Yes, long live the Marines! Murdering for the State for over 200 years, from brandishing Colts in the Philippines to keeping down Mexico. You object to being identified with murder? Why? You seem so proud of the murdering done against the South. Every death at the hands of our armed forces should bring a grin to your face and a glistening wetness in your eyes. Isn't it too bad napalm was not around back then for that fresh morning scent? There is no need to impugn my patriotism in retort; instead, you should be telling me, 'damn right! we'll kill anyone and anything that gets in the way of a Greater America, including those pesky Christians.'
I don't suppose you are a muslim extremist.
Perhaps you are a true southron. The Marine Corps has helped keep a lot of bad guys a little further off, over time, including the CSA traitors. You must really hate the United States. How is it that you didn't wind up in an Al Quaeda camp with Jihad Johnny Lindh?
If you hate the United States so much, you should consider going or staying somewhere else.

I care little for Davis. He was a loser; a bad choice for president.
William C. Davis' new book "An Honorable Defeat" lays out Davis' obstructionist actions, even after the surrender of Lee and Johnston's armies. I guess there hadn't been enough blood and death to suit him yet.
Davis is irrelevant. Non-Sequitur keeps baiting the neo-rebs to hold Davis to the same standard they hold Lincoln to, as if people have to be refuted for blasting a 19th century person for not adhering to 21st century standards. The moral bankruptcy of GOPcap and his, shall we say, fellow travelers, is maniufest when they do that.
The reason they hate Lincoln, though they muchly deny, is because his words of forgiveness, equality, freedom and union, are anathema to them. They won't admit it, but actions speak louder than words. And the thing they damn Lincoln the most for --what engenders their 21st century ire -- is that --gasp!-- Lincoln is a racist. That they do this, despite the readily available record, shows where their hearts truly lie, and that is in a very dark place.
When Davis heard about the death of Lincoln, according the Davis' book, J.D. said, "there are many others whom I would have wished dead first."
