ATLANTA — In a cultural war that has pitted Old South against new, defenders of the Confederate legacy have opened a fresh front in their campaign to polish an image tarnished, they said, by people who do not respect Southern values.
With the 150th anniversary of the War Between the States in 2011, efforts are under way in statehouses, small towns and counties across the South to push for proclamations or legislation promoting Confederate history.

When you're hunting something considerably smarter than you are then I can see where you'd think it was macho.
But which one will tell us that; Curly, Larry, or Moe?
I'm sure that you're familiar with all the girls sports so I'll clue you in on what men call sport:
World extreme cage fighting
Bull riding
Boxing
Ice hockey
Football
and any other sport where every play could be your last.
After you, bluebelly.
Lack of any quotes by Lee indicating a support for ending slavery, and quotes by him as late as January 1865 saying slavery was the best condition for blacks in the confederacy. As for Jackson, he owned slaves for much of his adult life. Copies of the lesson plan for his Sunday school exists and teaching reading wasn't on it. That and basic common sense - why would Jackson take it upon himself to teach another man's property how to read?
What have you got?
Figures.
Hunting yankees is like shooting ducks in a barrel or...........maybe a crater of their own making.
The only real sport is trying to get one dead yankee for every round fired and that wouldn't even be very hard.
Like Gus McCrae said in Lonesome Dove: "I'd like a chance t' shoot at an educated man once in my life."
World extreme cage fighting Bull riding Boxing Ice hockey Football
and any other sport where every play could be your last.
If that's the definition, then a black man speaking to a white woman in Mississippi was a man's sport for many years.
And you must not have seen the charge that Syracuse's Jonny Flynn took from Oklahoma's Blake Griffin the other night. That play certainly could have been the last for Flynn and I think I'd rather try to ride a bull than try to stand there without any helmet or protective pads and take Griffin's charge like Flynn.
Next time you see Bobby Knight or Lebron James, I suggest you walk up to them and tell them to their face that they are involved in a girl's sport.
Fat chance of that happening in your part of South Carolina.
Got it right here. Read "Stonewall Jackson" by Lieut.Col. GFR Henerson, CB, and you'll find it, too.
Have you ever tried it or any other manly sports?
I played football and basketball in high school. World extreme cage fighting, alas, was not offered as an intramural activity.
I'll take a hit from a 240 lb man versus a 2000 lb bull any day. (and you yankees claim a superior intellect.............hahahahaha)
Next time you see Bobby Knight or Lebron James, I suggest you walk up to them and tell them to their face that they are involved in a girl's sport.
Bobby Knight................are you sure about that? An out of control Richard Noggin who lashes out at people who can't/don't fight back? I guess wife beaters are manly in your view..................
Au contraire mon cheri!
We have so many of your wonderfully educated and intelligent targets......er......brothers moving down here that my part of SC is becoming a, well, target rich environment!!!
You go to a girls school?
Did you have to wear those little plaid skirts?
Again, an activity where all the intellect, as well as most of the weight, would lie with your opponent. Suggest you stay away from it.
Nope. A non-southern one.
What you're saying then is that the locals need not fear being shot?
“Lack of any quotes by Lee indicating a support for ending slavery”
Robert E. Lee letter dated December 27, 1856:
I was much pleased the with President’s message. His views of the systematic and progressive efforts of certain people at the North to interfere with and change the domestic institutions of the South are truthfully and faithfully expressed. The consequences of their plans and purposes are also clearly set forth. These people must be aware that their object is both unlawful and foreign to them and to their duty, and that this institution, for which they are irresponsible and non-accountable, can only be changed by them through the agency of a civil and servile war. There are few, I believe, in this enlightened age, who will not acknowledge that slavery as an institution is a moral and political evil. It is idle to expatiate on its disadvantages. I think it is a greater evil to the white than to the colored race. While my feelings are strongly enlisted in behalf of the latter, my sympathies are more deeply engaged for the former. The blacks are immeasurably better off here than in Africa, morally, physically, and socially. The painful discipline they are undergoing is necessary for their further instruction as a race, and will prepare them, I hope, for better things. How long their servitude may be necessary is known and ordered by a merciful Providence. Their emancipation will sooner result from the mild and melting influences of Christianity than from the storm and tempest of fiery controversy. This influence, though slow, is sure. The doctrines and miracles of our Savior have required nearly two thousand years to convert but a small portion of the human race, and even among Christian nations what gross errors still exist! While we see the course of the final abolition of human slavery is still onward, and give it the aid of our prayers, let us leave the progress as well as the results in the hands of Him who, chooses to work by slow influences, and with whom a thousand years are but as a single day. Although the abolitionist must know this, must know that he has neither the right not the power of operating, except by moral means; that to benefit the slave he must not excite angry feelings in the master; that, although he may not approve the mode by which Providence accomplishes its purpose, the results will be the same; and that the reason he gives for interference in matters he has no concern with, holds good for every kind of interference with our neighbor, -still, I fear he will persevere in his evil course. . . . Is it not strange that the descendants of those Pilgrim Fathers who crossed the Atlantic to preserve their own freedom have always proved the most intolerant of the spiritual liberty of others?
Y'all must love when a Northern Boy drops bombs on your God a.k.a {Lincoln}!
What points? Lincoln isn't the Humanitarian like is taught in your Yankee schools?That Lincoln was jest another lying attorney?That worship of politicians is bad?
