You're pro-choice and that's the same as baby killing, you yankee POS.

Why don't you address the fact that you helped 0bama get elected, dirtbag?

Forces of good?!? Bwahahahaha! You don't know much about your filthy yankee history do you!

Slavery in the north

Both sides had very evil motives in the war, but the Confederacy did have the right to secede... so yeah, they should have won.

Abortion is murder as I said, liar.

I voted for the pro-constitution platform of the CP as every conservative should've with McCain as the GOPer. You just guaranteed another McCain in 2012 by doing what the GOP told you to do. I don't vote for socialists and anyone who supports cap and trade is a socialist.

Forces of good?!? Bwahahahaha! You don't know much about your filthy yankee history do you!

I know that the trash that pushed secession in 1861 were Democrat traitor scum, just like yourself. There's no difference between the Democrat scum of 1861 and the Democrat scum of Obama, Reid, and Pelosi today, all want to extend slavery and you're part of that. Anti-American domestic enemies all of you. I look forward to you and all other traitors getting your just rewards.

You and all the other idiots that voted for that CP loon threw your votes away and helped guarantee an 0bama victory. You can try to spin it any way that you want to but the bottom line is that your vote was a de facto vote for 0bama.

Are you gonna vote for another weak third party candidate in 2012, moron?

I know that the trash

The trash was the pasty faced factory working filthy yankee hoards that slimed their way down South in 1861 to rape and loot and their muck eating descendents are still slithering their way down here in hoards fouling up everything they touch. You people are lower than trash.

you and all other traitors

That's rich. Mr. asshat shitslinger who cast a de facto vote for 0bama calling somebody else a traitor. You're dumber that a bag of hammers, ain't you boy.

getting your just rewards

If you ever bring that mouth of yours south of the Mason/Dixon YOU will get some just rewards, punk.

I've been down there plenty of times and got along great with everyone, thankfully not that many are Democrat anti-American traitor scum like yourself. May we meet in the great cleansing.

Pokie has been intentionally misrepresenting other folks for a long long time. My guess is that it is a genetic defect, not a cultural one. I would agree with you that most southerners that I meet are NOTHING like him (thank God!).

“four in 10 Southerners say they still sympathize with the Confederacy.”

I’m confident that number is low.

And seeing what has grown out of the omnipotent federal behemoth, I suspect large numbers of people in other sections of the country also sympathize with the Confederacy.

You are from Illinois, land of the RINOs and socialism and sodomites, you couldn’t pay me to live there, and yet you stay. Why? Go on record, Mr. Land of the Bloody Tyrant Lincoln and answer this, would you take up arms against a state(s) that seceded today given that the people of that state voted on it and the governor of the at state signed the secession ordinance? Would you? I wouldn’t, not only that, I would get to that state as fast as I could.

Look at what the slaver's rebellion supporters do here on Free Republic, they make enemies of all those that don't accept their revisionist history, which is just about everyone. So when the time comes to cleanse this nation of self-destructing liberalism and socialism, they'll accuse everyone around them of not being pure enough for them. I predict they will be part of the enemy of freedom when the time comes. Their version of freedom is the Confederate model, which was not free at all with its focus on slavery. Their "pure" form of freedom is a sham, and they'll turn against all who will not accept that model, like they've done here. If you look at their posts on other threads every issue to them is worthy of denouncing their fellow conservatives in the worst possible way, that's all they do on these threads not even related to the Civil War. When the time comes to bring this nation out of the destruction that will come after the fall of the dollar, they will take the side against freedom, like their heros did that pushed secession in 1861.

This post is a great example of what I'm talking about in my previous post. Since no one is "pure" to you, everyone is an enemy. Instead of fighting the forces of liberalism and socialism, you be engaging in purges against those that are on the side of freedom...all because they don't see history as you do. The Confederacy was an abomination, all supporters of it have to lie to themselves and everyone else to rationalize support for it. Anyone that doesn't accept this revisionism is the enemy, which is about everyone! Anyone who wants to can backtrack your posts over the last several weeks and see how many times, and on how many different topics, you've referred to your fellow conservatives in the worst possible way. You will not be one to count on the bring this nation back from the destruction after the fall of the dollar. You are part of the problem.

As far as your question, I don't advocate the dissolvement of the union. If a state wants to secede, I want them to run it through the Congress to get terms of separation. It may be that I would want to move there if DC looks to be unrepairable, but a good faith attempt at legality must be made, not like in 1861.

cva's brownshirt tendencies call back to another time and place......unpleasantly so. And you're absolutely correct that he would be unreliable - unless you wanted to start a street riot or firebomb a theater.

And what part of the Constitution backs up your claim a state has to beg congress? IT DOESN'T. Secession is legal, has always been legal and doesn't require permission from a pibsqueak little Lincoln cultist from Illinois. The Illinois Butcher™ was the worse thing to happen to this republic. Well it was a republic until that bastard got ahold of it. The lanky Yankee hopefully rots in hell for what the did to this republic.

Sarah wouldn't be a 'weak' third party candidate, dumbass. But the real point is that any third party candidate on the conservative/repub side, weak or strong, splits the vote and guarantees your boy 0bama a second term. Like I said in an earlier post, you're dumber than a bag of hammers.

I've been down there plenty of times and got along great with everyone

You must keep that pie hole of yours shut or either you're hanging around with like minded people, such as 0bama supporters.

thankfully not that many are Democrat anti-American traitor scum like yourself.

Like I said earlier, that's rich! A POS yankee that cast a de facto vote for 0bama calling somebody else a "Democrat anti-American traitor". You, punk, are the democrat anti-American traitor.

May we meet in the great cleansing.

You won't last long, shitslinger. Trust me.

Are you gonna vote for another weak third party candidate in 2012

The "third party candidate" is a political move used to influence party platforms at the conventions.

Splitting the ticket is political suicide. This is how we ended up with the Clintons. Bubba never had the votes, but won through the Bush and Perot split.

Even when we are united, the election results are too way too close for infighting. Think 'hanging chads".

BTW Abortion is murder. . . you don't compromise with murderers. "ROE" has to go.

I been reading your judgmental comments concerning the "slavers" and the 1861 secession "pushers", and you don't have a clue.
I am a direct descendant of the "slaver" and the "pushers", and can tell you, the traditions passed down were those of evangelism, discipleship, and education, the proven way to a better life for all.

You might want to read the complete "Slave Narratives". There were the Simon Legrees, as in any society. . . but there were a goodly number dedicated to the good, equipping all for freedom. . .

TRUE freedom not bondage in another form.

Here is an example. . . to not focus on the material as solution, but to trust the Lord when you find yourself in seasons of darkness.

. . . and hey, bet those principles were put to good use when your Uncle Billy and his criminals for hire, came to town to murder, rape, rob defenseless women and children, black and white, regardless of age.

So enjoy and witness the fruit of how my line and most lines of "slavers" and "pushers" ended up.
