It takes awhile? Ha! Joke or not, listening to some tell it, you'd think they were in it themselves!

having lived both in the north and the south (being an Army brat), I couldnt care less who won what and where. Things have seemingly worked out pretty well since then IMO ya know?
OOOPPPPPS... that's WELSH not welch
Wow, and I laughed out loud when I read the quote in CQ yesterday. People need to develop a sense of humour.
Better send Senator Graham to the Trent Lott re-education camp right away, or else liberal yuppies from the northeast will no longer regard South carolina as a nice place to play golf.

Only the active combat phase.

Leftist contrived controversy. The left never even brought up the infamous "white n****r" comment by Sen. Sheets Byrd. Selective indignation.
Cool.
General William Tecumseh Sherman is a personal hero of mine.
Quite right.
Even since ole Lindsay got into the Senate, he has turned a lot softer on a lot of topics. Based on his time in the House, and as one of the House managers of Clinton's impeachment trial, I have been disappointed in Senator Graham's weakness.
Yes, he should tread very, very carefully.
How can you tell if you have nothing to compare it to?
This was after years of pussy-footing around by Democrat General George McClellan. Look, if you want to commit treason against the USA, you're going to pay the price. As simple as that.
Apparently all Southerners are suppose to forget Lincoln's War of Northern Aggression against the South, because it may upset some Northern Liberals.
Ditto your post #7. Graham continues to disappoint.
And why he'd try to make the south sound racist is a mystery to me.
I've lived in Boston, upstate New York and in Connecticut and we now live in South Carolina. I've seen less racism here in 7 years than I saw in one year up north. The races get along so well here that I'm astounded, and pleased.
And Lindsey obviously hasn't understood his own state very well. There have been numerous articles that give statistics...Blacks are moving back to the south in droves. THey aren't doing that because they feel uncomfortable here!
Yea and Sherman's strategy was pure genius. He lost very few troops.
The Battle Hymn of the Republic
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored,
He has loosed the fateful lightening of His terrible swift sword
His truth is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps
His day is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnish`d rows of steel,
"As ye deal with my contemners, So with you my grace shall deal;"
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel
Since God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:
As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,
While God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
General Halleck,
I will bear in mind your hint as to Charleston, and do not think "salt" will be necessary. ... The truth is, the whole army is burning with an insatiable desire to wreak vengeance upon South Carolina. I almost tremble at her fate, but feel that she deserves all that seems in store for her.
Many and many a person in Georgia asked me why we did not go to South Carolina; and, when I answered that we were enroute for that State, the invariable reply was, "Well, if you will make those people feel the utmost severities of war, we will pardon you for your desolation of Georgia." I look upon Colombia as quite as bad as Charleston, and I doubt if we shall spare the public buildings there as we did at Milledgeville
But can burn in hell for eternity.
& Yankees who call themselves conservative too, correct?
Sic semper tyrannis!!!!!!!
