&quot;   1.I LOVE this North vs. South shit…

2. It doesn’t matter why the war started or ended…

3. Politics has nothing to do with it…

 4. The only thing that matters is that the south fought under the confederate flag, and suffered a humiliating loss…

5. But the people of the south keep glorifying their loss by naming buildings and schools after the losers of the war…

6. Jefferson “LOSER” Davis high school,

Robert E. “LOSER” Lee…

7.Proof that having sex w/ family members doesn’t work…

You should try that rainbow gay-ass flag…At least then the PC Nazis would help you…&quot;



*sighs deeply* this is gonna be a long one

but such is the price of educating the feeble minded 



1.i hate it because I constantly have to correct people like you

2. I am presuming that you have never heard that &quot;war is the continuation of politics by other means&quot;? 

before the civil war, it was completely legal to leave the union at anytime because the united states in its original form was actually a loose alliance of states (state = country) 

now, states were largely autonomous  (self governing for people with your iq) and thefederal government was meant to serve as an intermeddiatary between that states.

all was well untill lincoln comes along with his fresh new brand of totalitarianism that the US had just escaped from in the form of the british empire

and in true liberal form, he starts making arbitrary demands and judgements. 

these demands (that included abolition of slavery) started the war 

3. see 2

4. they fought for the rights that their forefathers had won from the British. only the odd ultra rich southerner owned huge plantations and before the war there were more abbolitionists in the south than in the north, but instead of allowing the south to work out their own rights issues as they were, lincoln bullied the south into a war to solidify his totalitarian regime. 

agarian south population: 9 million

industrialized north population: 23 million


armies 

south: appx 1 million

nort appx 2 million

5. one more qoute that you probably have never heard of &quot;there are some defeats more triumphant than victories&quot; 

agarian south population: 9 million

industrialized north population: 23 million


armies 

south: appx 1 million

nort appx 2 million

6. jefferson believed in the constitution as the only thing that held any real power, when lincoln trampled the constitution he advocated seccession.

most millitary historians agree that R.E.Lee was the greatest American  general ever. he was certainly better than every union general. have you heard of gettysburg? lee&#039;s plans for the battle were tacticly sound, but bad luck did him and the south in.


7. less than 4% of southerners are inbreed 







in conclusion, you are a dumbass, please try not to stain too many things with your supidity during your hopefully brief stay in this life.</description>

		<description>That filthy, rottenflesh eating organisation, the Black Klan (naacp), does not believe in compromise, does not believe in negotiating in good faith with us! These intolerant blackhearts have one thing in mind - obliterating any and all things Confederate! That is all! Nothing else matters! To negotiate with them is to negotiate with Satan himself. 

They have no honour, no integrity, no dignity! They love war, not peace! They give image awards to gangsters and whores, instead of those who succeeded on their own without any sort of gov&#039;t. aid whatsoever.  

Consider these examples of the sheer stupidity the buffoons of the Black Klan. The below can be found at http://www.issues-views.com/index.php/sect/1000/article/1060
In the 1950s, the NAACP had decried the Amos &#039;n Andy sitcom &quot;for not paying enough attention to successful blacks.&quot; But by the 1960s, &quot;black pundits ganged up on Diahann Carroll&#039;s sitcom Julia [about a striving black nurse] for not paying enough attention to poor blacks.&quot; 
It&#039;s hard to believe (or maybe not) that the supposedly prestigious NAACP could have had a beef with the satirical Amos &#039;n Andy show, and today grants awards to rapping, hip-hopping fools, who are among the creators of some of the filthiest forms of entertainment. About this vulgarity, McWhorter writes, &quot;Today many writers celebrate even the nastiest gangsta rap as a vibrant reflection of black culture.&quot; Given the nature of much of black popular music, and the often raw sexual innuendo of some black sitcoms, Amos &#039;n Andy never came close to the lows of today&#039;s black entertainment.   

Compromise with Satan IS NO COMPROMISE! Compromise with the Black Klan IS NO COMPROMISE! Stand your ground, South Carolina, and tell the blackhearts to go perform an anatomical impossibility!</description>

		<description>is anyone familiar with robert e lee&#039;s letter (which i respect very much) in response to a speech given by then president pierce?  what is he saying in the very last sentence ....is it not strange that the descendants of those pilgrim fathers who crossed the atlantic to preserve their own freedom have always proved the most intolerant of the spiritual libetty of others?

i&#039;ve only recently (these past 2 years) begun to seek out and cherish my southern heritage!  i could never read or study or listen to the varying opinions of my past that could ever equal what my heart tells me is true.  i truly love that flag!</description>

		<description>Michael Rodgers, why would you suppose that the opinion of a typical NAACP stooge would matter? You are so naive you allow yourself to be a tool of the NAACP race baiters. Get over it. There is no change to the compromise of 2000 on the horizon. The only ones suffering from the tourism boycott may be garden spots like Atlantic Beach. IRT the ACC moving the tournament that was to benefit Swofford&#039;s homeboys. Actually Jacksonville was the next highest bid to MB. BMW came from the country of Nazis and gas chambers. Did we try to keep them out? Fuji comes from the land that brought us Pearl Harbor. Did we tell them no? Open your eyes little boy, it is dollars that matter and dollars alone.</description>

		<description>Please &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.postandcourier.com/news/2009/sep/24/put-flag-in-historicalcontext/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;read the Rev. Joseph Darby&#039;s op-ed.&lt;/a&gt;  He&#039;s very clearly saying that if SC implements either NC&#039;s solution or Alabama&#039;s solution, then we could close this debate.  No more tourism boycott, no more tournament ban, and no more being defined as South Carolina, where the Confederate flag still flies.

&quot;Sen. McConnell notes that the Confederate flag flies over North Carolina&#039;s Statehouse on selected days of significance, but that display is not continual. Senator McConnell notes that Confederate flags are displayed in proximity to the Confederate Monument on the grounds of Alabama&#039;s Statehouse. That monument, however, is on the side of the building and not in front.&quot;

It ain&#039;t complicated.  We either move the monument to the side and fly Confederate flag(s) around it year-round (the Alabama solution) or keep the monument where it is and fly the Confederate flag only on Confederate Memorial Day (the North Carolina solution).  Choosing either of these options, both of which respect the Confederate soldiers and the Confederate flag tremendously, is what we should do.  I recommend the NC solution.

The &quot;compromise&quot; in 2000 almost completely solved the issue, but we still have a tourism boycott and a tournament ban.  With this final decision, to implement either Alabama&#039;s solution or North Carolina&#039;s solution, we can finally move forward and define and market our state how we wish.  Other states and businesses won&#039;t be able to use this issue to their advantage over us, and we can have more jobs and more economic development.</description>

		<description>Baker, McLeod is perhaps the biggest fraud to offer for public office in South Carolina, which is saying alot. Besides being a member of the KKK, I mean, KA Order, his attempts to portray himself as a humble pretty boy out to help the common man are about as plausible as those of John Edwards. McLeod&#039;s website hilariously says “[h]e’s risen from modest means to build a professional business.” Modest? A third generation attorney who graduated from Woodberry Forest School and Wofford College and who has a slew of relatives in politics, including an uncle who is a sitting member of the SC House and another uncle who was a state senator? His in-laws own Hamrick Mills and the Hamrick&#039;s stores chain. He is a certified blue blood who only wants to help himself. At least that lint-head Edwards started out poor before he became a self-serving fraud.</description>

		<description>Charles, great use of William Wallace. England forced its will on Scotland for many years but now Scotland has its own government again. The thistle is the symbol of Scotland for a good reason.</description>
