A speech given in a ratifying convention is a weaker indication of original meaning of a Constitutional provision than debates in the Constitutional Convention, and understanding of the common interpretation of the plain words.

Yeah feel free to condone personal attacks that have gone on throughout this thread by both sides.
I guess that’s what the smokey backroom is really for, I guess....

scoreboard.
Besides, not a one of you could hold any of the jocks of Lee, Davis, Forrest or any of the rest of them.
I’m certain they all (well except Forrest since he was nothing but a rabblerouser anyway) would be embarrassed by your actions within these threads.
They KNEW they had lost the war. It seems that the harder-headed need another lesson. OR something.

I didn’t for my behalf.
I did it because this thread and ones just like it happen every single day here.
It’s crap. It’s garbage. And it paints us all as fractured idiots instead of Conservatives focused on the goal of returning this country to something other than a socialist hellhole that it’s becoming.

ts crap. Its garbage. And it paints us all as fractured idiots instead of Conservatives focused on the goal of returning this country to something other than a socialist hellhole that its becoming.Mike, no matter what happens in November there are anti-American collective elements, concentrated mostly in the North, that actually were stupid enough to vote for the Hopey Usurper in Chief. This is fact, not paranoia. Nothing is going to change them, not this election or the next 15.
There is a geographical component to our woes whether you except it or not. If I have to live in a smaller FREE REPUBLIC one day so be it. Surly the whole country cannot be saved, it's too late. We Southerners know things and see things differently. You see things as "help save us", and we see things as "get the hell away from me".

You’ll never live in anything except a self-deluded pipe dream because you haven’t got the stones to cash the check your mouth writes.
Now, go ahead and regale us with grandiose tales of how the glorious “south shall rise again”. Er, maybe right after the dukes of hazard rerun is over...

Trains were legitimate targets of war. Not by non-uniformed combatants, unless you're willing to suffer the consequences.

And where the hell do I say that? And don't say "you all" because Obama got quite a few votes from south as well.
I like how regional rivalries gives you the ability to judge someone's character on an internet message board. LOL

I especially recommend the Kent Masterson Brown book. It goes into more detail on what Lee’s campaign was really about. And how he deliberately left wounded behind rather than dump any of the supplies his army had seized prior to Gettysburg.
To: rustbucket
Can you not send over to Fairmount and Adairsville, burn 10 or 12 houses of known secessionists, kill a few at random and let them know it will be repeated every time a train is fired upon from Resaca to Kingston. You Southron types are fond of dragging out quotes from "Gangs of New York" or "Outlaw Josey Wales" so I won't feel bad about offering a quote from that marvelous Australian movie "Breaker Morant". The scene is the court room where Major Thomas is cross-examining the first witness. The witness is talking about how he had to discipline one of the defendants for putting prisoners in open carriages in front of trains:
Major Thomas: Tell me, Mr. Robertson what was Lt Hancock's reason for putting Boer prisoners on open cattle cars on the trains.
Capt. Robertson: Well the Boers had been mining the lines and blowing up a lot of trains. He thought it might stop them.
Major Thomas: Well did it?
So the question really isn't so much whether Sherman shot guerrillas or whether they were in uniform. It's whether the attacks on the trains stopped. Did they?
To: mac_truck; rockrr
I think that’s Southron for “G’night, mother.”

Then stay away from the threads, Mike. No one is forcing you to "turn in". Sounds like you could use some down time anyway. If it starts to get too much, go chill for a while. I sure have to sometimes and I don't have a problem with doing so.
