Being a newbie here, you haven't realized that the confederacy is very much alive in the hearts of southerners--especially southern freepers. Why don't you stop listening to that propaganda line fed to you by the mainstream press and publk skewls and educate yourself before belittling the struggle for limited government.
Ever since Reconstruction we have heard the belly aching of the white people of the South whining about how the rest of America does not understand their heritage.
Back in the 1960's we did not understand the Southern heritage of forcing African Americans to ride in the back of the bus and we did not understand that proud heritage of segregation of public schools. We did not understand the heritage of turning fire hoses and police dogs on the Freedom Marchers and did not understand the heritage of white Southerners burning down African American Churches. We did not understand the heritage of the white people of the South not permitting African Americans to vote and do not understand why you would pay alliance to a system that oppressed people simply because the color of their skin.
Not only did the White people of the South lose the Civil War but they lost the war of Civil Rights! The next war they will lose will be the war of Demographics when the White Folk become a minority in the South! When that day comes I hope the African Americans who are in power have more intelligence and compassion then your heritage.
