I know a Texan who wishes he would MOVE! (to Mexico) :)

Sorry for the multiple posts. I kept getting an error message after I posted.

BRAVO, Very well said Sir, Very well indeed.

Who could possibly argue with, Paraphrasing: "I look forward to the day when we are judged not by the color of our skin, but by the depth of our character." But I certainly take exception to any suggestion that Communism is preferable to laissez-faire capitalism.

Send him over and we can discuss it up close and personal.

I'll just give you a simple answer. No, I am not a member of the nation of Islam (if they even let white people join). However, I am a member of a non-denominational Christian church, evangelical in our beliefs. I hope that sets the record straight.

Now, since we're neighbors and all, any time you want to come by and call me a jerk, a fruitcake, or anything else to my face, just freepmail me and I'm sure we can work something out.

I was just reading how on the days of Apr. 17th and 18th , 1865 , immediately after receiving an emergency cable that Lincoln had been shot , Sherman went on to meet with Gen. Joseph Johnston about the honorable surrender of Confederate forces at Bennit Farm NC. Sherman showed the cable to Johnston and watched his reaction to the news , which was horrified and indignant. Sherman thereby believed that the Confederate Army was not complicit in the assassination of Lincoln and upon announcing the death of Lincoln to his own troops also exonerated the CSA forces from the deed and held off cries for revenge and massacre . He went on to offer good terms to Johnston and the rest is history.
My point is here that controversial as he was Sherman did the right thing in the end . He could have allowed the merciless revenge attacks upon Confederates and Southern civilians and a holocaust would have followed .
Perhaps this is why upon Sherman's death in NYC , years later , Gen. Johnston appeared personally to offer his deep respects .....

Read MLK's own words. He was a Marxist.

You are right about one thing. . .

It's truly sad what passes for conservatism these day.

Same here. I may have been born north of the Mason Dixon line, but I've always understood that the wrong side won the War of Northern Agression.

What an absolutely hateful SOB you are.

[TexConfederate1861]

If the shoe fits. And don't think for one single minute that I am worried about your veiled threat.

Careful who you threaten. You might just "reap the whirlwind"

When you insult my ancestors, and their cause, you insult me. You have the right to disagree about the war, but you don't have the right to insult the memory of 60,000 Texans who were willing to die for what they believed in. And by the way: NEWSFLASH: It wasn't slavery.

[TexConfederate1861]

Be careful what you wish for.......

Welcome to the club. There are a LOT of those types around.
Unfortunately.

I enjoy them with bourbon as well, but my taste buds prefer the Woodford taken straight. :)

"the mint must be picked by a virgin philly while the morning dew is yet upon it."

A virgin from Philadelphia, or do you mean filly, as in a young female horse?

[linda_22003]

I'll assume there's a compliment in there somewhere. ;-D

[linda_22003]

And that would be the side that knew to spell it with two "g"s. :)

[Badray]

That's what gets me. If you support what the Confederacy was fighting for, you are branded a racist and in favor of slavery.

They don't even their 'victory' was pyrrhic because we are now all slaves on a much larger plantation.

A typo?

Your best argument is that at 3 AM, I made a typing error?

Go away.

Happy Birthday to your son!! :)

"There will be others, I assure you."

I would like to hope so, but I fear the hand of providence that raised these men up is slowly being withdrawn from this Country.

Time will tell however.
