"You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time." Abraham Lincoln If one were believe you, the segregated South was only a concocted myth invented by "South haters", and the the pre-Civil War South was a wonderful "gracious civilization" for everyone living there, including the millions of slaves, forced to work under the Cotton Empire's brutal Nazi-like system of forced labour - or be flogged or put to death.

They've gotten smarter over the last generation or so, these apologists for the proto-fascist system in the Old South. They've shed the language of the 1960's segregationists and Klan members and replaced it with their "gracious civilization" and "Dixie liberty" pap.

Your endless begging of philosophic questions is no more credible than your out right lies. Since every point you have tried to make has been refuted, one or more times, by the Conservatives who have posted on this thread, it is time to stop paying you so much attention. The thread has gotten stale.
