Southern school systems, judging by the spelling.

Northern inner-city "magnet" schools. "Magnet", because they have big magnets at the entrances to detect pistols being carried in.

But if your tales be true then apparently the confederate problem rose to the level of whole armies deserting.

The People resigned the war and went home. If one guy takes French leave, that's desertion. When the People in arms do it, that's going home, period. You still haven't read that Scarry law article yet, have you?

"If your tales be true...." -- that what you call my quoting seven pages of history? And rustbucket's links to his 2003 posted quotations and epitomes?

"If you can read," you might take a look yourself.

Lack of vision, I guess. Foolishness.

Or could it be that the Republican platform supported the ridiculous (to the southerners) idea that 'all men are created equal'? Or perhaps it was the plank that said it was the rights of states to control their own institutions? Or the plank against the expansion of slavery or the one against the reintroduction of slave trading? Or perhaps it was the lack of a plank advocating the conquest of Cuba? I can't imagine southern Democrats signing on to any of that.

Hyuk, yuk, yuk, you're posts are always soooo funny. But if you're suggesting that stand waite is the product of a Northern school then I think that he would consider that an insult.

When I was in the military the technical term for that was 'desertion in the face of the enemy'. You know, cowardice.

Stand, the tragedy that I see is that a small group of people in the South with political clout beyond their numbers tore the South away from possible concerted action with the South's natural allies in the expanding West.

Wrong direction -- it was the Republicans and Abolitionists who did that with their anti-slavery agitation and their moral crusade against slavery. The Republican platform confined itself to agitation against slavery in the territories, but everyone knew what the payload was, especially anyone who'd read Lincoln's speeches.

The Republicans were the ones who used the wedge issue of slavery to divide the agrarians and install a machine-political apparatus at the national level to serve the industrial and business interests exclusively.

It was called "the Gilded Age," and the South didn't do that. The Republicans did, all the way. It was the master strategy, and it worked. Just like in the Federalist period, the very determined and clever business class won, and the People got screwed. In addition, the People in the South ate dirt on their bellies for 50 years, and they still aren't first-class citizens yet. The Southern States still can't hold an election unless the Justice Department says so.

[You]Sure. I'll give you a call when I get there.

Good, I'll set up a promotion for it and rent you a P.A. system -- a real boomer -- and we'll get a permit for a public park in the middle of Vidor, Texas. You can stand there with a nice, hot bratwurst in your hand and a Chicago Bears cap on and tell everyone how cowardly you think Southern men are, and especially Texans. Don't leave anything out, speak as long as you like, and then we'll poll the crowd.

Depends on your point of view. Rush is from Cape Girardau, Missouri. That's southern, I guess.

Please refrain from cussing, cursing and otherwise foul language. There are young children that enjoy these threads, not to mention it being offensive.

[You, being silly and disingenuous -- but I repeat myself] I read it. Too late, you were embarassing enough for the both of us.

I mean my post at #587, the last seven grafs.

The part about the problems the North had with "equality", except for forcing it on the South as sociopolitical degradation.

That part.

If you'd really read it, you wouldn't have posted in reply as you did.
