"Don't start a war you are not prepared to win. Military Science 101."

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, if the South had been victorious in defeating the ruthless, arrogant & blood thirsty North, that would have made them right? Vindication? Since you consider the "Lost Cause" as nothing but a bunch of slave owning fascists duping their redneck citizens in an unjust war, I ask you the following; Does it follow then, in your distorted and dictatorial style, if the Third Reich had conquered Europe and won WWII that would have been vindication for them, also?

So what do you attribute your pathalogical hatred of the North to? Were you picked on by a Yankee as a child or something?

Secession doesn't start a war, it is the reaction to it that may or may not cause war. Therefore the chances for war will always be proportional to how warlike, "animalistic", ruthless and arrogant the party separated from is.

Secession didn't cause the war. From the time South Carolina began their rebellion to the early morning of April 13th, 1861 not a single hostile act had been taken by either Buchanan or Lincoln to force an end to secession. Every act of aggression was committed by the South. It was the South that chose war. They decided Sumter was worth the conflict. They thought they could initiate a war and win it. They were wrong. All the warlike, animalistic behavior, all the ruthlessness and arrogance lay in Montgomery. And considering the constant Lost Cause refusal to take responsibility for their actions, it's clear that such behavior continues to this day.

End the occupation....

ROTFLMAO!!!!! Considering all the damage done by the last 5 Southern presidents I think that the real question is haven't be paid enough for Sherman's march?

If I insisted that every Lost Cause website remove all the Southron myth that they try to pass off as fact then they would all shut down for lack of anything to post.

The first daunting task for you would be to prove your allegations and then establish your credibility; a virtually impossible task for you, the master of myths, lies and spin.

OK. I am not an atheist. Happy?

Then accept my apology.

Hence the puzzlement over why all y'all are so fascinated with either subject.

The fascinating part is how easy it is to yank your chain with it.

Lost Cause hyperbole aside, it would have meant that they wouldn't need to care what the losing side thought.

Since you consider the "Lost Cause" as nothing but a bunch of slave owning fascists duping their redneck citizens in an unjust war, I ask you the following; Does it follow then, in your distorted and dictatorial style, if the Third Reich had conquered Europe and won WWII that would have been vindication for them, also?

You're a funny, funny guy.

And nowhere near as bad as you would have us believe.

And nowhere near as good as your revisionist history books have snookered millions of children, and, unfortunately, adults (like yourself), into believing.

Pot, meet kettle.

I will accept it in the spirit in which I'm sure it was intended.

Whatever chain you're yanking on must be attacked to a tree limb because it hasn't bothered me at all.

Oh there's a lot of myth out there about Lincoln, make no mistake. But if millions have been snookered into believing myths about Lincoln then millions of Southerners have also been bamboozled into believing the myths about the Lost Cause. As evident by the Southron posters here.

Being systematically lied about and demonized for 150+ years, for starters.

Secondly, a traditional distrust and loathing by the Scots/Irish South for the englis northron.

Third, the abhorrence of homosexuality and atheism.

Stop the presses!!!!

Up until this very moment, non-sense has been in a complete state of denial about secession even going as far as unequivocally stating that the South never seceded.

Glad to see that you're finally starting to admit certain truths, non-sense.

I also used the term 'rebellion'. Illegal acts of secession and rebellion are synonymous.

So that's somehow supposed to be more righteous?

Hate is hate, hoss.
