As you have repeated, I(and my fathers) are traitors. Why do you want to have a conversation with me?
If you insist, signify so by taking a civil, and humble tone. I have children to starve, and rain-forests to rape. Make it worth my while.
Decent "Americans" have NEVER been in insurrection against the Union.
Civility to those who try and defend the indefensible is dishonest.
