Donating to the CWT isn’t an ‘’argument’’, I know that and I wasn’t directing it at you necessarily, though you could donate if you wanted to. I was directing it towards ‘’central va’’ and have been for some time but he always avoids the issue. Whats my problem? My problem is with Confederate losers like you romancing a dark and ugly time in America, a time you really know nothing about. You think you do but you don’t. You’re living in a land that people the world over literally DIE trying to get to and all you can do is bitch and moan about how terrible it is and try and apply a socio/political template from 150 years ago to the present that makes no sense. And as to The Civil War Trust? For all this f’ing “Southern Heritage’’ (i.e , The Confederacy, Confederate ancestors, Civil War battlefields, etc. ) you all go on about like it’s so glorious and enduring, and sacred well I’m here to tell you bub THEY”RE DISAPPEARING!! OKAY? Developers and big corporations want to bulldozer it all over and make ‘em into Walmarts and Marriot Hotels. You okay with that? I’m not. I’m trying to get you jackasses TO CARE! Politics aside if these battlefields disappear for good than what do we tell the future generations? “Well, you see over there in aisle 3, that’s where General Picketts men began their charge’’. Sound okay to you? Not to me, bub, not to me. Donate damn it!
I guess trying to apply a political template from the the 1770-80s to today's present politics makes no sense either. We should just forget about what the founders thought and stood for and embrace our new socialistisc big government. It is obvious that no people anywhere have the right to declare themselves free from a government they don't like. It must not be a fundamental right anymore. It was wrong for the south to seceed and form its own governemnt, so it must have ben terribly wrong for the states of the former Soviet Union to leave the USSR too. And it must have been wrong for Panama to seceed from Colombia. And of course the Founders of this country were wrong to seceed from Britain.
Look bud. Either secession is a fundamental right as mentioned in the Declaration of Independence or it is not. If the South was wrong for seceeding and had no right to seceed, than the colonies had no right to leave Britain, Texas had no right to leave Mexico, the former states of the soviet union had no right to leave the USSR, and Panama had no right to leave Columbia, and south sudan has no right to leave north Sudan (as they are trying to do right now). Which is it?
big corporations want to bulldozer it all over and make ‘em into Walmarts and Marriot Hotels. You okay with that?
Of course not. But that is not what we are arguing about. You are just using a red herring to attack others because you cannot come up with a real comeback to the facts and principles stated.
