I think the problem with Mark is assuming his audience has the same intelligence and thought processes as liberals and needs to be talked to in the same way. Hence, the south bad, the north good and just believe every thing I say.
He shut that caller down on Dred Scott without listening to anything he had to say and didn’t want to hear anything he said. Mark is wrong about Dred Scott. The court decided correctly and I will argue that. What it did demonstrate was the necessity of having the ability to amend the Constitution. That was the proper way to correct a legally proper but morally improper decision. Did Dred Scott really start the Civil War because there was no recourse to a court decision? If that is the justification for the “Liberty Amendments”, it is nothing more than fear mongering to which I say no thanks.
Agreed
Yea
Rosens Jewish Confederates
A great read.
I own it.
Have a good and blessed night!
Glad to see I wasn’t the only one listening. Levin must have achieved Grand Exalted High Priest status in the church of Lincoln after today’s exhortation.
“WTH Mark....U treat a Reconstruction Congress like a mandate. And fail to mention black codes up north”
Lincoln’s home state of Illinois had a law prohibiting free blacks from even residing in the state. Maybe Mark consider’s that to be different from a black code- no need for a code if they can’t even live there.
Of course the real reason as you say is to protect the infallibility of the demigod of 1860. He loves his dad and his dad is a true believer.

First United States Senator of the Jewish faith. Secretary of War, Secretary of State, and Attorney General of the Confederacy.
I recall a book about 25 years ago on Jewish soldiers in the Confederacy and I can see that there are plenty of links to that subject on Google, including this one:
http://www.jewishpress.com/indepth/front-page/southern-jews-and-the-confederacy/2010/07/28/
“Virginia Governor Robert F. McDonnell’s recent proclamation of Confederate History Month provoked a firestorm of criticism, with many accusing him and those who commemorate their Southern ancestors’ bravery of ignoring or even defending slavery.
But the cruel and evil institution of slavery was not the sole or even primary reason for the South’s secession from the Union, nor was it a significant motivating factor for individual Confederate soldiers.
Yet many of us in the South, including those descended from old Jewish families of the Confederacy, still struggle to expose the truth about why Southern soldiers fought, the courage they showed against overwhelming odds, and the sacrifices they made.
The history of the Confederacy is full of long-forgotten tales of Jewish heroes, warriors, and leaders. This is a story little known today, absent from history books and an embarrassment to liberal Jewish historians ashamed of the prominent role played by Jews in supporting, defending and fighting for the Confederacy. It is a government about which they know little except for its association with slavery.
They find the truth about the war incompatible with their idolization of Abraham Lincoln and his administration – an administration in which anti-Jewish sentiment was rampant, at one point even becoming official government policy and resulting in the worst official act of anti-Semitism in the nation’s history.
I know firsthand the ignorance one encounters on this subject because a few years ago I wrote for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution a mild mannered op-ed article discussing why so many good and decent Georgians take pride in their Confederate ancestors.
I explained that we revere our ancestors because, against overwhelming odds, they fought on, often hungry, cold, sick and wounded, to protect their homes and families – not the institution of slavery – from an often cruel invader. Put simply, the heavily outnumbered and undersupplied Confederate soldiers felt they were fighting because an invading army from the North was trying, with great success, to burn their homes, destroy their cities, and kill them.
In response, the newspaper published two letters to the editor. One said my statements “were reminiscent of neo-Nazi apologists denying the Holocaust.” The other accused me of defending slavery and “a treasonous movement” called the Confederacy.
My then-84-year-old mother asked me to “please wait until I die before you write any more articles.”....
hit the link for the rest, it’s a very good article. Our Lincoln venerating friend Mark might not like it as much as we do.
Ok, then why did the KKK, supposedly self-appointed representatives of the Confederacy, target Jews along with blacks?
Source please
Also in the original Klan there was blacks in it they had fought along side Nathan Forrest and after the war stuck with him
Cornhole....what a word
In TN its that silly bean bag toss game with the board tilted
In Mississippi where I grew up its.the colloquial for back door buggerery
I laugh still every time I hear folks say lets go cornhole here in Nashville
Didn’t know that about TN. Never heard it with any other meaning than the MS one.
Learn new things every day.
First time I heard that word was from a friend and his summation of the movie “Deliverance” as “some guy gets cornholed in the woods”. I recall my friend lived in NJ but attended the University of TN. I guess he had been Tennesseeified fully when he said that.
