Confederate Memorial Day (Virginia)

Posted on 05/30/2011 10:04:19 AM PDT by DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis



We all know that today is a day to remember US troops that have fallen in battle.
In the state of Virginia today is also a day to remember our brave soldiers of the Confederacy.



The marching armies of the past
Along our Southern plains,
Are sleeping now in quiet rest
Beneath the Southern rains.

The bugle call is now in vain
To rouse them from their bed;
To arms they'll never march again--
They are sleeping with the dead.

No more will Shiloh's plains be stained
With blood our heroes shed,
Nor Chancellorsville resound again
To our noble warriors' tread.

For them no more shall reveille
Sound at the break of dawn,
But may their sleep peaceful be
Till God's great judgment morn.

We bow our heads in solemn prayer
For those who wore the gray,
And clasp again their unseen hands
On our Memorial Day.

Ha ha. The things I posted/quoted ARE facts, whether that makes you happy or not. Lame excuse on your part. Fail.

I'm still waiting for you to actually debate and try and refute the facts I gave. *waiting*

I don't mean to be insulting, but if you call BS to facts but refuse to debate, that is just obvious fail.

Speaking of insulting, isn’t calling someone a liar (by saying they post false stuff) and insult, FRiend? Hmmm?

Numerous books and articles on the subjects, dude. And they are all crammed full of cited facts and old quotes. But of course that doesn't mean anything to you. Sadly.

I mean, who needs books and old quotes? /s

The best way to respond to your question is to paraphrase the great Ronald Reagan: “The problem with our liberal friends is that they know so many things that just aren’t true.”

I haven’t called you a liar (yet) but I will say that you purport many things without evidence or attribution. Anyone can say anything, but just because you say it doesn’t make it so.

...but even if you could separate the morality associated with the insurrection...

I'm waiting. What morality would that be, rockrr?

It’s parallel universe stuff.

Something Bull Connor or George Wallace would spew. Sort of a Southern democrat’s “Coast to Coast AM, with George Noory”...or Tri-lateral Commission and the Bildebergers.

I agree with you in the government not protecting the borders. In that regard I feel any government that won’t protect it’s borders is a traitor to it’s people. A government that feels that way can be voted out or shot out(2nd. Amendment Solution if need be, Heaven forbid). But secession? No. Sorry.

just because you say it doesn’t make it so.

True. Of course you are naturally assuming that everything that doesn't fit your view is a lie. But I can go back and dig up the sources for all the facts I gave. It would take a little bit (The stuff came from quite a few places) but I could. I really don't have the time to do it all right now, but if you have any particular one or two or three you would like me to give a source for just point out the post and fact tidbit and I'll get back to you on it. ;-)

Yeah, all those old quotes, facts and statistices cited from period sources are just from a parallel universe. Ha ha. You just keep telling yourself that.

Go ahead. Make fun. It doesn’t somehow show you guys to be smart. You guys haven’t done a very good job at making comebacks. The facts are too hard so you just ignore them or laugh to comfort yourselves. Lame. You guys would totally fail in a debate session, yet you try to make others look stupid. heh heh.

It’s not good. Stupid assumptions can lead to stupid conclusions. So far you have made a lot of assumptins on this thread.
