It is amusing...watching a Vermont patrician liberal try to cover a faux paux about something he knew nothing about to begin with.

I just got back from Appalachia where CBF(s) are everywhere...which also amuses me since their ancestors were mostly staunch Union.

The only thing funnier than watching Kerry shoot pheasants would be watching Dean in a tree stand.

LOL, here also. The Ozark Mountain regions were a hotbed of Union activity here. That region supplied Union regiments and was pro-Union throughout. But go up there today and you see Confederate flags on schools and flying by the side of the road more than anywhere else. Not sure what the dynamic is.

Where were you? I've been doing some research into the NC mountains where my ancestors were from. I had always heard they were pro-union up there but I've also heard there has been a book or two out lately that contradicts that. All my ancestors and relatives except one or two fought for the Confederacy. The ones that fought for the other side we just don't talk about ;)
