Yeah. This hasn't been fun posting that's for sure. I've never bet a political conservative who voted like it and stood up for the Confederate rebellion. Thought that was a proverbial snipe. Wish it was.
No it did not. If he'd of just kept hammering conservative social and fiscal policy, opposing Clintonism/Liberalism at every turn, he'd of had undying majority conservative GOP support till h**l froze over. It still frustrates me that he blew it like that.
Yep...well, photos of the cabin. Video of the Great aunt and the pot.
Yep, flaming gets us nowhere. Like I said, the Civil War is a neverending debate. We have far more important things to consider!
Though, GOD ALMIGHTY what I wouldn't give for Martin Sheen to have NOT been Robert E. Lee in Gettysburg. I despise that man more than any liberal actor, right up there with Alec Baldwin and Tim Robbins. Three of my favorite movies I can't watch because of socialist liberal radical gutless actors. Hunt for Red October, Shawshank Redemption, and Final Countdown. I resent the fact that I can't stand to watch those movies because I despise those radicals so much. I just don't even want to pollute my air with their voices so I just give up those movies, and others by radical potlickers like them that I can't stand that I know are radical liberal commies. I hate that though. Fortunately, ones like Sean Penn have never made a movie worth wiping with, so nothing lost on ones like them. :)
Awesome. Just thinking about who all used that pot over the years, what it was used for, what was happening in the world all the different times it was used, wow. :) That must give you chills to think of it especially with the family history involved. :)
Yes that's why I shall promptly pretend the last three hours posting on here has not happened. It was a bad dream like the Clinton years. The '06 election is all that matters and destroying what's left of the liberal Democrat party is all I care about. :) *pat on back* all made up all better now. :) See ya tomorrow or whenever I am back on. :) Take care.

Never knew about any of it before 2000....It would have been great to have all that info during high school HISTORY class!
Thanks, BSF! I haven't heard anything from him in a long while.

Did a little reading and I want to see if I make any sense.
It seems to me that in the War of 1812, the British may have created the conditions which led to the problems and attitudes responsible for the Civil War. The British made a blockade of American goods, hurting the American economy and basically forcing the North to become self-sufficient. This action also harbored more bad feelings toward the British. The South did not make any friends by trading with the British, still not seen as an ally, after the War of 1812.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
