>The Civil War is over.

Not only the Thw War Of Southern Aggression over... it was friggen' *lost,* and lost badly. Those who worship the Confederate battle flag are worshipping the flag of a bunch of whiny damned LOSERS.

"Not only the Thw War Of Southern Aggression over... it was friggen' *lost,* and lost badly."

Is that why the north suffered more combat casualties than the South?. The South was out numbered more than two to one and still took over four years to end the War.

"Those who worship the Confederate battle flag are worshipping the flag of a bunch of whiny damned LOSERS."

You are mistaken. The losers are shown in blue on the map below.

We have God and all the guns anyway. What do you blue zone socialists have now besides gay pride parades and leaders such as Hillary Clinton and Ted Kennedy?

Hey Orionblamblam, why don't you just put a sock in it.

You really have gone too far, calling men who pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor for a cause they believed in, and who lost, "whiny damned losers".

Any further comment to express my outrage at your derision would have me permanently banned from this board.

It is not a question of worshipping the Confederate battle flag, any more than the stars and stripes, but the heritage it represents, and right now the latter seems to be suffused with more whiny damned losers than any other on the planet, with the possible exception of the French. Why else would they have sought to have the billboard removed?

You might want to reread your history there. Union casualties were easily double southern casualties because, frankly, northerners didn't have very much fight in them. You know you're people are naturally warrior inclined when a single army's worth of them can hold off another whole country for four years, and a lot of these soldiers didn't have basic equipment like shoes, you know.

So yeah, the north won. They did it by throwing man after man in front of southern guns until the south ran out of bullets. If you want to call that military genius be my guest, I'm just glad the men we have in charge of the military these days are a bit smarter than that.

I don't worship the Battle Flag, though I have one and am not offended by it. I had ancestors on both sides of the War, some in the same battles, and I salute the honor and courage of those on both sides.
