Yqw ma’am.
I have Southern and Northern blood running through my veins...
But the CSA flag is a part of our AMERICAN history, whether the damned yankees can accept it or not is none of my concern.
It will NOT be erased from our history, no matter how hard the politically cowrecked yankees and libtards try.
Likewise Reb.
Ha!
It is but to laugh.
Again, you can’t squirm your way out of this through projection.
You attempted to smear a good FReeper by accusing her of making a “threat”.
That is not conservatism by any stretch of the imagination.
Damned yankee behavior is what it is...liberal behavior.
And btw Reb, to me political correctness is cultural Marxism and I’m no f’ing Marxist.
Lee.
Hitting the bottle again jmac? Or did you quit that habit for your current one of sowing hate?
I love eastern Tennessee. Unfortunately, one finds liberals everywhere. Though I’ve encountered less of that disease with increasing rurality.
Good luck, and may God Bless You and Yours.
Pending in-law 'health issues'; we hope to be home by October/November.
God Bless!
i have a friend in New Jersey, a longtime Freeper; she was the person who introduced me to this site. She doesn’t post anymore because she has several children in private school, and she and her husband work to keep them there.
She has no Southern roots; hers are in Italy. But she shares your view on the flag in question and Southern roots.
I guess she’s a Reb too, LOL.
My next trip back too. Granddaughter in NE SC.
Rebel Yell!!!!
Is that the best you’ve got? Oh wait, you’re “Pelham’’. So you’re in character. Haven’t had a drop in 25 years dude. Hate? Hmmm. I would think that’s your department.
So you say...
Yawn.
I can think of many worse things to be called than “Reb”...in fact, “Reb” is what we conservatives are, isn’t it?
We’re “rebelling” against a growing and out of control government and tyranny. Yet, somehow, those who “rebelled” in the South in the run-up to the CW under similar circumstances are to be viewed as unAmerican and their heritage and history is to be erased from our American history?
I can’t even begin to comprehend that position from purported conservatives.
The problem I believe is that so many have come to believe in the revisionist history being taught via PC and the indoctrination in the school systems.
I suppose, based on the so called arguments being presented, that if any of us have roots going back to some country or nation that engaged in some actions that are now found “objectionable”, we’re to not only forget our ancestry and history but to erase it as well?
There is an is an island on the southern shore of Lake Erie, Johnson Island. During the Civil War it was a prison camp for Confederate soldiers, primarily officers. There is a haunting cemetery full of these soldiers whose bodies were never allowed to be returned to the south, even after the war and families begging to be able to retrieve them. They died of starvation, disease and the elements. I suppose there are other areas in the north with similiar stories, but it is hardly a symbol of “unity”.
Your points are all very good ones, I think.
