These neo-Confederates show their hatred for the United States of America by referring to a President of the United States -- and the best one, too -- as "boy".

You again show convincingly that your logic is fallacious. Your rush to unfounded and irresponsible conclusions is breathtaking, but not surprising. First off, if I was so filled with "hatred" for the United States I would not have served in the U.S. Air Force during Vietnam; I would not be an officer in the American Legion (an organization not known for its hatred of the U.S.); I would not have voted in virtually every election since the day I became eligible to vote; I would not still get a lump in my throat upon hearing the Star Spangled Banner; I would not still salute my country's flag when I see it. But I will criticize my country's GOVERNMENT when I feel it is warranted. You see, you equate the country with its government; I do not. To me, the United States is the Constitution, and all the freedom and responsibilities it ordains, and the legacy of hope of that founding document. It was my love of America that made me despise Bill Clinton so much, because he embodied everything America should NOT be. While I do not despise Abraham Lincoln, I do not deify him nor elevate him to a position high above the rest of his countrymen. Fanatical adorers and disciples of any mortal man scare the s**t out of me, because such fanaticism usually brings with it horrors without equal.
