Burn any heretics lately, O noble friend?
(Two can play at this game)
Is that what you bring to the table? Tell me you have something more than that!
I feel embarrassed for you.
Here, let me help.
The Confederacy was the principle of limited federal government and states rights. So even though the Confederacy failed, it was a promotion of local government over the far off federal tyranny.
All bullcrap, of course, but it makes a better case than “Burn any heretics,lately?” Oh, my. I'll say a prayer for you.
