I have read with great interest your posts on this thread. I have read venomous attacks and plenty of insults and childish name calling. I have also noticed a heavy bias on your part but that's understandable on threads like these. But the insults do not belong. Calling someone an "old coot" is engaging in a discussion or debate? Usually the insults are the last line of defense of the losers of arguments.

I believe someone is a hater based upon the words they speak and in the context they speak them. I believe someone can make a point without insulting names being thrown about. I also believe that a vast majority of "facts" in these arguments come from the fact that the winner writes the history. That has happened from the beginning of time. But just because the winner writes the "facts" does not make them fact.

I'm sure that the North Koreans believe the "facts" that are told to them by their dear leader too. But does that make them facts? I prefer to do my own research beyond history textbooks and what others tell me. I am not one to eat the spoon fed information that I am given. I can only hope you are the same.

the lunatic fringe of "the DY coven" of REVISIONISTS & "useful idiots" simply HATE dixie, her battle-flags, her memorials to the southern dead & her fine/decent dixie people.

i'd guess only about 10-15% of northerners are DAMNyankees, but that minority are REALLY ignorant, LOUD-mouthed,prejudiced,vengeful,nit-witted & generally brain-dead. they would be some OTHER sort of BIGOT, if they were not so busy HATING dixie, her symbols & our people.

MOST of them are "victums uv duh gubmint pubic scewl kurricuum" & neither "don't know better" OR they don't care that what they have been forcibly "spoon-fed" is mostly evasive, intentionally slanted and/or just plain a LIE.

i'd guess they would swallow sewage & think it "wonderful", if that was ALL they had been fed.

SADLY, sewage is MOST of the diet for them & they will accept nothing else. their minds are CLOSED. i am reminded of the DAMNyankee (thankfully, long gone to DU from FR) who once said to N-C on a WBTS thread that: what you say just can't be true, because it means that my ancestors were not "nice people" & no better than nazis.

Wow. "Old coot" gets you all in a lather, but Watie's foaming at the mouth is just fine?
