I guess I'm just against glorifying traitors. Silly me.

Yeah me too

They should have shot Lincoln before the war, not after.

Its interesting to note how you've decided to twist history. The South decided to just go their own way BEFORE Lincoln did anything. Thus the Southern states forced the conflict into a conflict of arms. Whether you want to admit it or not Lincoln preserved the Union, because otherwise today we'd have several smaller less powerful countries that would resemble Europe rather than our fine nation.

Secondly, If any state could just succeed what would have stopped the South from fragmenting into 16 countries? There has to be a central authority that connects the states together, even the Founding Fathers realized this when they drafted the Constitution. That other Presidents have come to the conclusion that the Federal government should give cradle to grave care for the common man (and woman) is the abomination of the 20th Century.

Finally, I have no problems with the Confederate Flag, and think that if Gay and Lesbian groups fly their flag, then Southern Heritage groups should be able to do the same.

Remember, Lincoln forgave the South, maybe its high time the South should return the favor?

Cheers,
CSG
