In before the “demonize American history” crowd arrives.
And in before the Reb Bashers!
The 14th and especially the 17th Amendments have ensured there is no Tenth Amendment issue.
And regarding the Civil War - we won, get over it ;-)
What about Webb’s pedophile porn literature?
DEO VINDICE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did he ever do an audio book. It would be great to have that particular passage as part of a commercial.
Webb won overwhelming support from black voters 85 percent who accounted for 16 percent of all voters, according to exit polls.

An amazing feat considering Webb supposedly supports a political system that merely “supported slavery”. Are people just too dumb to realize that a federal republic that truly respects state powers is the only alternative to a massive, centralized national government? How can that only be about “supporting slavery”?
Unless he is able to explain it, it would raise some questions, Walters said.
Uh...sounds like he did...several times.And thats just in the article.
[let me get out my catechism:]
Slavery bad
Black folk mad
Any mention of the Civil war which portrays the South in a positive or brave light makes it a support of slavery
The descendants of any southern soldier or worse officer bears a special guilt for fighting for their land.
hmmm
have I missed anything?
oh yeah: rebel flag = swastika
[spit]
jerks
The double standard will once again prevail:
If a Republican (George Allen) shows an interest in the Confederate side of the Civil War, he is a bigot and a racist.
If a Democrat (Jim “I like to write about incestuous homosexual pedophiles” Webb) shows an interest in the Confederate side of the Civil War, he is an historian.
I didn't stop Oklahoma.
“The 14th and especially the 17th Amendments have ensured there is no Tenth Amendment issue.”
Please explain to this ignorant Southerner why that is the case?
However, I do honor the Southern soldier, much as Col. Chamberlain did. Standing astride the Confederate parade at Appomattox, Col. Chamberlain watched the Confederate soldiers marching to surrender their arms and colors. Chamberlain ordered his own men to come to attention and carry arms. I'm reading his memoirs, where he said:
Gordon, at the head of the marching column, outdoes us in courtesy. He was riding with downcast eyes and more than pensive look; but at this clatter of arms he raises his eyes and instantly catching the significance, wheels his horse with that superb grace of which he is master, drops the point of his sword to his stirrup, gives a command, at which the great Confederate ensign following him is dipped and his decimated brigades, as they reach our right, respond to the 'carry'. All the while on our part not a sound of trumpet or drum, not a cheer, nor a word nor motion of man, but awful stillness as if it were the passing of the dead.
Chamberlain recognized, at the conclusion of hostilities, the Rebels were once again Americans, and treated them as such. I'll gladly stand by any Southerners today - besides, I'm quite sure I'm the better shot!
What did you win, noobie? A centralized government that the Founders abhorred?
South Carolina recently passed strict illegal immigration laws. But the federal SC can strike them down at their leisure.
Louisiana had two men on death row for child rape but the federal SC decided that the people of Louisiana couldn't put child rapists to death because it was 'unconstitutional'............. in their opinion.
Is that what you won?
Yes they are.
How can that only be about supporting slavery?
Because that is the politically correct version of the revisionist history being taught to raise the self esteem of blacks and make whites feel guilty which is some sort of perverse restitution.
Should be: It didn't stop Oklahoma................
oh yeah: rebel flag = swastika
Looks like you have it covered............
