Sorry, I guess I'm not as lofty as thee; I have no latin text and have yet to have a need for it while communicating in the real world.

You don't need a Latin "text." The expression is in the Merriam-Webster dictionary I have at hand - in the English section!

You may not need to know what post hoc, ergo propter hoc means if you intend to pump gas all your life, but if you think you like debating political issues you might have a look at a logic text sometime. FTR post hoc, ergo propter hoc is a particular type of faulty reasoning. I suppose if you like the conclusion you reached it probably doesn't matter to you how you got there, but it does betray your lack of education.

And your arrogance is betrayed in that post; but that's OK, I Love You just the way you are, don't ever change!

Again you fail to address my point of this country being better off today with the REALITY of the north having won the civil war.

Next time you are filling up at the gas station, be sure to ask for me! (That is if you don't mind being seen with the unwashed masses)
