I remember when the olympic flame passed through South Carolina in 1996. It went through the state in a closed van so no one could see it, as a protest against the Confederate Flag. I remember reading an editorial about it in a South Carolina newspaper. It said that hiding the flame might be a good thing, since a lot of folks around here still remembered the last time a yankee was running around down here with a torch.

Ain't that the truth!

Hey brother, the Yankee view of liberty and Union according to Lincoln and Sherman was " You have the liberty to remain in the Union. We will win your hearts and minds, even if we do burn your cities down."

Could you imagine the Yankee blubbering that would have been done if Gen. Lee had done that at Fredricksburg and Gettysburg? William Tecumseh Sherman - "the Nero of the War of Northern Aggression" - why? Because he fiddled around on his horse while Atlanta and Charleston burned.

Gen Sherman (War Criminal) - " I love the smell of burning wood in the evening ... it smells like ... victory."
