My 2nd great-grandfather was a Civil War Soldier. Grandpa LuckyBogey, Sr., and his two brothers are listed in the muster roll of Company B, 49th Regiment, Georgia Volunteer Infantry, Army of Northern Virginia, C.S.A. of Telfair County, Georgia, known as the Telfair Volunteers.
4th Sergeant LuckyBogey, Sr. was wounded and captured at Petersburg, Va. in April 1865. Grandpa Luckybogey , Sr. escaped from Jackson Hospital in Richmond the next day and as General Lee surrendered, Grandpa LuckyBogey, Sr., , on his own, made his way back home to Georgia. See the History of the 49th Regiment and the 35th Georgia Regiment. (Docstocs Uploaded Files)
...Parker grew up in Winter Haven, Florida, and attended Converse College before transferring to Florida State University where she majored in Spanish Literature. She also holds a Master’s degree in the subject from Florida State.
She is married to an attorney, has three sons, and currently resides in Camden, South Carolina. Parker made news during the 2008 U.S. presidential election when she called on the Republican vice presidential nominee, Governor Sarah Palin, to step down from the party ticket after a series of media interviews Parker learned that Palin did not read the New York Times.
Kathleen Parker envies everything that Sarah Palin has become. Driven by this burning envy, she beclowns herself. This looks even more pathetic than the sycophantic manner in which she periodically humps President Obama’s leg.
With all that having been said, I’ve enjoyed my temper-tantrum and will leave Kathleen Parker to stew in her own acrid juices. She truly ranks as food for the turkey-buzzards. Cleaning up after the likes of Kathleen Parker befits their ecological niche...

That is called “stream of consciousness” writing. Hunter Thompson did it very well.
Does this Kathleen Parker pretend to be a conservative/Republican? Her snide remark about there being “too many Jim DeMints in the GOP” was stupid and unnecessary. This Yankee wishes there were more like him around.
She’s an ASS! And she can kiss and lick mine! Go away BITCH! No one wants you!
I had a great deal of respect for Mrs. Parker years ago before Townhall.com went “big” (and unendurably cluttered!) - back when you could get a good dose of Thomas Sowell and Chuck Colson on a regular basis there. It’s sad to hear her work has gone downhill like this.
You should have heard her on Matthews this evening. So hateful to the South. She says it the rise of the Confederate. We are racist and the real problem we have with Obama is he is Black.... thats it. She was on with some Salon commentator. They acted like they were going to go home with each other after the show. Puke!
She probably wishes he were more like Mitt Romney.
I was flipping by PMSNBC and Chris Matthews and Kathleen Parker actually tried to imply that Sarah Palinn was just like the white woman “rape victim” in To Kill A Mockingbird.
Kathleen Parker is a bigot. Pass it on.
Three of my great grandmother’s brothers were also Civli War Veterans - Two were in the First Tennessee Cavalry and one in the Ninth Tennessee Cavalry- both were regiments of THE UNITED STATES ARMY. The First Tennessee Cavalry was called to Nashville before they could participate in the glorious burning of Atlanta. These three brothers were like 35,000 other East Tennessee men who resisted the tyranny of the CSA imposed upon a region that wanted nothing but their freedom. The local Confederate tyrants actually jailed a Methodist minister in Knoxville because he refused to say a prayer for Confederate success.
I feel the same way Joseph, John, and Thomas Thornhill of Jefferson County must have felt when they were being bullied around because of their disloyalty to the Confederacy.
Who's next? No, what's next? What's next is Ms. Parker can not only kiss your behind, but she can go over and blog where she belongs at Huffie post.
BTW, we are all being bullied.
Hey, Kathleen, stick it in your Yankee a$$.
I commented once that Barry had played the race card much earlier than I expected. It appears that failure to jam the kitchen sink into law before the congressional recess has already moved him/them to the next phase:
First came the Gates fiasco, then the pretend racism found in an Obama-as-Joker reverse image of a Vanity Fair George Bush cover, and now "they're all a bunch of Confederate racists working for the insurance companies".
(That at least concedes that southerners can in fact dress well)
Folks, the left has burned off its political powder and now turns to the base instincts that drive it. Get set for the only counter attack they can rely on - envy, class hatred, urban narcissism, elitist disdain, and (most likely) street intimidation from the Acorn crowd.
(No. I'm not a Southerner - but I slept on the couch last night.)
Southerners weighing heavily on Republican Party

That same rage was on display again in the fall of 2008, but this time the frenzy was stimulated by a pretty gal with a mocking little wink. Sarah Palin may not have realized what she was doing, but Southerners heard the dog whistle.
The curious Republican campaign of 2008 may have galvanized a conservative Southern base, but it also repelled others who simply bolted and ran the other way. Whatever legitimate concerns the GOP may historically have represented were suddenly overshadowed by a sense of a resurgent Old South and all the attendant pathologies of festering hate and fear.
What the GOP is experiencing now, one hopes, are the death throes of that 50-year spell that Johnson foretold. But before the party of the Great Emancipator can rise again, Republicans will have to face their inner Voinovich and drive a stake through the heart of old Dixie.

No, bitch, we need to drive a stake through the heart of fake Republicans like yourself!
This simpleton Parker likes only Upper West Side Manhattan Republicans.
So Palin and Jindal are confederates or you felt like talking about your ancestors?
