6. "Dixie" -- written by Daniel Decatur Emmett (1859). A minstrel song written by a Northerner that was later adopted by soldiers and supporters of the Confederacy. It has a past fraught with racial tension that assures continuing controversy, but the lyrics themselves are largely free of such baggage. It's all in the context.

Honest Abe Lincoln loved the song, and I think it was even played at his inauguration.

While I *almost* always stand for Dixie when it's played, I just remembered several times when I didn't.

On the Dukes of Hazzard, when the horn on the General Lee played it. I kept forgetting.

that means nothing. wee willie klintoon also says that he LOVES dixie!

DIShonest abe & wee willie are TWINS, separated by 150 years. NEITHER was a decent person/POTUS. EITHER would do/say ANYTHING to get ahead.

if 3% of the voters decided to become cannibals, BOTH would have mailed out "White House recipes" for eating people.
