It sounds kinda like a law firm. "Good afternoon. Lunatics, Weirdos, Fools & At Least One Outright Bigot. How may I direct your call?"

[usmcobra]

So you are a homosexual too?

It that a pickup line?

[Toby06]

I wouldn't know, I'm not gay, but you seem to be hoping it is.

Have a nice day.

That slavery must be abolished as a federal, rather than a state, law.

[Heyworth]

That slavery must be abolished as a federal, rather than a state, law.

And that mandate was stated where?

[stand watie]

yet another DUMB, pointLESS & arrogantly IGNORANT (also perhaps KNOWINGLY false) post from FR's "class clown 2".

pity that you don''t know that.

free dixie,sw

[stand watie]

YOU are the ONLY one of the bunch who has BOTH a brain & an education.

despite your views (99% of which i disagree with) at least you aren't a DUMB-bunny!

free dixie,sw

[usmcobra]

You asked me first...

I would tend to believe you were trolling for a gay love connection with a dixie boy.

Pity! I know someone that would be just your type, why if you softly whistled dixie in his ear, he'd let you be Sherman to his Atlanta. Just don't say anything about indians.

[mac_truck]

Ouch! That's gotta hurt...

[Colonel Kangaroo]

The Constitution limits the central governments role very specifically, and thats what the conflict was about. The South lost and now what we have is a central government that is involved in our every day life (education, environment, land management, sexual preferences, etc., etc., etc.)

Yes, everything would have been just wonderful if those noble rebs had won. Losers can always say how great things would be had they just won. John Kerry would have made a great president and the slaveowners of the Confederacy would have suddenly become paragons of limited government (for anybody but themselves). I would suggest a study of athe few years the CSA actually did exist to see what a heavy-handed regime they actually were.

I wish that the South would have won!

It wouldn't have mattered in the long run. The North would have beaten them even worse in the inevitable rematch. Under a few decades of Confederate rule the backward South would have lost even more ground to the modernizing North. And the second time, the USA wouldn't have shown the slaveowning elite the misguided leniency that actually characterized Reconstruction.

[Colonel Kangaroo]

Slavery Incorporated's top political crowd instigated the insurrection utilizing sneak attack methods against U.S. forts, which are symptomatic of a typical underhanded bully.

You couldn't expect a fair fight from a from a class of people unable to do their own work without help of people they "owned".

That's why I never tire of reading about the way Sherman's March brought reality back to a class of people whose selfishness led the nation into misery.

[Colonel Kangaroo]

The big government fools 'round here want to focus on slavery, but friend, the South is about family, church, good humor, fried chicken, and sweet tea. I can tell you a million things I love about the South, let those other people focus on one or two bad things. Their loss.

What has that to do with Confederacy? The South and the Confederacy are not the same things.

[Colonel Kangaroo]

Sometimes I think there's a lot of envy of southerners. Maybe that's why we keep being invaded by people who formerly lived in the north.

I'm a southerner. Unless you were a slaveowner, the Confederacy was bad. The best thing for the people of the South was when the CSA lost. The desertion rates toward the end of the war show that the people of Dixie were finally begining to realize the revolution of the politicians was not worth their blood.

[Colonel Kangaroo]

YEP. and they were REALLY "heroic" in that they were BEST at rape/robbery/arson/theft/torture/MURDER, especially of UNarmed, civilian women ,children & babies!

The Union soldiers were really great fighters in that they could do all that and still have time to thoroughly rout our brave lads in tattered gray.

[Toby06]

I asked because you exhibit qualities us hetero men commonly refer to as faggity!

Don't bother me any more, fag.

[usmcobra]

So what you are saying is that your Gaydar peaked an interest in me?

[stand watie]

in other words, like so many others of the "DY coven", you just do NOT condemn the ATROCITIES visited on the defenseLESS???

free dixie,sw

[Toby06]

No interest, just tells me you are gay. This is more my speed:

[usmcobra]

I'm sure you'll look very sexy wearing a confederate flag bikini.

Tell me since it is considered disrespectful to convert a flag into clothing, would you be disrespecting the Confederate flag by wearing it as a mankini....

[Toby06]

It is considered disrespectful to convert a US flag to clothing, but the bikini shown (like those typically worn as US flag bikinis) is merely a representation of the confederate flag, not an actual flag converted. good try.

BTW, I'd bet i had more ribbons & medals on exiting the service than you, if you ever really served.

If you did serve, thank you very much, btw.
