Correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t Davis and his fellow travelers Democrats for the most part?

There is no comparison between a Southern democrat of 1860 and a northern left wing communist democrat of 2008.

Hell, there isn't even a comparison between old school Southern democrats, such as Zell Miller, to todays left winger.

And if you really want to go there, todays Republican party doesn't much resemble conservatism anymore, either.

once more, your FAILUER to actually address the issues i mentioned means that you KNOW that your position is FALSE.

You address no issues. You merely spout manure and demonstrate your ignorance.

Really? Neither one cared about or had any real loyalty to their country.

It hasn't since the Southern Republicans took over.

"You address no issues." ===> oh, i see. ONLY those who agree with your bigoted, radical, unionist agenda have valid points??? (thanks,for making that clear to everyone.)

the facts are that the WBTS was caused by just that sort of ARROGANT, unyielding,south-HATING, SELF-righteous, opinion on the part of the 19th century's DAMNyankee minority.

that selfsame stand on the part of TODAY's DY minority may well be the cause a SECOND WBTS. (btw, do you work for OBAMA's campaign or HILLERY's???)

the MAIN FACT (which you DY extremists/LEFTISTS) don't want to deal with is:

what is NOT PROHIBITED by the Constitution is PERMISSABLE.

the RIGHT of secession (which is that of the PEOPLE as represented in mass by their state(s) was NEVER CEDED to the federal government;therefore, it REMAINS one of the POWERS of the several states.

Murder and rape are NOT PROHIBITED by the Constitution. I guess you think that they are PERMISSABLE.

Besides, unilateral secession as practiced by the Southern states in prohibited by the Constitution. The Supreme Court said so.

murder/rape are NOT federal crimes (except those committed on federal property) AND i THINK you are smart enough to KNOW that we are talking about Constitutional issues, rather than common crimes.

the USSC said that "separate but equal", "abortion on demand" are Constitutional & has made any number of other STUPID decisions.

be sure and DEFEND Plessy v. Fergusoon & Roe v. Wade OR tell us, once & for all, that you are WRONG in EVERY way about the "9 black-robed crows" being INFALLIBLE! (the last time i looked, NONE of the 9 justices were the POPE!)

laughing AT you WEAK attempt to cover up the fact that the CONSTITUTION does NOT prohibit secession. (if that;'s the best argument you have, you have LOST the argument, have had "your clock cleaned" & just aren't smart enough to know it.)

fwiw, i see AGAIN that the "vulgar-talking,loutish, shunned one " has posted to me twice more.

inasmuch as he was informed weeks ago that i would NEITHER read NOR answer his STUPIDITY, arrogant silliness & FILTH, one must assume that he is BRAIN-dead & "has no life". in addition, he is MORALLY UNFIT to BE a FReeper.

laughing AT anyone who is THAT clue-LESS.

swattie, you are the gift that keeps on giving! I have no doubt that you think you are doing a devastating job of ripping us up, but what the rest of the world sees is a pathetic dirty little creature standing on the corner howling at the moon.

You play at this moronic “shunning” game, yet you still respond to me (only in the way of MY choosing, not yours ;’}

You are too cowardly to stand and fight for what you believe, but have no reservation against hiding behind women or the mods in order to find refuge while you shout spittle-flecked invectives.

Your ignorance is invincible, your powers of persuasion are atrophied, and your tolerance is nonexistent. You are the poster child for modern liberalism.

Now, say something stupid - I dare ya!

“600,000 plus dead. Thousands of women, children and the elderly left homeless and destitute. Economic ruin. Thousands of square miles ruined. 11 states under military occupation and subject to the exploitation of human vultures swooping down from the north. The Constitution ignored and a powerful, centralized federal government ruling the people.


NS: Let that be a lesson to you then. Do not start a war unless you’re willing to live with the consequences.”

Indeed. I guess the Southerners knew for a short time, before the reign of terrorism against the Republican Party and freed blacks and the reinstitution of tyrannical and racist Democratic rule, how it felt to be black. And only some years, not centuries.

George Washington reportedly told his aide that if the two sections were to separate over slavery (as indeed, anyone who follows history knows was the cause of the sectional strife) he would join the North.

At least men like the Laurenses, Lafayette, the Father of Our Country (GW) and Thomas Jefferson were aware of the evil of slavery, how it inured Southern gentlemen and ladies to tyrannical and despotic and arbitrary rule over other human beings (the antithesis of liberty and the independent yeoman farmer unafraid and unashamed of laboring with his hands) and how it was actually a long-term economic and moral detriment to the South and to the Republic. They also foresaw that a great conflict would arise between the sections over slavery.

The Southrons/Neo-Confederates seemingly spit upon the great example of the JEffersons and Washingtons, slave owners with a conscience and insight, and embrace men who would attempt to enshrine one of the most horrific and violent institutions in the history of mankind in PERPETUITY, condemning untold millions to misery and to intellectual and material poverty and suffering for all time, is a testament to their moral blindness and lack of TRUE patriotism.

you're NOT that dumb/clueLESS, as the other members of "the DY coven" demonstrably are.

it must be hard to have to try to lead the group of "useful idiots"/bigots/filthy-talking louts/LIARS/fools/antisemites/leftists/weirdos that comprise "the DAMNyankee coven" on FR.

sadly for YOU & every other person, who believed the MYTH that you were force-fed in "Duh fedrul gubmint publick screwls sistim", the WBTS was NOT "about slavery".

just how STUPID & DISHONEST the REVISIONIST position that "slavery was all" is partially illustrated by the following:

1.slavery existed in both north & south,

2. the percentages of slave ownership were about the same in both regions,

3. only 5-6% of American citizens owned even one slave,

4. slavery was DYING an UN-lamented natural death by 1860 & would have died out within a decade, absent the war,

5. MANY northern slavers planned to KEEP their slaves after the WBTS &

6. lincoln (the tyrant & tool of the northeastern elitists) was perfectly willing to protect slavery PERMANENTLY by Constitutional amendment, if the south remained in the union &

7. (even if the MYTH is true & the war was solely/mostly "about slavery"===> it is NOT truthful.) KILLING a MILLION Americans (MANY of the DEAD were SLAVES) to end slavery a decade earlier than it would have died, absent the war, seems a REALLY high BLOOD-PRICE to pay, don't you think???

in actuality, the WBTS was about just TWO main things:

1. whether the south could freely leave the union of states, which her states had freely joined AND

2. would the south/southerners remain "under the boot-heel" of the financial/social/business elites out of the northeast.

fwiw, i know it was hard for you/most Americans to learn that there was no real Santa Claus, Easterbunny & the Tooth Fairy. NOW it's time to "put away childish things" & learn/admit that the WBTS was solely about FREEDOM for dixie.

and finally, what caused the bitterness felt by most traditional southerners, even today, was NOT losing the war & Reconstruction. the REAL source of bitterness was the WAR CRIMES & CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY, which were committed against TENS of THOUSANDS of defenseless, civilian women/children/prisoners of war by the "filth in blue that flowed down from the north".

Thus spoketh the ultimate Lost Cause Loser. You have to go to DHimmicratic Underground to find more virulent Anti-Americanism. From the ugly baseless revisionism of history, to the nasty bigoted slander against an entire people because of the alleged actions of a few (generations ago mind you!), and with pointless insults thrown in for good measure.

I couldn’t have pointed to a better illustration of what a treasonous character this swattie is and why he has no business on a pro-American site like FreeRepublic.

FreeRepublic from bigoted losers like swattie!

we all note that you have failed to defend Plessy v. Ferguson & Roe v. Wade, as i asked you to in post #529.

as you are the foremost "worshiper of the 9 crows" of the USSC, i would have thought that you would have jumped at the chance to tell us why SEPARATE BUT EQUAL & ABORTION ON DEMAND were such "wunnerful, wunnerful" & WISE decisions of the court.

further, i would have thought that you would have defended DREDD SCOTT, too, as you seem to believe that the USSC's members are somehow INFALLIBLE.

it comes down to this, N-S, either you defend the STUPID & UNCONSTITUTIONAL decisions of the USSC or you should tell everyone WHY we should believe SOME decisions are INFALLIBLE & other decisions (the ones you do NOT like and/or choose to defend) are WRONG.

frankly, i don't think you have the GUTS to do either.

fwiw, there are NO "neo-confederates", except in the twisted little mind of Morris Dees, the SHYSTER in chief of the so-called Southern Poverty Law center. Dees, himself, said that he "created the term" as an INTENTIONAL SLUR against ALL southerners, as he HATES all of us. (in that, Dees sounds like the members of "the DAMNyankee coven of lunatics,REVISIONISTS,"useful idiots",LEFTISTS, fools, bigots,south-HATERS, antisemites & nitwits", who infest FR.)

every time i see/hear someone mention "neo-confederates", i know i'm dealing with a south-HATER, a FOOL or a person who is simply ignorant of the term's origin & thus does NOT know that he/she is using a TERM OF ABUSE.
