Targeting Lost Causers

My oh my, what would the critics, the Civil War publications, publishers, and bloggers do if it weren't for the bad boys of the Confederacy and those who study them and also those who wish to honor their ancestors who fought for the Confederacy?

The red shirt is a bit weird....

I believe it was A.P. Hill who always wore a red shirt into battle. It became a bit of a trademark for him

fwiw, associating with DUNCES like "rockrr, the VULGAR-talking lout", "bubba, the LIAR" & "DUH, snake, the nit-witted Turncoat" must be making you LESS intelligent, as many of your recent posts are downright SILLY.

laughing AT you!!!

The same can certainly be said of your Southron compatriots who associate with you.

don't you wish that you were correct???

instead, you are dealing in SELF-deception, if you think that any of the ARROGANT, SELF-important,lunatic fringe, FOOLS/BIGOTS/LIARS of "The DAMNyankee Coven" are as intelligent/honest/decent as ANY of the southerners of FR.

be sure to remind everyone here about how you said that you "used to be" a PERMANENTLY BANNED former FReeper, until you finally figured out that you would be BANNED AGAIN for (FRAUDULENTLY) RE-registering as "a different person". ONLY THEN did you claim to have LIED to me about that incident.

that made you LOOK REALLY STUPID & DISHONEST.

as a consequence, NOBODY on FR believes ANYTHING that you post.

laughing AT you, LIAR.

i AM correct. "your side" is FILLED with LIARS, BIGOTS, lunatics & (VULGAR-talking) LOUD-mouths.

we southerners are sometimes WRONG (who among us is not?) but we're are NOT thought of as south-HATING, UNeducated, semi-literate, BIGOTS & KNOWING LIARS by the majority of FReepers.

And your side has you. All those traits you mentioned all rolled into one, slightly rancid bundle of foam and spit.

OK, so why did Robert Lee insist on wearing a colonel’s insignia on his uniform for the entire war?

So you're saying that it hasn't been 92 days since you said you ordered the book?

In other words you don’t know the difference between the USA and that CSA and are trying to worm your way out of keeping this thread a reasoned debate.

Your continued personal attacks on me lower these threads to a level that should not be even tolerated on this board, but yet they are, I’d say it was no because of how well you attack me but rather how well I carry myself as a southern gentleman to makes you look foolish that allows their continued existence.

Now I’ll ask you once again what is the most significant difference between the USA and the CSA and I’ll give you 24 hours to respond in a single sentence.

As for an apology a southern gentleman only apologizes when he has done someone wrong or made a mistake, in your case neither applies.

And a Southern gentleman only apologizes to an equal, and since you yourself claim that you are no southern gentleman you’re not my equal or my better.

Once again Squattie you scumbag, you mention another FReeper by name but don’t have the honesty and common decency to “ping” them.

You really are the bottom of the barrel, aren’t you?!

Actually you are universally regarded as a combination of imbecile and cad. Your reputation as a blithering idiot is mythic and your reputation as a serial liar and cowardly cur isn’t far behind.

you know that's an "interesting question".

i asked that of the late Devereaux G. Cannon, who was VASTLY knowledgeable on the subject of CSA flags,insignia, uniforms, regalia, etc. about what he knew reference that precise subject.

Mr Cannon's comment was that he BELIEVED that REL was "too modest to wear the insignia of a full GO". i think that the REAL answer was known ONLY to General Lee.

it is TRUE that he wore a FULL COL's rank insignia throughout TWBTS, but i simply don't have a better answer than "i don't know, but i suspect "modesty" is the CORRECT answer".

look carefully at the picture of "redshirt" & tell me what his collar insignia of rank is. (looks like a wreath with 3 stars to me.)

more "hollywood" nonsense is my guess on this one.

actually, i'm simply reminding everyone that you are a LIAR, as well as a southern TURNCOAT, whose "word of honor" is a SICK JOKE to all of us, who have dealt with your multiple DECEITS for months.

whatever else you may be, "gentleman" or especially "southern gentleman" is NOT what you are.

UNTIL & UNLESS you APOLOGIZE to EVERYONE for your KNOWING & constantly REPEATED LIES on this forum, expect nothing but RIDICULE from me. (especially NO answers to your STUPID, SELF-impressed questions.====> remember the LAST question you asked about New Orleans that was so SILLY & ignorant that a prominent attorney from that area of the city had NO idea what you were asking. when i told him "your answer" he laughed AT you & described your question/answer as BUFFOONISH & you as "what a BOZO".)

my recommendation is: APOLOGIZE & RESIGN in shame from FR.
