Your continuous usage of the term "fire eaters" is a deliberate attempt to derogate and dismiss their concerns as unworthy of consideration.
It is simply evidence that you have no understanding of objectivity, and cannot argue from any perspective other than a subjective one.
I suppose it makes you feel good to mock and malign people with whom you disagree. This technique has a long usage in History. After the Nazis encountered stiff resistance from insurgent Poles, they started spreading Polish jokes to mock and make fun of the people they would eventually defeat.
It may be a coping mechanism for you, but it is unworthy of a rational man.

"Your continuous usage of the term "fire eaters" is a deliberate attempt to derogate and dismiss their concerns as unworthy of consideration." That term, "Fire Eaters" is just one of many used by people at the time to refer to themselves and others.
- Fire Eaters were radical Southern secessionists from the 1840s through 1861.

- Dough-faced Northerners = Northern Democrat allies of Southern slave-power Democrats and to Northern pro-slavery Whigs.
Dough-faces could be counted on to vote pro-slavery in Congress.
- Copperheads = Northerner Democrats who supported the Confederacy.
- Wide-Awakes = Northern Republicans, organized in semi-military units.
- Democrat Party equivalents = Douglas Invincibles, Young Hickories, Earthquakes, and even Chloroformers (in reference to the "Wide Awakes").
- Minute Men = Southern equivalents of Wide Awakes.
- Slave Power = additional Democrat Congressmen elected due to the Constitution's 3/5 slave rule.
- Slavocracy = the South's antebellum ruling elite.
- Know-nothings = anti-immigrant, anti-Catholic party especially strong in Border South states.
- Black Republicans = Republicans generally, abolitionists specifically.
Those are all I can think of off the top of my head, but there were doubtless others.
They are all historical terms, used at the time by both the people themselves sometimes, and more often by their political enemies.
