If you're female and he is older, you call him "Sir".
If he's your age or younger, you call him "Hon".
(At least until he tells you his name)
Next question?
:-)
You know if I were a Neo Confederate I at least have the balls to call myself one and proudly.
The Democrats played the race card in 1860 for all it was worth and they are still playing it for all it's worth today --- just from the other side of the deck.
The Democrat party has never really stood for anything except maintaining power through division of people into "interest groups" and instilling fear, suspicion and out right hatred of it's opponents.
Ah. The old 'you're the enemy if you defend any Democrat that ever existed' ploy.
That's so lame. Do you have the voters registration rolls for that era? Do you have a list of Union and Confederate soldiers listing the political beliefs of each? Can you prove they were all landowners with the civil right to vote?
No. I think not.
It was an illegal war. And Lincoln created the mechanism for a brand of slavery that haunts us to this day.
well that will do it..lol
I'm a Diet Dr Pepper man these days
I only drink coffee when I watch my favorite Yankees
The Sopranos
And your opinion of the North, that's not bigoted at all!
but then, most here knew that was true OR that you are a DU TROLL.
fwiw, that "term of abuse" was INVENTED by the southern poverty law center, the HOME of money-hungry, HATE-filled shyster lawyers, led by morris dees, a LEFTwing,DIMocRAT activist.

i just despise the LEFTIST, HATE-filled, anti-southern elitists out of the extreme left of the DIMocRAT party, like "HITLERry" Rodham Klintoon, chuckie schumer, fat/drunk teddy kennedy,"screaming" john dean & others of that ilk.
fwiw, i have MANY northern friends, BUT they are NOT DAMNyankees.
ONLY about 10% of northerners are DAMNyankees but that 10% is REALLY arrogant, south-HATING (MANY also hate the USA & the Stars & Stripes!),LOUD-mouthed & won't just "tend their own business" & leave the south's people ALONE.
and YEP, i DESPISE the elitist/REVISIONIST left from the northeast & the LEFTist coast, as MOST decent people do.

Man, you neo-confederates grab onto this one sound bite and just keep on repeating it, regardless of how stupid it makes you sound.
The EP didn't effect the slave states remaining in the Union simply because THEY WEREN'T IN REVOLT. Lincoln had no constitutional authority to proclaim slaves free in the north. He wouldn't have had any in the south, either, if they hadn't been in revolt. The proclamation was a war measure under LIncoln's authority as Commander in Chief.
Now what Lincoln could do in the north, and which you Lost Causers always neglect to mention when parroting your talking points, is to advocate for states to outlaw slavery on their own, as Maryland, Missouri and West Virginia did during the war. He could also advocate passage of the 13th Amendment, even insisting that it be included in the 1864 Republican platform. After the election it passed the House, having already passed the Senate., Lincoln signed it immediately, and it went to the states. He was murdered by a confederate agent before he could see it ratified.
Just don't let them see that picture of Kirk Lyons with his Klan buddies...
War's over. The good guys lost. Happens sometimes. Way past time to move on. I've put away my 3rd National Flag, my copies of Southern Partisan, "So Good a Cause," "The South Was Right," "War for What?" and so on. Maybe I'll pass 'em on to a grandson. If I get lucky.
Nowadays, we have bigger problems (blood-sucking parasites, barbarian invasions, and genocidal religous fanatics); Too bad the Federale's can't (or won't) seem 'em and deal with 'em appropriately and won't listen when we complain about 'em.
"That sorta defines why Yankees bug us sometimes."
Now, now, wardaddy.......put the pea shooter down and call off the dogs. Not all Yanks are lookin' for trouble! It's just a little hard sometimes to see things from a Southern perspective, which is why we need y'all to tell us! Don't be shy! :)
Undeniable Truth: Democrats are using the confederate flag issue to get votes and are using it to paint conservatives as the very racists they themselves are.
If any of you sons and daughters of the south ever cared about the confederate flag and the honor of the dead that followed those democrats that lead them into one of the worst wars in this country's history you would blame those truly responsible for the shame with which it has been stained.
