John Brown was a psychopathic idiot but the PC side of this argument you've aligned with treats him as a prophet.

I'm glad Brooks caned Sumner. Wish he coulda caned all the RRs of the day.


I'm Southern and make no excuses to any of ya'll whose water we have to carry to keep this nation from falling into the abyss.

Respectfully.

yes I knew that but the public school PC koolaid drinkers here who think race trumps any evil ever known to man would never know such nuance.

my point is that the "damnyankee cause" was a FARCE, a POSE, a MYTH & a LIE.

that the bluebellies were FILTH and that we southrons deserved to be FREE & left alone to live in a FREE dixie republic.

"war is hell" is a WEAK, self-serving excuse for WAR CRIMES & CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. nothing more,nothing less. (that excuse at Nurenburg got a LOT of WAR CRIMINALS "a short rope & a long drop".)

Your apology is graciously accepted. Who is N-S? I'm new here and don't know all the nicknames and anacronyms.

Non-Sequitur = N-S.

N-S is the Damnyankee Minister of Propaganda.

N-S is the ONLY unionist on FR,who has BOTH a BRAIN & an EDUCATION.

That was a different time, things were as they were. History has been and will continue to be rewritten to suit the victors. The victors will think as they like about the "reasons" and their claims to total "heroism" in every instance. Let them think as they like. I have to assume that the will of God was done for some reason, though quite possibly not for the reason which the victors declare it to be. They'll think as they like. I'll think as I like. I do not speak nor understand certain disrespectful language.

That time is past. I will respect what I wish, and I will not respect what I don't, and give others the quarter to do the same. God will sort it out and at some juncture in the distant mists, He will declare the truths of each man's actions, whether they were noble or whether they were a lie, or somewhere in between.

as usual, you are 100% wrong. GITMO is under long-term lease & has been for over 100 years. the Cubans cash the lease checks every year (it's a source of much needed dollars for them).

Don't you check anything before embarassing yourself? Gitmo is under a perpetual lease, which can be cancelled only with the agreement of both sides. And contrary to your claim that Castro cashes the checks as a source for much needed dollars, depending on who you believe Castro has either cashed none of the checks or else he cashed only the first check. The annual lease of about $4000 probably wouldn't cover his cigar bill much less provide 'badly needed dollars'. Castro wants Guantanamo Bay out. He views it as Cuban territory which the U.S. does not belong on. By those lights I suppose you would support him if he shelled the base into submission. Right?

if lincoln, the TYRANT, had been INTELLIGENT, he would have wished the new nation well & traded with the CSA.

if davis, the TYRANT, hadn't been such an IDIOT, he wouldn't have started the WAR by SHELLING sumter.

And can you please tell me what forms are ok?

Can I want my children to marry other Jews? Is that okay with you? (It's, oooooh, "racism.")

Can I generalize and say that blacks are better basketball players? You know, "White men can't jump," and stuff like that.(It's, oooooh, "racism.")

Can I observe that Asian kids, even ones fresh off the boat, seem to outperform the general population, in academic achievement?.(It's, oooooh, "racism.")

If you have an argument against what I say on the Civil Rights movement in Civil War, Reconstruction & Creating Hate In America Today, make it. The facts cited as to the origins of the movement may be verified. That it embraces a different concept of the role of Government, from what was embraced by the Founding Fathers, is obvious, if you but analyze what was being advocated.

I did not suggest that the concept that all men were created equal was refuse. What was refuse is the smear of the Southern hierarchy. Why don't you read the Declaration of Independence through as an entity, and understand what Jefferson, Adams and Franklin were acually saying. It hardly supports your argument. They certainly were not attacking the landed gentry in the American South. (See Declaration Of Independence.)

btw, anything i EVER said in my whole life is wrong according to N-S, the Damnyankee Minister of Propaganda.

it is the NATURE of a PROPAGANDIST to LIE, as it is the NATURE of a SERPANT to slither.

Thank you for your gracious welcome. I will come to Foxhole and Canteen and say hi!. And thank you for the advice about the flameproof undies. I'm afraid I've already had my lace singed a bit in my short tenure here--I've always been outspoken and its hard to just sit back and lurk while my betters (those here for a long time) have at it. Be well.
