First off any republican that raises up the Democratic battle cry of "the south will rise again" and continually bashes President Lincoln as the worst president ever is no republican.
Secondly The confederate flag embodies everything the democrats stand for, racism, rebellion, hatred of republicans,Southern democrats, and of course the notion that if you can't debate run away.
surely you are a TROLL, rather than a FOOL.otoh, you COULD be BOTH.

I'm about as thoroughly Republican as anyone on this board, and I take issue with what you've said.
The South has risen again. Without the South the Democrats would be in power. By demonizing a large part of the Republican base like the New York Times does, are you not in fact helping to bring the Democrats back to power?
IMO, President Lincoln, with his trashing of the Constitution and actions that provoked war, was arguably one of the worst presidents the country has had. But my criteria no doubt differ from yours.
The confederate flag embodies everything the democrats stand for, racism, rebellion, hatred of republicans,Southern democrats, and of course the notion that if you can't debate run away.
In the minds of some who seem to hate the flag, I suppose it does stand for those things. I'm curious. Do you claim that anyone who flies the CBF is a racist?
I gather you think the WBTS was a rebellion and that those who viewed the Union as a voluntary union that they no longer wanted as their government were rebels. Could you show me the part of the Constitution that prohibits secession? IMO, the Constitution would not have been ratified if it contained such a prohibition. Do you argue otherwise?
Do you claim that anyone who flies the CBF hates Republicans? (I'm a case in point that doesn't hate Republicans.) Do you claim that anyone who flies the CBF is for Southern Democrats? (I'm a case in point that isn't.)
Finally, what is it you want to debate?
