"The men were taken out of power. but their ideas continue to resonate."


Priceless. I laughed out loud at the irony. I think about that every time I read a new neo-confederate thread pining for the South's slave days.

Screamingly funny. Thanks. I will laugh the rest of the day.

The response was re: Sadaam and Hitler, not CSA leaders. When Hitler's book are on the best seller list in Turkey, we still have work to do.

I also note that more than one Southern basher on the FR boards has been outed as a neo-nazi. Careful with the company you keep.

Who is pining for the slave days? I am into genealogy. NONE of my ancestors owned slaves. They were too poor themselves trying to make a living in the South. I did have many ancestors who fought for the South, though. You need to read more and just maybe do some genealogy research on your own families unless they have been in this country since the 1860's. One of the first ancestors in one side of my family came over here as an indentured servant for 11 years but he loved freedom more than the country he was from.
