The South still remembers the men and women of the Confederate States of America who came from all races and religions that include: Cuban born Confederate Colonel Ambrosio Jose Gonzales, Irish-born General Patrick R. Cleburne and Black Confederate drummer Bill Yopp.

The rest of the country would be grateful if New England went ahead and broke off from the USA.. Don’t worry this will not get a Shermanesque response from us. No burning of New York or March to the Sea. Although the fantasy of kicking Yankee butt across the rust belt sounds nice.

Everyone seems to think the most important part of the constitution is the bill-of-rights (BOR). It is not IMO. The limits on and formation of the federal govt. far outweigh the significance of the BOR. Without the limits on FedGov™ power the BOR is meaningless.

You Johnny Rebs do a lot of sh*t talking for an 0-1 team.

I absolutely agree and, to a man, so would the founders!

WE have a very large monument in Washington D.C. to the very man who opened wide the doors through which every progressive since has walked!

The Constitution of the United States is the law of the land, it was written by men, from the North and South and ratified by both. It has been defended in the wars this nation has fought and no other nation on earth has such a document. Take your version of your revisionist history and stick it. You’re the ignoramus here and if this constitutional form government doesn’t suit you, try somewhere else to live.

Oh and by the way bozo, I went to Catholic schools.

It is called the only Jewish military cemetery in the world outside the State of Israel.

It is a section of a larger Jewish cemetery. Maybe not so very different from what you could have seen in Europe before WWII.

Tucker was an anti-slavery advocate Reb. Did you know that?

Absolutely right! To bad men like Abe Lincoln and you have completely subverted it!

So were a lot of other people who fought for the south dweb! What does that have to do with what we are talking about?

[catfish1957]

Not familiar, and frankly not interested in looking up the first three people you mentioned. I am familar with the last two (Santorum and Scott Brown). If this is a true indication of who you think is a conservative, then that speaks volumes for you.

Point of the exercise????... It toook 10 days for someone to come up with a short list of conservatives, who are RINO's at best. The NE US is bastion of liberalism, and that mindset infiltrates many freepers from that area who think they are conservatives.

Bottom line?....A conservative in MA, would be a flaming liberal here in Texas.

[jmacusa]

Pal, you’re attempting to take Tuckers treatsie on Federalism and states rights to justify abolishing the Union and preserving slavery. As I said, if this form of government doesn’t suit you, find another one. As to anti-slavery Confederates in 1861, that’s going out on a limb. The South wasn’t fighting to end it.

[Bigun]

Is there something about "Their submission to it’s operation is voluntary: it’s councils, it’s engagements, it’s authority are theirs, modified, and united. It’s sovereignty is an emanation from theirs, not a flame by which they have been consumed, nor a vortex in which they are swallowed up. Each is still a perfect state, still sovereign, still independent, and still capable, should the occasion require, to resume the exercise of it’s functions, as such, in the most unlimited extent." that you can't comprehend? Seem really straight forward to me.

[jmacusa]

Haven’t got time for 1861 anymore Reb. Newt is out of the running and the country is in BIG trouble. He’s sounding the warning and no one is listening. Mittens is no different than Obama and if either one ends up in the White House it’s over. You want a fight? Fine. You march north and I’ll march south. Meet up at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave and drag that Marxist son of a bitch out by his heels. Then on to Capitol Hill and drag out those criminals. And we do this under the Stars and Stripes, its that serious.

[Rappini]

This subject always brings out the best in all y’all.

[Bigun]

Well I sure enough with you on that project!
