave. With slavery you get to sit around in the shade, let your slaves do all the work and you keep the money.
In that way, taxpayers are now the slaves. All the work is done by them, their labor is confiscated and redistributed to others who didn't work.
In that way workers are also slaves to corporations, who also own their government.
