If anything I paid you a compliment in that you tried to provide an equivocal to pokie to cover for his dunderheaded comment. I certainly didn’t call you an idiot. Your southron compatriot is the one who did that.
Just as in the Civil War, the “lead” is flying from all sides. I cannot dodge it all. lol
The original point of this thread was that Beck OVERSTATED the role or importance of slavery in the Confederate Constitution. Indeed, I believe that is true. Others are not persuaded that is so.
Fine. let us acknowledge that there are intellectual, philosophical and interpretive differences in the historical facts and documents of the time. I think justifiably so, again, you may not. Okay. We shall agree to disagree at this juncture.
I’m not an idiot. I don’t consider any of you idiots. Some of you ARE “Yankees,” but am I justified in stereotyping? Are all Southerners (”Southrons” may be technically correct, but it’s always sounded so pretentious to me) hicks, hayseeds, hillbillies, or rednecks? Are we all “racists?” Please...
Can we get past all that crap? The politically correct nonsense is counterproductive. We are where we are now. North or South, East Coast or West, our nation is in a mess. So, what CAN we agree on to get it pointed in the right direction?!
Anything?
