You're a buffoon and a bigot! Please avoid lecturing me on American history because it is tiresome in the extreme. And try reading my post. First, it doesn't say which Blue State I am from or where I went to school. Any intelligent reader can infer my political leaning - very conservative on virtually every issue, by the way. It also pays my respects and gives thanks for the fact there are more right-thinking people in the southern area of our country than in my area. It also says that comments such as those made by "Always Right" convey the sense (even to THOSE OF US who are to the right of 99.99% of the people in this country) that the Civil War was nothing but ignorant yankees trying to beat-up on Southerners. The reasons behind the Civil War were complex and had much to do with economics, as well as states rights. But the over-riding reason dealt with the slave issue. To pretend otherwise makes one look foolish. I believe that fighting to free human beings from those who would enslave them is never wrong. Or do you believe that there are times that it is wrong?
Finally, stop with the "Yankee vs South" crap. I served in the USAF with wonderful people from every state as well as with jerks from every state. Your comments about Yankees is on a level with the leftists' attitude toward us Christians.
Grow up and welcome to the 21st century
Deceptive people such as yourself usually don't last long here, though there are some exceptions. We'll wait and see how you do, but it won't change who you are.
As you know, I didn't base by statement about where you are posting from on the drivel in your post. I based it on the fact that your profile page had the Washington State flag, which you have now removed.
You're getting a real good start here by displaying your bigotry, and then accusing me of being the bigot. Liars and liberals are not welcome here. If you intend to stay, you'll have to cover your lies and liberalism better than that.
There is a difference between insults and respect. I suggest you learn the difference, and at least make some minimal attempt at mimicking respect.
I will continue to discuss the North vs. South, with or without your permission. You are discussing it, yet you want everyone who tells the truth to shut up about it. Why should we leave the discussion to ignorant bigoted hotheads?
Please don't tell me you believe that propaganda about the war being fought over SLAVERY!? Jesus...what do they teach in schools these days!
BTW, you never answered my question. When is it wrong to free another human being from being enslaved? Are you encapable of reasoned discussion or do you just go off on hysterical rants about who is conservative enough for you. You sound like a conservative version of Spike Lee, judging if someone is black enough for him.
