I know it is easy to get caught up in all this Civil War stuff and let it color your view of Southerners. But your statement in post #334 is completely disgusting and way out of line.
I can't believe you would question the present-day patriotism of Southerners.
The fact that you show no shame in trotting out the old "dual loyalty" canard about Southerners says a lot about how you feel about your country.
By the looks of it, you only love about 3/4ths of it and could do without the 1/4th whom you apparently consider traitors to this day.
Again, disgusting!
I place country above state, and served my country in the military for almost 30 years. By definition, if any of these southron types decided that it was in Virginia's best interest, for example, to deal with the insurgents then they would feel obliged to withold support for the government. I don't see that as patriotic.
NSL
