It’s one thing to say we will love fight or be exterminated and entirely another to say the men of the South deserved to be exterminated because the fought against lincoln’s invasion. Anyone who takes that position is not a conservative nor sane. Because if you do then our founding fathers are tarred with the same brush- no liberty loving individual could say such a thing- there are a lot of trolls and instigators on FR and it’s obvious at times.

So you don’t mind people firing on US forces? Good to know.

In other words, like any Democrat speech politzei, you're going to insist that what's OK for you to say is just not OK for me?
In this particular example, Davis was talking about exterminating his own people!
Hyperbole aside, how can that be less offensive than "exterminating" an enemy military force?

These day's, especially since the WWII Holocaust, we don't talk about "exterminating" anyone, but the word was used in the past with less serious connotations, as my example shows.
