That would be funny. :^)
They do, after all, choose to post all their drivel about the "evil yankee Republican" on a site run by a California GOPer.
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. :^)
Yep. They already thought of that:
NEWS/ACTIVISM
Fighting Facts With Slander [ironic title, eh?]

"... the insufferably sanctimonious Alan Keyes described people like myself , Paul Craig Roberts, Walter Williams, Joe Sobran, Charles Adams, Jeffrey Rogers Hummell, Doug Bandow, Ebony magazine editor Lerone Bennett, Jr., and other Lincoln critics as "pseudo-learned scribblers," with an "incapacity to recognize moral purpose" who display "uncomprehending pettiness," are "dishonest," and, once again, his favorite word for all who disagree with him: "ignorant."
"Ignorant" and "slanderous" is the precise language one should use to describe the hysterical rantings and ravings of Alan Keyes and his minions at the so-called Declaration Foundation."
You're right, it's funny to just sit back and watch these idiots hang themselves with their own rope. In that article, the "true" conservatives mercilessly bashed Reagan, Lincoln, Keyes, and others...then defended "learned Lincoln critics" like ULTRA-LEFTIST Jesse Jackson clone Lerone Bennett, Jr. The latter spends most of time running Ebony magazine-- promoting welfare and making sure blacks stay on the Democrat plantation.
I wonder if JimRob just gives the neo-confederates free reigh for the amusement. ;-)
