ATLANTA — In a cultural war that has pitted Old South against new, defenders of the Confederate legacy have opened a fresh front in their campaign to polish an image tarnished, they said, by people who do not respect Southern values.
With the 150th anniversary of the War Between the States in 2011, efforts are under way in statehouses, small towns and counties across the South to push for proclamations or legislation promoting Confederate history.

What do you want to know? Or would you like to try and explain Lott, Frist, Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, Liddy Dole, David Vitter first?
Va is holding on by a thread... Looks bad. Real bad.
And you Southron types are just plain old run-of-the-mill yahoos.
Red legs. Jesus, can you people get nothing right?
Seems to me the Gov. of Kansas is a Dummycrat. Not exactly the dark red heart of Republicanism.
The boots wore red leather boots idiot, or did they paint their legs red after shaving them? LOL.
Explain what? www.acuratings.org.
Other than New Hampshire, there are NO Senators from the North that are rated higher than 50%. You really have no clue about what you’re writing. Not a clue.
Must piss you off something fierce, all those Southern boys in the Yankee army.
So what branch of the army of occupation did you serve in?
“Don’t cherry-pick please. He also said that if he could end the war by freeing all of them he would.”
The poster made his point, that Lincoln didn’t care one iota about the slaves; to him, they were nothing but a political commodity to be used or expended as circumstances dictated. Lincoln waged war not to free the slaves, but to restore the Union and the revenues associated with it.
BTW, what does where he is from have to do with his stupid argument?
Likewise, Jimmy Carter, Cynthia McKinney and Ray Nagin can all be said to be your southern brethren. And considering all three are, or started. as Democrats, their linkage to the Confederacy is much greater than that between the northern Democrats to Lincoln and his Republican associates. Jefferson Davis to Cynthia McKinney, the tradition of southern Democrats.
Considering that Georgia elected their first Republican governor since reconstruction this decade, I'd say Kansas looks nice and red.
But if you're a southerner then I don't expect you to know much geography.
Not at all like that GOP stronghold, Maryland.
Kansas has voted Republican for president in every election since 1964. We were voting Republican when the South was still slobbering over the Democrat du jour.
The two parties have switched idealogically, everyone knows that. With Dodd, etc. they are proud of their Yankee past. McKinney et al would rather die than honor anything conservative and southern.

Get all your history from "Outlaw Josey Wales" do you? They were leggings, either red or tanned in color. Nobody wears red boots. Jesus.
Obviously stained with the blood of running rebels.
I never claimed I lived in a GOP stronghold. I was responding to a poster who claimed that Kansas was the “dark red heart” of Republicanism. Can’t claim that and have a dummycrat as the Governor. Besides, where you “came from” has absolutely nothing to do with who you are now. If so, I “came from” Virginia, which until recently was pretty red.
Woops, your true colors are starting to show. Wanna take that back?
Well if you're calling senators like Frist, McConnell, Graham, and Lott 'Conservatives' then I'm obviously not the one with comprehension problems.
Now, if you'll post an actual website then I'll be able to see how all the Northern senators actually stack up.
