You're the one injecting regionalism into the debate. In all my posts, I defy anyone to find any criticism of the South, ever. The forty percent of southerners -- the blacks and many poor whites -- who supported the Union during the Civil War -- and then voted Republican as soon as they could -- I praise, while northern Democrats (Copperheads) who supported the rebels I condemn.

What I do is criticize Democrats, then and now. It is not the Confederacy which is to blame for the Republican Party's inability to do more than slow down the Democrats' socialist onslaught, but the veneration for the Democrats rebels of the Confederacy by many Republicans today which allows Democrats to throw Republicans on the defensive on nearly any issue with charges that our motives are racist. I could go on, but I can't be expected to rehash what I spent two years putting into book form. See my website for more.

Show me a real neo-confederate as you call them. Give me an example of one that is currently corrupting the modern Republican party.

Btw...our recollection of the radicals like Thaddeus Stevens whom you praise is a bit different...lol
