[Psalm 144]

“These neo-yanks are nothing more than socialist, big government propagandists and apologists and useful idiots for the democrat party.”

They are the intellectual spawn of apostate New England, as is Bill Ayers, as is Obama. The roots of the intolerant, utopian American left do not go back to Karl Marx. They go back to Cotton Mather.

No matter. That culture is so rotted now it is deliquescent, while we still have a modicum of civilization. We will outlast them, and eventually our wetback problem will be them swimming south across the Ohio River.

Deo Vindice.

Sorry I'm late in responding. Hope y'all had a nice Thanksgiving. My people have been in Tennessee since the days of John Sevier. I'm as Southern as anybody. but Southern is not the same as Confederate.

And as Wardaddy said, many people in E. Tennessee identify with the Confederates. I'm doing my part to enlighten my relatives to the history. I'm not sure they're any more enthusiastic about the message as y'all are. My dear mom once gave me a hot lecture about "yankees" when I dared to point out the Civil War unionists in her own family tree.

Here's a link to a Google book of a contemporary (1866) book on life in East Tenn. during the war:
