There's no Dixie, except on toilet lids and paper cups.

Add "Dixie" beer, "Dixie", GA,, "Dixie" County, Fl., and "Dixie" Darling bread.

This is to all of y'all yanks and PC jerks: There's no Dixie? Then what do you call the former Confederacy (besides the generic "south")? It's still Dixie and always will be. Just because our government was trampled by yours, doesn't mean it isn't Dixie anymore. Dumb yankee. Business all across Dixie are named for Dixie, the same way you would name a business after the town it is in, as in Macon Auto Parts or Atlanta Bread Company. We're not only still here, we still fly our flags, though not officially. Y'all are just mad because one of ours told the truth about your great leader. Though I don't support the comparisons to Stalin, Hitler, and Mao, the article is pretty much on the mark. A study that goes beyond government school propaganda text books will show this. It was necessary to lionize Lincoln to cover up what America lost in terms of limited government. Why was the US government afraid to prosecute Jefferson Davis? So you say that it wasn't written that the states had the right to succeed? Tell me, Where was it written in 1861 that the states didn't have a right to succeed? It was generally believed to be so by most Americans, North and South. Our founding fathers stated it quite clearly. The South didn't betray the North. It was our right to leave, and the North betrayed the South by sending troops to Fort Sumter. It is true that Dixie fired on the Northern troops, and did so because they were trespassing. The large government VS small government arguement still rages in the halls of congress, and as the correct side loses, we all slowly lose our freedoms one by one. Only the political parties involved have switched sides. The elephant and jackass fight it out while the real freedom lovers, the libertarians, sit on the sidelines.
