To: BroJoeK; onedoug
You'll notice that the neo-confederates are usually careful to predicate their remarks with "only xx% of southerners were slavers" or "my family didn't own slaves" or the cognitively dissonant "I hate slavery but love the cornfederacy" when voicing their support for the slavocracy's rebellion.

Which makes onedoug's comment even more interesting. onedoug's grammatically challenged comment: "Yet even in spite of the tragedy of damned slavery which led to that horrible war, as in the least it is, had I not already been there, I would have gone South."(emphasis mine)

Later, when offered an opportunity to revise his remarks he doubles down:

(BroJoeK to onedoug): onedoug, post #4: "Yet even in spite of the tragedy of damned slavery which led to that horrible war, as in the least it is, had I not already been there, I would have gone South."

onedoug: "Yes sir."

The plain reading of his words are the support of the rebellion, Particular Institution and all. They are not often that candid and for that at least I suppose we should applaud him.
