you mean m.eSPINola????

NOPE, he's just another in a long line of clueless damnyankee DUMBbunnies.

every post of his/hers amounts to ZILCH & requires NO thought.

[stand watie]

you appear to be yet ANOTHER drinker of the damnyankee kool-aide.

is it tasty??? even if it is, it is INJURIOUS to your INTELLIGENCE & FREEDOM.

[stand watie]

nope. it's a "special convention" of the SCV.

[stand watie]

as CITA is WELL-KNOWN to be a FICTION book (that is to say that MUCH of what he wrote was, to put it as charitably as possible, "invented out of whole cloth".), why would you want anyone to read it except perhaps as a HALF-witted attempt to write yet another piece of UNTRUTHFUL pro-damnyankee nonsense.

Your words: "Probably one of the stupid yankees from New York."

[M. Espinola]

"you mean m.eSPINola????" "NOPE, he's just another in a long line of clueless damnyankee DUMBbunnies."

[M. Espinola]

"I suggest Confederates in the Attic by Tony Horwitz."

Some of them crawled out of the attic" and are now slithering around Free Republic, masked as conservatives, spreading the Civil War gospel according to Tommy 'delusional' Delorenzo .

[Lee'sGhost]

"Probably one of the stupid yankees from New York."

As opposed to one of the smart ones, yeah.

[M. Espinola]

"Probably one of the stupid yankees from New York."

Your true deep southern colours are being clearly demonstrated, again.

[Lee'sGhost]

"Your true deep southern colours are being clearly demonstrated, again."

Well, let's break it down. In post #49 I acknowledge that there are "smart" yankees from New York, just that I don't happen to think you are one of them. If showing great reserve to ignorant comments and at the same time demonstrating that I believe there are good and intelligent New Yorkers is a "true Southern color," then paint me guilty.

Thank you.

s.w.:

Have you read this book?

I know one of the women who Horwitz talked about. I have been trying to get up with her to verify that he got that part correct.

I have lived in the rural South all of my life and everything he said rang true to my well seasoned ear. If my lady confirms what he said about her, then we must agree to disagree.

I did not see this as pro-Yankee. In fact, it appeared to me that Horwitz started out no worse than neutral and by the end, was more than a little pro-Confederacy.

that's PRECISELY what i believe, UNLESS you're a TROLL, whose job it is to pass around NONSENSE & cause NEEDLESS conflict on the thread.

free dixie,sw

[stand watie]

yes, i've read his book & KNOW that much of what he said (based on INDEPENDENT evidence & on the FACT that at least ONE "source" never spoke to or met Horowitz.) is FALSE.

which lady are you talking about?

free dixie,sw

[M. Espinola]

"that's PRECISELY what i believe, UNLESS you're a TROLL.."

There you go with that troll baloney again.

I shall you remind you of your made to order for conflict slogan after your name: "(being a damnyankee is no better than being a racist. it is a LEARNED prejudice against dixie.)" This is not normal to be so overly possessed with living in the past one would actually include such a statement after one's name. The majority of American people would think you were bonkers, not every fathom your slogan, nor care.

I realize how difficult the very thought of you living in & excepting the fact this is now the 21st century, but for once, at least try. Stop acting like a schmendrick.

[stand watie]

a TROLL is a person who comes on FR and posts STUPID, arrogant,HATEfilled, FALSEHOODS to "get a rise out of" FReepers.

you are either a TROLL or a MORON. which is it??

free dixie,sw

[stand watie]

every post you've EVER posted on FR amounts to NOTHING.

none of them required THOUGHT or showed the least amount of knowledge.

all you do is post STUPID, arrogantly IGNORANT personal attacks on FReepers.

why not head over to DU, where FOOLS dwell? i predict they will LIKE you.

This from the man who claims that there's a captured U-Boat on display in Galveston, who cites page numbers in books that don't exist (and were actually short magazine articles), that there's a national headquarters for the KKK, and that there were practical mechanical cottton harvesters available in the 1850s. You're the laughingstock of these threads, Watie, the internet equivalent of the town drunk.

Say, do you need Dr. Lubar's e-mail address?
