As a descendant of a Confederate veteran, I find your remarks not only insulting but misinformed. I do not wish to fight the Civil War all over again on this forum; however, those who fought for State's Rights and independence from an oppressive government were only exercising the same rights that those colonist/rebels claimed in the Revolutionary War. From the British point of view, I am sure that they too thought the colonist were a few bricks short. The majority of the rights that members of the FR discuss are no different than what those patriots in the Civil War fought for in their war for Southern Independence. Make all the fun that you want of these brave men and women, who gave their life for this cause, and many of their offspring have fought for this country since the Civil War. You do them no honor by attacking their loved ones.

I rarely pass up a chance to make fun of the political Confederacy, it was a ridiculous and laugh-inducing failure. But the rebel soldiers themselves are a different matter. The secessionist idiots were not worthy of the sacrifice of the the typical Confederate soldier. I’m just following the lead of Robert E. Lee who knew secession was a bad idea.
