"The Civil War is over. I don't see why either side insists on re-fighting it"

I will bridge no insult to honorable ancestors whom fought and died for what they deemed right. If you, or any others cannot fathom that concept, bugger off.

"I will bridge no insult to honorable ancestors whom fought and died for what they deemed right. If you, or any others cannot fathom that concept, bugger off."

I recall years ago when I was in the army, we had an officer in our unit who was very proud of his Confederate heritage. I, as a proud son of the South, used to have long talks with him about the Civil War. One day he and I were talking when another officer approached. This particular officer happened to be of the Northern persuasion. Both officers were very good friends with each other. When the Northern-born officer heard us discussing our ancestors who had worn gray, he made a crack about the Southern-born officer's ancestor being on the losing side. I saw the Southern-born officer's eyes flash momentarily, and instinctively stepped back to be out of the line of fire and fists. Nothing happened, but I have often wondered if their friendship was ever the same.

"bugger off" is a foreign (United Kingdom slang term). So glad you find it amusing to play devils advocate with Americans during your leisure time.
Anarchy much, you anti-American loser.
