You're dealing with people here that have made up there mind that there mind will not be changed, no matter what. It's too painful for some people to let go of long-standing distortions that they were taught essentially since they were children. The fact that the world may be more complex than their litle minds is very painful to some.

Once the Northern culture began to deteriorate, through several causes, their minds began to shrink. They used the sin of the South (slavery) against them, and have been in the process of trying to make the Blacks the subhumans they accuse Southerners of deeming them. By the way, using someone's sin to promote one's own heinous sin is the vilest thing one can do. They won the war, and now the minds of all Americans have been shrinking ever since. Their advocates on this forum show up the ugliness of those shrunken minds. Go to Jersey, go to St. Paul, go to Baja Jersey (Miami) and you see those small, withered minds, cussing people out in whiny, nasal voices because their boredom with life, due to their tiny, dysfunctional minds, makes them peevish and cranky.

More was at stake in that conflict than my Confederate fathers even realized, I am sure. I doubt they could clearly forsee the degradation caused by the triumph of the putrid Yankee culture.

All we can say is, Deo vindice!

Thankfully, Patriotic Southerners have made efforts to keep out the evil Yankees' genes, if not their backward culture. Its best to keep one's genes to one's family. Thank Gawd All Mighty for sisters.

That's a pretty good example of what turns people off about neo-confederate rants. You almost come to the point of some idea of a master race or a superior culture. Then there's the whole cultic dimension that's also scary. And you get so involved in maintaining Southern self-esteem that you subordinate everything, including stubborn historical facts, to it.

But it's not a question of North against South. The question is rather whether we are better off as one country or would better have been divided in 1860. Most Americans rightly agree that national unity has been a good idea. Most of us would gladly leave the war in the past and work for the best for our country in the present.
