As long as we are going through forum changes, shall we petition Mr. Robinson to put Honest Abe back on main page for our Neo-Confederates? They do, after all, choose to post all their drivel about the "evil yankee Republican" on a site run by a California GOPer. This is Reagan, Lincoln, and Keyes country. Maybe they should start their own forum for people with their POV....maybe Jimmy Carter, Woodrow Wilson, Gale Norton?? ;-)

I like most Southerners personally its just the revisionist history of the more militant neoconfederates really pisses me off.

That would be funny. :^)

Yes, I've pointed that out to them. Most FR members fit the profile of the types of Americans they despise. LOL

The point about the participants in the Civil War having respect for one another is a good one. I wonder what General Lee would think about someone who calls the brave men of the 1860s scum, trash, and all the other names they come up with, after 140 years, no less. I don't think Lee would have much in common with them.

This is Reagan, Lincoln, and Keyes country. Maybe they should start their own forum for people with their POV....maybe Jimmy Carter, Woodrow Wilson, Gale Norton?? ;-)

That's probably what they tried to do just like some of the one-issue conspiracy cases we had here that tried to start their own site, and didn't get very far. Why run your own revisionist site with just a few members when you can flood an established conservative news forum, with hundreds of thousands of hits per day, with your one-issue agenda BTTT as much as possible. The separation of "New/Activism" from "General Interest" has alleviated some of this. I suppose they'll start posting their 140 year old subjects on News/Activism though. LOL

They've done such a good job mariginalizing themselves with their extreme language that I quit debating them (and in so doing, quit bumping their threads to the top). I don't want to get in the way of them hanging themselves with their own rope. :^)
