He was one of your heroes. A sick, twisted kind of fellow. A bond fide cow killer.

I'm not worked up. You must be worked up. I'm amusing myself watching you make a fool of yourself.

[#3Fan]

I said states, you specifically referred to the soldiers. Not surprising since you've held up Booth as a hero and a couple of you put down all northerners. The only people I've ever criticized is the ones that pushed secession, the slaveowners. I've never said anything against southerners, unlike you have of northerners. I've said it's a tragedy what happened to the Confederate soldiers since they had no stake in the outcome. You take glee in death, your April post proves it. Assassins will burn in hell.

What did he do besides kill a cow?

I'm not worked up. You must be worked up. I'm amusing myself watching you make a fool of yourself.

Your namecalling tells a different tale.

Mikey

Is there a reason you're calling me "Mikey" or is it just another nervous habit of yours?

[freedumb2003]

In a hundred years, but not now.

In 100 years, they won't be doing Civil War re-enactments, they'll be doing Alamo re-enactments with the English-speaking Bad Guys -- the Gringos -- while Santa Ana and his brave troops attack using the official US language of Spanish.

Illinois is not asking Congress to prove an act.

Secessionists were killing free-staters in Kansas

So now secessionists from Kansas were coming into Texas and coercing Unionists not to participate in the conventions? I'll need a link on that one.

But most were threatened to not participate.

Now it's most? The only reference you've provided is a synopsis with no materials sourced. And your reference does not support that most were coerced into non-partitipation. It mentions it in passing along with the fact that many refused to participate in what they saw was an illegal act (much as Patrick Henry had done 80 years before during the Constitutional Convention).

Non-participants get screwed in any system of government. It's what the 'public good' is all about.

Too late. That's after the coup

No, in fact your supposed coup could not have taken effect until after the vote. Much like Ms Stewart, you seem to have a problem arranging dates in order.

[Gianni]

Yeah, states have to prove their acts to other states.

Eh?

[Gianni]

Assassins will burn in hell.

Thought I recognized you, Ronly.

Ever wonder how many have served this great Republic in that regard who do not deserve your damnation?

[Gianni]

I can almost hear St Peter now:

Thaddeus Stevens, assassin of cows, you are hereby condemned to eternity in hell for your evil deeds.

[Gianni]

The only people I've ever criticized is the ones that pushed secession, the slaveowners.

As has been pointed out to you, you do so wrongly. The slaveowners were reluctant secessionists, knowing their property in flesh was secure for eternity within the bounds of the Union. It was those who sought greater political power who roused for secession.

[#3Fan]

Illinois is not asking Congress to prove an act.

Yes they are. They can't run the pilot program until Congress decides how it's to be done.

[Gianni]

Yes they are.

Intelligent proof of your argument. I concede.

I was obviously showing the mindset of those that would perpetuate slavery. Some of them were murderers.

Now it's most?

Obviously.

The only reference you've provided is a synopsis with no materials sourced.

Here we go with "it was faked!" again. You guys don't believe anything unless it's a claim that New Yorkers were shot in voting booths. lol

And your reference does not support that most were coerced into non-partitipation. It mentions it in passing along with the fact that many refused to participate in what they saw was an illegal act (much as Patrick Henry had done 80 years before during the Constitutional Convention).

It doesn't take much of an imagination to comprehend how someone is encouraged not to attend a political event.

Non-participants get screwed in any system of government. It's what the 'public good' is all about.

It's one thing not to participate. It's another to be "encouraged" not to participate.

No, in fact your supposed coup could not have taken effect until after the vote. Much like Ms Stewart, you seem to have a problem arranging dates in order.

First came the coup, then the referendum. Too late.

[#3Fan]

Look Ronly, this dude thinks we're the same guy. ROFL!

Ever wonder how many have served this great Republic in that regard who do not deserve your damnation?

God had already gave us the victory and Booth's act was nothing but murder. Assassins will burn in hell.

[#3Fan]

It's funny you can't come up with anything worse than a cowkiller.

[#3Fan]

As has been pointed out to you, you do so wrongly. The slaveowners were reluctant secessionists, knowing their property in flesh was secure for eternity within the bounds of the Union. It was those who sought greater political power who roused for secession

What bull. 70% in that link were slaveowners.

[#3Fan]

Intelligent proof of your argument. I concede.

I know logic is foreign to neoconfederates. If they applied logic, all their arguments would fail and so they abandon it.

[Gianni]

So, you're saying you don't care a whit about those who have served our republic in the capacity of assassin.

Better men than you or I have fought many a war to save her.

I made it clear what kind of assassin I was speaking of.
