"based on what I knew then, I would vote for him ten times out ten."

Obviously WP didn't know much then.But that was 10 years ago, kinda like the Civil War ended 137 years ago!

Time to move forward against the enemy WE face.(liberalism)

"I won't get drawn into North vs South bs"

Good to see you Yanks accept the blame fer yer forefather's tyranny...very big of you.

My family came to this country in 1872, fleeing the TYRANNY of Tsarist Russia.

I accept the blame for NOTHING.

"My family came to this country in 1872, fleeing the TYRANNY of Tsarist Russia."

My family's tree is much more eclectic than all that, my FRiend, but I do know my kin never owned a slave or fought in the War Of Northen Aggression.

I share yer unwillingness to accept blame fer shit I didn't do...MUD

[stand watie]

ole' wp doesn't know much NOW, either;for one thing he's STILL a scalawag.

the hatefilled,arrogant, ignorant,hateful,racist,anti-semetic,loudspoken damnyankees AND scalawags are STILL the enemy of LIBERTY-LOVING people.(BTW, being northernborn no more makes you a damnyankee than it makes you a plumber!) damnyankees are NOT born, but are MADE;they are BIGOTS!

Please, my FRiend, no name-calling on the Black threads...MUD

"i'd sooner hug a skunk than a damned scalawag"

You ever hugged a skunk, OL' MAN?!! No?! Then YOU Don't Know What Yer Talking About!! SHADDUP!! This is a NO-POLITICS Thread...ROFLMAO!!!

Louie summed it up best when he called it, "KinderrGartenKrap!!"...I miss him and his loving taunts...I really do!!

[conservativemusician]

If damnyankees are made and not born, could one be made in say....Georgia, the Carolinas, Virginia, Louisiana? Or are they only manufactured north of the Mason-Dixon?

I have no use for arrogant, hate-filled, anti-semitic, loudspoken bigots no matter where they are from.

You see, it's the yankee reference that can be construed as offensive. I hate the Yankees. I'm a Met fan.;)

BTW. I never knew scalawag was such a derogatory term. I really like it.

[stand watie]

you mean i can't IDENTIFY persons as damnyankees,scalawags and klintoon-worshipers????

perish the thought! this is FR after all! the home of TRUTH & conservative thought.

a scalawag is the dixie-born equivalent of a damnyankee;both are hatefilled,racist,frequently anti-semetic,arrogant,ignorant,loudspoken & UN-welcome any place DECENT folks gather.

NEITHER are born that way. BIGOTS are MADE.

to put a finer point on it, wee willie klintoon is a scalawag, whereas hitlery "the blonde witch project" klintoon is a damnyankee! BOTH should be exiled to any country that is dumb enough to take them!

Thank you for the clarification.

Same species, different region.LOL

[stand watie]

by jove, you've got it!

may i gently add that a damnyankee is not NECESSARILY a turncoat/traitor/enemy collobarator to his/her native state & place of birth;that is the VERY ESSENCE of the scalawag.

NOTHING worse can be said of a southernborn than that he or she is a scalawag! NOTHING!

"If this foray into revisionist history isn't sufficient to attract more Blacks to Gettysburg there may be a need to bus them in from other National Parks..."

So much for the "color-blind society" - we've now gotta have racial quotas imposed on national park visitors.

Have YOU met your QUOTA today?

Whadda load a crap! Next thing you know they'll be telling how the evil white Americans forced the poor downtrodden Japs to attack Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7th, 1941.

"The U.S. National Park Service has embarked on an effort to change its interpretive materials at major Civil War battlefields to get rid of a Southern bias and emphasize the horrors of slavery."

Yes. The National Park Service wants to be politically correct here. They must continue their Reconstruction efforts for the South...Why, them dern Southerners, don't they have all the nerve. They is so ungrateful! They jist ain't happy that cold, cruel, power monger, saint Lincoln whipped 'em...
