I’ll never understand how a bunch of people who like to think themselves conservatives come to a conservative web site venerating a bunch of treasonous Southern Democrats.

You can't understand it because you can't understand what REAL state rights means and what a REAL republic means. Those concepts are lost on you. When it comes down to it you, and your ilk, will eventually knuckle under to federal tyranny. WE ALL KNOW IT even if you don't.

"Secession belongs to a different class of remedies. It is to be justified upon the basis that the States are Sovereign. There was a time when none denied it. I hope the time may come again, when a better comprehension of the theory of our Government, and the inalienable rights of the people of the States, will prevent any one from denying that each State is a Sovereign, and thus may reclaim the grants which it has made to any agent whomsoever."

Southern democrats of the 18th century were conservative to the bone. States rights conservatives. The Whig/Republican Party, especially the Republican Party of Lincoln, were big government liberals. Lincoln and Marx were great admirers of each other.

Venerate or commemorate.
Odd how you don't use commemorate. With your use of venerate you've vaulted things into the holy or sacrosanct arena when it isn't there at all...except in your twisted mind.

Your own words kill your argument.
