Well, as Mr. Truman once said...”I don’t give ‘em hell, I just tell the truth and they think it’s hell.”
That’s the interesting thing about war and ideology...it usually exists on both sides, motivates people and never dies off. So it was in the first Civil War, so it would be in the second. It just waits for a chance to come around again.
If the Federal government decides to impose its will on Conservatives, there might be quite a few strange bedfellows, I think.
You apparently haven't spent much time on Civil War threads posted around here.
