Now, remember your manners. As Rhett said:

"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."

[groanup]

The North profited from the slave trade and then from the tariffs imposed on the fruits of the slave labor. But the Southerners are the only evil ones. Go figure.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

I'm sure there's more to southern culture than the Confederate flag, segregation and slavery. Why not accentuate the positive?

[stand watie]

TRUE!

loyal southrons call those creatures SCALAWAGS.

only whalespit isd lower than a scalawag.

well, you know, I tell everyone from "up north" that a Southern lady will never say to your face what she can say behind your back.

longing for the old days...that's why I take a once-a-year sabatical to the old family farm, and sleep in a cabin converted from a tenant's house, and watch the sun set, and walk the fields, and swing on the porch while the bulls fight in the pasture. Now, that's getting a dose of the good stuff.

"No kidding. Without the south we wouldn't have anyplace to ship our old folks to"

OUCH! (Missouri now in Flori-DUH)

[peacebaby]

[billbears]

And I imagine it will be sanitized beyond all recognition.

When you can buy pierogies in Jacksonville, Florida and Potato latkes in Blackshear , Georgia, Borscht in Bayview,

Say what? Anybody ever shot a pierogie for dinner? Is that anything like those nauga's they use for furniture covers?

[River_Wrangler]

It's amazing how quickly people forget. Secession was at one time viewed as an absolute right retained by the people of the various states, a fact undeniable since it was an act of secession that gave birth to our nation in the first place. Today, anyone who believes that states have a moral and constitutional right to secede is looked upon with the kind of disgust and contempt normally reserved for the criminally insane.Texas still has the right to secede. It was part of our agreement to remain in the union. Hmmm---food for thought.;>)

[Red Phillips]

How was it settled by force of arms? Surely you are not suggesting that might make right.

One thing that really irritates me is people who think it is big of them to concede that States had a right to secede but that the issue has been settled. That is liberal "living, breathing" Constitution crap. If the States had a right to secede, which they did, then they still do. And us Southerners ought to get on about it. Might never make right.

We Confederates also had to fight 200,000 Germans who couldn't speak English.The Union had NO RIGHT to to oppose the Secession,,,that's right,,the Union is still rewriting the Constitution. 03\04\04 a day to remember.
