Then do something about it rather than bitch and blather on the internet endlessly.

Of course that would require you to get off your butt and actually do something, so I won’t get my hopes up anytime soon.

FWIW if you’ve never been to Spain it’s a lovely country and Andalusia is in a magnificent part of it. Granada, Seville, and Cordoba are all within close proximity and all are well worth a visit. You might want to extend your trip to include Catalonia - the southwest for the scenery and Barcelona for the food.

I have no idea who they voted for or care.

Sure you do. You said so yourself. The "Fortunately they told me they were going to vote for Bush," remember?

But anyone else, any immigrant or anyone with funny religious ideas or an accent, has no place in your Dixie.

Huh? Would you consider serpent handling a funny religious idea?

Anyone who doesn't sound like you, believe like you, think and act like you, worship like you and hate like you would have no future in your Dixe rerun.

Can you please explain how we sound, what we believe, and how we think, act, and worship?

What people say and do can be different things, especially when it comes to voting. I just wanted to help them.

Since it was trashed so long a ago and nobody follows it anymore there is no point hating it, it is irrelevant.

But hate it you do, along with the Declaration of Independence and anything else relating to the country. Your boy Innes did, you're toddling along in his footsteps.

A Constitution not followed is worse than having no Constitution at all, for this situation breeds contempt in the intelligent and a false sense of security in the uninitiated sentimentalist.

If true then you should be happy. It should remind you of the Jeff Davis days.

The courtesy of extending this as your opinion is duly noted and appreciated:)

And no doubt your opinion is exactly the opposite.

And if those people wound up being stone liberals, would they be welcome in your new Dixie by you and your compatriots? What if they were Muslims? Homosexuals?

you numbnuts need to quit projecting. I have no “uncle Billy”....

What's a "numbnut" . . . don't believe I have ever been called a "numbnut" before.

I have no “uncle Billy”....

Wow I don't either. . . we have something in common. (I wouldn't claim him either)

Two posts in a single day. Does that mean we're friends again?

Huh? Would you consider serpent handling a funny religious idea?

I would, but I'm not a Southerner. But let me ask you this, in your restored Dixie would you advocate the posting of the 10 Commandments in all public buildings and/or schools?

Can you please explain how we sound, what we believe, and how we think, act, and worship?

I look people like Idabilly, Cowboyway, central_va, and mojitojoe among the active posters for that.

Just out of curiosity, Colonel, did you ever expect your simple, innocuous post about a presidential dollar coin would degenerate into another rebellion hate-fest?

Celebrated our 62nd last week. Went to Alaska on our 50th. People just don’t seem to make the committment today. Enjoying the thread. Just an old Yankee.

That is really something. Many congratulations to you. Your commitment is rare and very fine. You are to be commended. Glad you are enjoying the thread. Just an old Reb :}

He was from Arkansas. Born and raised too. Haha.

And no doubt your opinion is exactly the opposite.

Not all southern men are gentlemen however, central_va has been nothing less than a gentleman in his interaction with me. His ability to extend respect to those not deserving (which is the comment I was referring to), indicates no small measure of his self respect. So, I wouldn't say my opinion is exactly the opposite. The words southern gentlemen aren't always synonymous with each other nor are they always contradictory. It depends on the individual.

Two posts to you in a single day.....I'd better pace myself! I wasn't aware we were ever anything other than FRiends.

I would, but I'm not a Southerner.

I'm a Southerner who finds serpent handling a rather odd practice, but I believe to each his own. It's their business, not mine.

But let me ask you this, in your restored Dixie would you advocate the posting of the 10 Commandments in all public buildings and/or schools?

Yes.

I look people like Idabilly, Cowboyway, central_va, and mojitojoe among the active posters for that.

I adore each of the FReepers you've named. Perhaps it's a cultural difference?

Actually we haven't hanging out much. Old Googley has been, shall we say, limited, predicable, and somewhat bias.

He was from Arkansas. Born and raised too.

Are we talking about the same Uncle Billy?

We celebrated our 30th in June. And here I was feeling like the newlyweds around here!

upcountrymiss - your comment reminds me of the love my parent's shared. My best to you both:)
