Out of all the posters here, I find you most confused. You’re hootin’ and hollerin’ for southerners to get the hell out of America.
Let me tell you, boy, many of these southerners proved themselves well in WW II, Korea, Vietnam and today, in Iraq and Afghanistan.
In Okinawa in 1945, the Marines and Army landed. They fought like hell to take that island. At one hill they took, a captain from Alabama raised a rebel flag and his men gave a good rebel yell.
Do you have a problem with that? I sure don’t and I’m from Michigan.
You’re trying to start a fight where none should exist. Pull back your horns and welcome your southern brothers.
We’re on the same team.
This Civil War thread is a debate, not an opportunity to wish your fellow citizens to go to hell.
If alive in 1864, thumper would have been happy in Sherman’s Army torching, stealing and laughing his way thru GA and SC, in the proverbial Rape to the Sea.
Lemme tell ya somethin’, “boy”.....when a Confederate proclaims itself not an American first, I do have a problem with that.
That you don’t is a failure on your part.
You claim teamwork. A team is not comprised of those who separate themselves from the whole. A team is cohesive and indivisible. A team does not divide themselves and bitch about the “management” or find fault with the coaches.
A member of the team does not weaken the team by rooting for an opposing team.
You mention WWII, VietNam, Korea and other conflicts and wars. Those who served and serve are not the likes of Ole Tex. They are Americans.
As for your assertion that *I* am confused, the question to be answered is why are you incapable of comprehension.
Tend to your own shortcomings before lecturing me, “Boy”.
What about someone who refers to fellow FReepers as homosexuals, a Federal Boot Licker, stupid Yankees, or one of the Republican Party's most revered and iconic representatives as "the Illinois Butcher"? What do you think of someone who refers to his country as a " Constitutional Dictatorship"?
How about someone who posts pictures as an intended insult to other FReepers?:
I'm just curious...
Excellent post.
