He was talking about me.
Clearly we are dealing with someone who knows nothing that wouldn’t have been at home in Margrett Mitchell’s nonsense.

Just more of the “Happy Darky” crap.

Don’t rule out a male Cynthia look at Shirley Povich.

Years ago, people had to make tough choices, for or against slavery, for or against secession, civil war, reconstruction, segregation, industrialization, desegregation. Nowadays people don't even have to put up with the weather, thanks to heating and air conditioning.

So it's easy for some people to forget all those hard choices and pretend that it was always much simpler, always just the good us against the bad government. Nothing against a little libertarian rebelliousness against big government, but Washington DC isn't the only enemy liberty's ever had.

What I think they forget is that the Confederate government was a government that aspired to exercise power over people, not a bunch of anti-government Tea Party guys who got together in their garages to chew the fat and were attacked by the feds.
