Do you and your family know what is considered by some folks the largest monument to an American?

“Our slaves came to America, some as volunteers, from a continent of constant misery and violence. Most found Christianity because they came to America”,< ‘’ Other than your husband being shot Mrs. Lincoln how did you enjoy the play’’? Who ‘’volunteers’’ to become a slave?
Funny how regional ideology and myths trump common sense in people up north.
It’s quite simple, really. If sovereign people joined the Union and then are not allowed to leave the union, is that not just another form of slavery?
Of course it is. But Yankee simpletons will never admit the truth.
Funny how regional ideology and myths trump common sense in people down south.
It’s quite simple, really. If people can’t honor their commitments and the premise of the founders of this nation, are they not just dishonorable curs?
Of course they are. But neo-confederate simpletons will never admit the truth.
OK, my first response was just to show how foolish your ad hom was. I don’t believe that you or your southern brethren are simpletons but what you are posting is simply foolish.
Perhaps you could describe one of these “myths” so that we could analyze it?
Few Americans, today, even stop to reflect on the multi-generational project that is any community, tribe, nation or civilization. The idea that there is such a thing as personal honor, of course, gets lost in the situational ethics that rationalize the way the reformers pursue their fantasies.
The situation continues to deteriorate, but it has now gone so far that more and more of the population at least realizes that something is very wrong. Hence the Tea Party movement for one example. The South has long been the chief "whipping boy" of the Leftists, precisely because she has the largest percentage of those who still honor their heritage--and hence are most likely to resist being made over in some form of Fabian or Marxist social experiment.
See, for example, "Civil War," Reconstruction & Creating Hate In America Today. To better understand the heritage that is being dismantled, North & South, see America--Grounded On Experience & Reason.
God willing, we will yet turn the tide.

It is quite simple. Only a moron would join a club he can’t quit.
History HAS proven that Davis dressing as a woman was a northern myth perpetuated by the lying media.
I can show you Hitler on the cover of Time magazine as Man of the Year. Your drawing proves nothing.
“OK, my first response was just to show how foolish your ad hom was.
And it failed miserably. Identifying a fool who lives in the north as such is NOT an ad hominem attack, it is simply identifying the general geographical location of where the fool resides. It does NOT mean that all yankees are fools. If you choose to embrace the description, that is your problem, not mine. Your attempt to respond in kind to what you mistakenly assumed was an ad hom attack does not insult me, because I’m not a “neo” anything and I’m not a fool.
You would have to come up with something more intelligent than that to insult me.
So now you’re calling all of your southron forefathers morons? That’s not very nice.
We don’t live in a constitutional republic anymore, at least not one based on the US Constitution. That defined a government composed of sovereign states, with a federal government of limited, enumerated powers, derived from the consent of the States. Such a nation no longer exists, except perhaps in your imagination.
As regards slavery, there existed a contradiction between our original Constitution and our Declaration of Independence. The Declaration described us as being created equal and bearing natural rights granted to us by God, our Creator. Our original Constitution was tolerant of slavery and thus in conflict with the Declaration on that one point.
I side with the Declaration as regards that conflict. However, it must be acknowledged that slavery brought many Africans to Christ.
And, the South was probably on solid legal ground in seceding.
LOL! Not very good in the comprehension OR insult departments, I see.
Run along now little brainwashed libtard. Put the shovel down while you’re behind.
The states that attempted secession never gave the congress the opportunity to prescribe the manner in which secession would be proved.
“secession would be proved.”
Secession isn’t something that needs to be proven. That makes no sense.
“If people can’t honor their commitments and the premise of the founders of this nation, are they not just dishonorable curs?”
Yes, which is why the South left the US: The North failed to live up to the Constitutional agreements and treated the southern States with contempt. The dishonor was the North’s. Chew on that, NS.
He should have surrendered after Gettyburg. Lots of good men died because these “patriots” had egos the size of the south.
He should have hanged.
Your response is just sad toad - you used to be better at this....no wait - I guess you didn’t ;-)
For most of our nation’s first 80 years the south dominated America’s politics in both the presidency and the congress. If they didn’t get their way it was because they were too friggin stupid to figure out which way was up.
By the 1850’s most of the rest of the civilized world had turned away from slavery - all except the southron slaveocracy who stupidly put all their eggs in one basket. When Lincoln came along the slavers had a hissy fit and agitated to cut and run like the cowardly curs they were - but not without stealing anything that wasn’t nailed down (and a mess of that what was).
Like the true-blue dhimmicrats they were, the slavers didn’t GAS about the constitution unless it suited their desires and took a crap on it the moment it didn’t.
They started a fight they couldn’t possibly win and paid dearly for their arrogant stupidity. The smart ones learned from their mistakes and rebuilt the south into something that is vibrant and positive. The rest of y’all still yap it up and agitate, but like neutered dogs, mostly just bellow.
Choke on that, toad.
