Sons of Confederate Veterans have a role in modern America

At least not as bad as the lynchings and ghettoizing the northrons did. The difference, we got over it.

Apparently not.

[antisocial]

“I hope their role is to STFU and go away.”

That is my hope for you.

[Lee'sGhost]

Once again you miss the point. What I’ve never been able to figure out is whether it is intentional or due to a lack of cognitive dissection.

[Lee'sGhost]

LOL! As brief a response as it is hollow.

Well done!

[Non-Sequitur]

Once again you miss the point. What I’ve never been able to figure out is whether it is intentional or due to a lack of cognitive dissection.

It's lack of a coherent point to miss.

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

Oh, do explain.

[Lee'sGhost]

Here. I’ll simplify.

It means either you don’t want to understand or you are incapable of understanding. Based on your last question I’m thinking it’s the latter.

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

No, I'm pretty sure that I understand the point that you were trying to make. I've been around these boards enough to see it on a regular basis. It frequently goes along with the argument that slaves were better off in the south than free industrial workers were in the north.

I'm just incredulous at the level of hypocrisy it reveals.

[cowboyway]

See ya around the next Lost Cause thread.

Say bydee-bye, troll.

[cowboyway]

Once again you miss the point. What I’ve never been able to figure out is whether it is intentional or due to a lack of cognitive dissection.

Oh, they get the point but they're living in a permanant state of liberal, PC denial.

[Non-Sequitur]

Bydee-bye.

[Non-Sequitur]

I think that a stirring rendition of “I’m a Lost Cause Freeper” is in order, in honor of Idabilly, cowboyway, and Lee’s Ghost. And also since Friday is the Great Man’s 201st birthday. Will you do the honors?

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

Boy, ol' Stand dropped off the face of the earth again, didn't he? I wonder if that book ever came.

I'M A LOST CAUSER FREEPER
or, The Ballad of Stand Watie

Oh, I’m a Lost Cause Freeper, now that’s just what I am.
For standard capitalization, I do not give a damn.
No tale’s too big to make up, no sources I will quote
And I don’t need no spell-check for anything I wrote.

I hates the stars and stripes flag, I loves the stars and bars
I stuck a big Third National on the bumper of my car
I got a Cherokee flag that I had special made
Most people when they meet me, think I’m touched in the haid.

I hates all things from up north. I really, really do
If Santa’s from the pole there, well then I hates him too.
I’ve been a Lost Cause Freeper for seven years or more.
I only talks ‘bout pancakes, and the late Civil War.

The Yanks killed all my kinfolk, ev’ry single one.
And there’s a captured U-boat on display in Galveston.
Quantrill spelled his name wrong, ev’ry single time
And ev’ry Union soldier shoulda been hung for a crime,

That I’m a protected poster many here can vouch
When Jim Rob comes to DC, he sleeps here on my couch
I can’t express myself in words like normal people do
My fingers hurt from pounding keys, I might have a loose screw.

Three hundred thousand posts here, they all read just the same
And if my facts are incorrect, I will not take the blame
I got it from a book I read, one you cannot find
And don’t you dare suggest it’s a figment of my mind

I’m stuck in these United States, beneath the flag I hate
I sign my posts “free dixie” but am resigned to my fate
I’ll keep on fightin’ my war, on every single thread
I won’t stop actin’ crazy until I am dead

Indeed, northern honor at its finest August 2008, Niagara Falls, New York

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

First off, that's not the fountain in the Niagara Falls case, but I guess they all look the same to you.

Second, are you really going to make a moral equivalence argument between a truck driver taping a hand lettered sign above a water fountain as a dumb joke and real, police enforced segregation of public facilities?

“Too bad they didnt reject and free the slaves so most of the world wouldn’t have to roll their eyes at that statement.”

General James Longstreet, Lee’s right-hand man, reportedly said the Confederacy should have freed the slaves then fired on Fort Sumter.

James Longstreet didn't say that, Tom Berrenger did. And only because the script for "Gettysburg" included it.

“Wiltse found that blacks and whites routinely swam together in the late 1800s and early 1900s. That changed when the migration of large numbers of rural Southern blacks to Northern states triggered a squeamishness among whites over sharing a pool with them.

The professed concern appeared to involve hygiene, and a notion that poor blacks coming from a farming background would have lower standards of cleanliness. Even in public schools, swimming remained segregated long after all other scholastic activities were integrated.”
