Would I like to live in a country of like minded people who believe in the republic and want little or no govt. interference. Yes. Does race have anything to do with it? No, not IMO. You appear to see everything thru race colored lenses, perhaps there is a reason for that; would you like to tell the group something?

You go deeper than that. Your latest pejorative is Irish immigrants. As in "running out of Irish conscripts and needed fresh meat for his cleaver." Or "An army made up of drunken Irishmen can't be faulted to much when so poorly officered." And why should that be surprising to anyone? Your Southern Society of 1860 had no use for immigrants of any kind from virtually any country except one or two Western European ones. The True Southerner was an Anglo-Saxon Protestant, period. And 150 years later you still use immigrants as an insult. And select Anglo-Saxons at that. Would you exclude based on race? I'm sure you believe that you wouldn't. But anyone else, any immigrant or anyone with funny religious ideas or an accent, has no place in your Dixie. 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. Why not man up and admit it?

I was trying to defend their honor here, the Irish Brigade was brave if not stupidly officered...

I have helped immigrants from West Africa, new citizens, vote for the first time. Fortunately they told me they were going to vote for Bush, but who knows who they voted for? I went with them to the polls.

Ah, because it is not true.

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?
