I wasn't talking about the original source material - which you procede to misinerpret. I am talking about recognized authorities in the field who agree with your interpretation.

You won't make the rules around here, and we aren't going to play your little game. If you want to bring red-diaper historians and assorted campus Marxists in here, you do so at your own peril.

This isn't a "herstory" seminar in Ithaca or a moderated lit-crit belly-button feelathon in Berkeley. You're talking to Americans now.

You might want to retool your game, chump, because it isn't working in here.

Start with the lying.

"You won't make the rules around here, and we aren't going to play your little game. If you want to bring red-diaper historians and assorted campus Marxists in here, you do so at your own peril."

Scary. Given that my "little game" is providing authoritative documentation as substantiation, I can see how you would flee in terror. "Run away!"

"You're talking to Americans now."

You? No real American glorifies the principles and actions of the confederacy.
